I am pregnant for the second time expecting twins. When I had my first baby in 2007 I took a couple of front opening night dresses into hospital with me , as I intended to breast feed. I found it really hard to find some in the shops. They are not in many of the shops on the high street. I think this is because they are not the prettiest of things to be wearing, and forgive me for saying this .... but I think you will only find them in the older womens type of shops. I managed to get mine in a shop called Ladies realm in the end , which is also where I bought my large Bridget Jones knickers for after the labour. The front opening night dresses saved my life.

Front opening nighties - they put it on the list to get for when you go into hospital to have your little one. But is it an essential item? I must say I was a bit dubious - how many items does Mam of a new born actually need?
