What did you wear during your birthing time?
Pretty Pushers gown - I Dream of Sushi. Both times. LOVED. (The nurses in the hospital liked it too!) It was really important to me that my armpits be free (in times of stress, it's what makes me happy) and all that extra fabric on the hospital gowns made me nervous. From their website:
• 100% Cotton
• Tie-neck halter for immediate skin-to-skin access
• Frontal opening to allow for fetal monitors
• Low-cut back to allow for epidural access if necessary
• Adjustable tie closures
• Machine wash and dry
Here's what some other people said...
"At home, just a t shirt, then in the car, a t shirt and underwear, then at the hospital - nothing!"
"Comfy clothes while at home, naked in the whirlpool, then a hospital gown after that. Had absolutely no concern about what I was wearing in the hospital!"
"Just a tank top. Underwear and a bath robe when I was cold during early birthing."
"I was home for about 6 hours or so, so I wore regular clothes but I don't remember what. Once I got to the hospital I wore a bikini top & no bottoms bc I was having a water birth."
"Hospital gown."
"Loose maternity pants and a sweat shirt"
"Nothing mostly, I spent most my time sitting on the birth ball in the shower. I put the gown on when I had to be out to be monitored and push."
"I wore a super comfy jersey knit maternity dress the entire time. It was my most comfortable piece of clothing and felt like almost nothing on my body. When I got to the hospital, I requested to leave it on, rather than wear a hospital gown and I'm so glad I did. I will be wearing it again next time for sure."
"For laboring at home, I wore a skirt, bandini bra, and tank top. At the hospital, I wore the bandini bra and hospital gown."
"A water-friendly sports bra."
