Our original bestselling Lila gown is designed with actual labor in mind. Created by a Labor and Delivery Nurse, these gowns are intended to provide accessibility to your medical team, while still being stylish and comfortable for you. • High-quality, butter smooth, stretch material - Did you know, for some women, sensations are experienced differently in labor? A texture that may feel fine normally can become irritating and distracting during labor. The material for this labor and delivery gown is soft enough to keep you comfortable. • Low back - perfect to provide accessibility for epidural placement and/or massage. • Opens at the belly - Most hospital gowns for labor do not open in the front. This means fetal monitor cords hang in front of your legs. This can be annoying and distracting. Our labor gowns open down the middle of your belly to keep these cords out of the way of your legs. • Two inside ties and full coverage - Many women say they did not have enough privacy during labor. Some labor gowns are small and revealing. Hospital gowns usually open all the way down the back. They have no way to stay fully closed. Our delivery gowns are made with 3/4 sleeves, and two inside ties to keep your gown closed without sacrificing accessibility. • Opens at the chest - The front of this gown opens completely at the chest for skin to skin immediately after birth. The front of the labor gown features snaps, making it easy to open if your delivery is fast!
