Firstly, when you have the baby, does your stomach really "deflate" a bit like right after the birth? I don't expect to magically transform back into my pre-pregnancy size, but how much smaller do you get after the birth?
What type of clothes should I pack for myself to wear home? Some athletic pants that are sort of elastic/loose (track pants I guess), or maternity pants, or something else?
Also, my hospital's visiting hours are from 2pm to 8pm. My mother and boyfriend's mother expect to be there waiting for the baby lol, are they allowed to wait around for baby to come if it's like 3am or do they have to go home and come back during visiting hours? I know the visiting hours rule doesn't apply to my boyfriend, as he's the father and he can stay later/come earlier than visiting hours would normally allow.
Finally.. am I allowed to have my cell phone with me? I know you're supposed to turn your cell phone off usually in hospitals, but am I allowed to have it to text people about the arrival?
