If you've worn the hospital gown for birth, you know the discomfort.  

This time around, this mama chooses a Pretty Pushers gown for mobility...specifically for side lunges during labor!  Her doula cheers her along.

No need to pull up my hospital gown to check my fetal monitors?  Take that, Johnnie!  

Women reflect on their own birth and how important it was to bring their own labor gown, rather than feeling diminished in the hospital gown.  

It feels so great to get the birth you want.

How Birth Feels

Not that we should necessarily be concerned with how we 'look' in the first photo we take with our new baby...but in years to come...people will look at that photo and know how we felt.  Will we remember how we felt?  Of course!  Were we one of the hospital's ill patients?  NO?  Well why would we wear their unisex patient gowns that sick people wear, then?  If we felt the strength, femininity, and confidence that we approached labor with, well by all means, lets show it afterwards!  #ownyourlabor #prettypushers #ididitmyway
