C-Section Prep: What Should Be In my Hospital Bag?

Question

Had our 36+3 check up yesterday, and baby is still breech. Doctor is scheduling a c-section, but also confirmed that my body is naturally progressing with labor, almost dialated 3cm and 60% thinned out. I had a vaginal birth with my first, and it was super easy.

Any mommas out there have some feedback on what helped with their c-section, what they wouldn't have made it without, what they should have packed?

I have a general list: 
Two nightgowns / robe 
My own pillow 
Calf length Tshirt dress to go home in
Granny panties

What else?

Answer

Have they even tried to manually turn him? My friends baby was breech up until 37 weeks and they had a nurse at the top of her uterus and the dr down low and they turned her son around into position. It was painfully uncomfortable but trust me much better than a c-section. I had one with my first and will have a repeat this time. It's worth asking about it!

Answer

As for things to pack. I am packing a couple gowns, slippers, don't worry about panties with ur incision the net panties are way more comfy than ur own. I actually wore them at home. Bathroom stuff, blow dryer (you have to blow dry your staples) and then other necessities such as phone charger, extension cord, camera/cam Corder
