Nat, I was in hospital for 8 days and I never had enough! My recommendations.....
buy the cheap BLACK undies so you can turf them-I also had the mens ones and they were great. In regards to the best "surf boards" I found the Kotex maternity ones the best. They were very soft and didn't aggrevate down there if you have stiches. Slippers, PJ's or nighties (get ones with buttons up the top like nanna ones if you are going to breast feed) take in some trackies and a t-shirt it is nice to get out of your PJ's. Hair ties and clips, you don't have the luxery to do your hair nicely just wash it and pin it back. A hair dryer and then your toiletries. My first night I had a catheter in and couldn't get up and had to rely on the midwives to change my pad and because I slept like a baby I made a huge mess and my PJ pants were ruined and thrown out, so don't take in your fav PJ's! Go to Best and Less and get el cheapo PJs and they still are cute.
