I had been in and out of the shower so much during labour that I ended up giving birth with a towel wrapped around me!

After the birth I wore tracky daks and baggy t-shirts. I found that if I got up, showered and dressed in "normal" clothes that it made me feel more human! (Although this was a REAL challenge considering I had a brand new baby and no idea what to do with it!)

A GF of mine who gave birth at the same time, same hospital as me stayed in PJ's and nighties for a few days and she swears that the midwives treated her like an invalid "patient" rather than a new Mother because of her dress, so quickly orgnaised her DH to get her 'normal' clothes, and she swears it made it difference to the way the midwives treated her!
