What to wear for birth?

Has anyone decided what they’re wearing for birth? Looking for something that is comfortable, and practical but also feels nice to wear.

Does it need to be a night dress/big t shirt or could it be button down pjs?
Any suggestions?

I’ll be wearing a big button down pyjama top from primark (short sleeve)

I’m planning on wearing a button down nightie that’s black. I got it on amazon. I didn’t want to spend loads of something that’s probably going to be covered in all sorts of gunk 😂 my friend gave birth in a normal t shirt so I don’t think it overly matters. Just what ever you feel comfortable in I guess. I’ve got some button down pjs for afterwards

I’m not planning anything specific, I don’t think I’ll care and will probably end up in a big t shirt or just a bra or probably naked. Especially as I want a water birth.
