3 in 1 Labor/Delivery/Nursing Hospital Gown Baby Be Mine Maternity Gown Hospital Bag Must Have

I’m a bit over 80kg, 36 weeks pregnant and s/m is a perfect fit. Stretchy and well covering. I’m ready for my delivery!

Edit: I ended up wearing this only post-delivery. When asked, since the gown had metal button snaps on it, I was told by nursing staff that this would not be allowable for labor and delivery in case there was an emergency, patients aren't allowed to have metal on them for safety reasons. Still worth it for post-delivery, great for easy-access peri care/hygiene and breastfeeding. Original review: Pre-pregnancy, weight, height, and size: 140 pounds, 5 foot seven, bra 36C, small/medium. Current nine month pregnancy, weight and size: 180 pounds size large in normal clothes, size medium/large in maternity clothes, bra 38D. I ordered the size L/XL, just in case, and it’s very roomy on me. If it didn’t have the drawstring in the waistband, then I would return for the S/M size. However, I’m close to my due date so I’d rather have too big of a size than exchange. There is stretch elastic around the sleeves and neck line (see photo) to allow a little bit of extra stretch in those areas. However, I wouldn’t classify this fabric as very stretchy. It’s thin, but comfy, and non see through (in green floral print). I would definitely recommend washing before use and wear because it has a bad smell. But the tag does say 100% cotton and tumble dry low so I hope to shrink this a little bit in the dryer on high heat. Overall, looking forward to wearing this vs hospital gown on delivery day. Will update after washing/wearing if any issues. The only thing that would make it more perfect would be to add pockets!

Bought a second one to wear around the house after coming home from the hospital. It’s convenient to nurse with the shoulder snaps and cute enough to wear around the house to lounge in while on maternity leave. Can wear it as a night gown too! The easy fold over front makes it easy to go to the bathroom while recovering. I’d definitely recommend getting 2 or more!

This is what I chose to wear at the hospital when giving birth to my daughter. It was a natural childbirth and it remained comfortable throughout changing positions. It worked well for skin to skin time after birth and for nursing shortly after. I chose the navy and it washed well. I wore it at home as it accommodated nursing. I am very happy with my purchase. I am 5 foot. Normally about 140 but was at 160 at time of delivery.

This seems like a long review for a hospital gown, but I'm sharing some stuff I would have liked to have known. I originally bought this gown in black, and after I received that one and tried it on, my husband convinced me to get a second color as well. I'm so glad he did! I picked the grey polka dots. I wore the black one for my labor. I was so comfortable! I kept the back unbuttoned from about halfway down, so it was always easy for the nurse to access my monitors and things. I received several compliments from the staff. At first I was told I could wear it for my csection (babe was stuck in the birth canal with the cord around her throat), but the anesthesiologist asked me to put on a regular gown. We ended up just throwing the black one away as it was pretty messy and we didn't want to have to keep track of a dress covered in amniotic fluid for a couple days. But I've basically lived in the grey one since my surgery Monday night (I'm writing this early Thursday morning). Hubs even went home to wash it for me. A couple things: the black one was A LOT softer than the grey dots one. I washed both before I packed them, but the grey was a stiffer, like the feel of a fabric with something printed on it. Not necessarily uncomfortable, I just preferred the feel of the black. Also, the black was stretchier. The black hung loose on me pretty much everywhere. The grey doesn't give as much, so it's a little more fitted. I have to pull it down past my chest because the empire waist will sort of ride up, and I'm not that big-busted. A chestier woman might find it annoying. Once I washed the grey a second time, it was a little softer and more forgiving, but not much. The strings are super long, so I'd suggest cutting them before wearing in the hospital. When breastfeeding/pumping, there's nothing to keep the back straps up like in a nursing bra, so sometimes the set of snaps toward the back fall, and it's hard to get snapped back up. I've felt pain in my insicion area while trying to twist get them. I've found that if I can't just grab them, I turn the dress, snap back up without my arm in the hole, the slide my arm through after it's buttoned. I'm 5'1", normally a size 16 prepregnancy and ordered the M/L in both colors. Like I said, the black was looser, but both fit comfortably. Someone tall might find the dress a bit short. I'd highly recommend this, and if I have more children, I will definitely get this again. I'm looking forward to having it at home for nursing. Even with all the snaps, it will make a great nightgown/house dress for maternity leave.

Soft and just as seen in picture.
