✨ What should I wear in labour? ✨
The short answer? Whatever makes you feel comfortable, confident, and most like you.
Labour isn’t a fashion show, but feeling comfortable in what you’re wearing can make a real difference. Think soft, loose-fitting clothing that allows you to move freely and helps you feel relaxed. Many women choose an oversized tee, comfortable nightie, sports bra, crop top, or labour gown.
Some hospitals may ask you to change into a hospital gown, particularly if you choose to have an epidural or if additional monitoring is needed. But in the lead-up to that, you’re usually free to wear whatever feels right for you.
We’re big fans of .mother beautiful range of maternity, birth and postpartum essentials. Their supportive, elevated and thoughtfully designed products are created with the realities of pregnancy, birth and life after baby in mind - helping you feel comfortable while still feeling like yourself.
Remember, labour is about finding what works for you. Comfort first, always. 🤍
