PJ's. What better excuse to be able to stay in your PJ's all nice & comfy all day while speding time with you new babe!
I took advantage of being able to do it lol
Nana knickers - me three![]()
Soft trackies, bonds hoodies and tops I could easily express in.
I think I had PJ's but can't remember wearing them as as I was up and down all hours of the night taking EBM to NICU/SBCU, which were on the level below, I wanted to be comfy
Oh the best thing a friend gae me were these bonds slippers as well, I lived in them![]()
Normal comfy clothes during the day and PJ's at night.
With DD it was a hospital gown the first night, then PJ pants & long sleeve tops that are easy to BF in for the next 2 days
With DS I wore my nightie once I got dressed after he was born & after I had a shower I got into trackies & a maternity singlet. I was home that night & just wore the maternity singlet & undies to bed
i was big on packing light so the fewer things the better.
lots of black undies, if you prefer under the belly bonds make great maternity ones and you can keep wearing them later.
pj pants and t shirts and singlets.
I never used to wear pjs. but now I have 2 kids and well the more you have to get up at a moments notice the more you start to wear them.
Tracky dacks are great because they feel more supportive than pj's and are usually black or blue in my world so they can hide some sins.
I do recomend having a sleep outfit and a daytime outfit, just so you don't feel yuck, it's also too easy to wallow in bed in hospital, so having to change forces you up, plus you don't feel as frumpy and grose when visitors arive.
most maternity wards are kept at a certain temp for bubs so you will be warm, but they also don't give you many blankets
when you go into labour put something comfy on before you go to the hosi, and if for any reason you need a drip, take any bras, or difficult t shirts off first, they are a bugger to get round a drip.
