POTS Information: What to bring to the hospital...

Recently, I saw a pin on Pinterest on What to Bring to the Hospital (expecting mothers style). I figured, Spoonies stay in the hospital for a long time sometimes and we should have a list for our family or caretaker to have!


1. Toothbrush and paste
2. Face wash
3. Lotion
These things can make a HUGE difference in how we feel sitting in bed all day!

4. Colouring books and pencils, Art Supplies in general
5. Laptop or Tablet, phone and chargers
6. Books
7. Deck of cards
Things to do when you get bored of nurses, tests, and daytime TV.

8. Medicine from home! Sometimes the hospital pharmacy doesn't have everything you take! Ask the doctor if you can take them too!

9. Change of clothes for leaving
10. Extra underwear to feel clean in
11. Pads or tampons....just in case! I know I had to go off my bc and then I had my period with no pads.
12. Pair of Socks
13. Hair ties or head band
Things for cleanliness!

Finally you may need a neck pillow or a blanket from home for comfort. Or even a teddy bear! I know I have my hospital buddy!
