Being pregnant doesn’t mean being frumpy, even during labor! I don’t know about you, but when I was pregnant the first time around, I didn’t give much thought to what type of labor and maternity gown I would be wearing during child birth.
Wearing a stylish maternity gown was the last thing on my mind beyond packing a hospital bag. Needless to say the day we rushed to the hospital I was shocked when the nurses handed me a tattered old gown with holes.
I honestly thought this was temporary because I was having a c-section. Of course they would provide something much more elegant after baby arrives. Right??
Um, not exactly. What I got was the opportunity to wear the same disgusting gown the entire time I was in the hospital (4 days). Let’s just say I refused to have very few photos taken with my beautiful baby. I can find a total of 3 pictures with my first daughter while in the hospital.
The minute I got pregnant with #2, I knew this time would be different. I still had no idea stylish maternity gowns existed until I saw Tori Spelling give birth to her daughter Stella wearing a completely different type of maternity gown. She looked amazing!
Who cares that she’s a celebrity. I should be able to look cute too!
Must- Have Stylish Labor & Deliver Gowns
So many maternity brands products that are functional, affordable and of course comfortable. Her products include maternity belly bands, support bands, delivery gowns, Shade maternity shirts, nursing covers, baby slings and more.
Child birth isn’t always the most glamours occasion and in my case a c-section is major surgery, but if Tori Spelling and Bethenny Frankel (who wore the same gown giving birth to Byrn) can look cute why shouldn’t all moms to be??

Thanks for commenting! All my friends thought I was crazy for purchasing but I felt so much better wearing this and being photographed in the hospital.
