Bag....what bag.....gotta be a chick thing. Wore out what I wore in.......didn't bring anything.

I'm packing a light robe so my butt doesn't hang out, extra panties for if I stay longer than a day, normal toiletries like tooth brush, deodorant, etc, chap stick, maybe my kindle, phone charger. And just wear out the same thing I wear in. I don't plan on taking a crapton of stuff. I've seen some people suggest taking a small pillow bc it helps to hold it against you on the drive home.

I won't tell you what all I brought because it's embarrassing now, but what I *used* was: sweatpants for under my hospital gown, deodorant, baby wipes, chap stick, extra underwear, lotion, a soft front-close bra, baby shampoo to take a shower to go home, my charger, and my own socks to layer under theirs because I couldn't get my feet warm.

Heating pad...or make sure the hospital will make one available. iPad. Chapstick. And your own pillow or two.

The pillows and heating pad are more important than the rest.

Heck i wore sweatpants there and then a Johnnie, crocs for ease of use, but they wouldn't allow clothes under the Johnnie, one because of the leg inflation things, and two i had thigh high te stockings on as well. so every time that sweet, young brand new out of school nurse came to check my bandages she got an eye full. lol Thankfully pain meds and age made me really not care. It was chilly under there....lol
