What do you wear for birth?

You don't need/have to wear anything. I wore nothing at my first home birth. But if you're not comfortable wearing nothing, then whatever you're comfortable in. A crop top, nighty, T-shirt; literally whatever. You won't care what you look like after so comfort is key xx

I wore a bikini top for my daughter and it was ideal (one of those stretchy Hunza G one) was initially planning a water birth but didn’t turn out this way. It was great because it’s easy access for breastfeeding if that’s what you want and you also get super hot/ sweaty! If you’re on the labour war they should give you a gown as well.

I’d say a nightie would be great if you’re staying for the night, no matter what time of the year it is HOT!!

I just wore the t shirt I had on that day, and then stayed in the hospital gown afterwards… I only changed to come home

I had a maternity nighty from Amazon for my first which was super comfy however it did get ruined during the birth so I would suggest something comfy but also something you don’t mind getting ruined 😅x

With both of mine I just ended up birthing in the t-shirt I was wearing that day. After the birth had a bath and then got into a comfy pair of pjs

You can go oversized shirt or bikini top if you want a birthing pool or nothing if you fancy, I opted for the button down maternity nightgown as I was having an induction so I was having wires of the machines everywhere and they are great to unbutton to breastfeed and for skin to skin contact when baby arrives 🙂

I had a nighty and matching thin dressing gown thing. Think I brought it from missguided or somewhere!
Pjs - Chelsea peers has lovely maternity ones at the moment! I've brought the plain ones in every colour they have! So comfortable!! X

For my first I went and got a button down nightie..I was sweating so that came straight off 😂 for my second I ended up just taking my clothes off and I just wore my bra (both my labours were quick so didn’t get chance to change into anything etc).. I’d say something more loose fitting for comfort but you might not want anything on at the time 😊 x

I bought a light/thin/loose/V stretchy vest + shorts lounge-type set from Primark for my first, but ended up with an emergency Section early on, so outfit wasn’t needed. But as others have said, loose, open + replaceable, or even topless/naked 🤣
