What did you wear to labour in?

Hi - might seem like a really silly question but I'm wondering what people wore to labour in? Am thinking t-shirt or cotton nightie but what about breastfeeding - do I want buttons? Or did you labour then change into something new straight away? How hot will I get? Will I be wandering in corridors looking for a toilet so need more than t-shirt and/or dressing gown? When does all the bleeding start? Hope you get the gist of my questions - probably worrying too much Thanks

primark, short nightie, with buttons that went from top to below bust line.

cheap, in case you want to bin it. or just not wear anything (some women like to labour naked)
buttons, for breast feeding.
long enough to cover my butt, if needed. and short enough to hitch up around my waist without being in the way.

oh yeah...also had a breast pocket, perfect size for storing my tens machine when i went to the loo.

Thanks guys Just the feedback I needed.
This site is great - think I'll just go with the big t-shirt thing.
