Labor robes?

Question

FTM here and I was recently talking with another mom friend. She said she had her own robe and gown for her 2nd baby and she loved it. I like that idea better than wearing the hospital one so I was gonna get one. Any body else tried bringing their own and have advice? I’m not sure if I should get the nightgown and robe or if one is more needed than the other. I’ll post a pic of what I’m looking at.

Answer

I bought a gown for post-delivery :) I’m excited about having a covered butt.

Answer

I brought in a robe for after delivery and I highly recommend doing so and NOT for labor. Labor was messy, you don’t know if you will end up needing a c section, or if the hospital will allow it. 
After delivery you will have a diaper sized pad, a pee pad on the bed, and having a nice robe to a make yourself feel better/prettier, as well as presentable if you are having visitors...while also being functional (as in easy access to the boob if you plan on or can breast feed.

Answer

My hospital wont allow you to wear your own. You have to wear the hospital issued gown. Believe me, I've asked every time I've gone in for preterm labor lol.

Answer

Not for during because I think it’s a waste of money to get blood on a cute robe, but I took a nurse gown with robe for after I showered and it made nursing a lot easier while also looking cute.

Answer

For after labor maybe but be prepared to possibly get blood on it.

Answer

I wouldn't suggest one for labour in case of an emergency.

Answer

Whatever you decide just be prepared for whatever you use in labor to be completely unusable again. Or at least completely unusable until a thorough washing (which is unlikely in the hospital). I’m just using a hospital gown for labor and delivery but have a few pairs of nursing pj’s for the rest of the hospital stay.

Answer

I ordered a gown from this Etsy vendor (mommyrobeclothing). She can make it to your specifications (including an opening in the back if you're getting an epidural). She was amazing to work with, it was affordable, and surprisingly fast, considering it ships from India! https://www.etsy.com/in-en/shop/mommyrobeclothing

Here's a photo of her shop.

Answer

I got one for after delivery with a matching baby outfit for pics
