What did you wear in birth pool?

[ItchyFoot]

If you gave birth in a birth pool at a hospital did you wear anything on top?

First time My family guy PJ top. I was desperate to get in.
Second time I had a bikini top on and didn't put my bottoms on.

First time, vest top

Second time, just a bra

Nothing

Nothing!

I whipped all my clothes off in a couple of seconds and waddled over to the pool, I was in the pushing stage and didn't give a shit about anything!

It's my second dc but I didn't get to go in the pool last time. Just debating whether to wear a bra or just go naked. I gave birth to dd in a comfy bra and vest top in a bed.

Mumsnet was evidently really keen on making sure you all knew I was STARK NAKED with that double post!

I always wondered this. I thought that OBEM might have made everyone think that they need to wear a bikini - but maybe people do?

I was planning on wearing nothing but didn't get to in the end

Haha Ninja it's good to know

I suppose it's more whether to bother packing something in my bag because mid labour I'll just go with whatever feels right.

I wore a bra.

Pack something just in case. Would be very annoying if you didn't and decided you wanted it.

Thanks itchy

I actually completely forgot to pack something for the pool, so when the midwife asked if I wanted to get in and what I was wearing I already had my dress over my head, she'd seen enough of me for me to be embarrassed by this point! Maybe take a bikini top or T-shirt so you have the option?

Crop top/bra thingy. I have big baps and didn't want them getting in the way!

Also nothing here

I wore a "secret support" vest.

I've just been wondering the same... I don't think I'll care about being starkers if actually in the water, but how much do you have to get in and out of the pool?

I went in wearing my bra but whipped it off after about two minutes as it was getting heavy and annoying me. I threw it across the room, showgirl stylee.

I wore a jml sports bra type thing, rather than a strappy bra.

I wore nothing.

Once I was in the pool didn't have to get out again until a wee while after baby delivered.

Nothing first time, as hadn't planned on it. Didn't care about being starkers tbh!

Brought a bikini top for second, mostly because dh insists on photographing everything.

A sleep bra crop top thing, I got out when I was pushing as was hot and bothered, rest of labour I was wore nothing and had a fan on me, utter bliss lol

Nothing

I was wearing a vest top when the pool was ready so just kept that on as I was already pushing!
