My "two cents" on buying a hospital gown

I read a post..I think last night..about buying and bringing your own gown to the hospital and people had some snotty responses to the op....I think the biggest response had to do with "it's not a fashion show, you can put normal clothes on after labor" or "it will get bloody and yucky anyways"..I just wanted to share that I bought one for DD1 just because I thought it was cute and didn't think much about when id be wearing it - during labor, after, who knows - i just wanted it. Turns out I was so happy I did order it. I had a c section that wasn't planned and how I felt after was absolutely miserable and not expected..I knew I'd feel crappy after birth..but not like I was run over by a truck, not able to shower, walk, or move. So I wasn't able to just put on comfy clothes after and for that reason I was so thankful I had that pretty gown to put on and be a little more covered and felt somewhat girly while I had visitors. It stayed in perfect condition and I was happy to dig it out the other day to put in my bag!

This post is pretty snotty.
And the OP wasn't about changing into something after the birth. Plenty of people do that. It was about those ugly, ugly gowns some of us wear while pushing. You're not even allowed to wear a non-standard gown for a se

I'm not sure how telling her our personal experiences are "snotty". I told her that I sweat and bled everywhere and wouldn't have wanted one. I think this second post is ridiculous considering no one was at all "snotty" to that girl.

I wore the hospital gown the whole time. I delivered vaginally and needed to change at least 3 times during labor. After, I was bleeding so badly, I stayed in the gown and mesh underwear until I was discharged. I thought it was comfortable and easy for
wowza, who knew that wearing your hospital gown would cause such an uproar?
I always prefer to wear my own clothes. If someone thinks I'm a whacko for doing so, then that's their issue.. Not mine.
