I wore the gripper socks the hospital provided, but also brought my own socks/slipper socks/and slippers, lol! I wanted to be comfortable. It was always a bit cooler in the hospital during the day - although at night I got the sweats, ugh
And yeah, once it was time to push I totally stripped everything off me because I was sweating buckets.
The next day I switched into my own clothes and wore flip flops for walking around.
Yep. Naked through delivery, then flip flops to walk around. My feet were so swollen from the IV that I couldn't get my feed into slip on shoes for a WEEK afterwards.
Honestly, intellectually I know hospital floors are gross. But in the middle of labor I really, really didn't give a shit.

I had moccasin style slippers and socks during labor. After my c-section, my feet were so swollen the only thing I could wear was flip flops (which I had to send DH home to get...oops).

Socks during delivery. I bought cheap slippers I could throw away to wear around the hospital after. Hospitals are gross and no way was I going to track hospital mung in my house.
I wore these ugg type boot slippers both in & out of bed the whole time, until it was time to push. Then I swapped for the hospitals slipper socks so my slippers wouldn't get ruined. I changed into my own clothes later that day & wore my boot slippers the whole time I was there
