Never had a section before always gone straight home after birth.
How many pairs of underwear should I be packing? Is 3 pairs enough?
Also is there anything else you'd recommend if I have to stay in?

I've packed 3 just in case I leak, expecting to only be there 24 hours after c section x

I’ve literally packed 15 I’m not joking. I always over pack 😂 I’ve also packed disposable net underwear too which was a godsend when I had my first via c section xx

Disposable high waist pants, I used them after my first and they were great so got some more for this time!

I packed 5 but only used 3 …only stayed for 1 night …make sure you’ve got earphones..that were life saver for me when I was bored xx

I packed 3 and used 2

I would maybe pack more with my 1st C-section I was in 3 nights, with my 2nd 2 nights so may be longer than 24 hours

I've packed 6 pairs of disposable underwear, you bleed just as much if not more with a section

I packed 3, used 2... The catheter stayed in until the morning after, mainly due to timing as 12 hours post op would've been 11pm.

I packed 2 pairs underwear and 3 disposable, only ended up using 2 disposable and 1 pants to come home in, was in for 19 hours from moment baby was born x

I’ve packed 6 lol I was told to pack for 2 nights stay, I thought best to have maybe too many than not enough x

Hi hope your well mamas , just wanted some advice I had a c section 3 weeks ago and today while dabbing my scar there was some fresh blood and the area seems sore and painful . What should I do I have booked a doctor app tomorrow I’m frightened that my stitch may have opened or of a possible infection. Has anyone had similar situation? Did u have to go to A and E I’m worried as I’m breast feeding too and don’t want to be there for hours x

I’m 24 weeks and 3 days and the last 24 hours I’ve been so achy. I don’t think I’m sick I just have all over body aches, almost like growing pains. Has anyone else experienced this??

Any girl mums that didn’t experience morning sickness? I’ve noticed those that carry girls seem to get it quite bad?
With my boy I didn’t get it much either.
