    pmsl lulu at your outfit!!

    I just wore what I was confiest in.

    I rocked up to the hosi in tracki dacs a singlet and a jumper. gradually some layers came off and for the majority of the time I labored in a singlet which got scrunched up like a crop top due to monitoring and my undies. My Bra never came off until later, but in retrospect I owuld have taken it off earlier 'cause it was a real pain when trying to get it off at feeding time.

    FYI, if it's chilly you might want socks. But don't get socks you want to keep buy a cheap but comfy pair that you have no probs with throwing in the bin later.

    I did have white socks but I never intended to keep them, they were red by the end

    I wore my favourite oversized comfy cotton t.shirt nightie !!

    ... I intended to go NAKED but so glad I didn't as i had all sorts of midwives just walk in or pop their head around to look & watch (ah, & not like helping out or anything)

    YEP, no privacy anywhere !!

    But I'm so glad I wore at least something as I so cherish THAT t.shirt nightie & I love to just wear it whenever I want to feel close to that moment of giving birth again, it was such an amazing experience

    Also I have intended to keep it as a keepsake for my lil daughter when she is older

    For DS#1 I had a long sleve top on and for DS#2 I got so hot that I stripped down to nothing!

    I smiled when i read your thread as I remember worrying about this as well, it turned out that this was the last thing on my mind at the time I started in some trackies and then the hospital gown, then I ended up naked and climbing the walls and couldn't care who saw me as I was in my own world.
