Jennifer Lopez plans to give birth in a designer hospital gown... and so can you.
Kelly wrote about J. Lo's birth costume on Strollerderby this week, and I confess that ever since I read her post, I've been haunted by the idea that you can actually buy a special outfit for childbirth. I buy new pajamas when I have to stay in the hospital, sure, but it never occurred to me to worry about fashion while delivering a baby. (I'll spare you all of the gross euphemisms I came up with to end this sentence.)
Here's a sample of designer birthwear options that I found:
B.Y.O.G. stands for Bring Your Own Gown. According to the website, BYOGs are the "unique alternative to drab, used maternity hospital gown." The floral pattern is probably a good idea-- I imagine that it will hide stains well. Childbirth is wicked messy.

J.Lo plans to wear this DearJohnnies gown in the hospital. It's similar to the one that Tori Spelling reportedly wore when her son Liam was born.

Spirited Sisters makes Healing Threads, designer hospital gowns made from soft, stain-repellent microfiber fabric. A smart fabric choice, in my opinion. Did I mention that things get messy in the hospital?


Patients at the Hackensack University Medical Center can wear hospital gowns designed by Nicole Miller and made from one of her distinctive print fabrics. HUMD also offers a special line of Nicole Miller infant and pediatric wear.
