Pretty Pushers Cotton Jersey Labor Gown

Absolutely loved this gown. I was being induced and was afraid it wouldnt work for the monitoring that needed to be done but it was perfect. Every single nurse I had in the 36hr process loved it too. It fit great, was super comfy, allowes easy access for monitoring and epidural and was very flattering. It also allowed quick access for skin to skin amd breastfeeding.Now for all the 1 star reviews.... yes it is not hemmed. It seems like an unfinished piece of fabric but that's the beauty. For one, it has zero spots that might irritate your skin. Also, let's face it, labor and delivery is a messy business and unless you plan on attempting to wash this, it's a toss away item anyway. So no need to waste time and stitches on hemming.Only cons for me, it is a tad difficult to figure out how to put on the first time. The strings have no rhyme or reason when it first comes out of the package but once you get it sorted it's great. The price is also a bit high but I have zero regrets getting it.Highly recommended!! I just wish I'd had it with my first delivery, too!

I'm wearing the plus sized version and I have to say, I love it! I was worried it'd be to big since my bump isn't the biggest (I'm 37 weeks in this picture) and I was literally fluxing between a 16 and an 18 pre-pregnancy (stupid egg retrieval weight gain... Sigh! Gained 30 lbs with that! LOL) I love how soft but light it is; I was amazed by how much coverage there actually is considering how much is exposed. I AM going to add just a tiny bit of material to the top since my nipples are slightly visible (head's up if you're not a pink nipple girl!) Since hospital's have yet to make a truly plus sized gown, this is a life saver in SO many ways. Thanks a million!I have to add... This is not meant to be a gown you buy and save for forever - there's a reason it's made the way it is. The people complaining about quality clearly don't get that it's a cheap dress to bleed, poop and squirt amniotic fluid all over. It washed extremely well, but I don't know that I even want it after all of that. Buy a nice nighty for photos and after labor; this dress is a work horse, not an heirloom.*****UPDATE******I gave birth 5/5/17 after 39 hours of labor via c-section. This dress was worth the money even though you end up in a Johnny in the OR - I was able to move through all of my labor with the essentials covered because the monitors were accessible. I got a Cooks cathider and didn't flash the world, got my water broken (just lifted the back hem) and at hour 34 I got an epidural WEARING the dress. I felt beautiful despite the pain and lack of progress. I don't count the hours of waiting with the cervical ripener or cathider as part of my 39 hours, so it was three and a half days of laboring... I know it probably sounds stupid but I felt like this was my suit of armor and that helped me get back to fighting.I have washed it post delivery and it is in great condition. Mine didn't shrink or roll overly much.I'm still going to highly recommend this dress.

For the price, I was astonished at the immensely cheap quality. It's a good thing this is a one-time, then throw away, use! I regret buying it, especially when the packaging so clearly states if you open it, you cannot return it. That's not normal for Amazon, where we buy, try, and return (usually just leaving tags on) regularly. I would never buy this brand again.Updated: I also ordered the Smart Hospital Delivery Gown. It came today, and the quality difference is night and day. I can't believe anyone would even call the Pretty Pushers scrap of fabric a labor gown. It's laughably bad, and for essentially the same price (I think they're less than $5 apart). THIS is the dress I will wear. Pretty Pushers labels very clearly that if the "gown" is even taken out of the packaging, at all, you can't return it. So now I'm stuck with this piece of junk instead. HERE is the link for the other Smart gown I received and WILL be wearing.https://smile.amazon.com/gp/product/B00S5MLFD6/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o06_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1

I really wanted to like this. I read all of the reviews and should have listened to those pointing out the poor quality. 2 stars only because the concept is good, even if the execution is terrible. All edges are unhemmed, the fabric is stiff and unpleasant (would likely be softer after washing), and I wash surprised by the weight of the garment. It pulled at my neck when I tried it on and knew immediately it would be far too annoying to wear during labor. It will be going back.

Lovely

I bought this color because it was on sale and I’m glad I did. In its defence, it’s exactly what they promised. Having said that, it’s covered in unfinished hems and edges, the ties all have raw edges, and the headband it came with was just a rectangle of fabric. If you can buy it for less than $30 you’ll be satisfied, if you spend the $60 for other colours, you will be disappointed.It’s clear it’s designed for one wear and then to be immediately thrown out, so don’t plan it as an investment piece for all your future labour’s.

Ordered this to use once. Wore this during my delivery, my nurses loved it and so did I. So comfy, better than a gown if you need IV during labour which I did, and very easy to work with, and obviously great that it's very thin material if you're warm/hot during labour process !! recommend +++ and will get another one for my next baby. I threw mine away after delivery since I only paid 20$ for it but if you get the more expensive colours, I'd wash it and keep it.

I couldn't get over the idea that I wouldn't know who wore the hospital gown before me.. or what happened in it. Are you also an overthinker? Get this labor gown. Pre pregnancy size between 16-18.. Plus size fit well, can tie tightly enough to keep front ties closed. Comfortable materia..without worrying about the gown falling off (if that's even a remote concern in the throes of labor contractions).
