I don't want to wear the hospital gown.

It's the control freak sock-puppet. Just ignore him. Probably a grouchy ob.

This made sense to me:

"A woman’s emotional state during childbirth is known to have a physiological effect on her laboring body. It’s exciting to know that no matter where you give birth, you can wear whatever you choose. The Birthing Gown was designed by Cindy Lintel, L&D nurse from New York with more than 25 years’ experience, who has witnessed a transformation in laboring women when they politely declined that worn out hospital gown and insisted on wearing the clothing of their choice."

Pretty much what my doula & midwife both said.

Excellent resource list for pregnant women.

Hey, I'm cool with whatever people want to wear during their own births, but I still have to call bull$hit on this. NO ONE is thinking about their outfit during labor and delivery!

Actually, I am. Nothing makes me feel more terrible and lacking agency than a hospital gown. I'll be bringing my own, thanks.

What? A doula and a midwife? Pretty good resources, I'd say.

Yes, they are. Much better than you for sure. But I was actually referring to the website, Dr. Bozo.

Sad the way 'modern medicine' wants to disregard a woman's emotional well-being. Actually, it's downright shameful.

Choose your provider very carefully, ladies.

So dramatic. No one is suggesting you shouldn't wear what you want. Only that you're a sucker for paying $50 for half a dress. But get at it if you want.

I get where you are coming from, but really, unless you are prepared to bring 20 different outfits, I would not do this.

Then you don't need to do it. But stop being a control freak. OP can wear what she wants to wear.

Speaking of control freak.
