This kinda sounds silly & vain, but I came across some pretty funky hospital gowns online the other day (no idea how!) & I was thinking of getting one. They come in funky colours or patterns, have press-studs all down the back so there's no worry about it coming open & they accomodate breastfeeding. There are a few different sites, but they all seem pretty much the same design. I thought well I have no option but to wear a gown for surgery & immediately afterwards so it might be nice to have something of my own that's more comfortable.

So I'm wondering has anyone bought one before? Are they ok to use at the hospital with everything needing to be sterile in surgery? I suppose I'd just have to ask them.
