Plus size nightdress for labour

I'm 37+5 today and true to form only just getting my hospital bags ready now!
I'm missing a few things which I'm hoping to get from Amazon tomorrow (for quick delivery and good price).
One of the things I really need is a nightshirt for during labour and also one for after I give birth
I usually just wear old clothes and pjs at home and don't have anything suitable.
I was a size 20 pre pregnancy and have really struggled to find anything 'maternity' that fits and is reasonably priced throughout. Best places I found were new look and matalan where I've just resorted to getting size 24 or 26 stuff.
I need size 26 front opening nightshirts that are cheap and will be delivered quickly (need to order online).
Any ideas?

thanks!

Oh, also would need to be dark colour to hide any stains etc! :)

Mothercare do a 2 pack of maternity nightdresses with poppers down the front for breastfeeding. Really comfy and I kept wearing them for months after the birth too! They do them in size XL which is 20+ and I'm sure would be fine for size 24-26 as they're really roomy and stretchy.

I really liked the mothercare ones, but for giving birth I just wore a top

I got one from marks and Spencer's for not too much maybe£10...I'm usually 16/18 so I got It ina size 22 but it's absolutely massive so I think would defo be ok for 24-26 size, it's cotton and buttons all the way .... Only problem is it isn't dark in colour.... It will do me though I hope

Sainsburys have some fab nightshirts in at the moment, I was a 14-16 pre-pregnancy and bought size 20, which leaves plenty of room. Think they go up to a size 26, and cost £12 each. They don't deliver clothing though.

I got mine from bonmarche not very trendy but did the job and was 9 pound fit very well and was lovly and long

I got mine from yours clothing but they aren't front opening, I'll just pull it up as my bottom half will be covered anyway and baby will hide my tummy

i ended up wearing my day clothes during labour as baby came quick tbh i think a long tshirt or similar would be good enough i found mothercare maternity wear very roomy
