What do you wear? - Page 2

I couldn't stand clothes last time, I assume it will be the same this time, and I'll be very comfortable naked in my own home.

I'm a lot more private about who gets to view my birthing pictures than I am about being naked at the birth .

However, I do remember that last time, a couple of hours after DD was born, I got quite cold, and would have loved some fuzzy jammies, so I'll make sure I have some warmer, easy nursing wear available for after.

I'm pretty self concious, so I don't know if I'll be able to just run around naked the whole time! But I guess we'll see what happens when the time comes!!

I can tell you what I just wore. I started off in sweats and t-shirt, then was too hot changed to capris, then my water broke so I changed to pj bottoms and then I had a shower and was naked for the rest of the labour. And I didn't care who was there and what they saw.

I'm not in your ddc, but when I asked this in mine almost everyone said "naked". I want to labor outside some and don't really want the inlaws and other neighbors to see me in all my glory. I think I'm going with a tank top and sarong.

I had my first at a birth center and I wore a short nursing gown. This time I'm having a home waterbirth. I plan to wear a sports bra in the birth pool. I will have a comfy nightshirt handy to wear after the baby is born. I hired a photographer and I don't want to be naked in every picture b/c I'd like DH to make a birth movie that I actually feel comfy letting other people watch.

My last two labours all I wore was a towel.. as I was in and out of my bathtub until it was time to push and then I just tossed the towel.
I am not very big, Im a petite girl so I just felt comfy wrapped in in bath sheet size towel...
After my last birth I put on my bathrobe..likely same thing will happen this time.

A TOWEL! Why didn't I think of that? Or to keep a robe on hand? I don't have a robe, but oh now I feel dumb.
