Bring nothing! I did not use one single thing I brought!

I brought my phone so I could keep everyone updated, pair of flip flops (to walk in, instead of the socks), and go home clothes.

Gas x strips my pillow and phone charger, everything else I didn't use , it was just easier to wear their gown because it allows access to everything congrats and good luck .

Toothpaste and toothbrush deodorant something to wear home which can be what u had on going to the hospital lip balm and slippers slide on charger and phone that's all you need

I brought my phone, charger, change of underwear and lip balm. The hospital gave me a toiletry kit. I wore the same clothes home that I wore to the hospital the morning before.

Phone and charger was all I used

Phone, charger, underclothes,and you is all you need. I just had mines done last monday and had the nerve to bring a suitcase (im a girly girl ????????????) but all i really needed was a cute scarf and a fresh pair of underclothes to leave in. You might as well keep the gown that they gave you on because it's hard to move around with an iv pole attached to you.

Krista I am also a girlie girl I didn't want to over pack but I don't want to under pack...plus I got a really cute new overnite bag that I wanted to use lol

I know! I had the cutest night gowns and everything but i promise you i didn't touch a thing untill they kicked me out lol I was also on my period so i over packed but you are gonna have things monitoring you heart and nurses coming in checking your vitals every hour. Your new bestie will be the morphine drip and your bed because you won't really need underwear either from all the test you will be taking.

I took the essentials, toothbrush toothpaste underwear. I also brought pajamas with a top that buttoned down the front. The nurse was nice enough to undo my IV line so I could put my pajamas on. My own slippers, I prefer not to walk around without shoes on. I brought a robe and my fleece blanket. I used everything I brought and I only spent one night in the hospital.

I guess pack what you know you will use not THINK lol (I made that mistake) Know, because i was there for 3 nights. Only because i sucked at the liquid challenge at the end and had to start over..????. Each case is different so take what you feel comfortable with.

I probably over did it. I had two gowns (more like long night shirts) and used both. I used the underwear and I am so thankful that I took sports bras! I used my own toiletries. I also took some skid resistant house shoes. They came in handy for my many walks. Surprisingly I only used my phone, I didn't use my iPad.

Doesn't the hospital gown leave your tushy exposed? I thought I'd bring a long gown or a pair of PJ bottoms for modesty's sake. I like whoever said about bringing non-slip slippers. I would imagine the floor would be very cold on your walks around the ward.

Were you ladies on a floor with only women? When you took your walks would you pass by men (not including male nurses)?

I had on two gowns so no one saw my goodies but i couldn't wear anything else because i had bladder issues and had to use a semi permanent catheter for my walks so if i wasn't mooning the male staff , they saw my box full of pee.lol
