Q for Homebirth/Birthing Center Moms

This question has been in the back of my mind for a while, but what are you planning to wear while in labor/giving birth? I have been told to wear something comfy, but I'm not sure if I should buy something specifically to wear because it may get messy. Any thoughts?

    I have this hideous stretchy nightgown that falls about mid-thigh that my mom gave me when I was pregnant with my son. I plan on wearing that and a sports bra. I won't worry about tossing it at all after the birth.

    I wore a long shirt that came down to mid-thighs whenever I was not in the water and was pretty much naked the rest of the time.  This time around (last baby was summer baby) I might just rock one of my flannel nightgowns (which are hardly attractive, but my go to night clothing right now).

    I'll probably wear something like a cheap nightgown or an over-sized t shirt. When I'm in the water I'll probably be naked. I'll also bring my bathrobe, which is very comfy, but honestly, hideously ugly. I will not be sad if it needs to be replaced. It's leopard print. Cool

    The advantage of being at home for labor and deliver is that I don't have to think about this kind of thing. Which is fatnastic because my brain is totally fried. I will wear whatever I have the mood for until it all comes off. Most likely a short nightgown or one of DH's t-shirts.

    I bought a sarong to wear while laboring. It cost $15, so I'll just replace it should it get ruined. I wanted to feel pretty. Smile
