Snacks- Lucozade, flapjacks, crisps, juice, water,
Arnica for wound healing. Big maternity pads for blood loss.
Magazines ((my baby would not sleep in cot thing so ended up reading mags at night to stay awake as I did'nt want to fall asleep holding him)
Facial wipes and wash bag you will have to have a shower aprox 24 hrs after section but facial wipes help you to freshen up at other times.
Baby bag with all baby essentials for 48 hrs. I then packed a spare baby bag which I left with OH for him to bring in oif neccsary. Same with yr own bag leave some spares with OH so that if needed he brings the right thing.
If I think of anything else I'll post it hope this helps xx

I was given great advice to put a maternity pad (sanitary towel) on the inside of your trousers or pants for where your scar is. It worked really well and was gentle against the scar, stopped clothes rubbing on it etc.
Good luck )
