Argh. Just when I bagged J.Lo for having custom-made hospital gowns, some clever woman is now capitalising on the trend by producing 'Girlie' gowns for birth because, as she says, 'your delivery should be girly and not grungy'. These gowns have the exact same cut and embarassing open flaps at the back as the standard hospital gowns:
"The top half of the back is open (got to be accessible for that epidural, right?)"
Is an open flap for an epidural really a selling point? I'm not EVEN going to go there.
Nevertheless, they are charging $49(!) for a bloody piece of fabric that has polka dots and ribbon. Seriously!
If you were so concerned about wearing a hospital gown, wouldn't you choose to not wear one at all? Or to wear your own clothes? Why would you participate in such a ridiculous hospital ritual by having a friggin monogrammed gown?
Having a baby is one of the few times in a woman's life when she shouldn't have to worry about how she looks.
Birth is not an event in which women need another reason to buy a new outfit.
