What to wear with CFM?

I just realized that the stupid CFM might change things as far as my labor wardrobe.  Granted I was naked most of my last labor anyways, but I just used an old robe vs. a hospital gown and would like to feel like a normal person vs. patient as much as possible.  What did you wear or plan on wearing if you had CFM (I have tele too so I'll hopefully be in the shower/tub)?

    If you're going to be in the tub or shower you could be topless or wear a sports bra.  I would wear a loose top or gown otherwise, you don't want anything too tight if you have monitors on your belly.

    I wore a maternity T-shirt and mesh panties from the hosptial while on the CFM.  I didn't really plan on it - it just happened, and it worked out well.   I just never put on the hosptial gown and wound up wearing the shirt I wore into the hosptial.

    Yeah, with DS1 I labored in a sports bra and giant t-shirt when I had the telemetry unit (totally had CFM with my first, low-risk labor - aaaaargh!). Anyhoo, I eventually lost everything but the sports bra - for some reason, I didn't want to be totally naked, heh heh.

    I'm so excited for you!!! You're getting down to the wire :)!!
