Don't know what to bring to hospital?

15 things you will need for going to hospital

    1. Some Pyjamas

     When you get your pyjamas, always get button down ones. This just makes         life so much easier

   2. Slippers

The best type to get are slippers that have a great grip. Below are the slippers that I brought. I know they are not the nicest but trust me, you can get nicer ones. They are the comfiest pair of slippers I have ever owned!

   3. Robe

It can get very cold in the hospital! A robe/bath robe will keep you nice and toasty

4. Hairbands or Hair Elastics

If you have long hair, you will need to tie it up during your operation. In my experience, my hair bobbles tend to come out when I sleep so just bring a few extras just incase

5. Dry Shampoo

OMG!! I don’t know what I would have done I this stuff didn’t exist. Use this just to help your hair look a bit fresher because it is really hard to wash your hair in the hospital

6. Hairbrush

I know it seems obvious but it helps. You don’t know exactly how long you will be in the hospital and if your hair isn’t brushed, it is going to be very hard and sore to get all those knots out (unless you have your hair in braids)

7. Deodorant

Since you wont be able to get a shower, use this just to keep yourself feeling fresh

8. Wipes

For a few days you may not be able to walk all the way to the bathroom. Wipes will help you clean yourself and freshen up your skin

9. Moisturizer/chap stick

Your skin and lips can get very dry just after surgery. Well mine did anyway, especially my lips. This was because my mouth was so dry all the time

10. Body wash

Eventually you will be able to walk to the bathroom to be able shower down (with help of course) You should bring non-perfumed body wash (it doesn’t make you as itchy) I used Sanex

11. Facecloth

Your skin will be extremely sensitive so use a facecloth instead of the shower

12. Toothbrush

For obvious reasons

13. Toothpaste

Do I need to explain this one?

14. Sanitary Towels

Ladies this one is for you! This is essential. Surgery has a massive affect on your body. You need to bring some with you just incase. Some of you prefer tampons, but use the towels. You may not be able to bend that way yet so don’t stress yourself!

15. Books/Magazines

And finally! For the times you are awake, you can get very bored very quickly. Bring something to pass the time and keep you entertained. Plus, it takes your mind of things
