As you might have read in the first part of my Birth Story, I was given an opportunity to try out a Pretty Pushers gown.
While many might not think what you wear while laboring matters, I think the right clothes help a person relax better and feel more “themselves”. For some people that might mean wearing your own clothes, for others- a hospital gown, then there are those who like to go naked and those who feel that childbirth is a special enough event to wear a special gown. And of course, let’s not forget hospital protocols, many of which don’t allow for personal clothes and need a gown that has proper access to medical devices such as an epidural and monitoring.
Pretty Pushers is a company that makes those special labor gowns. The gowns are only $24-28 and are meant to be thrown out after labor, which is very convenient since you don’t have to worry about getting it dirty. They come in a variety of colors and themes, my two favorites of which are “I dream of sushi” (because I truly couldn’t wait to have sushi) and “I dream of coffee”, since it’s my favorite lavender color.
I spent my whole labor in a Pretty Pushers gown and the nurses had no problems with attaching me to monitors or checking me and everyone commented on what a cute gown I wore and how they’d never seen anything like that. My 2nd shift nurse said “Well, you sure do look fabulous!” 🙂 Yes, thank you, definitely something I WANT TO HEAR on my labor day! 🙂

Afterwards, I was really thankful not to have to decide what to do with soiled clothes. Through fog, I remember the nurse asking me what I wanted to do with it, and I was happy to not have to think about it and say “Toss it!”. That’s how it’s meant to be!

I don’t see why not…
Wow I LOVE that gown! I’m definitely going to check on my next appointment to see if I can wear something like this!
Oh wow I wish I’d known about these! It really is cute! I hated my hospital gown. Talk about frumpy…and I remember how creative I got with it after giving birth, I just tied the strings around my neck so it was halter style so I’d have easy access for breastfeeding always…wow this would have been sooo much cuter, lol!! IF I have a second ever, I’ll definitely get one of these! 🙂
