I was naked ... didn't bother me at that stage - they'd already checked out all my girlie bits a few times, and figured they'd probably be seeing me poo and breastfeeding and everything else - me and every other woman on the ward - and by that stage, I. Just. Didn't. Care.

we were told however that any dudes around would need trunks if jumping in the shower or bath with me - and so we'd brought those along.

That being said, I'd brought a couple of short nighties with a view that I'd wear them - just never got around to it. My waters broke when I was dressed, and I just went in the hospital in gym pants and a singlet top, and I never got changed into my birthing gear... after the shower each time, I towelled off and popped on a gown. Never thought I'd wear them (they're stiff, ungainly and not mine) but I just didn't give a fat flying rat's hairy left testicle by that stage
