[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP, you are constantly covered with fluids from the time you go in, especially after the birth -- colustrum, milk, blood, etc.  You are also constantly disrobing especially from the waist up.  I get where you are coming from, but really, unless you are prepared to bring 20 different outfits, I would not do this.[/quote]

Completely agree with this. I went to the hospital with 3 nice outfits of mine. But ended up wearing what they gave me to start with and realized how comfortable it was and getting a clean one was just about tossing the dirty one  in a bin and reaching a clean one on the shelf. But bring some comfortable flip flops or birkenstocks of yours. [/quote]

I'm the PP who posted the link to the birthing outfit. I've had two lengthy vaginal deliveries w broken waters and didn't have to change my gown during labor due to "fluids everywhere" (I did bring 2 - just in case). I did chuck them after giving birth bc I never intended to hold on to my birthing attire and I did put on a hospital gown for the messy afterbirth, but I appreciated the comfort and convenience of being able to labor and give birth in the outfit I brought. Just another perspective. Ymmv. [/quote]
