Every journey is different, but here is what I found helpful.
Game changer when you can't eat any more but need some flavor and a distraction!

Hydration is so important and the hospital cups just do not keep your water cold. A Stanley will never let you down!!

Post Partum - Your after essentials
I had 3 C-Sections so my essentials will differ from others, but these items are great for after any birth.
Way better than what the hospital provides, doesn't look like a diaper under your clothes, and just moves with you so much better. Post C-Section approved as well!

When you finally make it to the after birth shower, no one once to dry off with a tiny hospital wash cloth “towel.” Get yourself a bath SHEET. You won't regret it. Bonus tip: Get a color other than white so the hospital knows it is not theirs.

Trust me. You are going to want this. It will be your saving grace post birth.

Buy this but DO NOT OPEN IT. You are going to want these items on hand, BUT if you end up in a C-Section these items likely won't be needed and you can return this kit! Such a great group of products.

This robe is light enough to not make you hot, but still covers easily. I loved having it to throw on quickly if needed but it was also comfy enough to sleep in! I have the M/L in Chocolate.
