What to wear?

I get the inquiry from time to time about what my clients should wear during labor.  My general answer is, "Whatever you want!!! As long as you are comfortable and there's easy access to your belly and your bottom!"

​

​The hospital I most often work with is fine with mom's wearing whatever they choose to during their stay.  Some moms opt for the provided hospital gown, while others bring along an oversized tshirt that reminds them of home.   Still, other mamas choose something a little more feminine and elegant during this sacred and life-changing time. 

​I've compiled a few suggestions for gowns that might be fitting during labor.   You might be a mama looking just to wear something unique, or, you might want to add just a little touch of beauty and elegance to your wardrobe on "labor day." Whichever category you fall into, here are some ideas!

​

Pretty Pushers are probably the most well known labor gown on the market.  These gowns are comfortable and too cute! They make an assortment of colors and styles and they range in price from $29 to $129.

Really, there's no right or wrong when it comes to what you choose to wear during labor.  It all comes down to how you feel most comfortable.  This is your birth and, in the end, what you are wearing (or not wearing) will likely be the furthest thing from your mind when the big event occurs!
