I wore a black nightie

I am wondering the same, I have one of those Oodie sleep Tees at the moment and thinking of getting a black one. I’m just not sure if it will too much fabric and get in the way

I just had on a nursing bra for my first (water birth) and then a loose fitting nightie for my second

Nothing for my first, it was way too hot. For my second I wore a really thin button down shirt, it was meant to be a beach cover-up thing.

I had a hospital gown on as I was getting oily back massages and it was just easier than have my bum out all the time 🙈😂

Just a loose fitting tshirt.. I didn't have time to get changed - or take it off 🤣

I gave birth in a sleep crop top from primark, was originally in a black nightie, but put on the little top when I had an epidural.

I had a black nightie planned (big tshirt kind) but when it came to it I was butt naked after using the shower as pain relief 😂 home birth

I started in a sports bra and dress (Baby came unexpectedly & v quickly) but a couple hours in I stripped off and was completely nude 😂
It was a very hot day and I was dripping in sweat

I think I just had a gym top

I was naked 😅 clothing irritated me! I planned to wear a button down nightie

I gave birth on my nursing bra, I was intending to have a water birth but the baby came too quickly and wasn’t able to

My first 3 my own clothes
My last 2 hospital grown
My last 2 I had no choice but to wear the hospital gown
Luckily I did with my 5th as my post delivery bleeding kept going on the grown

My pj top so that it could be easily unbuttoned for skin to skin. Was originally a button up nightie but I didn’t have time to actually change into it 🤦🏻♀️🤣
