 Topic: nighties vs pj’s for hospital
Posted: 22 February 2008 at 3:24pm |
|
I'm starting to think about getting my hospital bag ready and wonder whether it's best to take nighties or pj's with buttons down the front.
Which one did you find better/easier?
Thanks

I went with PJs but that's 'cause I've never owned a nightie.
When are you due?

I also went PJs as I don't own a nightie. Also practical for my 2nd day as I didn't want to get fully dressed, but didn't want to stay in hospital gown, or PJs so wore the pants and a BF top

I would have said PJs as well however I was destined to have a c-section so went for the nightie option. Which was definitely more comfy in that scenario
Also the buttons down the front on the nightie made no convenience for me as I was double expressing/feeding so had to whip off the nightie anyway.

Pj's for me too, it was easier to BF. I'd take lightweight ones, only because the rooms are quite warm..

I just wore the hospital gown because I was lazy and didn't want to bring home blooded pjs.

I bought both a set of pjs (top buttoned down) and a buttoned down nightie and wore both!

I just wore the hospital nighties too. While you couldn't say they're particularly stunning they were comfy esp after having a c-sect. And no washing either

I brought a nightshirt with buttons when I had DD. I wore it in hospital and for bf at home.
I did also take PJ's.
I personally did feel more comfortable in a bra, nightshirt, knickers & pad than I did in bra, PJ's, knickers & pad. But as everyone has said - its a personal thng at the end of the day!

I took my own PJ's, but after seeing the bloody mess I was creating I stuck with the hospital nightie and was glad I did cause they didn't end up in my bag to take home

I took PJs but ended up wearing my 3/4 yoga pants and a b/f singlet. My pants were like lightweight trackies and they were black so I felt comfy in them (IYKWIM) with all the visitors coming and going.

I took both and ended up wearing nighties coz my deflated tum was a different shape to what I expected and the PJ's didn't sit right.
Sheza - even in winter don't take too many warm clothes for you coz they keep the maternity wards ridiculously warm for the babies.

I took PJs and normal clothes for day time (trackies etc). I was in for 8 days so DH would take stuff home and wash it for me....mainly coz I got so hot and sweatiy and milky.
