I'll be having my second dc on friday by scheduled c section. Had a protracted and difficult delivery with dc1 which ended in emcs, so my obstetrician wants to get this one out a bit early as it's back to back and not engaged at 38w.
This is obviously a little different to the first time given i know what's coming, but I can't remember what I need, any helpful tips would be great please!
I'll be fasting from midnight as my surgery is booked for 7.30am. I'll be in hospital for 4-5 nights.
Some questions:
- What did you pack that was particularly useful?
- What should i eat for my dinner the night before țo ease the first bm?
My bag has:
- maternity pads plus tena lady pants things similar to the ones i used last time
- nursing bras, nursing pads, nipple cream, nursing pillow
- comfy clothes that i can feed in that will sit over my scar (mat ones)
- nighty that opens and dressing gown
- flip flops
- phone charger
- toiletries
- snacks - breakfast cereal and muesli bars
- baby clothes, nappies, cotton wool, muslins
- water bottle
Thanks all, much appreciated
