Nothing from the waist down and no gown for delivery. It was only put on me after. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/spinoff-did-you-buy-a-hospital-gown#post-201718 Tue, 26 Jun 2012 07:53:09 +0000 Arden 201718@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I love the "Pretty Pushers" gowns. They are so cute! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/spinoff-did-you-buy-a-hospital-gown#post-201717 Tue, 26 Jun 2012 07:52:52 +0000 Arden 201717@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Well I'm using a birth center, but I would bring my own gown anyway. My reasoning is that I'm going to feel much more comfortable and relaxed wearing something familiar. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/spinoff-did-you-buy-a-hospital-gown#post-201712 Tue, 26 Jun 2012 07:41:36 +0000 Andrea 201712@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Haha. That is gross. But it is gross enough thinking about all the bodily fluids that have leaked onto the gown! </p> <p>I used the hospital gown during delivery but then I changed into my own nursing dress and robe. I was so much more comfortable so I'm glad that I did that even though everyone tells you not to bring your own clothes. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/spinoff-did-you-buy-a-hospital-gown#post-201698 Tue, 26 Jun 2012 07:15:27 +0000 heffalump 201698@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yuck. But I still wouldn't buy my own. I wanted to be in their gowns the whole time, so I'd need lots of them. I had a bad tear so it hurt to move. It was just easier to be in their stuff for going to the bathroom and when the nurses would come check my who-ha. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/spinoff-did-you-buy-a-hospital-gown#post-201695 Tue, 26 Jun 2012 07:10:48 +0000 Mrs. Tricycle 201695@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I don't really care about the dead people, but I like the idea of wearing my own gown because I think it might make me feel more comfortable - the ordeal seems more "homey" or somehow less scary, if you get to wear YOUR stuff throughout the whole process. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/spinoff-did-you-buy-a-hospital-gown#post-201648 Tue, 26 Jun 2012 03:05:01 +0000 anonysquire 201648@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I don't want to speak for all hospitals, but the 2 hospitals I have worked at in Utah always keep the gowns after patients die. I really have never thought of this. But does that mean you will be bringing your own sheets and blankets as well? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/spinoff-did-you-buy-a-hospital-gown#post-201619 Tue, 26 Jun 2012 00:13:33 +0000 pinkcupcake 201619@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I didn't think to buy a hospital gown for my delivery, but that one is super cute! If I was pregnant I'd definitely buy one :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/spinoff-did-you-buy-a-hospital-gown#post-201597 Mon, 25 Jun 2012 22:24:11 +0000 matador84 201597@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Gross!!! I went to the link to but &amp; they are out of my size. Darn...there is always etsy, but that price is awesome! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/spinoff-did-you-buy-a-hospital-gown#post-201346 Mon, 25 Jun 2012 14:58:28 +0000 rachiecakes 201346@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>yeah, that doesn't bother me a bit - I learned not to look at the toilet on the labor and delivery floor though, lol.. gross</p> <p>I had a gown around me when I first got there but when I actually gave birth I was wearing a nursing tank hiked up. There was no longer a need for the gown. After I was properly stitched, I put on my bathrobe and pajamas. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/spinoff-did-you-buy-a-hospital-gown#post-201281 Mon, 25 Jun 2012 13:52:04 +0000 DillonLion 201281@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I have no evidence to back this up, but I just assume that any gowns that people die in don't go back into the rotation. </p> <p>But thinking about laboring moms bleeding all over the gown I will potentially wear grosses me out just as much. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/spinoff-did-you-buy-a-hospital-gown#post-201274 Mon, 25 Jun 2012 13:47:57 +0000 Maysprout 201274@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I didn't wear my gown for long either and I would have just thrown it out if I had bought one. I saw the gown after delivery, it wasn't pretty, I'm glad I didn't have to do the clean up. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/spinoff-did-you-buy-a-hospital-gown#post-201273 Mon, 25 Jun 2012 13:47:43 +0000 autumnlove 201273@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I didn't buy one and prob won't but the one you bought is cute! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/spinoff-did-you-buy-a-hospital-gown#post-201255 Mon, 25 Jun 2012 13:26:24 +0000 looch 201255@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yeah, and someone could have died in the bed, so where do you draw the line? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/spinoff-did-you-buy-a-hospital-gown#post-201193 Mon, 25 Jun 2012 12:24:01 +0000 joyjoy 201193@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I thought about it briefly only because I know that no hospital gown will fit me, so it'll be annoying to move around (but now that you mention it, it gives me the willies). Then this weekend my parents saw some cute hospital delivery gowns at a baby show and decided I HAD to have one. :-P So now I have one, and my mom is going to try to copy it to make another so I can have a labor gown and one for after. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/spinoff-did-you-buy-a-hospital-gown#post-201184 Mon, 25 Jun 2012 12:17:47 +0000 Sweet T 201184@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I had good intentions of making one but I never got around to it. My family got a good laugh every time I said "Somebody could have died in the hospital gown" or "It might have old vomit on it." hahaha! I ended up not caring AT ALL. I wore the hospital gown for my entire stay.</p> <p>Btw, $10 is a STEAL for a personal hospital gown! Those things can be pricey!! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/spinoff-did-you-buy-a-hospital-gown#post-201127 Mon, 25 Jun 2012 11:42:21 +0000 HabesBabe 201127@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>LOL that is kinda creepy... but all of the maternity gowns at my hospital are for baby mamas only. I guess someone still could have died in the same gown I'll wear, but the odds aren't as high. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/spinoff-did-you-buy-a-hospital-gown#post-201121 Mon, 25 Jun 2012 11:38:23 +0000 chopsuey 201121@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Bleh. Never thought of it that way!. I took my gown off almost right away after I took a shower. Put a nursing cami and had comfy pants on during my stay. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/spinoff-did-you-buy-a-hospital-gown#post-201119 Mon, 25 Jun 2012 11:37:44 +0000 MamaMoose 201119@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Hahaha no this would never even cross my mind. The thing is... they bleach the crap out of hospital linens! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/spinoff-did-you-buy-a-hospital-gown#post-201107 Mon, 25 Jun 2012 11:26:24 +0000 LivsMama 201107@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Ewwwwwww I never thought of it that way! GROSS! Im totally ordering one for next time now .Luckily I only wore the hospital gown for my actual c-section. I stripped it off right after and had them put me in a maxi dress and stayed in that </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/spinoff-did-you-buy-a-hospital-gown#post-201095 Mon, 25 Jun 2012 11:17:11 +0000 mrs. wagon 201095@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I never thought I'd do this, but I was watching the latest Jim Gaffigan special (Mr. Universe... soooo funny) and he pointed out that someone could have just died in the hospital gown you put on!! Normally that kind of stuff doesn't phase me but for some reason it really hit home... so I started looking for maternity hospital gowns just for fun, and stumbled across this one for just $10!</p> <p><a href="http://babybeminematernity.3dcartstores.com/Molly-Delivery-Gownie-2010-Stock_p_137.html" rel="nofollow">http://babybeminematernity.3dcartstores.com/Molly-Delivery-Gownie-2010-Stock_p_137.html</a></p> <p>So I ordered it! Got a coupon code so with shipping it was like $13 total. Can't go wrong with that, right? :) </p> <p>I figure I'll just wear the hospital's gown for delivery, then change into this asap, and if I feel like it, I'll change into my own nightgown/robe afterwards. </p>
