It is the worst part (worse than labor at least then you get a roomier hospital gown) with my daughter! Having to get your big round belly not to mention the abundance of chest that comes with it - into one of those thin paper gowns. My doctor doesn't even use blue ones.. She has ones that resemble strands of toilet paper with arm holes.. <BR/>Unfortunately no alternatives have come up. But your story did add a much needed laugh.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11021687006122178945noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7580431149406245496.post-52248296035485087572009-01-29T11:05:00.000-08:002009-01-29T11:05:00.000-08:00I hate those gowns!

Our whole family is high risk and I get to be the "freckled" one who resembles an astronomy chart. Had my first one removed last year, no biggie. But definately something to keep an eye on. Thankfully, I just go to my family Dr. and she keeps a good eye on me.Major.Sunshinehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18302450586278684848noreply@blogger.com
