Ice packs are AMAZING for your hoohaa after labour... I never thought I would be putting ice packs in my undies LOL.
DO NOT go on a 8.5hr car trip 2 days after birth... made my recovery from stitches sooooo much longer and more painful!!! Although, it was to go to my grandad's funeral so i would do it again, but unless it's something like that, DON'T DO IT!!! LOL

Pack LOTS of change of pants and undies!!! Thankfully i did otherwise i would have sent DP home to get me more. I was leaking my waters my whole labour and changed twice and by the third time realised i should just let it do its thing. then after the birth when they said you bled alot i didnt realise it was ALOT i went through another 2 pairs of pants and about 7 pairs of undies
Nurofen and panadol are a MUST i had 2 of each every 4 hours and it helped with the pain of my stitches.
Oh yes Breast pads are definitely another MUST my milk came in 3 days after the birth and i wasnt BF and i went through about 10 a day and during the night i soaked through my tops and even our bed...
I also stole about 5 packs of the hospital pads and jammed about 4 of them in my undies as well as a maternity pad otherwise i leaked EVERYWHERE!!!
Totally stuff NO ONE tells you beforehand.
