“The only thing I was sure of, prior to my daughter’s birth, was that I did not want to wear a hospital gown. Thank goodness for Binsi. I put my skirt on as soon as I got to the hospital, and I felt so good! What a difference from those hospital gowns.”

From www.birthinbinsi.com, which sells labor and birth apparel. You know, so you don’t have to wear those painful hospital gowns. Oh wait…maybe it wasn’t the gown that made the whole thing so painful. Anyhoo… they are only $38. So, I am sure everyone buys them. I heard JLo brought her own hospital gowns to the delivery, maybe these are the ones she had. But, back to my original prattle…”the only thing” you knew for sure is that you did not want to wear a hospital gown? Oh honey. Perhaps you should have paid more attention during your 15+ pre-natal appointments. If this was all you had going for you, I think you are lucky.

According to this website, you can also wear this skirt after a C-Section, because it will rest below the incision. Maybe its just me, but after my C-section I tried to hike everything WAY WAY up, not WAY WAY down. Sure, I did not want to touch the incision, but I had some other things I was trying to hold in, if you know what I mean. I am not even sure if could have kept up a pair of pants/skirt that sat below my incision. Mine is pretty low. If I wore my pants all the way down there, I would have 6 inches of underwear showing in the back every time I bent over and a crotch closer to my knees.

Although I sound negative, I must confess that I would totally have worn these skirts while I was actually pregnant…but not in labor and delivery! When its time for the actual labor and delivery, what I was wearing was the last thing on my mind. I, for one, enjoyed the paper underwear and droopy nightgowns they gave me. I brought my own stuff, but I never put it on. Why bother. I did not want to get too comfortable there. Get in, get out. Go home with baby. Get someone else’s stuff dirty, leave in clean clothes.

Just my humble opinion.
