C-section hospital bag question..

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 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 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.

Morning sickness and gender

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.
