What to pack for delivery at Holy Cross Silver Spring?

[Anonymous]

I'm delivering next month and thinking about putting together my hospital bag. Does the hospital provide soap and shampoo, or any other toiletries? Thank you!

I delivered there last year. I have no idea if they provided toiletries. I couldn’t even pull it together to take a shower. If they did provide, they probably suck so I would bring my own.

I don’t remember them providing toiletries when I had my first a few years ago, I had brought my own.

They definitely provide everything baby related and lots of recovery stuff (ice packs etc).

Also never had a shower at the hospital. I packed a bunch of stuff that I never touched.
It runs warm in the hospital, so don’t bring anything too heavy to wear.
They give you slipper socks, so don’t bother bringing those.
You may pee yourself when standing up to walk to the bathroom, so don’t bring fluffy slippers- bring crocs or something that can be easily rinsed off.
