Is there anything additional you added to your bag if you had a planned c section?

    I had a planned section last Thursday and packed too much.  I changed into my own gown Thursday and Friday and came home in yoga pants and a hoodie.  I made sure I had Chapstick ad toiletries, my iPad and bedroom shoes.  That is pretty much all I used. I had different gowns for Emma.  I enjoyed changing her more than I changed myself, it was easier!

     

    Good luck!

    I had my own pjs, chapstick, hair ties, humidifier (my hospital is dry and that made me cough which hurt a lot), slippers and my pillow.

    I brought my Boppy which helped with nursing, especially since I couldn't move as well.  Also, this isn't so much c/s related, but I wish I brought a nursing cover since there are a million people coming in and out all day.

    Make sure the pants to go home in are not low cut.  That the elastic band sits above the c section scar...At least for me anything touching it was aweful I couldn't stand it....Yoga pants are definately the way to go!!! 

    And I second the nursing cover, I am taking one this time b/c last time was aweful.  And rubber soled slippers b/c they want you to walk a good bit to get the healing started and you may be weak knee'ed at first and those floors can be slick without the rubber soles. 

    Warning No formatter is installed for the format bbhtml

    Last time I brought a ton of stuff I didn't use. I did use the boppy though and don't know how I would have nursed without it, it kept the baby off of my incision. I brought yoga pants last time, but did not want to wear pants so I stayed in the hospital gown the whole time. This time I plan on bringing two nightgowns with buttons, so I can wear something comfy of my own and still have easy access for breastfeeding and incision checks. I know some people prefer to wear the mesh panties home, but I want my own, so I will also bring some granny panties that come up above the incision site (buy them in a dark color in case you do have any pad leaking issues). Chapstick and my own toiletries are also on my list.
