What should I pack?

Here’s a recommended packing list for a quick trip to Colorado. Make sure to check your weather app first to get a sense of what the weather will be like when you arrive. Try to fit all your stuff into a carry on sized bag. If you are flying Southwest both directions, you can check a bag for free but if you’re on any other airline, there will be an additional fee that is usually around $35.

• Comfy clothes for traveling and relaxing.

• Extra underwear.

• A warm jacket or sweatshirt, especially if you are traveling between October to May. If you are traveling between November and March, bring the warmest winter jacket you can find. 

• Closed toe shoes. If you are traveling between October to May, you’ll need shoes to keep your feet warm. Boots are recommended during winter months, but sneakers are okay too. 

• Ibuprofen and, if you are having a medication abortion, Pepto Bismol and Imodium. 

• Whether you have a medication or surgical abortion, you will likely experience cramps that are similar to or worse than the ones you experience during your period. If you are having a medication abortion, you may experience nausea, vomiting, and/or diarrhea. Even if you are receiving meal support from Colorado Doula Project, we cannot legally purchase or give you any medications so it’s best to bring those from home. 

• Toothbrush, toothpaste, and toiletries including sunscreen, lotion, and chapstick.

• Heavy duty sanitary pads (like overnight ones) or adult diapers.

• A heating pad. 

• An official government ID like a driver’s license or passport.

• A reusable water bottle.

• A book, tablet, or magazines.

• Phone charger.
