Coming home outfit - MOM EDITION

SassetteSmurfling · June 2015

We've all been having fun thinking about what we'll bring baby home in, but what are the moms planning on coming home in?

I'm thinking of pulling a Kate Middleton and going with a sundress lol. No, probably not. But my other 2 were winter babies so it was yoga pants and hoodies for weeks after I have birth. This time I'm not so sure because my typical summer wardrobe is mostly sundresses and maxi skirts, but I feel like I'll want something around my lower half other than granniepanties with a ginormous pad. Blech!

So what are you planning on wearing coming home and once your home and still healing?

Nursing tank and yoga pants??? Sexy!

lvrunningirlie · June 2015

Probably loose workout shorts and a tank/shirt.

I'm worried it's too hot for pants! lol

toccoaparker · June 2015

Stretchy shorts and a t-shirt, it's going to be about 110 here by the time August rolls around !

I will only be outside for what 5min Max before I get into an air-conditioned car and then an air conditioned house. My legs were ridiculously swollen the last 2 times so no way I want visitors staring at my sausages.

This!

mrswiebe09 · June 2015

I have no idea. Prob yoga pants and t shirt? Still have six weeks to plan :-)

laineyjewel · June 2015

Yoga capris and a nursing tank is my go to!

Perfect Sonnet · June 2015

I was also going to do yoga pants/tank. But honestly, I don't think a sundress is that bad of an idea. I have some casual cotton/jersey ones that I wear on the weekends and they are by far more comfortable than yoga pants.

Edit: Re-read your post and remembering the giant diaper. you're right...there should be pants.

PurpleBookmark · June 2015

Sweat pants and a maternity t-shirt, probably flip flops.

Out of curiosity, for the people that have worn yoga pants after baby was it super obvious you had a huge pad on? I have yoga pants but they're pretty fitted and I feel like they would look weird with the pads. At my hospital they were pretty huge.

emmacake08 · June 2015

Probably a cotton/jersey maxi dress with stretchy compression shorts underneath. I'm going to also pack stretchy pants and nursing tops incase that feels like a better choice.

mamaloaf · June 2015

To those opting for anything other than black yoga pants, just beware that you may leak/bleed and that's not going to be attractive. I know you're really just going from room to car, car to house, but still.

Plus a maxi dress is probably much thinner than yoga pants, so you're going to have some seriously mis-shapen, unattractive-ass/panty lines.

gadawgmom · June 2015

Yoga pants are usually pretty tight/ fitted. What type of yoga pants do you suggest wearing? I Have zero clue what I need to buy for this event!!

mamaloaf · June 2015

You'll be wearing something like this. You may even have a small ice pack between your legs too. It's just all a bit "bulky." I'd choose some black pants that are not tight on your waist or butt. Perhaps a relaxed fit vs skinny/straight cut.

jespernoir · June 2015

I'll probably pack two choices: the typical yoga pants and t-shirt, or a cotton dress.

Oh also everyone keep in mind that births don't always go as planned and there is also a chance you'll end up with a c-section (I'm def having a csection, but for everyone else reading this) so you'll want to consider something that won't irritate an incision. I think that's where I'm having trouble deciding what to do because I have pants that could be worn well above my incision, but all of my Capri/shorts would hit right at the incision

Seed0824 · June 2015

Dark colored loose shorts (I think they are linen) and a pink tshirt for team girl.

hcook321 · June 2015

I'm thinking yoga pants/shorts/or leggings depending on how I'm feeling and a short sleeve or sleeveless tunic type of top that's flowy and not clingy.

PixelPosy · June 2015

Going with over-sized PJ pants, nursing bra and a t-shirt. Nothing glamorous. Just loose and comfy. We're going straight home where I'll probably go right to the couch to snuggle with baby.

breezymeema7 · June 2015

Probably something like this. You know...for easy breastfeeding access.

KMBC2552 · June 2015

Yoga pants + nursing tank.

Well you'll only be going from inside a hospital to your car,
That your husband should cool off for
You then into your house.

I wanted to wear a tank but was considering this same thing think I'll bring an oversized tshirt that is long enough to cover my butt.

Lol you crack me up!

@breezymeema7

) Just busted out laughing in line at the grocery store. Got a ton of weird looks ha!

lilhoek · June 2015

I bought 2 dresses from ON yesterday that I think will work for going home. For a first time c-sectioner, I am nervous about wearing pants. The dresses were about $18 and have easy nursing access, so I can wear a nursing tank underneath.

Like other posters, my first 2 kids were born in the winter, so it was PJ pants and hoodie to go home.

victoriaaa1 · June 2015

Spaghetti strap and some black joggers ! Since joggers are really lose and comfortable

chavemann10 · June 2015

These! They are loose, but still have the fold over top so I can comfortably adjust where I want them to sit. Also, they are cool enough for a delivery in Texas in August!! And...you can't go wrong with black!

ETA- I will NOT be wearing the heels this crazy woman has on with them...just my flip flops...Thanks!

ammc07 · June 2015

I have a super comfy sundress. It's not a maternity or nursing dress but it's perfect for it. I didn't pick it so that I could look cute going home, I more picked it because it has easy nursing access and it's comfortable even wearing my 'diaper' under it and it won't sit on my csection incision.

That would be the best day of DH's life regardless of what my body looks like.

SashaDenn25 · June 2015

I have these pants from at least 3 years ago. Black, very loose and comfy and very thin for sweat pants so wont be too hot either...I was for sure wearing these. I love them....theres a now a big hole at a pocket in the back where those lovely mesh panties would show.
Cue plan B...whatever that ends up being! Lol

I was having a little bit of a down day today. No reason, just felt a little blue..hormones I guess. Thanks for posting this, it literally made me LOL not just want to type it. Ha! Kind of got me a little out of the funk I was in.

visualcircus · June 2015

I think I would just wear a flowy v-neck jersey dress. My favorite ones I got at Target off the clearance rack. I've given up on pants and it's going to be hot August for Houston.

Lalala2326 · June 2015

I have to have a c-section so loose pajama pants and an oversized t-shirt is likely it for me. I might consider a nursing tank, but I'm not sure I'm going to want anything tight against me yet at that point. I wore pajama pants and an over-sized t-shirt for like the first 10 days after my first c-section... I'm not planning on leaving the house much anyway till I can drive myself.

kedbach · June 2015

I think I'm going to wear a loose, flowy maxi dress.. That way if I have huge panties on due to pads, ice, etc, it will not be noticeable. Also, August is going to be hot as heck, considering the temps right now!! I want the least amount of fabric tight to my body as possible!!

Ditto

meli1112 · June 2015

I'm having a csection as well. Being in Phoenix in August, I'm thinking I need to wear as little as possible! It's already over 110, and the monsoons haven't even started yet! Ugh!

I'm in Phoenix too (glendale). I honestly forgot about the monsoons and humidity part. Ugh. We had one hell of a year last year so I wonder if this year's going to be anything like that.

holli0801 · June 2015

Yoga pants are tighter fitting than most of my dresses so I was thinking a dress would be more comfy and less noticeable for whatever sexiness is going on down under. So that's the plan for now!

cosplaymom · June 2015

Loose flowy maxi dress is the way to go! I have a black strapless maternity dress that should do the trick.
