So those who read WIT's blog

[MrsCampbellBlack]

Now I love her blog and think she seems lovely. But I am such a meanie as follow her on twitter and am just smiling to myself at her hunt for a coming home dress - I'm assuming from hospital post-birth.

She has just linked to a cream silk dress.

So is the coming home dress from hospital a new thing? God knows I love an oppertunity to shop but that really never occurred to me.

I have no idea what I came home from hospital in! Probably some fetching maternity leggings and a massive shirt. Hope she doesn't leak onto her cream silk dress!

[RemusLupinsBiggestGroupie]

Cream silk and a new baby eh? Hollow laughter.

I think I came home in a pair of tights and a big jumper with dd1!

[MrsCampbellBlack]

Well me too Dexter.

Perhaps its the well known distraction thing - worry about a frock rather than actually giving birth which is quite sensible.

[hellsbelles]

bless her. Didn't she have some special underwear that could only be worn once she was a 'wife'? I suspect she won't find the breast feeding bra's quite as exciting.

[MrsCampbellBlack]

Oh God yes I'd forgotten that. She probably will wear cream silk and have a ravishing easy baby who never vomits all over her clothes.

[bigkidsdidit]

I thought that was hilarious

I was still massive till about a month post birth and bled for five weeks and the sweats and the milk stains...

She does like an occasion though doesn't she, I suppose it's admirable :)

[swooosh]

I came home in my pyjamas. They were very ncie though.

Would love to see blog.Please do link!

She will have a perfect baby won't she MrsCB! I can't imagine her having a sicky baby that screams if you even consider putting it down (like I had) and it will probably sleep through from about a week old (not 3.5 years old in my dd's case!). I didn't wear much cream silk as I had to change my top about 5 times a day...

[MrsCampbellBlack]

Oh so did I with DS1 - we both constantly smelt of sick until he was about 9 months. Stylish times.

[AmberNectarine]

Oh dear, she's in for nasty shock isn't she?

I bet she's going to have a waterbirth, with no drugs, and a playlist of her choosing in the background. Probably wearing Eres.

I must say I did feel a little smug when she resorted to IO after her big talk in the early days about how she wasn't going to need maternity clothes...

[bigkidsdidit]

She said she wasn't going to need maternity clothes? What was her plan??

I bet she has a wonderful baby who never voms or wees on her and is really smug about it

[TheHouseofMirth]

I had a water birth and no drugs in a midwife-led unit that looked like a boutique hotel but it didn't stop both of my utterly beautiful children vomitting (and pooing) over me whenever they felt like it.

[fedupofnamechanging]

I had visions of looking like the Mamas & Papas model, post birth. I don't know why, because if I didn't look like her, pre conception, I was even less likely to, having just had a baby!

Am unfamiliar with this blogger, but just had a look at the link. I like Jools Oliver, but doesn't that stuff for Mothercare, look like all the other stuff that's in Mothercare?

[MissBeehivingUnderTheMistletoe]

Cream silk At least it's the same colour as baby vom but I'm thinking of enormous maternity pads, waist high knickers and leakage

[alwaysrunninginheels]

Ah well all I can say is she's in for a shock.............Love her optimism!!!!

[MrsCampbellBlack]

MissBee - it was the post-partum bleeding I was thinking of - goes pale at thought of wearing cream silk.

But bless her - she's realised white/cream not such a good idea after all.

[stifflegs]

She also linked to a baby perfume on a baby post, not sure I'd want to douse my newborn with that.

[bigkidsdidit]

And silk! I had postnatal sweating for about six weeks and I had to change my clothes three times a day. Dry clean only woul have een hilarious!

[RemusLupinsBiggestGroupie]

Yes, I remember being v when I read about the baby perfume - ridiculous. And the Jools Oliver stuff just looks v dull to me.

[MissBeehivingUnderTheMistletoe]

My "going home" outfits were black maternity leggings and a black maternity top and with DS a maxi dress. I was horrified that I couldn't fit back into my jeans straightaway. I know better now

[suburban]

Oh dear, the first thing I put in my hospital bag was my coming home outfit . I also took in scented bath oil, full make up and Grazia, but only one sleepsuit which DD soiled immediately, the midwives weren't impressed.

[MrsCampbellBlack]

I was all about baby's coming home outfit but as I was the size of an oompa loompa - well it didn't really matter what I wore.

[MrsHelsBels74]

Cream silk, really? I don't even remember what I came home in, was probably pyjamas!

This time I'm hoping for a home water birth, but daresay it won't be serene & I will be swearing like a trooper through most of it as I was first time round.
