Hospital Bag
Such a must! Even though it’s not vaginal, you’re still going to bleed. These are comfortable and I wore one everyday for at least two weeks 😩 bring a whole pack to the hospital just in case.
Incontinence Products for Women
You’re still going to bleed and it’s so hard to bend over and see yourself. Wipes make things a little easier

The upside down feature is a must!! You’ll still look so pregnant after your c section and you simply can’t see yourself down there. This makes it way easier to actually clean yourself without looking
Upside Down Peri Bottle – Frida | The fuss stops here.
Not a necessity but SO NICE when in recovery or at hospital. You can also just tie a bed sheet to end of your bed frame if you have the option to do so. But keeps a lot of pressure off your incision site so you can get your easier
Bed Ladder Assist Rope Ladder with Handle Strap
A good option as well

Having comfortable cute gowns in the hospital was a must for me. I didn’t like the hospital ones especially since you’re gonna be in there for several days. Trust
Ekouaer Women's Button Down Nightgown
Bring your own!! They charge so much if they give it to you. I recommend getting the 500mg ones and taking two, in addition up 500mg of ibuprofen, and 5mg of Oxy (if they prescribed it to you) the combo is a life saver foreal
Tylenol
You’re gonna be there a bit. So make sure you have something to charge your phone with!

If you’re driving , this just keeps things comfy for you
Hysterectomy Seatbelt Pillow with Pocket
Take two of these 😩 do NOT take Tylenol on top of this. Either take two of these OR get a separate Tylenol and ibuprofen. You CANNOT mix two acetaminophen together.
Advil Dual Action Caplets 250mg Ibuprofen + 500mg Acetaminophen, 216 Count
Work smarter not harder 🤷🏾♀️

They should give you some. But straining is a NO. So please either have this on hand or ask them for some if they don’t already give it to you.
