Things I Should Remember??

What should I take to the hospital besides slippers, chapstick, robe, list of meds?? And what should I have at home for after besides chewable vitamins, baby food, instant carnation breakfast?? Thanks for the insite Christa

Home: Flavor extracts to change the taste of the shakes. Vanilla: add 1 tsp of almond extract, 1 tbls of decaff instant coffee. Should be kinda like a Toasted Almond, just no alcohol. Chocolate: 1/2 tsp peppermint extract.

You should consider bringing a pillow that you are comfortable with. I took my cd player because tv can be so boring and it kept me from hearing all the noise in the hospital at night, so I could get some sleep. Lori 300/215/175

Why r u going to have baby food at home? Way to much sugar and carbs in it. U can eat sugar free stuff, like fat free sugar free pudding and jello.

Take a fan, they say we are going to be sweating like a richard simmons video!!! (LOL)

I am bringing a timer to the hospital so I know when to keep getting my fluids in me and it will come in handy at home. Also bringing a calling card since all my family will be 3 hrs away. I got all my proteins, sf ice pops, sf jello, crystal light, yogur****er and v8 and broth for when I get home. I have all my liquids and pureed for the month of Sept. ready. Even found tiny little 2 oz cups to make my jello in.. Doreen

I am bringing my CDMan because I know I won't get much rest if its noisy and I have never been in a hospital that was quiet. But then we won't be getting much rest because they will be getting you up walking like every 2 hours....(or so I'm told) I will use their johnnies as bathrobe and nightgown (why ruin my things especially if you get your period), I'd bring pads with you unless your hospital provides them because I heard that you may get your period. I'm bringing a book because I love to read. But I don't want to bring too much because the stay will not be that long. If I forgot anything my hubby can bring it to me. I'll be wearing the same clothes I went in with home except I will have a change of undies with me....LOL. You really don't need much. If I think of anything else I'll add it....LOL...Good Luck with your list. Erin

thank you all so much!! I don't know what I'd do without you!! -christa
