Probably a silly question but what can you wear while in the water? Would also love to hear people’s experiences of having one

I'm planning on a water birth and they said you can basically wear what you want, some do it completely naked. I bought a nice comfy bralette thing, I didn't think I would be comfortable in a bikini top, so just bought a cute thing to make me feel nice but not expensive because you're probably going to throw it away afterwards ☺️

I just wore a bikini top, didn’t bother with anything on the bottom as they kept making me get out for checks and to go to the loo every so often.

A bralet or sports bra.

I wore a bralet and nothing on the bottom

You can wear a bra, a bikini/tankini, a tshirt, nothing at all, literally whatever makes you feel the most comfortable :)

My midwife said anything you are happy to be cut or can lift over your head without removing arms like a halterneck bikini so if you have to have a drip, you can still take the wet clothes off x

I just wore a bralet

I just wore a bikini top, the pool was amazing but it slowed my body down because I was too relaxed in there!

Loved my first water birth and hoping same again for second, so calm & relaxing atmosphere.
I just wore my bra, had taken a bikini top but never bothered changing. Some people go naked x

Thanks everyone I I have a few options now and just going to see how I feel when the time happens
