Labor Gowns?

Has anyone bought one of those cute labor gowns off Etsy or elsewhere? I'm curious about your review.

I considered it last pregnancy but just went with the hospital gown.

They look cute, but I figure I'm just going to bleed on it.

I agree with topaz7777.  I never bought one because it's just going to get gross from delivery and then what do I do with it after delivery?  I didn't even bring a bathrobe or anything with my daughter.  When I had my son in 2008.. I had a bathrobe that my mom bought me and I wore that over my hospital gown once he was born. With my daughter I just used the hospital gown until I was able to take a shower and then I just changed into my comfy clothes.  

They are not cheap either.  I think the ones I looked at on Etsy were anywhere from $40-$65

With our first the hospital gave every mother one after delivery. At first I thought it was nice, but I could not figure out what to do with it. I donated it. I have always just worn the hospital gown. Once I showered I put on PJs.

Before you buy, ask your dr if the hospital you will deliver at will even allow you to wear something other than their hospital gown during delivery.  I know some don't. 

I would spend that money on some nice things you could wear the day after delivery and going home etc.  Most of the time after deliver I would wear a hospital gown for the rest of that day while the bleeding is really really heavy. Then the next day I would wear a comfy lounge or pj type outfit.  A couple times I put on my clothes I brought once I took my first shower but I did end up bleeding on them!  I brought extras with me and changed into something new.
