Hospital Bag

I am curious on how many outfits for myself I need to pack? I have one sweat outfit that has a zip jacket, so I can wear a breastfeeding tank underneath! Just kinda curious how many outfits everyone else is packing!

I packed a nightgown that zips (for breastfeeding), several pairs of socks with the anti-slip stuff on the bottom, and a going home outfit (maternity stuff). If you think it's likely you'll have a c section, a dress would be your vest option for going home outfit as it won't press on your stitches.

Remember you will still have a belly after baby is born (remember the princess belly? I didn't believe it and when I tried to wear my normal clothes after, they didn't fit.) I stayed at the hospital for 3 days after c-section. This pregnancy I'm going to pack for 2 outfits a day (maternity) and a nice maternity outfit to go home in.
