Hospital bag c-section

Please can someone who’s had a C-section advise what they took in their bag that they actually used? I don’t want to over/underpack 🤣 Also what maternity pads/knickers would you recommend? There’s so many on google lol

I was in 3 days and roughly used (it was 15 months ago): 3 nighties with buttons (you’ll have a catheter in and then don’t want anything rubbing on the scar) Dressing gown /slippers for walking to loo. I didnt get dressed so only had clothes to go home in and nighties. Boots own brand incontinence pads (you tear the sides so easy to get off when you can’t bend) Toiletries Phone charger/phone Chocolate Kindle 🤣 only read before section! That was about it for me. For baby: Baby vests Baby grows Hat Muslins Nappies (size 0) Cotton wool Blanket I had so much more, but this is what I actually used - your partner can always bring in extra bits of you need it (there is very little space).

Buttoned pjs for feeding and a few pairs in case you leak from boobs or below Long phone charger for ease when you’re sore Dressing gown and huge slippers as my feet swelled loads and couldn’t get my trainers on so came home in hubbys size 9 crocs 😂 Loose/high pj bottoms and knickers for above the scar Pads as you’ll still bleed for 4 weeks or so And obvs baby bits!

Thanks so much 🩵
