Hey ladies! I am prepping for my 2nd c-section in April with my 2nd son. I totally thought I knew what I needed but as it gets closer I am drawing a blank and feel like I may over or under pack 😂
What do you ladies think are the absolute most important items to take for both yourself & baby the 2nd time around?

I have finally started packing, I packed pjs, clothes, robe, towel, shampoo, body wash, hair ties, nipple cream, breast feeding pads, baby’s clothes, hair brush, makeup, I think that’s about it unless I think of more things I may need..

I’m at the hospital after my c-section now which was moved up 3 weeks. So far, most important was bringing my own pillow, my own non-slip socks, my own towels (seriously I’m at the top hospital in all of California and their towels are still BAD), toiletries, Bluetooth speaker and phone charger. I brought myself my own hospital gown and they talked me out of using it because of blood. I did bring my own nursing pillow, but my poor baby ended up in NICU so it hasn’t been used a lot. Most of what’s left is going home clothing for the baby and I.
