What did you wear after giving birth in the hospital or even when you get home. If it is a c-section I don't want to wear something to irritate the area I was cut so not sureeeee what to get. Thank you.

Stretchy leggings and a loose t-shirt might be good for you to wear.

I always brought pajamas and maternity clothes or tights because you look pregnant still for a couple of days until your uterus goes back down.

The first couple of hours I stayed in the hosp gown, but once I was allowed to get up and showered (I had a c-section) I got in knickers and ad and lived in loose pj's for the rest of my stay!

I wore nursing gown, or pjs and a tank top. They made me wear so much padding for the blood. I had a huge netted underwear they give you, a giant pad to put on that, and then an ice pack to put on that lol. If you deliver vagianally you don't get up too much anyways as it kinda hurts down there. C-section I imagine you don't get up much either.

I had a C-section on my son and this is exactly what I did. Pyjamas in hospital and maternity trousers to come home in. I mainly wore maternity trousers for the first few weeks as far as I can remember.

Leggings and a long tshirt with my 3 after delivery comfortable and hold 'big' pants in place well to avoid leakage xx
