    Hey Caroline I would say :
    Open front pjs as u over night
    Hair brush and bobble if u want to tie hair up
    Your arnica tablets
    lucozade to give u some energy back
    Lots of mags or a good book
    Something to snack on cereal bar or cracker and cheese if u not that Hungery for hospital food
    Something easy to slip on like maxi dress or thin hoodie to travel home in flat shoes/sandles to slip on
    And your sports/macom bra can’t think of anything else Hun xxx good luck xx

    Toothbrush and something to suck as people say they get sore throat after

    Ah thank you 🙂 that’s great. I haven’t got arnica tablets what do they do? Xxx

    Arnica was recommended by my nurse and all the girls swear by them to heal quicker, reduce swelling and bruising
    Been told to take 30g pack for 1 week b4 and 1 week after.yiu can get them from boots or sainsburys behind the counter.x

    Hi Hun, I also took a pillow for the journey home so the seat belt didn’t hurt x

    Yeh I was thinking to maybe take a pillow. Did you find it uncomfortable in the car going back home? I live in newcastle so it’s about 2 and a half hours away in the car xx
