Possibly stupid hospital question

This is probably a stupid question, but do most hospitals provide towels? I packed toiletries for the hospital, but I didn't think to pack a towel. My hospital has tubs for laboring too. I didn't really think about this before, but it would be pretty annoying not to have towels.

Re: Possibly stupid hospital question

  • I packed one only b/c I've heard they are thin and rough but yes, they do have them. Can't hurt to throw one in the bag though :)
  • Loading the player...
  • I packed a big one just to be safe.  I'd rather have my own large, soft towel than the thin little ones they have in the hospitals.
  • Just use their towels - you'll bleed all over them.  At least I did.
  • My hospital said they had towels but that they were thin and rough so the nurse recommended bringing your own.  I don't think I will, we use white towels so...I'll ruin theirs haha. 
  • Suprisingly our room at the hospital didn't have any. But then again, I remember the nurses complaining that our room wasn't stocked as it should be. So it's possible that they should have been there. Thank God we had brought our own! :)

  • Ours had crappy towels that were restocked everyday.  I would use theirs before using yours.  Theirs may have sucked but I don't have to wash it when I get home.  I also used their lovely gowns for 2 days because I didn't want to wear pants (c/s) and I didn't want to risk getting my stuff ruined.
  • Mine had them but they were rough and just a little bigger then a hand towel.  But I got blood on them so I would rather use them then bring my own. 
  • The hospital i delivered at had everything including towels, but they werent big towels, so if your like me and on the bigger side you might want to bring a towel your comftorable in all the towels i had were on the small side but maybe thats just at my hospital. I think the next time around i'll bring my own towels.
