Who was after slips/petticoats? This site also does washable 'bedtime pants' for children...

I am looking for a labour/nursing (ie lots of buttons) nightdress (honest!) and came across this site. I remember someone was after some petticoats or something for adults a while back and this site seems to do them, also (no idea if other places do them, first I've seen) washable nappy pants (they call them incontinence pants which I can't seem to bring myself to do ) from about 2/3 + for children, also boxers for boys They also do (but I have seen them elsewhere) bigger cup and backsize nursing bras here

my concerns were more practical than sartorial - in case you couldn't get the blood stains out your lovely fresh white seersucker nightie with broiderie anglaise trims

i wore scabby old stuff and binned it afterwards

I think cutting your clothing in an emergency is pretty rare - though i have a friend who delivered her baby into her baggy joggers. just as well she was wearing them really as she was standing outside the hospital door at the time

Well, it's just a need a nightie (for obvious reasons) and I don;t want to have it hitched under my chin to feed until I get changed into PJs (or have to stay in a nightie anyway due to epidural and catheter). I did buy some cheap ones last time from peacocks that had buttons but they were very very short, so thought as long as they don't go cutting me out of it in an emergency I would just buy some full length full or part buttoned ones, and then wash and use after. The ones in motheracre are very short too (and I am a short person), and they are £22 for 2 anyway I think. Soooo... am resorting to granny nighties And getting abit excited over broderie trims and what not Have already been moaning on another thread I have 'lost' the seersucker dressing gown I had ear marked... I had better buy whatever quickly though, I am seeing bed jackets in a whole new light!

Err, sorry for the waffling...

nope, i was just a bit surprised you were thinking of wearing a lovely new nightie for labour and ...ahem...afterwards

but you obviously know what you are doing by now

Nope, 3rd Am I well behind the times for the 'bedtime pants', I have been spending a fortune on them (disposable) for DS1 !
