hospital bag suggestions

What would be some helpful things to bring? I will be getting a cesarean in 4 days and will be in the hospital for atleast 72 hrs. I think I have everything but suggestions would be great since this will be my first time.

Baby emory boards in case you need to file fingernails down a bit, a small make up kit, comb and brush, camera , phone chargers, chap stick, body cream/lotion, a book to read, a few snack s for hubby/bf while he waits.  The hospital im going to suppliea every thing I may need of I didn't show up with anything,. But those personal items such as my own comfortable  underwear, robe, and pillow is my choice to bring. Don't forget a going home outfit for baby.

Oh and comfy clothes for you to go home in, remember you will still have a belly and will be sore so the last think you want is restricting clothing.

I agree with all the above. Also, PJs, nursing pads, nursing bras, going home outfit for baby, pacifier, hair brush, hair elastics, hair dryer, make up, deodorant, cell phone, charger, camera, tablet, eye glasses, nursing nipple ointment, picture to focus on during contractions, boppy pillow. Hmmmm... I think that's everything in my bag. Lol

Comfortable underwear and pads.  The ones hospital gives you are like diapers. Good luck

Chap stick, a comfy pillow and blanket, slippers, hair ties, lotion, and that's all I can really think of right now outside of the normal stuff like underwear, a robe, etc.
