I was also thinking about a thin tshirt. I don't own a bikini top and I don't really want to go out and buy one for the occasion. </p> Arden on "If you had a water birth..." https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-you-had-a-water-birth#post-576204 Tue, 19 Feb 2013 14:25:07 +0000 Arden 576204@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I have a bikini top packed for mine, but I've seen Mamas in tank tops, naked (usually), a bra, big tee shirts... anything goes. </p> Mrs. Chalk on "If you had a water birth..." https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-you-had-a-water-birth#post-576110 Tue, 19 Feb 2013 14:12:32 +0000 Mrs. Chalk 576110@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I didn't have a water birth, but I did labor in the tub for a while. I hadn't thought about packing anything for that, and I remember asking the midwife at one point what to do. She shrugged and said that most women just go au naturel (sp?). By the time I was ready to get in the tub, I could not have cared less about being naked. </p> Dandelion on "If you had a water birth..." https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-you-had-a-water-birth#post-576108 Tue, 19 Feb 2013 14:12:00 +0000 Dandelion 576108@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@mrs. superhero: Yeah, It's only gonna be me, dh, the midwife and the back-up midwife. </p> Mrs. Superhero on "If you had a water birth..." https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-you-had-a-water-birth#post-576096 Tue, 19 Feb 2013 14:09:55 +0000 Mrs. Superhero 576096@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I was naked, but it was only Mr SH, my midwife and a nurse so it was really private, </p> Dandelion on "If you had a water birth..." https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-you-had-a-water-birth#post-576085 Tue, 19 Feb 2013 14:08:25 +0000 Dandelion 576085@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>What did you wear in the tub? I can't figure out what to pack for it. I might just bring a large shirt for it, cause I don't think I want to deal with a bathing suit top or anything...I'm pretty sure I won't want to be totally naked...but who knows how I'll feel in the moment, lol. </p>
