    I started off wearing a hospital gown, I actually found it comfy! Once my waters broke the gown came off and I was straight into the shower, so spent the rest of the labour naked, definitely lost all inhibitions and didn't think twice about being naked.

    I started in a t-shirt and undies and then ended up naked as I spent a lot of time in the shower. I was unaware of anyone else being around so it didn't bother me at all. I figured that anyone who worked in the birthing suites had probably seen it all before.

    I started off in a singlet and knickers and ended up in a hospital gown.

    Such a good thread. I dont like being fully naked in front of other people. I am paranoid about all my stretch marks and my legs (I know I shouldnt be but I am) and my boobs are so big that I dont think I want them hanging loose. I wish I wasn't paranoid I think I am going to try and get a long glam nightie that I can just pull up and not wear anything underneath if they have to have access.

    i had a bonds singlet and my undies, except for in the bath where I had nothing.
    i knew before habd I was going to feel resrticted with anything baggy, esp. being it was summer and hot so was always going to be somthing tightish or nothing at all.
