Vanessa Lachey just figured out she doesn’t have to wear a hospital-issued gown during labor and delivery! Tweeting the exciting news, the mom-to-be wrote Thursday, “I just found out I don’t have to wear a hospital gown during labor & delivery. I got very excited! Hmm, what to wear. #ItsTheLittleThings.”

May we suggest a leopard-print look, much like Jessica Simpson was on the hunt for before giving birth to daughter Maxwell Drew?

Followers responding to the pregnant star had tips of their own to share, as well. “Choose carefully it will get very…nasty…” advised one person, while another commented, “Be sure that Nick saves his scrubs. I still have mine and my son is 10 years old. Great keepsake.”

“It’s official, my wedding rings don’t fit anymore,” Vanessa Lachey went on to tweet later in the day to her husband. “I still LOVE you @NickSLachey, but apparently my chunky preggo knuckles don’t.”
