Water birth

I’m planning for a water birth… but really don’t know what I need. I’ve knicked my partner’s top, do I need a bikini top? Any recommendations?😅

Sport bra / bikini top / bra x

I’d just wear a comfy sports bra or bikini top! Good luck! Super envious you’re having a water birth! I so badly wanted one but not advisable with twins 😅 you’ve got this Mumma!

I'm planning on wearing a baggy t shirt as I don't like things too tight, I'll have a bra on under so I can take it off when having skin to skin. 🥰

I bought a sports bra that unzipped at the front so we could have skin-to-skin once baby arrived

The midwives advised me not to wear a sports bra because it can be harder to take off when it’s wet and you’re exhausted and trying to breastfeed/skin to skin right after birth. They said to wear a bikini top that you/someone else can easily untie or comfy bra you don’t mind getting wet, but honestly I ended up just going bare chested in the end for my waterbirth 😂
