    I completely agree Maz. I'm not phoo phooing at all. I think it is a BRILLIANT idea (and wish I'd known about them when I had DD!). Recovery isn't likely to do the change as it requires the garment accompaning her into theatre. There is a chance it could get lost, infection control, limiting things in the theatre etc. BUT, do talk to your Ob. If they are happy for you to wear it, it is likely to be ok.

    Sarah, they are really gorgeous gowns!

    Oh no no, that was great that you told me that MG. Back on the ward would be fine, I actually had thought it wouldn't be allowed in the theatre anyway because of needing things sterile etc. After both c/s I had a sponge bath not long after being back on the ward so I suspect it will be the same & it would be easy enough to have a quick gown change then.
