What did you wear during your hospital stay after having your baby?
Did you wear comfy normal clothes or pjs?
Is there anything you would recommend?

Comfy pj bottoms and singlet tops
Anything you don't mind getting blood on (bottoms that is). Something with easy boob access up top.
No one will judge you for staying in your pjs if you want, or if getting 'dressed' makes you feel a bit more human just pack some loose comfy stuff. Honestly, when the time comes you probably won't care tho lol
I wore a nursing top and leggings or pj pants. I didn't bother getting dressed until I was leaving for home
Leggings and a top during the day.
Pj bottoms and breastfeeding singlets. Black undies and dark coloured bottoms
Track suits, leggings and breastfeeding tops was all I wore. First few days you will likely bleed on your clothes so I wouldn't take anything you care too much about. Just choose comfy clothes and things you can breastfeed easily in (if that is what you are choosing to do).
Kmart have like $4 black pj pants that are comfortable. I just brought a bunch of those and nursing singlets with a warm zip up jumper or cardi if it was cold.
PJ bottoms and a singlet. You hardly leave the room and the midwives do not judge :) by day 4 I was in leggings and a tee, anything super comfy though!
Black tights/legging/track pants and a comfortable top with easy boob access.
Something that you don't care gets covered in blood. (Trust me, the pants will get saturated the first day, even when using pads).
Just anything you feel comfortable in.
Feeding tanks, maternity leggings and a cardy with no 2 and slide on shoes. Bubs was in NICU and on a different floor so was walking around a lot. Also was after a c-section so the higher waist leggings have support (plus you still look 5 months preggers either way).
I must have been lucky. I left hospital smaller than I was before I was pregnant. (Plus size).
Even got asked who I was visiting on the maternity ward because I didn't look like I'd just given birth. 😂😂
