Thanks for all the info! Please...if you think of anything else share. I'm getting anxious and nervous! My drs appt is Wednesday and I'm sure I will get more answers.
Another thing, if you bring a night gown make sure it's either a nursing one (if your nursing) the gowns I had were spaghetti strapped so nursing was easy. Plus a good pair of slip on walking shoes, as soon as you can you want to get up and walk around
And make sure you pack enough for being there for about 4 days. So you may want to take a laptop or tablet that you could watch movies on. Hospital cable is always horrible. If you are going to breastfeed, take a nursing pillow along. Even if you don't, it helps to feed the baby, so you don't bump your incision.
Pack everything you would for a vag delivery. But you don't want anything rubbing on the incision. So for pjs pack night gowns (I did long ones because hospitals are cold), a couple of maxi dresses (I stayed in my night gowns in the hospital wore a long sleeve wrap sweater over) maxi to go home in, granny panties that will go high enough to cover the cut ( it's usually right below the panty line), a small pillow (to press up on your stomach if you cough, sneeze, laugh the drive home, etc-light pressure on your incision helps), this time I'm going to try the C-Panty, or look on Amazon you can buy a compression wrap ( they really help-I bought a Bellfit brand), bring some food-when you have surgery eating after is hard-I'm packing some instant soup cups, oatmeal) thick pads (you still bleed),
