i wore a hospital gown. not really by choice (i took a tshirt to wear) but it just seemed to happen (but they didn't make me either, just gave it to me in case i wanted it)! i found i didn't care at all, almost from the beginning. sure, it made it that little less personal, but as i was being induced & was hooked up to a monitor & had a drip in, the whole experience wasn't exactly as i'd envisaged.
i reckon save your nice things for after the birth - i think the best thing was when i had my first shower & could then put on my own nice, comfy clothes afterwards
I wore a breastfeeding singlet, which was a standard part of my wardrobe in the later weeks!! I had one of DHs tshirts on over that. Tracksuit pants came off very early in the piece!!
The midwife took off my tops once DS was born for skin to skin contact. But I was so hot I could've easily been naked alot earlier!! You really don't care about clothes/being nudie once you're there.
