BDT: O.K nighty recommendations. Well there is not a lot around that you would wear, trust me most are for grannies. I found a couple in Big W and Target that had buttons down the front. I am not a nighty girl, but trust me if you have a c/s then it is expected that you will bring nighty's with you. When you come out from theatre, the midwives will change you out of your hospital gown, give you a bit of a sponge bath and then put your nighty on for you. Because you have a catheter in you need to have easy access to the lower parts, plus they are always checking your wound the first couple of days as well. I also found it much easier to wear a nighty while recovering as once you are mobile you still have trouble bending at the waist and also lifting your legs, so trying to put on PJ bottoms would have taken me forever. I did take some PJ's into hospital as well and only put them on the last night in hossy when I felt that I could move more freely and having the waist band around my belly was tolerable to sleep overnight. One more thing, I also have a clean nighty for each night in hospital it is really needed as you end up getting colostrum/breast milk/baby vomit on you and I found that I was really hot and sweaty all the time. Probably a combination of the heating plus the hormones.
to you all!
