Something frivolous: best hospital dressing code?

Pajamas or nightgown?

I thought to bring comfortable nightgowns for the hospital days - before and after surgery - but then I thought about the stitches: perhaps to control them with more comfort is better to wear a pajamas, so you can raise just the t-shirt to check them ...

what do you think?

:P :)

      Before surgery they will not let you wear your own nightgown. They will provide you with a gown to change in to when they call you back to the pre-op area. After surgery I wore the same gown and used

      I bought cute pj tops and bottoms. One shirt said "This Diva is Downsizing" lol. I did it because I hate feeling "sick" so as soon as I could shower the first night, I was in pj's. It was the same way

    I never even bothered to change out of the hospital gown, but once I got home I preferred comfy pj's over a nightgown.

It was the same way with all three of my c-sections, the only other times I've been in the hospital. I did bottoms making it easy to look at my incisions and the nurses unhooked my iv for my shower so getting on a bra and tshirt were no biggie. Take pj's or a nightie and if you feel like it put them on if not stay in your gown. Noone will mind if you take them and don't wear them. Good luck.

    I was back in my pjs as soon as I was able to move post op it was so much more comfortable and easier and a bit more dignified to wander around too

    I got this super comfy nightgown on Etsy. It has Velcro at the shoulders to work around the IV. I loved it. post-287158-14630012813713_thumb.jpg
