The one and only thing I remember (that I forgot to take) is really good cushioned toilet paper. But I suppose a c-section birth doesn't warrant that so much!
Nope, sounds good to me. Don't forget a book or two or your ipod for the time in between visitors etc. I found that even tho I was tired etc, it was a good distraction. The ipod helps to drown out the other hospital noise (esp during sleep).
Oh and perhaps a cardigan or zip up jacket/jumper. Just in case it gets a bit cold in the hospital. Or dressing gown
Good luck and can't wait to read the announcement!

slippers
(i went to hospital via an ambulance, dressed in JUST my dressing gown, and didn't have slippers for the entire five days i was in hospital. Many times, they would have been really useful).
even if you don't feel like eating fruit, or the little packets of cut up fruit in juice on the meal trays, when they are brought to you, store these things in your bedside drawer, for times you DO feel like a snack. The first bowel motion is a milestone after your c-section, so if you can bring it on naturally (by eating fruit) instead of having to take medicine (or have a suppositry), that's one less medicine to take.
It depends on which hospital you're going to... I had my last bub at SJOG Murdoch & will be in there again this Friday for my C/S!
I'll be taking cash for vending machines... because sometimes it's the middle of the night and you just need that sugar boost when you've not eaten since 5.30pm dinner and won't be served anything again til 7am!
Also if you're going private, some places have refridgerators in your room (SJOG does) and you can take along some of your favourite drinks & snacks to keep you going... sounds like I'm all about food doesn't it!
Some private hosp's also have dvd players (my one in Geraldton did), when I ended up having an emergency caesar there, hubby went & hired dvd's for me to watch during the long quiet days recovering.
Thanks Girls
I forgot to mention that I also have moved out of my hand bag & back into a nappy bag so that has my personal stuff including camera.
Have added to today's must buy list, magazines (nearly finished my book) and some small packets of dried fruit
I will be at Kaleeya leebee so no luxuries like a fridge but they are pretty awesome otherwise Good luck for Friday!!
