What do I need to pack?

I'm so busy, I haven't really had time to think about what I need to take to the hospital with me. I have:

Slippers

Nightwear

Underwear

Clothes to wear home

Toothbrush & toothpaste

Baby wipes

Vaseline for dry lips

What else do I need?

Thanks :-)

Maybe light reading material?

hairbrush, pillow and your blankey! I also will take my phone charger because I like music on my phone

You won't need most of that since you'll be sleeping a lot. Of all the things I packed, I only used:

Toothbrush & toothpaste

hairbrush

phone charger

chap stick

crossword puzzle book

Wore the same clothes home as I wore coming in since I only had them on for an hour or so. I just wore a comfy jogging jacket and pants.

Good luck on your new adventure!

I really did not pack to much because i knew my stay wouldn't be long....I basically brought myself, tooth brush & tooth paste, panties nighty and the clothes I wore which were leggings and a tshirt (which was clean) and my flip flops...

Good Luck to you :)

iPad or phone so you can let us know how you are? Thinking and praying for you on Thursday

Good luck with your surgery tomorrow. Look forward to hearing how you're doing x

I took: Clean underwear, pajamas, socks, slippers, hair brush, tooth brush, tooth paste, hand sanitizer, cell phone, book, laptop, journal (for writing food), clothes for wearing home... and I think that was it. Honesly I never once used my laptop or a book .I slept almost the whole time. The essentials are the personal care items and clothes. also remember, most hospitals have extra tooth brushes, tooth paste, chapstick, etc if you forget. :)

Thanks Molly :-) When is your date? Good ideas from everyone. Bet I take stuff to read and watch and never even get it out of the bag. Not looking forward to the next couple of days but looking forward to the end of a fight I've been having all my life :-) x
