hi

with my first 2 i wore a hospital gown as i didn't want to wreck my own clothes, with lani had no time and as it was night and i was already there (being induced) i had my pj's on.

i strongly recommend for labour that you wear old knickers (so you can throw them away) sometimes if your waters have broken they like you to wear a pad so they can monitor the discharge so things can be really messy. another great tip i got and i swear by is socks - yup old socks again but i tell you for some weird reason you can get really cold feet in labour.

as for in hospital i bought cheap cotton button up dark coloured pj bottoms and top - you need dark for obvious reasons (lol) i watch out you don't get anything to thick as it can be really hot in hospital - and they usually have all the protector things on the bed.

during the day our midwives encouraged us to get up and showered and dressed - (makes you feel normal again) i just wore tracky dacks and light tops that i could just lift to b/feed.

hope it helps - good luck
