Baby Be Mine Labor and Delivery Gown for Hospital – 3-in-1 Labor/Delivery/Nursing Gown – Maternity Sleepwear

This was the BEST purchase I made in prep for my delivery! It was great! Super comfy and easy to use! Great quality ant a great price! Its access to all the dif areas was prefect for hospital staff or nursing while also providing comfort and modesty when visitors came or when access was not needed. I got so many compliments on the bright fun color! I absolutely will be ordering again for baby number 2! Great for at home use also postpartum! I will note the fabric felt a little stiff at first but wash it a few times before you throw it in your hospital bag and you will be in good shape!

I would recommend this product and was very glad to have it myself.In my opinion, this dress is pretty enough to be worn normally.I thought that material was soft and comfortable. It is 100% cotton and feels durable. I thought it might be a one time use but it held up perfectly and I hope to use it for my future deliveries.The snaps are easy to use.The openings are well placed. The back is perfect and allowed access for massage and essential oils. The straps unbutton at the top for skin to skin and nursing. The front skirt portion can pull open for access to belly. Important positive note, the front skirt does not fall openThere is a cinch at the waist that falls right above a pregnant belly and is very flattering.The cinch is long and I found it got in the way during labor.

This seems like a long review for a hospital gown, but I'm sharing some stuff I would have liked to have known. I originally bought this gown in black, and after I received that one and tried it on, my husband convinced me to get a second color as well. I'm so glad he did! I picked the grey polka dots. I wore the black one for my labor. I was so comfortable! I kept the back unbuttoned from about halfway down, so it was always easy for the nurse to access my monitors and things. I received several compliments from the staff. At first I was told I could wear it for my csection (babe was stuck in the birth canal with the cord around her throat), but the anesthesiologist asked me to put on a regular gown. We ended up just throwing the black one away as it was pretty messy and we didn't want to have to keep track of a dress covered in amniotic fluid for a couple days. But I've basically lived in the grey one since my surgery Monday night (I'm writing this early Thursday morning). Hubs even went home to wash it for me.A couple things: the black one was A LOT softer than the grey dots one. I washed both before I packed them, but the grey was a stiffer, like the feel of a fabric with something printed on it. Not necessarily uncomfortable, I just preferred the feel of the black. Also, the black was stretchier. The black hung loose on me pretty much everywhere. The grey doesn't give as much, so it's a little more fitted. I have to pull it down past my chest because the empire waist will sort of ride up, and I'm not that big-busted. A chestier woman might find it annoying. Once I washed the grey a second time, it was a little softer and more forgiving, but not much.The strings are super long, so I'd suggest cutting them before wearing in the hospital.When breastfeeding/pumping, there's nothing to keep the back straps up like in a nursing bra, so sometimes the set of snaps toward the back fall, and it's hard to get snapped back up. I've felt pain in my insicion area while trying to twist get them. I've found that if I can't just grab them, I turn the dress, snap back up without my arm in the hole, the slide my arm through after it's buttoned.I'm 5'1", normally a size 16 prepregnancy and ordered the M/L in both colors. Like I said, the black was looser, but both fit comfortably. Someone tall might find the dress a bit short.I'd highly recommend this, and if I have more children, I will definitely get this again. I'm looking forward to having it at home for nursing. Even with all the snaps, it will make a great nightgown/house dress for maternity leave.

I knew I wanted my own delivery gown (let's face it, hospital gowns are awkward, stiff, and way too lose) but the options are a little overwhelming. I finally chose this one, though since I looked at so many and read lots of reviews, I can't remember exactly why I chose this one over others. Probably a combination of good reviews, a decent price, and cute patterns.Cons:- not as soft as I expected, it's a little rough but definitely better than the hospital ones. Just not soft enough for me to want to wear much at home- the draw strings in the front are way too long, they get caught when I sit down, bend over, or when I am holding baby- there's one button on the backside that just won't stay buttoned. Not sure if this is a size issue or just a particular clasp that maybe is messed upPros:- Super cute patterns- easily accessible for epidural, being checked by nurses/doctors, and breast feeding- as already mentioned, way better than the hospital gown. It fits better and is more comfortableI had a c section because baby was breech and wouldn't turn. So I had no choice but to wear the hospital gown for surgery (which also means I didn't have a messy labor/delivery in the gown so mine stayed nice and clean). I was sore and out of sorts the first night so I didn't change into this gown right away. But I fidgeted and pulled at the hospital one all night long, uncomfortable with how it kept falling off my shoulders, would get tangled between my legs, and was rough on my bare skin. I changed into my gown the next day and was immediately more comfortable and was able to sleep better. I got multiple compliments from the hospital staff on my gown, saying that it was cute and one of the more practical ones they have seen (easy for then to check you and take vitals).I had a few people, including the doctor before delivery and a friend who had a baby a couple months before me, that a delivery gown is unnecessary and I probably wouldn't use it (they both had one with them for their deliveries and didn't use them) but for me, it was totally worth it and I'm so glad I bought it and was able to change into it. It definitely made the rest of my hospital stay and recovery more comfortable. And anything that adds to your comfort after having a baby is definitely worth it in my opinion!
