Seems like you've got everything... I haven't even thought about packing my bag yet, I should prob do that!!

Just would make sure soap is unscented and gentle it kinda stings incision and make sure clothes and panties are "granny style" lol meaning they will go above incision (i wasnt prepared for that) baby socks?

I was also wondering how many clothes to take for LO as we will prob be in hosp for 2-4 days after. I will just be in gown/pjs I guess but she will need clothes.

Im taking a lovely honey shower gel in from Lush (I work there) as honey is nice and gentle and also a natural healer. Ive been in 'granny pants' since my last section as anything else tickles my scar and irritates me. Ill be coming home in the clothes I go in in.

Not bothering with baby socks as im taking baby grows and gonna leave some extra clean baby clothes in the car just in case

Im just gonna use sensitive baby wipes for down there and Ive got some dettol anti bac wipes.

Last time I was in, the toilets were not too 'fresh' as you can imagine with all those post partum ladies
