I want some new pyjamas to take to the hospital with me for after the birth, but I cant seem to find any that either aren't light colours or aren't ridiculously priced. Anyone seen any?? xx

Have u tried matalan i got black ones from there a while ago. If not tesco, asda, peacocks, primark?

I got some good ones from asda they were only a fiver for a pack of 2 xx

Yeah tried Matalan at the weekend, didn't really want to gte Primark ones because as soon as you lie down in them they stretch, which is fine when im at home, but gotta look my best in hospital. (lmao!!)

I like the look of those Peacocks ones though. xx

i had asda ones i think just for the night at hospital (black 3/4 length quite baggy) and then primark ones for at home, i ended up throwing so many out it wasn't worth paying anything for them - a good few dark towels are a good plan too, and remember you will still have a bump for a while

bhs i'm sure have a black and white set, i've been looking for something to give birth in and struggling, i dont want long sleeves, because the hosptial is sooooo warm, good luck with your search hun,

i cant believe i'm preparing for birth already

We have chocolate brown towels in our bathroom anyways, so will be taking a big one with me.

Ive got a cheap nightie from Primark to give birth in Clare and have also got some nighties for when im back at home with buttons down the front, so perfect for BF'ing.

Oh my goodness ladies, im actually going to be giving birth at sometime in the next maximum of 8 weeks........jesus!!

i got some really lovely spotty ones from primark, navy blue 3/4 leg in cotton so they dont strecth they were only about £6

look good and washed well too

jesus!!

haha ohhh and don't forget strappy vests if you are bfing....a strappy vest pulled down and a cardi/dressing gown/comfy shirt over the top = maximum comfort

Haha! Had my last antenatal class last night and when we left I said to Matt ''well this is it now.....eeeek!!'' still not sure im going to cope with labour xx

i got mine from m&s i got a pj set and dressing gown for £15 xx

not sure im going to cope with labour

of course you will! because a) you will be soooooooooooooooooooooooo sick of being pregnant, and b) you don't really have any choice now

I got some blokes jammie bottoms from tescos and some old tshirts. Uber comfy

take 3 or 4 sets with you hun. I sweated terrible and obv got blood splats and leaked on them a few times xx

tesco,matalan and peacocks i found do good range of pjs xx

I wish someone had told me when I was going into hospital that pj's were acceptable/comfy! My mum had it in my head that everyone wore nighties as you could labor in them & then after if you had c-sec/catather/dr needed to check stitches etc it would be easier. I ended up buying 5-6 revolting flowery button front tent like (can you tell I didnt like them!) nighties from Matalan. I remember wishing Id nice pj's when seeing all the other mummys at meal times. Suppose it didnt matter too much as I had my dressing gown. To be fair they were also handy for BF after and I didnt care to much that they got wrecked.

Prob wouldnt be a bad idea to have couple of nighties in but def treat yourself to nice pj's!

LMAO! I gave birth in my pirate stripped donald duck pj's! Said on the front - Don't make me angry!

i gave birth in a mat top because was on mins once they broke my waters (ive kept it since for sentimental value lol )
in hospital i had some pjs frm asda cotton 3/4 pants and a button through top (incase i changed my mind about bf) bought for the size i was just before i gave birth and they were v comfy x

Lol snoops!

I bought some mega expensive jarmies from john rocha at debenhams but they were shittiest jarmies I ever bought and didn't wash and weren't very flAttering.

For me you can't beat Peacocks, they look nice and wash well.

Oh and the nighty front, I knew I was having a section so bought a 2 pack of little short nighties from asda, they're really nice and I wear them as jarmie tops now.

hahahahaha i gave birth in the dress i arrived in quite comfy really but it was nice to have some jammies afterwards, didn't feel so...um....exposed

I gave birth in a disgusting nightie then just got dressed later on

Don't spend too much on nice PJ's, there's a very good chance they'll get bloodstained, no-one is going to take a blind bit of notice of what you've got on, I see women on postnatal wards every day and wouldn't have a blinking clue what they're wearing.
