Whether you’re planning to give birth at home or in hospital, at some point you’ll need to make the slightly bizarre decision about what to wear when you’re actually in labour. I opted for the baggy t-shirt / maternity nightie on both occasions but if I had discovered The Birthing Shirt Company I know what I would have put on my wish list.
Made of bamboo-jersey their super soft birthing shirt is just the thing. It’s stretchy, breathable and it looks good, giving you a little confidence and comfort when you’re having those first photos taken with your new arrival.
It might sound a little extravagant to buy something specifically to wear during labour but you’ll find yourself getting plenty of wear out of this - as a maternity nightie, and after your baby is born. It has bandy buttons down the front making it perfect for breastfeeding.
Time to treat yourself. £35.99 for one or £59.98 for two, www.thebirthingshirtcompany.com.
