What will I need?

by Monday121 18th May 2015, 9:52 am

Any suggestions on what I will need to take to hospital? Is there already a thread on here about this? I'm sure someone will have asked the question before.
It would be perfect if someone has been kind enough to do a list.
I need to start my preparations, thanks xx

Wooo so exciting! I need to start putting the stuff in a bag because currently they are all folded up and put in my room. My Macom is still is the wallet!! xx

Thanks so much! The lists are so helpful, I'm just going to copy. Fluffy socks are a must for me too and I didn't even think about the sick bag (my hubby wouldn't be best pleased if I was sick in his car, especially when he had to clean it too).
I'll have to get a v pillow at the weekend.
My surgery is 28th so less than 2 weeks to go xx

The list you are looking for is [You must be registered and logged in to see this link.] , think the others have pretty much covered it.
Baby wipes are handy for freshening up .

Haha boobielalas, funny. I'm old fashioned and call them my new knockers. I watched the Carry On movies as a child.
Thanks @mirren I'd forgotten baby wipes x

by Vickyxo 19th May 2015, 6:17 am

Ah i forgot about babywipes as its my daily routine now with wiping my face etc ha. Yeah i have no excuse where 'boobielalas' come from.. Not like i have kids and have to soften the word up! Xx

I took my 'summer' PJ's, like short sleeved buttom up top and shorts. It was so hot in hospital even with both the windows open. I also took long ones and fluffy socks in case I was cold. I am super sensitive to temperature but I was literally sweating through the night. I think with the emotional side and nerves it all raises the temperature a bit! I took a flannel too so I could have a little wash in the morning at the sink which was lovely to freshen up after a hot night. Eyemask and earplugs were both essential for me too.

Throat sweets as the tube they put down your throat can make it sore.
