In the birthing room I started off in my street clothes, quickly into my nightie, then ended up with nothing on! I couldn't stand having anything on, even a hosp gown. I just felt so hot and uncomfortable with any clothing on.
No idea what I was wearing on the way to hospital (probably trackies & a shirt or something) but during full on labour I labour in the shower, so I wear nothing. Can't think of anything worse than labouring with clothes on!
Now look, my friends often laugh at me for being overdressed on occasions. I have worn high heeled (chunky, not stilleto, I'm not that impractical) boots on a camping trip! And insisted on having my lippie on before leaving the tent.
So don't be surprised when I say I wore an Elle Macpherson black jersey nightie.
And also don't be surprised when I say I've also worn it to a Mothers Group dinner (it just looks like a black dress) and announced, "hey this is what I wore in labour." Waiter gave me a funny look.
