Answer

Husbands swim trunks.
I was in terrible pain having co traction’s while waiting for epidural guy and he was going to be awhile.  The ONLY thing that helped was my husband helping me into the hospital shower and holding me/helping me and holding the shower head with warm water to my belly.  It helped me SO much.
The reason he wore trunks is because nurses are coming in and out every minute to check on you lol.  
Bring hubby swim trunks everyone!! This was a LIFE Saver omg!

Answer

Snacks! I didn't pack snacks with my son and I regretted it so much. I ended up sending my dad for some, which isn't an option this time due to the virus. Also tens lady pants were so comfy and cushioned my stitches so well, so I'm taking even more of them this time. For clothes I go for loose fitting, like a wrap dress for going home and a nightie for during your stay (my abdomen was really tender for a few days after giving birth so I couldn't stand anything with a waistband).
For baby is varies by the hospital and amount of time you expect to stay so it's hard to really advise.

Answer

Dermoplast, deodorant, 2 pairs of undies, 2 pairs of socks, 1 pants, 1 shorts, sports bra. For baby I have 2 pjs, 2 outfits, 2 hows, 2 receiving blankets, 1 fleece blanket, 1 regular swaddle, 1 fleece swaddle, binki, and socks
