C-sections

C-section hospital packing list

I am having another c-section this coming August and I never had to pack for a CS with my last pregnancy because it wasn't planned. So this time I wanna make sure I have what I need....not over pack.... So can anyone help me either add or subtract to the list I have so far? Tell me what you think is and isn't a necessity! Here's what I have so far:
For me:
-slip on slippers
- dark colored Sweatpants and robe/hoodie or jacket
- PJs
-high rise cotton underware you can part with
-bras
-outfits...2-4
-flip flops....a size bigger in case of swollen feet
-make up/brush to make you feel pretty for pics and visitors
-purse/I.D./insurance card
- folder for any paperwork given to you
- birth plan/hospital registration form
- extra duffle bag for taking home gifts
-plastic shopping bags for dirty clothes

Dad/partner:
