I was really worried about what to wear during labour, I guess cuz I felt a little shy! I think I may have even posted a thread much like this one while I played the waiting game.
When I was still at home I had a few showers and changed clothes, each time just opting for something comfortable. Ended up wearing a pair of light 3/4 pants & a slightly longer short sleeved top to birthcare. (My theory was that if I was feeling exposed then at least the top was longer so I felt like it covered more, lol.)
In the end I spent most of the final stages of labour in the pool - and christened the maternity tankini that I'd never worn. The good thing about that is that our first pics of me & Bethany are decent cuz I was still wearing the top part of the tankini. That soon went when she started BFing tho
And the hospital gowns were great for afterwards - I was just so hot all the time and they gave me air flow unlike my own pjs when I tried them on.
PS one of the best things I had for afterwards was disposable briefs (from maternity direct online). Meant I didn't even need to think about washing the granny knickers at first cuz these ones went straight in the bin
