    There's another thread on this ill see if i can find it for you

    ETA-

    But to answer your question... Whatever you are comfortable in!!!
    Honestly i was packing myself about what I'd wear and how I'd feel with the exposure, lol. But, once you are actually in labour, you'll probably find that you couldn't give a hoot about what's on and/or off.

    As i was pretty self conscious and scared of being too bare, I had a longer, loose & sleeveless top, that wasn't quite a dress. It was short enough that there was room to 'breathe' everywhere, but long enough that i didn't feel too naked in front of support people. I still walked around with a towel in front of my bits though as i really felt vulnerable about my mum and grandma seeing me.

    If you get and epidural, you'll end up in a hospital gown - i requested an epi towards the end but once the anaesthetist got there it was too late, and i tell you what those gowns are damn restrictive and uncomfortable - so i wouldn't suggest wearing one out of personal choice.
    If your water has broken (well either way really), there's no saying you can't wear underwear and pants with a pad on, and just rip them off for internals (every four hours is apparently routine) or when you're ready to push.
    Or if you're comfortable and it suits you, do it naked hun!

    Best of luck
