Hi
Do you think its best to take your own water in to hospital? What else is advisable for overnight?
Thank you xx
Take some basic toiletries and slippers. A dressing gown if you have one, otherwise you walk round with your backside sticking out of the back of those silly gowns. Don't do what I did first time in hospital, and put the paper knickers on your head. I thought it was a paper hat. The nurse nearly wet herself laughing when she saw me. You will be fine. They do look after you. Best wishes.
