Hospital Bag

I am starting to pack my hospital bag for my schedule c-section on Oct 24th. Anything special you would suggest since I am having a c-section?

Button down pajama top with pants that can be worn above your incision. A robe and slippers to walk the halls, your own pillow, blanket and towel.

I took yoga pants and nursing tanks. Pads for leaving the hospital and undies that won't rub your incision - def not a thong lol!

I was not prepared for how much my legs would swell... For me it was worse then anything durring pregnancy. My c section was not planned so I was happy I had bought some granny panties that Where high cut and high wasted, I felt like the mesh disposable ones they gave me cut my circulation. I also had wide leg black Cotten/spandex pj pants, amazing bc my yoga pants where to tight.

I'd recommend bringing a Boppy (or a similar nursing pillow). Since you don't realize how much you use your abs for EVERYTHING i was surprised at how much holding up DD hurt. I don't think it matters if you breastfeed or not, having that soft pillow wrapped around you makes for a great 'shelf' to rest the baby while you admire your miracle.

I second the light and ill add long bathrobe. Great for breastfeeding and if its long enough no pants required! Win win. That's what I wore the first whole day post op. then I switched to loose fitting maternity leggings so there was no big seam digging into my incision and nursing tops.

Loose clothes, granny panties...I was stuck in the hospital robe longer than I would have liked due to the delay in removing my Epi from my back...Once I was cleared to shower...wearing my own clothes was HEAVEN

I had to walk the halls until I passed gas or had a BM, which is a must after anesthesia at my hospital. I walked and walked and walked.  So I recommend house slippers and a zip-up robe.
