    I've worn the same huge nightie dark blue for all 3 births. It is a goodluck charm for me now

    Just trackies and a fleece jacket for labour at home (it was June!) and then as soon as I arrived at the FBC I shed my layers to bare skin After the birth (WAY after!) I had undies and a cotton cami (with an elasticised sweetheart neckline for easy pulldown) and a microfibre crop top. I was under the sheets from waist down till the next day to get ready to go home.

    I was wearing a maxi dress i bought while pregnant but got way too hot so stripped off anyway. after baby came they put a heated blanket on me to keep me and bubs warm. was so convenient just being naked because baby could be plonked straight on my chest and i figured that your lower half is on display to the world so a pairs of boobs hanging out is no big deal.

    I wore my very favourite Triple J T-shirt that I bought when I was in Year 12! I still have it and I still wear it, and if and when I have another baby, I will wear it again for the birth! (Geez I really do love that T-shirt huh!!)

    I had DF's tshirt & trackies on coz thats all we had that was loose enough, everything else was uncomfrotable. After I got to the hossy I just wore the T-shirt. It was red so if there were any stains you cant see them. Afterwards I was changed into a hossy gown for surgery & I was in that until the next day, & I just wore trackies & Ts and my winter button up PJs at night for the rest of the hossy stay

    With DS1 - I had a nightie on and it didn't get ruined at all. Still wear it now sometimes. It's super comfy!
    With DS2 - I couldn't be bothered with putting my own clothes back on after being in the shower so I just put on a hospital gown. I think I had 2 on, one at the front, one at the back.
