With my 2nd my water ruptured and I was in labor for over a week and a 1/2 before they induced me. I wasn't even allowed to take a shower because I had an IV drip in each arm. Let's just say when she was finally here, the shower I took felt like heaven.My first I took more than one nightie and thank god I did as I ended up in there over a week... They actually prefer woman to wear nothing or hospital gowns incase they need to give you a quick spinal or epidural... I ended up but naked with both haha the last thing you think of is a fashion perade lol....xx
