Disposable Labor and Delivery Gown

cjlindsey+1

For all the ladies who want to look cute on the official day, just thought I would share.  I found this disposable labor and delivery gown on amazon and I just got it in today.  I feel great in it and look super cute.  I won't be in a hospital because I will be having my baby in a birthing center, but I knew I didn't want to be naked (personal preference) and so I was going to go with the sports bra and skirt.  But then I found this and it's great.  The dress is cute and I just keep thinking about post baby pics with mama.  This was a great idea.  Check it out:

Maybe I'm just cheap but the thought of buying a gown to dispose of never really crossed my mind... The hospital gown is disposable and free (well, free-ish. ykwim.) :P

This is my thought.  I guess I really dont care what I look like during labor I know I didnt care with my first.  I just tried to look cute afterwards when I was able to shower etc...

I must be cheap too.  I think these things are totally silly.  Yes they're cute, but I just can't see myself spending the money on them.  And besides, how "cute" do you really need to look at that time?!  Call me stupid but I just can't see worrying about how cute I look with all that drama happening to my vagina.

Yeah, I'm hoping to NOT hang around after birth in a bloody nasty hospital gown.  I bought a nice nursing gown and robe to wear after I get to take a shower and clean up a bit.

Since you are in a birthing center and they aren't supplying you with a hospital gown, I think it's great! And I wouldn't want to ruin my own stuff.  Since I'm going to be in a hospital, I will just use their gowns for that reason.

I wore a gown with DD almost the whole time I was there. They give you clean ones as often as you want them, and this way I didn't have any dirty laundry to take home.

I totally bought one of these too, so you're not alone OP! I wore my own nightgown when I labored with DS (just a cotten nightgown I got at target, very similarly shaped to a hospital gown but you know - cuter and more comfortable) and I really just felt more comfortable. It was only 20 bucks so eh, I figured why not. I think it will make me feel less like a sick hospital patient

I plan to labor and deliver in my own clothing.

I fully expect to be nekkid, but just in case that isn't what happens, I have a tight stretchy tank top that can be doubled up to act like a sports bra (I can't wear an actual sports bra...not anything I can breath in at least) and I plan to wear a black skirt to the hospital that really needs to be retired anyway so I have options. I'm not opposed to wearing the hospital gown if I have to, but I hate those things and, like pp, I don't want to feel like a sick person in labor.

i bought a birthing skirt with DD and loved laboring in it, so I don't think it's crazy to not want to wear the hospital gown, especially if you plan to be moving around during labor, etc. 

That said, I don't know if I would spend money on disposable if you plan to have another kid.  i didn't get the skirt all bloody and gross (it popped off when I was crowning and I was in my nursing sports bra) and just washed it and put it away with my maternity clothes.  It will go with me again to the hospital.
