flea...or a sign of the coming consumer apocalypse?
I present to you "Dear Johnnies," (http://www.dearjohnnies.com/index.php) fashionable versions of hospital gowns designed for delivering mothers. Because "having a baby is an extraordinary experience, and moms deserve to wear something better than an ordinary hospital gown." They run $65.
Now, I've delivered two babies. The first time I was buck naked for at least the last 3 hours of the process. The second time I barely made it into the hospital gown. In neither case did I give a rat's ass about the thread count of the fabrics involved, or the cuteness of the print. Dear Johnnies are available color-coordinated so you can match the gender of your baby. They are 100% cotton, so I suppose if you wanted to you could launder them thoroughly to get out the sweat, blood, and other possible bodily fluids out of them afterwards. Me, I'm happy to have the hospital do that job, and then simply put on my own bathrobe from home for the period after the baby is born.

Although I did learn the hard way that if you show up with a duffle full of old geek t-shirts, nobody at the hospital will take you seriously afterward (hey, I wanted something comfortable and disposable, and was stupid enough to think that nobody would care what I looked like after giving birth, so I could wear C's old t-shirts. Silly me: it's critical in the hospital to telegraph your social status via your clothing. *sigh* We did much better the second time.)
