What to wear?

I wore my sarong and a big t shirt while I laboured at home then when I got to hospital I stripped off and was completely naked the whole time. I hated anything touching my body other than fingers for massage on my back! Made it easier to when they had to put the monitors on anything else they needed to do.

I arrived at the hospital fully dressed in my PP trousers a nice top etc had only been in labour for one hour so far. Hubby managed to get my trousers off between contractions I think and then laboured in the nice top with a sheet over bottom half. My mid wife asked if I wanted to take my top off but I just screamed at her that I couldn't as by that time the contractions weren't stopping!!! So 3/4 hour later I had baby gunk all over my nice top!!!! Oh well it washed up ok nappisan is fantastic
But I'd suggest if you get the chance, that you wear a hospital gown then they get to clean it and you can change into your own stuff after you shower.

I was in track pants and one of M's t-shirts at home and on the way to hospital. At hospital they got me to change into a gown when I arrived which stayed on till I had my c-section (getting it off was more than a little troublesome though)

I was just in my normal maternity clothes at home and when I arrived at hospital, then straight into a bikini as soon as I was off the monitors and able to hit the bath.  Obviously only half the bikini got to stay once baby started heading out but by then I didn't care.  Plan B was a hospital gown but I didn't need one it turned out.  Then I had nice summer jammie-jims of my own to put on once I'd showered.
