Answer

I’m having a repeat csection, this time around I’m going nightgown for recovery and pants for home that don’t hit incision. Slippers and robe. Charging cord for phone that is long to reach bed and dry shampoo.

Answer

Snacks and a big water bottle!

Answer

For baby I’m only bring 2 outfits, hospital supplies diapers

Answer

Loose fitting or maternity pants. You don't want anything rubbing or sitting on your incision. I wore a nightgown and robe while I was there with slippers. Also a loose fitting shirt for going home. They provided mesh underwear (surprisingly comfy) and different size pads. I like to buy the travel kit with shampoo, deodorant, conditioner, ponytails and toothpaste/brush. Money for my kids/husband to get snacks and phone charger.

Answer

This was in a book that my doctor gave me as a guideline! Hope it helps!

Answer

Comfy underwear and clothing. Nothing too tight or with a tight waistband. 
Liners and pads. 
They told me to put a liner over the area of the c section. 
They provided me with Advil and Tylenol and stool softeners. So I had to get that when I left the hospital as we only had Tylenol at home. Also they suggests to keep taking stool softeners which I strongly recommend.

Answer

Buy some large for you, soft, comfy undies. You’ll be swollen in your undie region for a few days... they’ll provide you with some hospital parties and might even give you some to take home if you ask. But, just in case, bring some big comfy underwear! Trust me.

Answer

Ok Thankyou everyone your comments really help. I may bring a few extra baby outfits incase I’m in for longer than ....well how long are you normally in after a c section?
