This is a really great question. Although I haven't been there before - I was thinking a tshirt style nightie with buttons down the front for easy breastfeeding etc. But I think I am also keen for skin to skin contact - I guess you could leave it on till towards the end?? mmmm I'm not sure - I'll be keeping an eye on this thread!
I got a beautiful flowing dress (cheesecloth type with the hankichief bottom from Tree of Life (i actually wore it throught my pg and it was bought for that purpose not labour)
To begin with i was in some stretch pants and a t/shirt and then i changed into the dress, which gave everyone 'easy access' but me my dignity.
I planned to get in the water, but didnt end up doing it, but took some bather bottoms and a crop top that would be able to come off easily when the time came.
things didnt go to plan and i ended up with a emerg c/s but i wore the dress whilst in active labour for hours and i am glad that i had it as it was so comfy.
um i was in.. a skirt and top i think but that wasnt my choice, i wasnt expecting to go into labour when i did! lol. first hour of labour i was naked, dont really remmeber how i got naked but i did. I think the midwife undressed me coz it made life alot easier. At the time i didnt care what they did as long as they didnt touch me too much! lol i was given a gown to put on but i was like...pffft to that! i put it on after she was born so the family didnt see me nakey.. lol.. theres that word again!
