I can't believe such a thing exists. And with that name. And with a transition gown. Are you expected to change after transition? I had 2 hrs from regular contractions to delivery. Just enough time to get to hospital and get settled. Clothing was not on my mind.
Right? I honestly can't remember if I was wearing anything during my child's birth. I might have been in the hospital gown, but I might have been naked. I was 7cm dilated by the time I got to the hospital and had other things on my mind. To each their own.

I'm just thinking you never experienced the feeling of being physically 'invaded' by a male physician, when he showed no respect for your body? It wasn't so long ago, when women had zero choices going into a hospital. You simply had to do as you're you were told, just like a five year old kindergartner. Good that those days are gone, for many of us anyways.
Doctors are no longer our superiors.
Remember, they work FOR us.
You have issues that no "Pretty Pusher" will solve.
Yeah...is this the "control freak" poster?
I'd say apparently yes. Anyone who doesn't obey the preferences of a physician ("just because"), must have "issues."
Well, without enough satisfied clients, his/her bank account will "have issues." Funny how that works when doctors live in their own little world, and neglect to learn the real needs of their clients. Catching the baby is the easy part of their job. Helping a woman relax and trust you is the hard part. And you need to earn it, just like every other worker. Your diploma on the wall doesn't impress me.
Your ability to help me give the best possible birth to my child, however, will impress me. Did you learn that in med school? I doubt it.
Not everyone who thinks this attitude is suspect is a doctor.
- "Issues" PP, not an MD
+1
I'm also not a doctor and think you have major issues.
+2 I recognize that poster. Anyone who disagrees with her is an evil MD.

Wow. I guess if you have money to burn, whatever. Seems like a waste to me, but everyone had their own preferences.

Didn't wear the gown. Didn't wear a pretty pusher. Wore my own clothes, washed them and still wear them. NBD.

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.
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.
Just when I think people cannot be any more consumerist or wasteful...
It's too bad I dont know you or I could've donated it to you.
That's a very sweet offer, but I just feel bad for you that with all that money you have to piss away, you still can't afford a washing machine or a trip to the laundromat.

Ha. Giving birth is one of the few times when I think people should be encouraged to throw their clothes away.
Or they could use the gowns conveniently provided by and washed for the hospital.

Doesn't anyone else think this thread was started by the OP to then promote her business/product?
