L&D gowns?

JBMarq3 · March 2013

Hi ladies,

are any of you going to bring your own gown to deliver? I hate the hospital gowns and if anyone takes pics of me while I'm still in the hospital bed, I would rather not be wearing the hospital gown...

Thoughts? If so, where did you get yours?

JSS1002 · March 2013

I ordered a pink Pretty Pushers gown (google it).

It is cheap and meant to just be thrown away after delivery. But I love the soft fabric, and I am sick of feeling dowdy lately, so I went for it. :-)

JBMarq3 · March 2013

I did see those and I agree! thanks!

There are some really great ones on Etsy.com and they are washable. Just remember to put a little peroxide on the blood just before you wash it and it will be good as new. The link is

Nope. I ripped my hospital gown off and stripped down to a nursing bra last time toward the end. Labor is such a gross, sweaty, uncomfortable time that I really didn't give a shiz about what I was wearing and eventually felt like the gown just got in t

I'm debating. I have a few picked out, I just can't decide if I want to spend $60 on it. If I got one, I would plan on washing it and using it again in the future. As far as "you won't care what you're wearing" that some people say, that

Check with your hospital before you buy anything as mine won't allow you to wear anything but their gowns during labor and I've heard others on this board say the same about their hospitals.

I haven't even heard of the idea of bringing your own gown! Not a bad idea... those gowns are ugly... but might be the last thing you'll think about, lol. With my first, I never changed out of the hospital gown, showered, or thought of my appearance for a

I brought one when I went to deliver DD but they wouldn't let me wear it. I HAD to wear their gown. So I put it on after delivery once I was cleaned up.

mben1119 · March 2013

Some hospitals don't allow them. I didn't want to wear anything else, I was bleeding and leaking so much.

hoku82 · March 2013

I got a Gownie....i liked that it has really good coverage so I wont feel like my butt or boobs are hanging out if i'm needing to walk around in the halls or something during labor. I really like that they have snaps so I can just rip the top down when

I ordered one off of either ebay or amazon from the Gownies line and they are semi-affordable, starting around $30.

homebird · March 2013

No. I'm pretty sure when people see pictures of me in a hospital gown ... in the hospital ... they're not going to judge. I'm not that vain. I'll probably bring a robe to wear when I'm walking around and a nursing top or tank to wear after delivery.</p

megandscott07 · March 2013

I got the blue polka dot Gownie on Amazon for $30. I hate the regular hospital gowns and figure the $30 is worth my comfort knowing full well the thing will most likely be thrown away immediately after delivery. I am actually surprised by how nice it is,

These are cute enough and only $14!

Labor and delivery is pretty gross. I just wore the hospital gown ? in fact, I wore many of them, as they kept getting soaked from leaking water (when your water breaks during labor, it keeps coming out the entire time ? it's not like your uterus complete

FabulousMrs.P · March 2013

Our hospital didn't allow anything else other than their hospital gown while delivering. You might want to check with the hospital before you buy anything. After I delivered...I could switch back to my own clothes, but for the first 24 hours I kept the ho

BelhurstBride · March 2013

I wore what the hospital provided. I have more important things to spend my money on.

duffmaker · March 2013

Nope, I see no reason for them. It isn't a fashion show, you're bringing a baby into the world and trust me the ONLY one that matters and the ONLY one that anyone is going to care about during those pictures is not going to give a damn what your hospit

runningyogimama · March 2013

I can't imagine spending money on this. I had to change gowns three times after my water broke between that and blood and everything else that comes out down there, and, really, the last thing you're going to care about is how you look while you're giving

tokenhoser · March 2013

I did unspeakable things to my labour/delivery gowns last time.

Yes, gowns. The first one barely made it on before my water broke all over the place. And then the next one eventually ended up on the floor, but not before I bled all over it. I got

why is everybody always so judgmental in these posts? If you didn't buy something special, can' you just say "Nope, didn't want to."

And you might get to feel better about yourself for ten minutes until it's soaked in amniotic fluid, blood and sh*t.

Know what makes you feel better? A clean gown any time you need it.

evelyntaylor · March 2013

I did with my first, but I hate them too. They are too big and the fabric is scratchy so I am bringing my own. I was just going to get a night gown or something like that from walmart since it will most likely end up in the trash after.
