Ask your hospital what they supply. Mine supplied everything for bubs and pads, etc, for me, so I didn't need those.

I did take along a few of the night-time slim normal pads and I was very glad I did! Those bulky maternity things were awful and I didn't find them necessary.

Take along some of your maternity clothes, as these will fit afterwards and be comfortable. I didn't like lying around in my PJs/nighties all day, even when I was in bed, so they didn't get much use. Make sure you have things that can unbutton down the front to give easy access for bfing.

Your camera - 'cause you can take that into the surgery!
