Nightdress or Shirt to Give Birth In

It's funny because there are so many things to think about when having a baby and then it comes to deciding what to wear when you are giving birth. If you have a c-section whether it be emergency or elective then you are gowned up so you don't need to wear a nightdress at that point. After you come out of theatre and are bed-bathed then you will need a comfortable and baggy nightdress / nightshirt to wear, ideally with buttons or opening down the front should you wish to breast feed. If you are lucky enough to have a normal vaginal birth then you will need something comfortable to wear. Don't buy expensive nightdresses - tescos or mothercare will do. Giving birth is ...  Read the complete review

Night dress or shirt to give birth in? ........... This is a difficult one. I think that it depends entirely on how you feel , but let me tell you , that nothing you wear will feel comfortable to you at the time of giving birth. When I had my first baby in 2007 , I packed some big night dresses and some big baggy T - shirts. This way I could change if I felt the need. As it was I gave birth to my son in the big baggy T - shirt. I thought that I would want something to wear that would come down to my knees for privacy reasons , but you soon realise that the pain of labour is so bad that you don't care who sees what , as they are going to see your bits at some point ...  Read the complete review

When I was pregnant one of the huge dilemmas that I thought long and hard about was what I would wear during the birth of my son. 'How ridiculous!' I hear you say. For pregnant woman this is a real issue though. It's not very comfortable or practical giving birth in your sexy lingerie. Yes it looks good but believe me when you are in the height of contractions and about to pop that little baby's head out of you then you will find that just about everything will get on your nerves especially the thong that is sticking up your bum! I knew I wanted to breastfeed so I went for one of those night shirts that old ladies wear. You know, the ones with the buttons all ...  Read the complete review

Yes guys - this is a real issue! Why ... Because of the following reasons. 1. You want to be comfy. It's hard work and a skin tight number would not be in order. 2. You don't want to be too hot or cold. Therefore the material can't be too thin or thick, sleeves not too long or short. 3. It has to cover your 'bits' if you decide to start walking around so not too short. But not too long either as it has to be lifted up for baby to come out and for the midwifes to check. 4. If you want to breast feed after birth it has to allow that to happen. 5. It will get covered in blood, sweat and tears so will probably never get worn again. ...  Read the complete review

When preparing to bring your new little bundle into the world every mother wants everything to be new, sparkling and perfect but this is not the case with the nighty you are going to give birth in, i would sugest using an old nighty or a large old t shirt of hubbys as there is not a lot of point in going out and buying new clothing to give birth in as it will almost definately be ruined due to the messy nature of this task. What every you decide to wear i would sugest you choose something that is dark in colour, as dark as possible as this wont show so much of the mess if you do want to wash it the stains will come out easier but also it can be a bit daunting ...  Read the complete review
