I was given some disposable undies by the hospital, but they were even worse than the granny knickers I'd bought myself!!

This was a great tip I had during pg and I definitely needed them for a few weeks because I'd had a caesar and the scar sits right where my normal undies end.

Remember also that even if you aren't having an elective c/s there is always a chance you'll need an emergency c/s so it might be a good idea to keep them in the bag for that reason. I know it's not a positive thing to think of when preparing for a birth, but if you're anything like me you like to have all your bases covered and I certainly didn't trust DP to get the right ones if I had to send him to the shops while I was in hospital!
