Bathrobe for pregnant women in the hospital

Sooner or later every pregnant woman will have to collect a "suitcase" in the hospital. Among the impressive list of necessary things, there is a kit for the maternity home - a nightdress and a robe. This purchase must be made in advance, because it is not known when to get to the hospital, because different scenarios are possible.

And do I need a bathrobe in the hospital?

Those women who are not used to wearing a robe at home think that it is not necessary to buy it in the maternity hospital for pregnant women, because one can do with one nightdress or trousers with a T-shirt, as in any other department of the hospital.

But after all the maternity ward is a very specific institution and a woman will have to come to inspections on a regular basis, which will be extremely difficult in other clothes. And walking around the compartment in a nightgown is not entirely convenient. That's why you need to buy a bathrobe, and maybe not one.


What kind of gown to take to the hospital?

It is advisable to buy two dressing gowns to replace, so that one can be washed, because it can easily be smeared after childbirth. For those who do not believe that buying a bathrobe is a necessary thing, you can not especially spend money and buy the cheapest gown, which after discharge can be safely thrown out.

Looks very nice kit in the hospital - a robe and a shirt. They are made in the same style and complement each other. But if there is no such possibility, it does not matter. You can buy any vending gown, because the shirts are still almost out of his sight.

The length of the robe is of great importance, which depends on the season and conditions in the maternity home. For example, in the off-season, when heating is not yet included and the maternity hospital does not have an autonomous heating system, a terry long bathrobe will be very handy, in which you can wrap yourself and keep warm.

And, conversely, in the hot time (the height of summer or good heating in winter) in a warm dressing gown will be hot and you need an easy and not too long option, ideally to the knee. A shorter buy is undesirable, so that the shirt does not look out from under it.

Another option that you do not want to take with you to the maternity ward is the negligee. Such clothes are certainly beautiful, but completely inappropriate in this place. The bathrobe should be comfortable, spacious, made of natural fabric, and not synthetic. Dressing gowns on buttons and zippers are less convenient than with odor and on the belt.

Do I need a sterile dressing gown and a shirt in the hospital?

Such a set of sterile shirts, hats, shoe covers and diapers is included in the list of necessary things. But the robe in it is not included, because after the birth of the baby, when he begins to contact with his mother and her clothes, he learns to adapt to the microorganisms surrounding him and there is no need for extra sterility. The kit will only be used during childbirth, and it is disposable.
