| I'm all for doing what you want because you are the one wearing it and why should anyone else care since it doesn't have an impact on them. I wanted to get one but decided to save on the mo eat when I realized how messy birth could be (and was for me) and that old have to toss it. I never heard of the dress this post keeps talking about but I was looking in to my own, pretty patterned, hospital gown. I think gownies is one company that makes these. I think there is something to be said for being in a hospital gown the hospitals or your own). They are made in a certain way for a reason and you don't want to make anything complicated for the doctors or nurses. I was ok wearing the hospital gown because I mandated no visitors outside of my husband and parents. If other people were visiting, I would have had something else to wear. |

Yes! And when you finally make it to the toilet, the nurse will actually bend down and take a look down there before she tells you how to use the plastic squirt bottle, the pain-killer spray, the hazel pads, the hydrocortisone cream...the double pads in the huge underwear...with 3 hazel pads on top....and the ice pack on top of those. Yes, all those sweet memories are suddenly coming back to me.... |

Oh, my god, look at her butt... It is so big... 
Seriously. Stop being mean girls. The OP wanted to hear from people who used their own gowns. She got some good suggestions. You're just being catty & annoying. |

Oh, he's just jealous that he can't wear a ruffled gown during the delivery. Why do the ladies get to have all the fun? |

X3 And to the mean girl PPs above, I've given birth twice and, yes, I can imagine wearing a Pretty Pushers gown in all the immediate aftermath of delivery. Why not? Just because YOU can't doesn't mean the rest of the world is the same. |

| what do you think the correlation is between the women who buy Pretty Pushers and the women who insist their newborn daughters wear giant bows? "SEE!?! ITS A GIRL!!! SEE!?!" |

| Its so entertaining to listen to the women saying "this gown gave me a sense of self-agency within the medical-industrial complex!" when this gown literally embodies the medical-industrial complex. The Pretty Pusher is the birthing equivalent of a wipe warmer, aka shit you don't need. |

Jesus, what is wrong with all you people?
I was one of the PPs who wrote in to say that birth can be messy and that I, personally, wouldn't buy one of these. BUT that doesn't mean that OP deserves to be ridiculed or that she asked an insane question. Who gives a flying crap if she wants to wear something that makes her feel nice? It's not for me, but I do not care a bit if she likes it and it works for her. And there's no excuse for mercilessly mocking somebody for asking a question about a product that you, personally, would not buy. |

Exactly which poster do you imagine is a crazed grumpy male? You're the one who is sounding unhinged. |
