i got a really cheap pair of pjs - i wanted something with a button up front for night feeds & also something i didn't care if they got blood on them. during the day i wore trakkies & a hoodie.
And I forgot lots of black knickers in a bigger size to house the huge maternity pads! :rofl:
:rofl: oh yea nanna nickers are the best! Still wear those too. Lol:
PMSL, me too!!!:
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 :D
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 :D
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 just wore my tracksuit pants and had some flowy breastfeeding tops. i did have a nightie too for bedtime, but that's because DH bought me one as a special gift.
oh and i had a dressing gown brought in as DD was in SCN for a few days and the middle of the night feeds i didnt want to bother putting on clothes but didnt want to wander the halls in just my nightie lol.
Thanks for all your replies ladies, I didn't mention that it will be warm here when bubs arrives hence why I wont be wearing the pj's when I get home to get my moneys worth out of them. But it's pretty cold in the maternity ward at the hospital so I will be needing long sleeve tops and long pants but it seems that trackies and my robe will be totally ok. The big black knickers are actually one of the few things on my list that I still need to purchase but I wont be going to hospital without them ;)
Yep, I was a trackies girl too. I also had a few tops that made the boobies easily accessible....little did I realise that feeding with a top ON was a skill I would need to learn :D. Very soft and loose trackies because anything else was rubbing in the nether regions, which wasnt nice after a tear.
Nightie at night again for the above reason.
i had pj's last time to labour in this time im going to buy a hops gown.Theres a web site that sells personalised one with a BUTT lol so no butt hanging out wooo
I wore thin trackies and tshirts with mine. I can say that Selangor may feel cold when walking around viewing the rooms and stuff, but my rooms that I was in for both DS and DD1 were really warm, and sitting in bed in light trackies and tshirt (short sleeve) was enough. I slept in pj bottoms and a singlet top and was fine with just the sheet over me as well.
Oh, and DS was a summer baby and DD1 was a winter baby - wore the same clothes for both.
just wore baggy cotton harem pants or black trackies with a breastfeeding singlet and cardy over the top...comfort i say!!!
I bought some black jammies from target that had loose pants in a stretch cotton and a cardi style top that tied in the front in the same fabric. It also came with a singlet but I wore a bf singlet. It looked nice, was comfy and didn't show any stains ;)
I wore my black yoga pants and singlets with DD and with DS the same with a cardi on top. The first few days with DS I actually just wore a cardi on top rather than with a singlet so all I had to do was pull out my booby to feed him, lol! At night I wore button up pj's but I do wear pj's at home anyway. I would reccommend things that are easy to bf in if you plan to bf or express at all.
Thanks for the link hon, I tried to reply but your inbox is full ;) they look like lovey gowns! but pretty x'y on the $ front :( I don't think I can justify getting one when I don't even want to spend another $20 on some cheap PJ's that I wont wear again lol Thanks again :):
Yes I've thought about being able to easily access my (.)(.)'s for BF'ing maybe I will need to go shopping after all!
oh and thought to add a comfy mat bra. i found when my milk came in i really needed that bra to help with the ouchie engorgment. i had to send DH out to get a whole cup size bigger just for that week and a bit until it all settled down. but i guess this can be done at the time...if your dh doesnt mind a bit of bra shopping on his own lol!
oh and slippers! i brought my uggies lol! ala yummy mummy hahaha!
