Advantages: Feel comfy

Disadvantages: Look awful

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.
6. Many pictures of you may be taken in the pre and post birth time so you may want to look your best!

Lots of women go for an old baggy t shirt. I took in a choice of two nighties - one form Primark and another from Mothercare.

However on arrival at hospital there was a standard pink gown on my bed that was nice and baggy and roomy. Why wreck my clothes I thought so I ended up just using theirs and it did the job perfectly. I coudl then put on my nice clean one when the job was finished!

Thanks for reading.

Summary: Take a selection but you could just use the hospitals
