for labor definitely hospitals. I went through about 5 as I got VERY gross and sweaty during labor.
Afterwards I wore theirs as well, this time I may take a pair of pjs since I'll actually have visitors. But then again I don't want the mess so I may just use theirs again.
during labor, i am wearing either a tank or a sports bra of my own, and bringing a nursing gown for afterwards as well as a tshirt and pj pants.
Mom to 2 beautiful girls, 3 yrs and 22 months old. My 2nd was born at 32 weeks due to Rhogam failure/severe complications from Rh disease and is our miracle. She has bilateral auditory neuropathy and a cochlear implant, activated 4/5/2012 at 19 months.
I'm bringing my own - at least 2 sets of pjs/comfy clothes - because I can wear whatever I want. However, I'll decide when I get there what I wear. I'm not committing to anything
I'm also bringing a bathing suit top for the bath b/c I plan to do it naturally. I know people say you don't care in the moment, but right now I care, so I'm bringing a top for the bath.
I'll be using theirs until I can get a shower. I picked up a soft but light nightgown and robe from Kohls that I will have for post shower/pre visitors.

Hospitals for sure. They get very messy and gross.
Maybe get some nursing PJs/gowns for later.

I prefer to use the hospital gown

Theirs! I will bring something for when we have visotors but I don't want to get my stuff all bloody.
Hospitals all the way - I don't want to get my stuff all gross.
I may bring DH's robe for after (since his is gray and mine is light pink) but thats about it.
