I'm little and the hospital gown was huge on, and this very uncomfortable, on me. I felt like I was wearing a sheet!

The nurse got me up and into the shower late at night after my c. She made me change gowns and even got my toothbrush for me. I felt so much better. I showered the next two mornings too. You definitely want to shower because you sweat, puke, get goo all over.

That sucks. I showered a couple hours afterwards, and each of the two mornings.
Me too. I had a long labor but I was up and about and showered and didn't bleed much after so I was in my own yoga pants and showered a couple times at the hospital. I though about depends but didn't need them in the end. Getting up to pee and use the sitz bath often enough that I just changed the pads.
I had a csection and showered tge morning after a gave birth and then each day thereafter. However, I didn't have any pp bleeding at all. I was anemic and had a blood transfusion before being discharged, so that may have contributed to my lack of bleeding.

Wear the hospital gown. No need to wear special outfits, you just gave birth. Geez.
