Crocs instead of slippers....

redleo_81

The nurse who taught our birthing class recommended crocs instead of slippers for walking the halls and to and from the bathroom.  She had a good point, although gross.....she said you may leak blood or amnio fluid down you leg during and after labor as you get up and down from bed or during walking.  Who wants that in there slippers?  Crocs can be easily washed off and no harm done.  I'm taking mine to the hospital along with slipper socks that I can slip on while in bed or slip into my crocs for later.

Am I the only person on the planet who doesn't own a pair of crocs?    Makes sense that they will give you better grip.

That's a really good tip.  I've never owned Crocs, but maybe it's worth investing in a pair.

I've never even touched a pair, people rave about them, but I've never been inclined to test them out. 

Good advice though

Here's my problem with this idea: I would need to become the owner of a pair of crocs.

I do not and will not. I just wore the hospital socks with tread they give you in unlimited amounts to change as often as you like. Save your $ and take your happy slippers for post partum.

I bought a "special" pair that already packed in my bag so I don't for get them.

I think I'd rather go barefoot than wear crocs.

Ugh, no thanks. I'd rather wear my old navy sandals..also washable, extremely cheap, and not as ugly..

Wouldn't a pair of flip flops do the same thing?

Dollar store flip flops work too...

I don't owe any Croc...guess I may have to look into it

I agree with PP, flip flops are fine. Imagining myself in a hospital gown with crocs on makes me chuckle a little bit.

Ick. Even for all the sense they might make during labor, I wouldn't don Crocs!!
