I mentioned earlier that I didn’t care for the standard issue hospital gowns. I’m not wearing this. I may be an arrogant ass, but I’m not wearing that for any period of time. My husband will be there for godssakes. It’s bad enough that I currently need my nails, brows, and roots done, but I’m not spending hours of labor in the medical equivalent of a gunny sack. I’ve seen some of those labor videos, and those women look atrocious.
(Those of you out there reading along and chuckling to yourselves thinking, “That’s what SHE thinks; just wait and see.” Keep your comments to yourself; I’m very grouchy.)
The Colonel has proffered his own labor outfit suggestion, and I have responded that it will be fine if he doesn’t mind our daughter growing up without a father. He thinks it would be “funny” for me to wear eyeblack and a UGA football jersey.
I found something on the internet called a “labor skirt.” It is supposedly designed to avoid the hospital gown while accommodating any necessary medical equipment from admission to delivery, including c-section. I imagine you have to just throw it away when it’s all said and done, but it’s a nice alternative to the gown.
