What is everyone planning to wear when they leave hospital after giving birth?

OP posts:
Are your children’s vaccines up to date?

with DS - maternity joggers and DH's t-shirt

with DD i left in my pyjamas (left hospital 2.5hrs after giving birth and didn't see the point in getting dressed to go home)

same as mumblecrumble.... big pants and comfy trousers are the way forward!!!

I'll second the flip flops for the shower... they were quite minging now that I think of it, but after a emergency c section, I thought the shower I had on the ward the next morning was the best thing in the world. Looking back, I can understand why I got an infection in my wound

Sorry for hijack but this is the only thread I can get hold of - much blank page everywhere else, is it just that I've been banned or something, or is anyone else having a problem? Thanks...

Looking at OP btw, I think I wore a pair of gingery brown cords, and a dark red jumper.

That was ds1 and I was back to pre preg weight immediately (can you have self envy)

ds2 it took me a while longer but had him at home so was just naked for a while then put on a nightie!

I hate the way your stomach stays all strange and wobbly after you've had a baby. I think if I have any more it might stay like that permanently. Took a month or two to flatten out again last time.

Mine is broken too, rubbish

BudaBones · 01/11/2009 08:08

This is the only thread I can get too. Very weird.

And I have been up for hoooourrs! No fun without MN.

Does Tech think he is working for the Royal Mail or has he gone out in sympathy or something?

BudaBones · 01/11/2009 08:14

LOL at Flight thinking she was banned! Actually we could have had great fun pretending MN was fine for us! (Sorry Flight - I wouldn't really!)

DottyDotsOfBloodOnTheFloor · 01/11/2009 08:21

me too - reporting in to the only thread I can get in to (apologies for not adding to the actual thread - can't remember what I wore when I left hospital!)

Babieseverywhere · 01/11/2009 08:22

Maybe Tech is very interested in what we all wore post birth

Broken Mumsnet is no fun

monkeysmama · 01/11/2009 08:22

I wondered the same thing Flight & was trying to think what I'd done to be kicked off.

While I'm here - I took my leaving hospital gear very seriously and had 2 outfits with me so I could see how I felt. One thing I will not do next time is let mil take my photo on her camera 2 hours post labour and then send it to all her friends and family before realising that my boob is hanging out of my pj top.

unfitmother · 01/11/2009 08:22

grrr - this is annoying!

Babieseverywhere · 01/11/2009 08:23

Maybe it a reverse of Narniagate and we only have one thread to bitch on, from now on

DottyDotsOfBloodOnTheFloor · 01/11/2009 08:24

like back to basics Mumsnet!

I think I've pressed on every button now - definitely nothing working except this thread - freaky leaky...

Sure MN Towers will notice soon?!

DottyDotsOfBloodOnTheFloor · 01/11/2009 08:31

Hmm - well I've e-mailed Mumsnet although hopefully they know by now. Maybe it's just us in this alternative MN world and everyone else is happily MNing away...

FritesMenthe · 01/11/2009 08:37

Ooh, I've found you all. Wierd!
Have no idea what i wore home from hospital though, so can't contribute anything meaningful to the thread.

DottyDotsOfBloodOnTheFloor · 01/11/2009 08:38

Hello!

Maybe it's a MN secret test - to find out which of us have no lives are the most persistent in getting access...!

FritesMenthe · 01/11/2009 08:42

Do you think there are other threads that other people can get on, with the same convo? We're all in little scret cells...

RascalMama · 01/11/2009 08:49

hello I too am in the 'alternative MN world'

Might as well add my post birth outfit now I'm here I think i came home in leggings, flats and baggy but nice semi-maternity top.

If you have a c section i'd def recommend a pillow to put between you and the seatbelt. You will feel every stone that the car drives over

DottyDotsOfBloodOnTheFloor · 01/11/2009 08:52

ooooh - I think there are more people out there on another thread! When I pressed refresh I saw a thread title saying something like "Help has MN Broken?" but then it disappeared before I could click on it...

It's like Lost (even though I've never seen it - this is how I imagine it to be! )

Babieseverywhere · 01/11/2009 08:53

I can get to this thread too www.mumsnet.com/Talk/pregnancy/853081-HELP-is-MN-broken-Sorry-for-weird-topic-choice

DottyDotsOfBloodOnTheFloor · 01/11/2009 08:56

Yes - just managed to click on it in time when it flashed up on the right hand side - but the link is much better!

Come on MN Towers - someone must be up by now?!
