How are you dressing for delivery?

Are you ladies wearing a hospital gown? Your own gown? Sports bra? I know some hospital require you to just wear the hospital gown but ladies whose doctors let you chose. I'm wearing just a sports bra, I will be going natural so ill be laboring in the jet tub, birthing ball, & doing other things as well. I'm also giving birth on my hands and knees.

I have a sports bra and a gown just in case I decide I dont want to go into the birth tub. I too am doing a natural birth. With my daughter I had a t shirt and sports bra, may just go that route again.

My hospital doesn't require a gown for delivery.  My midwife said if I wanted to deliver naked I could. I've delivered once at this hospital already & having a midwife you can do so much more. I'm sorry you don't getthe oopportunity to deliver in what you want. I'm excited for my just sports bra delivery which is really just being used for laboring in the tub.

I have a Bandeau that I plan to wear under my hospital gown. The gown is coming off as soon as they tell me I'm ready to push. I hate feeling restricted or like I could get caught up in it.

I usually just throw a hospital gown over me so I can cover up when I want or take it all off if I want without fuss.

I ordered a labor gown from Amazon but I haven't opened it yet.  I might not get a chance to use it because I may have to have a c-section so I may end up returning it. I probably do need to get an inexpensive sports bra for delivery. Mine are all too small now.
