Nup! You don't use any of the labour stuff like, lollies, drinks & that sort of stuff unless you want them for your stay later on. I would highly highly recommend granny undies though. Nice high ones that are a firm fit. Also make sure you have some spare thick surfboard pads to put on your wound for extra comfort. It was quite funny I had one pad for lochia & one pad for my wound all the time LOL! I had problems bending over to put pants on so elastic waits skirts were good that I could pull down over my head!! Otherwise make sure your pants are highwaisted as hipsters can be irritating.
