A labor gown, also known as a childbirth gown or delivery gown, is a piece of clothing worn by a woman during labor and delivery. The main purpose of a labor gown is to provide comfort and warmth to the mother during what can be a physically demanding and emotional experience. labor gowns are typically made of flexible and breathable materials such as cotton, cotton-polyester blends, or rayon, and may feature back openings, adjustable straps, and other features to increase comfort and convenience. Some labor gowns are designed with specific features in mind, such as open backs for epidural access or shoulder straps for nursing. Labor gowns are often provided by hospitals to ensure that the mother's body is easily accessible to medical staff for monitoring and procedures during labor. Additionally, some women choose to bring their own labor gowns to the hospital, preference for the feel and look of a particular brand, or due to skin sensitivity to the materials used in hospital-provided gowns.
