Pj's or Nighties for hospital bag?

[chella]

Right im starting to sort hospital bag out and wondering if to pack pjs or nighties or both ??? Ill be wearing a nightie obvs for birth but im hoping to breast feed so wondering if any of you girls have got any good buys ??

 

[anna matronic]

I have both, but I plan to give birth in a hospital gown to be honest. Then I have a very attractive nightie with buttons down the front (might get another one) and a few pairs of PJ's, although everyone tells me I won't wear the PJ's.

I'm going to take both but can't see me wearing nighties at all after the birth tbh, I'd feel really uncomfortable.

I have both, I'm very comfy wearing polo shirts and it is light so expect I will just wear that with no bottoms and chuck on my pj bottoms or dressing gown if I want to go for a walk.

But I do have a nursing nightie in case for some reason I feel better wearing that.

 

[chella]

Yeah i was goin to take in both, where did you get your buttoned up nightie ?? xx

 

[stephmum2be]

Im taking both, they are doing some buttoned up nighties in matalan atm

 

[anna matronic]

I got mine in matalan too! Was a bout a fiver. I can pick you one or two up if you don't find any hun x x

My friend said she didnt wear her PJs as she ached too much after the birth to get the trousers up. I got my nighties for 3.50 each from Primark, they have buttons for breastfeeding x

I just took nighties with me... but tbh I put my own clothes on as soon as I could. I got up had breakfast and got dressed. I had no intention of hanging around lol

Ive bought myself some cheapie pj's from Asda for this time. Our hospital actually provide everything - nighties, dressing gowns, slippers etc the only we actually need is toiletries, nursing bras and going home clothes.

Last time I took my own dressing gown and slippers. I used their nighties but I was horribly uncomfortable and we were stuck there for a week. This time Im packing everything for myself. Ill use their nightie for birth and then Ill have my own comfy clothes. Ive packed trackie bottoms and t-shirts so I can dress during the day too.

I have two nighties with buttons down the front from primark for £3.50 each and some maternity PJ s from matalan for £12. I have had to buy another pair of Matalan PJs to pack as I have found them so comfy I am living in them

 

[anna matronic]

I didn't see any maternity stuff in our matalan

I got some great blue PJ's though with a band that goes over the bump though, but the top is way too small

I'm packing PJ bottoms which can be pulled up to the middle of the bump in case of c-section and lots of huge mens t-shirts which I'll just be able to lift up for feeding. Will cover the jelly belly with the sheet and/or feeding cover I have bought for privacy.

I say take whatever you think you'll be most comfortable in. If you do take PJ's you can always remove the bottoms when in bed anyway which is what I would imagine myself doing.

I only took nighties with me. They are a lot more practical esp if you are unfortunate to have an episiotomy. The botton down the front ones are also good if you are BF.
Best to get dark colours because you will be losing lots of blood too.
