What Should a Birth Doula Wear to a Birth?

Описание: A birth doula should wear clothing that's stretchy, comfortable, warm in the cool air con of the delivery suite and nothing with a busy pattern that will distract the labouring woman or annoy her. Earthy tones are good such as autumn tones to help feel grounded.
Bring flip flops or thongs to wear in the shower, have joggers on the rest of the time and bring a spare change of clothes and a warm top, bring a couple of good hair ties for your hair if you might need to tie it back.
Some don'ts are: avoid clothing that makes noise, any unusual distracting noisy sounds may be irritating to the woman in labour. Don't wear clothing with words or slogans or pictures on it as this can be distracting to the woman in labour if she focuses on it which can certainly happen when she's loaded with endorphins. If your shoes squeak around the floor, take them off and have a spare pair of nonslip socks like yoga socks to wear.
If there's a chance of using the bath for water immersion then you might want to have long sleeves that you can roll up so you don't get them soaking wet.
Oh and this is no time for fluro fashion!
