I labored fast and then had an emergency c section. Nothing could make me comfortable. Happy I saved $30. The hospital gown was surprisingly comfortable. I also got a preview because I was hospitalized for a night at 33 weeks. |
| I haven't read everything else but I hated the hospital gowns - they were really scratchy, so I intend to buy one of the pretty pushers. This is my second time around... |
+1 I am figuratively dying at this thought. |
Sorry, lady. I'm neither a sir nor Dr. Bozo. I'm firmly in the "wear what you want without judging others" camp. |
| I'm wearing Bjork's swan dress during labor. |
Probably not just first times, but I bet the overlap between the pretty pushers buyers and those seeking push presents is large. |
Oh, please. The name is ridiculous, but the desire to wear your own gown is not. Just stop. |
| But seriously, all you guys who have given birth, can you imagine yourselves getting out of bed for the first time post-partum, hanging on to the nurse for dear life to use the potty. You know, when they measure your blood mixed pee in that toilet measuring cup thingy? Can you picture yourselves wearing one of those heinous purple ruffled numbers at that very moment?

| Oh what memories... Also nice to remember the gush of blood running down my legs the first time I got up with the help of the nurse and then the mess all over the place. Sweet sweet memories. |

Don't forget those giant underwear with the EXTRA big pad and an ice pack! Can you imagine these peeking through in the midst of the ruffles??! LOL |
OMG, its just too funny, I can't stop laughing....Ruffles at that moment would just make me feel so stupid...I'm sorry...hahahahah....hahahahaha...Oh, let me arrange the ruffles while I take a sitz bath.... |
You must be superwoman. Good for you! I just can't picture myself even trying to look pretty at that moment, thats all. Let me have my good laugh in peace please! |
Omg woman, relax. I never said I was trying to look "pretty," I looked like death warmed over. I just wanted comfort and convenience and I got it. The name is stupid, the function was not. Get a grip. |
