What to pack for hospital stay?

Not sure what to pack...I'm thinking about wearing my pajamas to the hospital and back home because they are loose fitting and I won't have to pack too much. My binder says bring a robe and slippers, toiletries, ect.

I would highly recommend wipies and chap stick. Those two were life savers for me! That, and a toothbrush... your mouth is going to be very dry and taste very odd. :)

I was in one night. All I really used were my brush and toothbrush, phone charger, slippers and pj shorts. I was happy to have the shorts to cover my booty - but would have been sweating in pj pants. Plus they put those leg wraps on you for circulation, so pants would have been in the way. Wore home what I came in.

Thanks ladies!

Chapstick is a must have. Second to that your own pillow.

I chose to wear a loose fitting capri outfit instead of pjs during the day and then changed into pj short set at night. The capris allowed me to stay cool and covered without needing a bathrobe. I too was only one night. I also agree about the toothbrush. I brushed my teeth and changed my clothes as soon as I got to my room. The taste you will have in your mouth is terrible.

Good luck
