Scrubs fitting larger Dad

Hi all; I’m due to have a C section at RUH Bath in 2 weeks and my husband is very worried about scrubs fitting - he is approx 4XL. Any tips especially from RUh but other hospitals helpful, thanks.

Could u ring the maternity ward/theatre team before your C section and let them know, They might be able to check what sizes they have and arrange something suitable in advance rather than you both worrying on the day?

My partner's the same but they found him a theatre gown to wear instead (not RUH Bath though)

Had the same with my husband, the disposable ones were no where near fitting but they gave him a pair of staff scrub trousers and a gown for the top.

Id suggest giving the hospital a call in advance, they will have options but best to give them a heads up to save any worry the day of ☺️

(This was birmingham womens but im sure your hospital will be the same!)

Not the same hospital but at ours we weren’t given a choice of sizing. My partner was just given some to wear. As others have said, I would give the maternity department a call or speak to your midwife at your next appointment
