im definitely wearing a sports bra, probably a nursing one. I dont care what they say. I cant stand the feeling of my boobs touching my stomach(im a DD now) and I need to do whats most comfortable for me during labor. If theres an emergency, they can cut it off.

In texas they dont allow you too at the hospital incase of any emergencys and also if u get a epideral they dont want it on at all. Just a open gown in the back.

I didnt wear one...actually i wasnt allowed. My blood pressure was stroke level and i was told to completely undress and just leave on my hospital gown on the chance an emergency arose. But i never even thought of that! Lol im sure most women don't wear them because its a comfortablility issue! But honestly i was too exhausted to care about whether everyone was seeing my boobies or the fact my mil and mom had full view of my daughter coming out.

I was even too exhausted to care that i had pooped while pushing!

I wore a sports bra with my first and just a normal bra with my second but ended up taking it off that last time because I got in the tub and it got wet. I brought extras but by the time I could put a new one on I had her and had one whipped out to feed her anyway! lol

When I had my first I had wore mine through labor so I wouldn't see why not. A sports bra would definitely be a lot more comfortable, but if your going to breastfeed it be easier to wear one you can just take on and off to make it easier on you when you do try feed for the first time.w

I think they usually have u in a hospital goes, but I can't see y u can't wear a bra. I think a lot of the time you get really over heated so naked is Korea comfortable and really once they have seen "down there" I don't think ur doctors or midwives are foo worried about seeing your boobs.
