Going home outfit for mum

[KHall84]

Although this is my 2nd pregnancy I cant seem to know what to pack for me to come home in, I want something that will accommodate me if worse case I have a csection I want to look a little bit like me so no jogging or gym pants am due 20th April so really not sure what to pack and do I still pack something maternity or do they do post maternity clothing ? I really can't remember all help appreciated thanks x

I'm getting a c section on the 6th April I have packed a hoody really baggy and leggings jeans are a no no if you don't like the idea of leggings what about a maxi dress ?

i just wore black leggings and a floaty long top

I couldn't have cared less what I wore coming home, I was just glad to be escaping from hospital. I came home in the clothes I wore to go in, I didn't get home until 7.00pm in the depths of winter, nobody except my parents who drove us home saw me.

Can't remember exactly what I wore but it would of been leggings or jeggings with a hoodie or baggy top. As everyone else said couldn't care less what I looked like going home I just wanted to get home and sleep!

Unless you're posting for photos outside the hospital, a la the royal family, I wouldn't give it a single thought!

I completely understand the brain fart! I packed a going home outfit of a nice maternity dress and flat pumps with maternity tights and a cardigan.
Made me feel like I had something planned even if it was ruined somewhat by being peed on (hair face and dress) just before we left. Oh well!
Good luck with your delivery and I hope you’re home soon. X

Thanks for the replies so far am not going to posing for photos but would like to feel half normal I dont really go out without makeup I dont do full face but a bit of foundation,blusher and mascara I have been like this since teenage years and I guess am kind of like that about my clothes I wear gym clothing to do nursery run but that's it so would like something casual but nice to go home in am not vain or into looks but I feel better when I have these things on do you think maternity dungarees would be ok or do u think they would be to big after birth ?

I wore a black stretch, wide legged jumpsuit with DC2 , I could just pull it down to breastfeed and it didn't press on my c section scar at all! I wore it loads in those first few weeks!

I wore one of my maternity dresses

I still wore my maternity clothes for a good month post birth, your dungarees will fit Just fine! Your stomach takes a little while to shrink back down and you carry quite a lot of water weight post birth as well!

I was discharged from hospital at about 11pm with my first baby I wore my maternity leggings & a hoody.. and then immediately changed into my PJ’s and went to bed!

Try not worry, you’ll be exhausted, sore, bleeding & a bit overwhelmed. I doubt you’ll care all that much .. you’ll just want to get back to home comforts

I think you’re overthinking it really, the paparazzi won’t be outside. Some women leave in their pyjamas and dressing gowns, I don’t really blame them. You’re only going to be seen by people in the hospital and perhaps your neighbours briefly when you exit the car and get to your door (in all likelihood they won’t see you at all!). Just wear leggings and an oversized dress or jumper like most women do.

Im planning on dungarees. Loose, comfy and tend to wear them anyway when on-pregnant!

Maternity dungarees wouldn’t be too big, assuming you are going home anywhere from 6 hours post birth to a few days. It’s takes a long time for everything to shrink back.

Personally I would just wear something that you have wore throughout your pregnancy, certainly no need for anything fancy. Either your vagina and vulva will be sore or if you end up in c section then your tummy will be. Or you could be one of the unlucky ones who end up with everything sore! Comfortable clothing is what you need.

I wore leggings and a long tunic top, a maxi dress and can’t remember with my first as it was so long ago.

Get a really nice sweaty Betty tracksuit ot some hush harems if you want to be comfy . I hate leggings but wear joggers quite a lot !

when are u due? I’m due July and so will go home in a black maxi dress, Havianas and a cardigan incase it’s chilly.

I don’t think I’ll even want leggings tbh. X

Sorry just seen April.
