Who knows if this is how it will go, but right now I'm hoping to labor in the bath tub, both at home and once I get to the hospital, for as long as I can (not planning on a water birth though). My sort of silly question is-- what did you wear while doing that? In TV and the movies, because real life childbirth is always JUST like the movies, I usually see women with what looks like a sports bra on top and then you never see anything below the belly.

So, did you wear a gown or robe while you were out then strip to just a sports bra or nursing bra in the tub, nothing on bottom? Or, something else? I know lots of people say all modesty goes away during birth, so I believe you, but I want to bring whatever will make it most comfortable.

And yes, I do realize that once I'm in active labor my wardrobe will probably be the least of my concerns!
