What did you wear in birth pool?

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

Nothing - as soon as the pool was ready I couldn't whip all of my clothes off fast enough, definitely some sort of primal urge as I'm normally a bit of a prude!

nothing

Molehillfromamountain · 12/10/2016 21:43

Nothing...I didn't give 2 hoots!

Ibjad at home water birth and wore a bikini top. It was 16 hours in and out of the pool and my 5 yr old was at ho too so didn't want to completely traumatise her!

A vest top for both of my water births

Justwanttoweeinpeace · 12/10/2016 21:51

Maternity crop top until the end. Then took it off when DS turned up Grin

Nothing! Could not have cared less by that point

Justwanttoweeinpeace · 12/10/2016 21:53

I didn't care either. I just forgot to take it off really. I had no clue what was happening with all the lovely lovely G&A.

Nothing. Clothes even a bra felt way too hot and tight.

Buffythebabywearer · 14/10/2016 16:11

Nothing. Packed a bikini top but was way beyond knowing what was going on.

I had a tankini and just whipped off the bottoms to push. Then the tankini top had clips to breastfeed but, really, at that point, you might as well be naked.

KondosSecretJunkRoom · 14/10/2016 16:22

Grin "whipped" ha, only in my drug addled mind would it have approached 'whipping' off the bottoms, with hindsight I imagine it was a less swift process.

LifeBeginsNow · 14/10/2016 16:28

I expected to have nothing on the bottom half and a tankini on the top.

When it came to it, I was so hot I just pulled everything off and waddled over to the pool. It's true what they say about not caring!

A bra

strandedabroad · 14/10/2016 16:30

Nothing!

TinyTemperamental · 14/10/2016 16:32

A bra but it got wet and took that off too. I couldn't be bothered at that time.

BreatheDeep · 14/10/2016 16:34

Nothing. I did have a vest top in my bag in case I wanted it but when it came to it I was just desperate to get in so just stripped off and climbed in
