This is hands down, without a doubt, the absolute best thing you will purchase for your pregnancy.  Trust me, I'm super picky about quality, and this way surpassed my expectations. I bought this for my daughter in law along with a couple of others (from the same company), and a couple from a different company (which did not fit) and no question, this was the best. I would recommend this to anyone wanting a quality product that can be used before, during and after their pregnancy. (By the way, not all hospitals will say you can wear them at first but when you give them the information from their website that it is antibacterial, antimicrobial, hypoallergenic, and easier access than a hospital gown for monitors, and epidurals, they'll agree)
