Hospital Gowns

[festivette]

Do I have to wear their gowns? They are so stiff, itchy and uncomfortable! I know if I bring my own clothes I'll probably need to get rid of them after birth.

I just wore a sports bra when delivering.  Then i did put on a gown afterwards but think i will bring a nightgown with buttons at the top for nursing this time.

Thanks so much girls!

My hospital let me wear just my nursing bra. Plan to do the same this round

Sorry, I keep thinking of stuff to say. Lol If you get blood on any of your clothes, peroxide gets that out real easily! Try that before throwing anything away.

They're called 'Gownies' incase you have trouble with the link.

I actually bought them for post-delivery because labor can get a bit messy. But if your doctor says it's okay you could wear it for labor too.

I ordered some of these to wear at the hospital. They're hospital approved, you can ask your doctor just incase.
I didn't have these for my first child and regreted it. People told me I wouldn't need them, but bull crap! I needed something more comfortable and more easy to use for nursing.

You need to either wear their gown or a birthing gown so they have access to your belly for monitoring and back for epidural
