I took both after Noah's birth and possibly after Jude's although the aftermath of Jude's birth was far less painful than Noah's. <br />You can bring them - but I imagine at Credit Valley you probably don't need to bring meds. I might need to if I wanted them here, but I don't plan on being in the hospital for very long. I may pay for this assumption, but so be it. :p<br />Also I can't wait to take Advil again if/when I get headaches.

Pain! Are you allowed to take Advil and Tylenol afterwards? Do you need to pack it?Tamsinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01763084332396726125noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6407401078587932678.post-47449198744536593352012-08-16T07:13:32.664-04:002012-08-16T07:13:32.664-04:00Yeah, I was sorta planning on actually WEARING my ...Yeah, I was sorta planning on actually WEARING my glasses to the hospital. :)Vhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01875834913316556128noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6407401078587932678.post-58565516032953351672012-08-15T19:31:05.260-04:002012-08-15T19:31:05.260-04:00I know nothing about this ... but I wonder if you ...I know nothing about this ... but I wonder if you should pack a pair of glasses, too ...

They're so little, it might be worth it.<br />I don't have an eye mask, but maybe I'll look into getting one.<br /><br />At this point I'm not going to assume they provide gowns. It's likely and possible, but I'll still probably bring mine. It doubles as a nightgown anyway. And if I get the one from the hospital (if they DO provide) mucked up, I'll have my own to wear.Vhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01875834913316556128noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6407401078587932678.post-11222097764670776062012-08-14T15:05:34.321-04:002012-08-14T15:05:34.321-04:00Yes!

Hospitals are bright, noisy & I found it VERY difficult to sleep there. Even when you're in labour, you may want to block out the world a little bit. I would also recommend bringing your own music...maybe your iPod or computer to play music from. Feels more relaxed & like home in your room that way.<br /><br />I found that I had WAY more stuff than I actually needed for both myself & Sebby. Does the hospital provide gowns? I didn't need any extra clothes other than something to go home in as I ended up wearing a hospital gown (provided by them) during labour & changed into a fresh one after birth. <br /><br />For S, he wore one sleeper after birth & then the outfit he went home in. <br /><br />Better to have too much stuff than be missing things, though.Tarrenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01566863438789112227noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6407401078587932678.post-77754052953512825272012-08-14T15:00:35.863-04:002012-08-14T15:00:35.863-04:00hairbrush? :)hairbrush? :)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6407401078587932678.post-23721720296001056442012-08-14T14:31:30.803-04:002012-08-14T14:31:30.803-04:00You may want socks or slippers.

Even though I gave birth to Lily in the summer, I was glad to have them since there was AC and even if it weren't cool, its nice to be comfy when walking on hard floors after birth. Otherwise, youve got it all, I think!Emily Morricehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06331780147271948152noreply@blogger.com
