Underwear ?

Mommyluv384 · November 2012

I just realized my maternity undies all will hit we're my scar is. What underwear did you use after you csection?

And do you have a pj recommendation for hospital stay?

With my first, it was an emergency c. I feel even more unprepared this time and starting to get panicked

I recommend taking and asking for extra mesh undies at the hospital. I got enough for 2 weeks and that was a lifesaver. I bought cheap granny panties for after too but the skin above my incision is quite raw so they hurt a bit.

The past 2 weeks I have been wearing my hanky lanky undies and some others that I have from Patagonia. Neither are cheap but feeling comfy is a priorty right now.

Good luck!

I bought larger hanes panties from target, they were okay but I'm so glad I took home extra of the mesh panties you get at the hospital. I wish I took more, and I took a lot to begin with! I was so sad when I used them all up hahaha (and I thought I wouldn't use them before I went into the hospital!!)

I slept/wore maternity night gowns in the hospital, they have great, cheap ones at old navy! Super comfy and yet they are dressy enough that they look like sun dresses! GL!

I got my stuff at target. They are yoga pj capris and granny panties. I also wore a nursing tank top with pj sweatshirt. I will wear the same second time around. I didn't and don't care if I ruin a few granny panties. I wore a pad on my incision with the belly band the hospital gave me and only ruined a few.

The mesh underwear rubbed me raw. I put on my granny panties the minute I could. I ruined all but 2 of the 8 pair I wore, but I didn't care. I was comfy and it was worth the money!

I wore Hanes bikini - not too low cut, and higher than my incision.

I didn't like the mesh undies - they got caught on my staples a couple times, and that did not feel good.

I wore yoga pants that hit around my belly button.

I bought big ol' high-waisted granny panties for after my C/S.

Hanes "granny panties." lol The real high ones that don't cut at your scar. I wore the hospital gown the first day and a half. It was just easier to use the restroom (once I was allowed to walk) and easier to nurse since it unbuttoned.

I then changed into comfy pj cotton pants with nursing tanks. I wear size small in everything, but bought a medium in pants and nursing tanks for my bigger waste and breast after birth.

I got a pack of Hanes high cut underwear and it's been fantastic.

As for pjs, I just got a pair of jammies from Wal-mart. Button up top with stretchy pants bottoms.

Definitely suck it up and get some granny panties. I got some of the high cut briefs at Target and they worked perfectly. It was weeks before I could wear my standard bikinis again. I hated the mesh panties. I had a reaction to the tape and wound up with blisters and the mesh panties irritated them even more. In terms of pajamas, I wound up wearing Target nursing tanks and scrub pants. Scrub pants (or similar) are nice because they sit at your waist and have an adjustable tie waist.

I loved the mesh undies. I took home a weeks worth. Then I switched back to the granny panties I'd been wearing during my pregnancy. I'm still wearing the granny panties, my pre-preg undies won't stay up since I'm still wearing my maternity pants.

I wore the hospital gowns for the first two days, then I switched to a pair of comfy sweats with fabric waistband (no elastic), nursing bra and a tank top with a zip up hoodie over it. I did take a robe to the hospital, which I wore with the hospital gown.

My incision is super low, just above my hairline - so pretty much everything I own easily comes up over it. I did have trouble wearing jeans for the first week or two - even my maternity ones. So I just wore sweats or my comfy maternity pants.

I used what the hospital gave me. If you get in good with the nurses they should give you extras. Also for PJ's, I wore a moo moo night gown.

I got boy shorts from the gap in one size larger. They were meshy material and were super comfy. I got a comfy robe to wear over my nursing gown for. Old navy maternity.

Initially I wore the mesh panties and hospital gown. I brought a nursing gown and robe to change into at the hospital. When I got home I wore granny panties two sizes larger so they hit at my belly button and really loose pj pants and nursing tanks. I lived in those nirsing tanks!

I used the mesh undies they give you for the first couple of days, but as soon as I showered I wanted to wear real people underwear. I had some low rise, loose fitting cotton underwear that worked just fine, especially as the swelling and baby weight started to go away.

For pajama pants I just had like XXL dude pants, but I think maternity pjs might've been better because they rest below the belly.
