Personally, I didn’t care how I looked or what I wore during my birth.  (Or truthfully I don’t care much about that very much at all)  I am all about comfort!  The hospital gowns were fine with me.

Some moms don’t like to wear them, because a hospital gown makes them feel like a patient.  They can choose to wear a big t-shirt or a skirt and tank top.  You don’t HAVE to wear a hospital gown, even if you birth in a hospital.  That is up to you!

If you want the convenience of the hospital gown, but want to look cute.  Check out this link to Labor Looks.  I think these are a great idea!    I don’t think you NEED one, but if you can afford it and you WANT one, go for it!
