Postpartum for c section moms?

Question

What are essential postpartum items for those of you whom have had c sections? I just got postpartum things for vaginal delivery but it occurred to me due to new medical findings I might be up for c section and have no idea what I would need and would like to be prepared in case

Answer

High rise undies, normal ones rub on your incision.

Answer

Nightdresses for Hospital are a must. You’ll be catheterised and then it’s easier to get your nickers up and down when you go the toilet. Any bending in the middle is difficult. 
High waisted knickers they need to sit on your tummy well above your bikini line 
Other than that i wouldn’t say anything different tbh

Answer

Depends underwear, high waisted cotton underwear that go well over your incision, stool softener, a cosleeper or bassinet next to your bed (the Halo was wonderful for me), a reading pillow with armrests for breastfeeding support in bed, pre-cut/measured crock pot meals to just throw in and forget about, a postpartum support belt (the pressure feels good on your incision), high waisted leggings and loose dresses, slip on shoes so you don’t have to bend down.

Answer

You don’t really need anything, actually, except for some extra support getting up and out of bed because you will be very sore. If anything, stool softeners.

Answer

High waisted underwear are a must. Got to keep waistbands away from the incision.

Answer

I had an unexpected c-section after a failed induction. Loose knit pants with a high rise waistband were very helpful. My husband went out and bought several pair from Motherhood...I think they are actually pajama pants, but they pass easily for regular wear. I had a lot of swelling in my legs and feet afterwards and could not get my maternity pants on.

Answer

Just make sure u have pants that don't hit the incision line. I had an unexpected csection and unfriendly pants. Also don't be afraid to ask for help, it hurt to carry my purse so ask for help.
