[quote=Anonymous]So $30 for the basic Pretty Pusher's labor and delivery gown and an extra $20 if you want ruffles on it?  And $130 if you want your back covered?

You want what you want, I guess, but I think it's a bit gross that you think you're to special for the soft, comfortable, clean nursing gowns that almost everybody else uses to give birth.  Do you need your afterbirth to land on a pristine piece of grey cotton/polyester blend before you throw it away?  Or is it that you want to look nice for pictures that are going to be posted to Instagram?

I could understand this if the hospital gowns were made out of paper, but they're not.  They're soft and comfortable.  Needing your own $130 disposable delivery gown just sounds like so much vanity on a day when you're birthing another human.  Can't we let go of our need to look pretty when we're giving birth?

Maybe this should be a "to each her own" situation where every woman gets to make her own decision about what's right for her.  It really is, I guess.  It just seems so wasteful and, honestly, kind of snooty and vain.[/quote]
