That's it really, this is DC4 the others have been (almost) straight forward natural births. This one is going to be a planned section due mainly to being a feet first breach, but with other complications, which are nothing on their own but it all adds up.

So bags have been packed for straightforward birth.
What do I need to pack extra? Swap for other things? What happens about a shower and skin to skin?
That sort of thing.

I had a cs with ds, and all I'd add is take a shower gel with a handle, that you can hang from the shower. My local hospital didn't have a shelf to put shower gel on, and with a cs you can't bend down to pick things up from the floor.

I went in on Monday, and came home Thursday (Mon was on bed rest, with a catheter, Tues catheter was removed and I could get out of bed/have a shower. Weds I was allowed to pick ds up from his cot, and Thurs went home)
