What did you wear while in labour??

[Feijoa Mum]

I was talking to a friend yesterday and she asked me what I was going to wear when I went into labour.
Whatever I happened to have on at the time or get changed into I would think.

I have always just laboured in my own clothes which usually was a long tee shirt and bare bum. I did try water for my first baby so was in the bath in my bra but soon hopped out and put my tee shirt back on.

Do you have a "labour outfit"?

[aussienic]

For my one and only labour (rest were c/s) I just wore a hospital gown when I was taken to the labour ward

[Ella]

Yep I wore my own clothes for a while but then submitted to the gown as it was so loose and nice fitting and didn't get in the way of "inspecctions" lol

I had a hospital gown - easy for access and when I was hooked up to machines etc.

[blackduckies]

My own oversize T-shirt nightie... then when things got intense nothing and did'nt care less either i might add???

[Inanna]

I was naked - except for my c/section which of course I was in a glam gown with a clown hat!
I can't stand clothes when I am labouring - I strip off as soon as it gets serious!

[Liviam]

I laboured in winter both times so I wore trackies and a t-shirt until I got in the shower than I was naked for the rest and I'm such a prude so DH found this really funny.

I bought one of those cheap ugly old lady cotton stretchy nighties for DD's birth and then DH forgot to wash it so I ended up either naked when in shower and in hospital gown which was felt a bit strangulatory when hoiked it up to put bub on chest. (Now I wear the hideously ugly nightie most nights since didn't end up getting covered in gunk serves DH right - I might wear it this time tho) PS - I hated not wearing a bra, feel like my boobs are in the way. But they wanted the naked chest to put bub on so ?

Fistly just notice you're having a girl! Congrats!!!

Secondly and more on topic
With Annabelle I ended up giving birth to her in my (at the time) fave yellow bra haha. In my bellybelly albums her 1st pic you can see the bra
With Lucy the birth was so quick I only had time to get my pants off and still had my long sleeve black top on. So when she was born I had to quickly whip it off so they could put her on my chest

I have never and prob will never put much thought into what Ill wear while giving birth. It happen all of a suddern I really wouldn't have time to get changed haha

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!

[fionas]

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.

OMG Fiona that's hilarious , ... i love stories like that
