Bit of a silly question
Posted , 13 users are following.
I'm wondering what to pack for hospital. Specifically, will I need a warm dressing gown? We keep our house quite cool and we are already in fleecy dressing gowns. The thought of the thin cotton one I'd originally packed for my (cancelled) September operation makes me feel cold just to think about it. I've not stayed in hospital since I had my children (in spring) so I don't know how warm it's going to be. Any tips?

I've never been in cold hospital. Luckily I had my own room so could have the windows open.Apart from that I took lots of nighties and didn't get dressed until I left even though I had been told to bring loose fitting clothes to wear during the day.
Good luck with your op
Take care

I was told by my pre op nurse to bring either pjs or a nightie that was satin as this aided the sliding bit you have to do to get out of bed etc. a light dressing gown as hospital is hot. Slippers, day clothes and shoes. Antibacterial hand wipes for hands before meals, loose change for trolley newspapers etc. reading material. Wash stuff, toothbrush etc.
hope this helps
