I'm with Lucy - for me it was really important during the day to wear clothes.
I also got up and had a shower, and put a little makeup on.. I viewed myself as somebody who had a baby, not somebody who was sick and was in hospital. There is no need to wear pjs all day long, and for most of the day i was out of bed (i think once i fell asleep for a day nap on top of the covers, but that was the only nap i took.. which was silly looking back), having visitors or organising stuff etc. Also you have lots of people come into your room, nurses, drs, meal delieveries, visitors, and other health people, and i didn't want ppl to see me in my pjs.
For nights i had breastfeeding nighties which were great (i also wore one during labour).. They were more like long tshirts, and i had long sleeved ones, with no buttons (lift up section instead), so not nana at all. I wore normal pjs bottoms (i had a vaginal delivery though), never leaked, but they were pretty old so i didn't care if i had to throw them out.
I did buy some of those nana knickers though (in black), for the week I was in hospital.. They were really good, i felt better for being all held in (and i ended up wearing them for a few weeks after birth until my muscles around my tummy felt more back to normal).
