<DIV>After I wrote that I remembered something else the Lamaze instructor/shiur
lady said: she said if you were stuck and wanted to make a bracha and
you were wearing something with no waist, like just a hospital gown or a
nightgown, you could hold your arm across your waist as a separation between
your upper and lower body.</DIV>

shiur-lady, who IIRC was my LaMaze instructor, said if you're in the hospital
after you just had a baby, and you want to make a bracha, you should have
on a houserobe with a belt or a skirt or a half-slip or even underwear
with a band at the waist. [--old
