    Naked, for both. I wouldn't buy anything specific to birthing (I agree a birthing wrap seems a bit OTT!) because I guess you don't know how you'll feel about what you want to wear. Both times I was just covered over with a blanket afterwards and the birth centre has pretty good climate control, so I never felt cold/hot.

    It WAS nice, once I was in bed, and settled a bit to put on favourite clothes (even though I was naked from the waist down in bed until I left the birth centre, both times... just a bit more practical, kwim?!!) Maybe if you wanted something special you could look at getting something for afterwards?

    ETA: sorry, you already DID buy something - but you know, you'll be able to wear it no matter what, whether it's during, or after!! Also, I'm usually not one for running around without clothes, but somehow it is the last thing on your mind!!
