Clothes to Pack for Possible C-Section

Hi, I'm trying to put together my hospital bag, and I know a C-section is very possible since I have twins. I know some people just stay in a hospital gown, but if I do decide to wear clothes during my stay, what's best to wear? Should I pick up a nursing tank or a nursing nightgown? Are loose pants even comfortable to wear with a C-section? I'll just wear a cotton dress going home since it'll be warm. Thanks!

Big. Giant. Underwear

Seriously, pack granny panties at least one size up from your usual.

I wore very loose-fitting lounge pants and felt much more comfortable than I would have in a nightgown. I am not a nightgown person. Then I got some nursing tanks and a short bathrobe to put over them.

Thanks! For lounge pants, do I need to buy maternity size or just regular size pajama pants?

I was in the hospital gown for 1st day. Then I was in pj pants and nursing tanks with a black robe but a short robe. Target has some nice robes and comfy pj bottoms. I do have a nursing gown for this time but Idk if I'm going to use it....I was comfy in what I wore last time.
I was comfy in pants, also get grandma panties bc they don't bother the incision.

I would get pajama pants that hike up high and are very loose around the waist. My incision is low, but your belly stays big after delivery and you're quite numb so you want comfy pants.
