Packing my hospital bag today for a c section?
I also had a c-section, so those loose fitting clothes and underwear will really come in handy. You will probably want a pair of house shoes to walk in...those floors can be so cold and slippery too, so try and get some with a non slip bottom if you can...socks work too, but I didn't want to just walk around in them in the hospital..plus my feet were really swollen so socks weren't very comfortable for me. You will probably want other toiletries such as a tooth brush, body wash,etc...(you are probably planning on bringing those, just thought I would add them). A pillow,blanket, or both..I just felt more comfortable with my own..and those hospital pillows can be rather flat. Nursing bra's if you plan on feeding, if not you may want to take an extra bra anyway. Sanitary pads,the hospitals pads can be uncomfortable and bulky..they were for me. Hair Tye's.to pull your hair back with. I forgot mine..lol. Snacks for the hospital stay..you will want something to snack on. For the baby, you can bring your own pacifier (if you are going to give the baby one). Most hospitals only have a certain kind, so if you want to bring your own..its fine. The provide all baby care items. However, the hospital that I delivered at provided long t-shirts for the babies to wear and then kept them wrapped it blankets. I brought my own clothes and socks (they didn't provide them) for the baby to wear. I hope this helps. Congrats and good luck.
