but i'm probably gonna buy my own hospital approved gown for pushing time but while i'm laboring, i'm gonna be in my own comfy clothes. cuz i don't wanna be walking around the hospital in the gown with my a** crack showing lol

I hate hospital gown, I'm gonna buy some cheap undies and a big tee shirt that I can throw out. I'm also having a water birth which I will get in the second end so I will be just wearing a bikini top I think.

I wore a hospital gown and I'm so glad to because they are a lot more comfortable and you won't feel restricted. I'm actually in my other room right now and they even gave me a special gown just for breastfeeding.

I'll wear the hospital gown and then change into some yoga pants and a tank top after :)

Haha yeah you can be naked in your own room .. You just can't walk around labor and delivery naked lol I doubt you would want to though lol. But that's a good idea just a sheet .. Everyone is telling me the hospital gowns are so uncomfortable and itchy .. So I think I'm just going to wear a sports bra and wear my own robe .

haha while in labor I'll wear a hospital gown. I don't want my own clothes to get all bloody and sweaty. after wards I'll probably put on a comfy tee and shorts.
