    Big nanna cotton tail undies (to accomodate massive hospital maternity pads- her's a tip, take your own), feeding bra and breast pads (I found I was leaking a bit, colostrum is sticky and I stuck to my bra and clothes without them- ouch), trackies and a button down short sleeve cotton pj tp (I preferred to be able to just unbutton what I had to, I was a bit shy about b/f'ing the first time round).

    As I dont own pj at all, I wore leggins that I used to laz around the house while preg when up and about and when actually sleeping, tshirt and sleeping mat bra, so much more comfortable than normal mat bra to sleep in. Durring the day I actualy got dressed. Felt alot better to do so.

    Thanks everyone! I'm due today and went to Target to buy my big black undies - I hadn't thought about that one! Weird I know to go shopping today, but bub hasn't dropped yet, so I think I'm in for a bit more of a wait - enough time to put those new undies in the wash and review what I have packed in my hospital bag. If I don't keep busy I will go nuts simply waiting!

    Generally speaking, did you first-time mums prefer button up tops you could undo or just a tshirt that you could lift up for breastfeeding (during the day)?

    I have an appointment with the ob tomorrow, so we'll just have to wait and see what my bub and my body are doing, because as far as I am concerned, nothing has changed...
