What to pack for a planned C Section?

[DLW91]

Hi, just popping over from 2nd Tri! I’m only 26 weeks but starting to think about getting things together, I want to be ready just in case I do happen to go into labour early, I’m on maternity already so have got lots of spare time on my hands to get organised!!

I’m having a planned section, my daughter was an emergency but was 6 years ago and I just can’t for the life of me remember what I packed!! I’ll be having baby first week of September so I’m starting to worry whether it’s going to be hot or starting to get chilly by then, what to pack for baby and me, i think im over thinking things but just wondered what everyone else packed? I’m also planning on formula feeding which I didn’t do before - do I need to take my own formula and bottles? I’m in the UK if that makes any difference.

Thanks ladies xx

With a csection whatever clothing you bring make sure it is over bump as the scar will be tender.
Big knickers!
Maternity pads,
Breast pads,
Hairbands,
Lip balm,
Snacks,
Nighty,
And loads more but those are the essentials i can think of off the top of my head
