What about wearing maternity jeans home from the hospital?

Katie S asked: I was wondering if anyone wore jeans home from the hospital after giving birth? Were you uncomfortable? They will be maternity jeans of course.

I wore my maternity jeans home and they were fine.
My maternity jeans were the most comfortable thing to wear after giving birth both times. I lived in them for awhile.
That sounds fine – my maternity jeans were always comfy.
yea me. but yes they were still maternity jeans. i spent two weeks going back and forth to ITU to see my baby (she was born at 34 weeks) and they gradually got looser lol
There’s no way I could have worn jeans, maternity or otherwise, when I came home from the hospital. My stomach was incredibly tender, and just sitting down really hurt. I wore some black exercise pants, and even THEM rubbing against my stomach hurt…and I had a vaginal birth.
I wore my maternity jeans home afterwards. They were tons more comfortable then regular jeans.
Don’t expect to take prepregnancy clothing and walk out of the hospital wearing it!
I wore my maternity clothes home, and for several weeks thereafter as they were more comfortable (especially after my c-section).
Remeber: it took you 9 months to gain the weight, it just may take 9 months to lose it, too!
Good Luck!
That’s what I plan on doing after I have this baby lol. With my first I just wore like pajama pants, but I didn’t have maternity jeans. I think I’m going to keep wearing my maternity jeans until they are way too big… I plan on doing so major weight loss after this baby, but we’ll see.
That’s what I did last time, didn’t bother me any. If you are having a c-section just make sure they don’t rub your incision.
Or just bring a pair of sweats too just in case.
it’s okay to wear your maternity clothes home. Or sweat pants. You may still look pregnant after you have your baby. You wont want anything to tight. so i think there is nothing wrong with it.
It’s different for everyone. I could tell you that I can’t fit into my maternity jeans the second my daughter came out. I wore sweat pants and a t-shirt home. Warning: just be as comfortable as you can, you never know how your labor is going to go.
They say to pack an outfit that was comfortable at 6 months pregnant to wear home.
So if your jeans were comfy then, then go for it. I personally will always find pajama pants to be the best option, pregnant, postpartum, or otherwise.
I wore a maternity dress, but the jeans will be fine, unless you have a c-section that might not feel great!
Good Luck!
