i really dont know what else i should pack. all advice is apreciated.

i read you should take extra undies? like how many pairs?

The hospital usually has diapers and pacifiers but you should take some so if you plan to go some where after the birth of your baby you can change him. You should pack a sock with two tennis balls in it because a family member can message you while you are in labor. You can also put rice in a sock and bring that because it feels good when you heat it and you are in labor because sometimes your body temp will change a lot. You could take a pillow with you. I did and it made me feel more comfortable to have something from my bed with me while I was laying on the hospital bed. You can also pack some snacks and some drinks because your husband my get hungry and sometimes after you have a baby you will feel hungry too. I sure did.

I brought pads with me because I didn't like the type they had at the hospital. They'll give you nursing pads there. They also have diapers, and pacifiers there, and usually formula too. You might want to bring slippers and a bathrobe. I don't know how it is with a regular delivery, but when I had my babies I had a c-section and had to take a few walks around the halls so I had my bathrobe so I wouldn't expose myself. Oh, and make sure with your nightgown that its easy to nurse in. You don't want to have to pull your dress/nightgown all the way up to feed the baby. Good luck!

HELLO,u should take in a pack of newborn size nappies for the baby.a few sets of clothes for the newborn and especially some sanitary towels ive found the best 1s are the always maxi the night time ones they r about 1.90 for 12 from superdrug and boots.i dont know if you can take the laptop in fone the maternity ward of your hospital and ask them.

i packed some most of the stuff you have..

to you.

diapers

pacifier

I packed 10 under wears and used all.

I would pack a blanket for you and the baby so that yall can bond.

But CONGRATS on the baby is it a BOY or GIRL.

Slippers with rubber soles! Walking around on the hospital floor is nasty! Even with socks on. I recommend a dark color.

Do woman wear bras to bed?

Since I am still a virgin at fifteen I have some questions I would like answered. Do women wear bras underneath their nightgowns when they sleep? Do any women have sexual intercourse with their nightgowns on? If a woman is wearing a long nightgown does she take it off when she is using the toilet?

I'll just answer the bra question...Yes a lot of women do and they should wear a bra while in bed...Its those who dont that end up with the twins hanging down to their knees when they are older...Any doctor will tell you it good to wear one to bed...

wow ... each one of your questions can be answered by a yes or no. It really depends on the girl. Get some experience then come back and you'll realize how lame those questions are. I'm not sure if you're into women or nightgowns!

u r too young to get an answer.

Not if they are smart as that has been proven to increase the risk of breast cancer. Depends upon what type of nightgown it is. As to the last one they usually just lift it up. One of these days you will find out these answers on your own and ask yourself, Why was I ever worried about such nonsense as the last two questions anyway?

It all depends.Just wait 'til you're older...

Do women wear bras underneath their nightgowns when they sleep?

SOME DO>>>I DON'T

Do any women have sexual intercourse with their nightgowns on?

SOME DO>>>I WOULD MAYBE

If a woman is wearing a long nightgown does she take it off when she is using the toilet?

PULL IT UP OVER YOUR BUTT

Sleeping with a bra would be VERY uncomfortable... I think it'd be safe to say that 99% of women don't wear a bra when they sleep. Sometimes women have sex with some clothing on... that includes nightgowns. I do not remove my nightgown when going to the bathroom.

What? Ok you are a little freak in the making LOLZ!

umm... NO

Your a little too young to be asking these questions! But I'm the same age you are, so that's weird I said that. Lol! And NO girls do not wear bra's to bed! It's totally uncomfortable!Most girls wear a t-shirt and pajama bottoms, not nightgowns. I don't think anyone does anymore. And about the sexual intercourse thing it really depends on the girl your doing it with. If it's comfortable for her. Your really horny! But that's ok.......I guess, most guys are at 15! Eh. That's life. =]

whoa. ok... umm.. u dont need to know. ur a guy. as soon as u get a wife u will find out for urself. everyone is different.

NO women don't wear bras when they sleep under their nightgown. Many women wear pyjama pants and shirt, not a nightgown you know.

Some women might have sex with a negligee on. It's a really short, skimpy type of nightgown. But most are just naked.

Women hold their nightgown up and in front of them when they go to the bathroom.

lol...

im wore short/hot pants, with vesy no bra on, sometimes lingerie no bra on, more comfortable to sleep.

haha... well, im fifteen, and I wear a bra to bed usually.... Or nothing....But anyways, Ive never had sex with a nightgown on, my friend keeps her shirt on though.... No, when u have a long shirt or night gown on, yo ujust lift it up.... lol. u horny little freak!

most women don't sleep in nightgowns, they usually wear pajama tops and bottoms. and no usually women don't wear bras under their pajamas.

Well my wife see n me wearing her lingeria and freek out but the same time she was pisted what should i do?

I was wearing her bra panties nightgown and stocking as i was putting on the stocking she walk in and said o my god and that and every thing else in the book but she was also com to like there somthing she wanted to say .......But i cant read her mind but she couldnt she was dum fowned i no she didnt like it because of look she gave me she was going to be gone for 2 days at the beach ...... But she came back...anyway i want to no what it was like to wear the lingeria ....... So i want no what so amused by woman wearing sexy cloths....like this... Now i no what it feel like silk soft and wonderful but why do woman get the pretty stuff and men dont................... please help me out need addvice a.s .a.p....////???????? thank uuuuuuuuup

You shouldn't wear your wife's clothes. If you have a bigger frame than she, you might stretch them. If this was just a "one time" thing, tell her that and apologize. If you want to do this regularly, you should buy your own. You also need to talk with your wife and tell her your feelings and intentions.

Calm down and sit her down to talk.

Tell her your original intentions, and, if you plan to keep wearing women's clothing, ask her if you can buy your own. If she freaks out, just tell her you're sorry you surprised her and you only like them because the material is more comfortable. Hopefully she'll understand.

Good luck!

I love to get in "drag", simply such is your fem personality between lovers....(however).....study sexual nature asto what is beauty to each the other.

tell her the truth ...which is that u just wanted to see wat it felt like!!!

also wemon git sexy clothes cause they sexy!

tell her you were just seeing what it felt like because you were curious.

Damn fella...YOU married her. You should have known what kind of 'freak' she was before you said, 'I do'...hahaha (just kidding) Why don't you try to talk to her calmly and explain you just wanted to know how 'nice' it felt for her to wear such clothes and ask her if she hasn't ever wanted to know how different articles of male clothing you wore felt on her. It's simple curiosity... Please don't tell me that she's such a religious fanatic that she can't even accept you're wanting to know something so harmless...if it's that way, she has probably already envisioned you as a predatory, child molesting, cross dressing, fetish weary gay person...and damned you straight to hell before she even heard a word you said... If she is, make it short and simple, just get a divorce and live happily ever after...

Hospital Bag? What am I forgetting?

Ok I'm due in a week and a half so it's time to quit messing around and pack my bag... Here is what I packed:

3 pairs panties

2 bras

nightgown

sweats/t-shirt to wear home

camera

nursing pads

maxi pads

baby blanket

baby hat

baby outfit

I know I need to pack socks, what else have I forgotten???

I'd suggest some sample packs of shampoo, creme rinse, and body wash for when you take a shower. I can't remember if/what the hospital had when I finally got to shower, so I'm glad I had my own stuff.

Also, depending on how you feel, maybe some make-up too -- I thought that would be the last thing I cared about, but after it was all said and done, it was nice to be able to put some mascara on and feel like a human being again.

I am due on the 21 of november! :-) I packed a

camera,charger,

cell phone and charger,

panties, nursing bra,

outfit to go home,

nightgown,

socks,

slippers,

pads,

baby bag,

baby outfit,

hat,

blanket....

U should pack also slippers,

tooth brush, shampo, body wash,lotion that has no smell to get massage during labor,

adress book,

maybe cd player and music for during labor,

picture from your loved ones,

hard candy to suck on during labor.....

I hope I helped a lil bit!

Good luck!

Hair brush!!! I squirmed around so much during labor/delivery that my hair was a tangled mess. I had to have my sis comb it out for me, took forever. Definately don't forget the brush!

And make sure to pack REALLY warm clothes for your hubby/bf/etc. I was so hot the entire time, I kept asking the nurses to turn down the heat. My poor hubby was FREEZING the whole time! (The nurses kept bringing him warm blankets though.)

Might want to pack a few outfits for your baby. A couple to wear during the hospital stay (the sack sleepers work great while your at the hospital - easy access for drs & nurses) and a couple to choose from to go home. And pack different sizes. I brought newborn & 0-3mo and they were too big so someone had to go buy us some preemie outfits to take him home in.

Maybe a pillow if you don't like the hospital ones, some comfy slippers to walk around in, all your toiletries, like shampoo & conditioner's, toothpaste, etc., you never know how long you will need to stay overnight. FYI, I packed a whole duffel bag when my son was born and I only used like two things out of the whole bag lol! Good luck to you! :)

Shampoo, Conditioner, Tooth brush, tooth paste, cell phone, cell charger, camera, extra batteries or charger for camera, change, snacks, hairbrush, && if your partner will be with you, i suggest him bringing a baithing suit. my boyfriend needed to help me in the shower, and didn't want the nurses seeing everything.

shampoo & conditioner, body wash, toothbrush, toothpaste, hairbrush...

I read to bring a book or playing cards (not sure if you'll be relaxed enough to use them, but whatevs).

Change for the vending machine and snacks (for your coach/partner)

Everything else on your list is the same as what I have. GOOD LUCK! Its so exciting!!!

Toilettries

Camera & charger or batteries and film

I brought my laptop and DVD's

Robe and slippers

Pack a husband bag that goes as well;

PJ's

Change of clothes

His toilettries

Books/Magazines

Change for vending/etc

Address book, to call everyone

Snacks

toothbrush, hair brush (and ties) shampoo and soap if you plan on taking a shower (if you don't want to use theres)

I didn't see a robe and house shoes...

Do I really need my own nightgown/robe for my hospital bag?

The hospital said that they prefer to just provide them, but I'm not sure they'll have anything that will cover me up satisfactorily during my recover period. Will I be allowed to wear sweats and a t-shirt or do I have to stay in a gown the whole two days after? I've been to three stores in the last few weeks and I almost started crying today after shopping for three hours trying to find some sort of nighty or robe to bring to the hospital. I always just wear flannel pants, sweats or shorts and a tank or t-shirt. All the robes I've found are super-short. The nightgowns don't fit and most don't button (making it easier to nurse without lifting your whole gown up). What items do I ACTUALLY need for this bag? I hate shopping and tend to get depressed when I can't find what I need, so I want to avoid going "out there" again if possible. I ended up settling on some crappy nursing bras in a box from Mervyns because they were the first I could find that would fit me and I was too depressed to keep shopping around more stores.

I'd suggest you stick with getting some kind of nightgown rather than using sweats. I too prefer pants or shorts... but remember, you may end up having a c-section or episiotomy or something, and you can't be wearing pants if you need the nurse's assistance for the first day or two! So, personally I'd rather have a nightgown than go starkers under the sheet.

That said, you could always use a hospital gown. They've already said they prefer to provide them -- I'm certain they are able to accomodate a wide range of body types for both men and women. Even with the tie-shut kind, often you wear one on your back (like a bathrobe) and one on your front, so nothing is flapping in the breeze!

You can wear whatever you want once you have had the baby!! They can advise you to wear the hospital robe when you are in labour and giving birth but after that its up to you what you wear!

I wore a tracksuit and my own dressing gown whilst i was recovering (was in for 4 days due to c-section) and that did me just fine! Take whatever you feel comfortable in and dont let them boss you about, its up to you!!

I stole a night gown from my mom who is bigger then me that i plan to wear... But you don't really NEED to bring one. If the back being open just isn't your thing just bring your sweat pants to wear under the hospitals and think of it this way you don't have to take it home and wash it

dont get upset hun wear whatever is comfortable to u, u can wear whatever u want. try a maternity store at the mall or look online best of luck, i got my gown at wal mart and it is a nursing gown it doesnt button up but it has slits in it and it was a little big but it was comoftable and it wasnt tight which u dont want

Oh my...you can wear exactly what you want! It's a hospital not a prison...your body, your baby, you birth experience...remember YOU are in charge...of course you can wear sweats..I did....and a big t shirt...you dont have to wear, do or say anything you dont want to..you're in charge!

You cant wear sweats and a t-shirt at the hospital (which sucks) because you will be bleeding and a nurse will be coming in to clean you up. You would just ruin the pants. You can take a nightgown of your own, but it will get ruined.

I would suggest getting one just because you don't want to walk around in a hospital gown for 2 days. Your family will be in and out and the robes that tie in the back aren't exactly flattering. I went to wal mart and got a nursing robe and it was great. Here are links to a couple, then you could just order them online and not have to worry about going out.

1 thing you will learn VERY quickly in hospital about the midwives there... they are extremely opinionated on what THEY think you must and mustn't do from what you wear, to how you feed your bub ect... my most valuable piece of advice being a veteran (2 kids already and 1 on the way lol) is this.... ignore what they tell you and do what feels right!!! I wore a crappy old nighty to deliver my babies in, then i had a shower right after, and chucked on pants and a shirt and spent the entire time i was in hospital wearing similar clothes! Do not let yourself get worked up over what they want you to say... because really... with no complications arising.. you're able to safely leave hospital 6 hrs after giving birth... so if they peeve you off enough... just go home!!

Goodluck darl and don't stress... having a baby is stressful enough as it is without them being particularly annoying!

I wore their crappy gowns. One normally and one to like a robe to cover my ***. I was glad to wear and stain their clothes. :) You pass allot of gross things the first few days. Lots of blood clots etc. Its not like I didn't have a giant pad on its just as soon as you move you gush. Anyhow I brought my own long terry cloth type robe for when I took my son and went wandering. Wear what you want anyhow. Just don't wear anything too nice cause anything can happen.

You can wear whatever you want! You can even give birth naked if you want. They'll give you a quick "down there" exam before you go home. You can wear whatever you want-- all you'll have to do is take your pants off for 5 minutes. You're giving birth-- you've earned the right to be comfy!

I'd prefer sweat pants (loose) or loose flannel pants and a baggy t-shirt. You could find a shirt that zips or buttons down the front, or even just wear a bath robe. You don't need to wear a nightgown if you don't want to. By the way, expect to still look about 5 months pregnant after you give birth. So get clothes that will fit that.

Ladies- If you came home early or unexpected and walked?

in only to find your husband or bf in the house walking around in pantyhose, bra, nightgown or just lingerie of some sort that pretty much would tell you he is a closet cross dresser, I am just wondering (still) about how many of you would be able to accept and be supportive even tho he kept it a secret ? Would you rather he told you when you first got together and if so would that have made a difference in you getting married or dating ? And last - would you stay and try to work it out or would you turn and walk away and leave him ? Keep in mind to that one of the hardest things for a crossdressing male to do is to be able to open up to someone and talk about it, In past situations we have trusted and we have been embarrassed in front of family and friends, struggled most of our life with various stages of depression, considered suicide more than once, (thank God I Never went thru with it) and pretty much struggled to maintain a relationship for fear of rejection again, Some say they want to know up front, then others don't want to know at all, and yet others can accept it but they never want to see it or anything about it, We get comments about being gay because we like the feel of woman's silk panties, or the feel good things women get to wear anytime they want, well I like the feel of them as well, but also for me the feelings of wearing lingerie stuff, bra, pantyhose or nightgown etc. it is a way for me to be able to really relax, and I keep it home and private, So I am just wondering where the ladies are that can accept a guy that also happens to be a cross dresser? and no, not gay either,,

Well I would stay with him if I were straight. I would not want to supress who he is just because I don't like what he does. That is just selfish.

I think I'd die of laughter, my husband would NOT make a pretty woman. Still, I don't think I'd be alive to accept him, after literally dying of laughter.

I would be supportive. If anything I would take pride in him. Maybe take him out and help him pick out outfits. Maybe he could even help me.

I would laugh for ages. Then hug him. Then make love to him with us both crossdressing. That could only improve our relationship

Lol i'd laugh so hard if a saw a male doing that, but then id accept them

At first I would laugh really hard...

But, yeah.

I'd accept him.

What ever floats his boat!

Uhh, my typical guy type if more feminine (:

Girls pants, tight shirts, etc.

So I guess I'd be pretty accepting?

My GF never wears femmy things... she just collects them

First I am a lesbian so this might be different from a straight girls answer but it interested me:

I would probably laugh and say that he can have all my next years Christmas presents, (my family has a tenancy of buying me 'girly' things that I would never wear) I might be a bit sad that he felt like he couldn't be himself around me, but then again as you mentioned there are several people who might seem to be accepting and then turn out not to be. So overall, I would be fine with it and try to support him no matter what he liked to wear.

It's what's on the inside that counts.

Well I would probably wished he had trusted me enough to tell me up front. But being bisexual myself I know the kind of controversy and fear people go through with opening up about this. My boyfriend is bisexual and I am so happy he told me early in our relationship. He hasn't "came out" to many people yet. I don't mind having relationships with "odd" people. Lol, that seems to be the only kind I ever get in actually. Anyways, back to the question, I don't think it should be too early in the relationship but definitely sometime in the beginning stages. If the girl doesn't accept who you are then she's not good enough for you! Same towards guys!

For me its simple. I would consider this a very little problem. My issues would be about honesty,your values as a person, integrity, morales,and whether or not you work for a living ; and not live off the govt.! I also do not think people should be so sue happy! Earn your living and earn your respect in areas where it matters

Women: If your wearing a nightgown, simple to sleep in kind nothing fancy/sexy do you wear anything underneat

if so what? bra and panties or just one ? same topic: Do you prefer long ones or short ones?

Hmm you know they have special sites to "help" you out?

wouldn't you like to know ;)

i'd wear undies, it'd be more comfortable

your weird

How old are you?

twelve???

No bra... panties maybe. You want to look sexy and feel free. My boyfriend loves to wake up in the morning and wrap his arms around me. no bra.. and if he's feeling good, We'll start off the morning right and I wont have to slow us down by taking off my panties!

i dont wear a bra but im not comfy w/out panties lol.... my opinion : )

are you like10 years old??

i never wear a bra to sleep, but i always wear a thong or panties.

i really ♥ short, cute nightgowns that show off my adorable petite bod=D

panties, you dont have to wear a bra, your in your own bed (alone hopefully). i prefer short, the long ones usually get curled up under the covers, and it tends to get uncomfy sometimes, but that just me!!

♥alma♥

Watsa matter? Can't find someone to have phone sex widja?

I never wear underwear when sleeping.
