Bra's during delivery

30 replies

Hi!
Can anyone recommend what I should wear for delivery?
I'm quite flat chested, don't want to go braless, but don't know what kind of bra to buy which will still be comfortable!
Thank you!

Take a thick baggy t shirt so if you don't want to wear a bra you can still feel covered and not like you have nips on show.

Normally very shy I actually refused to put my leggings or shoes back on after the first examination and then walked to my delivery room in just a t-shirt and sunglasses (it was 2am so very quiet).

I’d go for the softest bralette or crop top you can find. It’s amazing what irritates when you are in labour.

🤣 i remember having these worries when i was pregnant. Ended up shoving a moschino tshirt on without even knowing what id put on because of the pain and the rush. I laboured in a damn moschino top until ring of fire where i quickly whipped it off cus i was too hot and birthed naked on all fours Grin my pretty well thought out nighties etc we're never even taken out from my bag 🤣

I wore a cheap crop top type thing, also quite flat chested and only took it off when I got out of the pool as it was wet, but I had these afterwards which were amazing, so definitely would be comfortable in labour too www.jojomamanbebe.co.uk/2-pack-maternity-nursing-sleep-bras-a9252.html

@IDK2020 Yeah, you get a hospital gown and you're naked under it. I have photos of me in hospital wearing pyjamas, so I must have changed at some point after my catheter came out.
