C-Section Packing List

So, I'm sure there are plenty of these out there.  But, I am going to post my two cents on this as well.  I feel like I'm well experienced as I've done this 3 times already, getting ready to do it again for a 4th time.

Also, I may need a list somewhere while my brain is still functional.

Here are my recommendations.  Take this into consideration: Since we live on a farm, Mr. P has to go home at night to take care of the animals.  He gets up early to do his chores and returns to the hospital.  This is very handy for picking up things I may have forgotten.

Clothing:
There is so much blood and guts associated with a c/s that I have always stayed in my gown for at least the first day.  No sense in getting my stuff dirty, right?

Nursing tops (even if you're not nursing, these are handy to quickly pop in and out nursing pads.  You make milk regardless of your choice)
Socks - I even recommend packing slipper socks to walk around in
Jacket/Cardigan/Sweatshirt/etc. You never know how you'll feel from one minute to the next.  You thought hormones fluctuated rapidly in pregnancy, wait until post-partum hits.  UGH.
Nursing bras (same reason as above)
Nightgown - not pajamas, nothing two piece, trust me.  But after a day or so in the hospital gown, you'll want something fresh to sleep in.
Going home outfit - I always take a dress and/or very loose gaucho pants.  That incision area will be super tender, and the last thing you want is pants digging into it while you're driving home.  Or walking.  Or laying down.  Because it pretty much any position, it's uncomfortable.

Baby Stuff:
I really don't take much for the baby because I'm nervous about it being lost in the laundry at the hospital.

Boppy/Nursing Pillow - I'm a fan of the Boppy because it's reasonably comfortable (I do prop up the sides with pillows at first.  Just to keep the weight off my tummy).  Also, I had a really hard time getting up to get D out of the bassinet during the night, and I used that on one side of my hospital bed to keep her from rolling off and I got no flak from the nurses.  Some nurses are more strict, but for me, in my state of recovery, no one said a word.  It's not like you can move around without realizing it, you just had abdominal surgery!
Going home outfit - I'm considering getting a premie outfit this time.  My babies are always swimming in their newborn outfits.  They're average weight, but skinny!  Also, this is a big deal for the bigs because I let them pick out the outfit.  
Nursing pads, your preferred bottle/pacifier - Nursing, just like birth, doesn't always go as planned.  I had to pump with my first because I was so sore.  But I didn't have my bottles that I had spent hours researching and deciding on and I was not going to use the crappy hospital bottles.  So I sent my husband home to get them.  Might as well just have one with you, just in case.
Blankets - sometimes the hospital blankets aren't enough.  My oldest was warm-natured, my younger two were always cold.  It was nice to have a soft baby blanket to help keep them warm. 

Other Stuff:
Nipple Ointment - I'm convinced this stuff is made with unicorn tears or something.  It is magical.  It's made at my compounding pharmacy, and you may have to call around to find it.  It's an anti-viral, antibiotic, anti-fungal cream for use between nursings.  I was torn to shreds with B, and it literally healed me completely in 3 hours.  I'm getting my Rx before I go in this time so I have it ready.  Lanolin is great, but if you have a yeast infection, it can actually make it worse.  And that's what I get.  This is good stuff.  Not all-natural, but considering I can continue to nurse, worth it for me.
Food - Seriously.  You'll probably be in the hospital for 3-4 days.  You'll need some snacks during those late-night feedings.  I took a variety - hard candies, chocolate, etc, because Mr. P would also want some snacks while he was there.  
Movies - Late-night television isn't the greatest.  And no one is on Facebook at 3am.  But you will have to stay awake to feed that new little one.  I've found that movies do the best job.  I'd watch a little while nursing.  Pause and sleep some more, repeat.  It's also nice for those long days too.  Sleepy baby means not too much craziness going on.  Plus, you just had abdominal surgery, not like you're going anywhere. I always check out a ton from the local library.  Last time, Mr. P was kind enough to put a few on my iPad because the TV was in an awkward spot in my room.  Plus I could use headphones during D's naps.  Worked out well.
Stuff for older siblings: We are fortunate enough to have childcare while I'm in the hospital but it is nice to have a little gift, snack, books, movie, etc for while they are there.  The baby is cool for all of 5.3 seconds.  Then it's all about the buttons on the bed, plugs, IV thingies, TV remote... You get the idea.  You'll want them to be a little preoccupied after that initial excitement wears off so the rest of your family has time to hold the baby.  My parents are there the morning of surgery, meet the baby, then leave and take the kids to lunch and something fun then come back after dinner for another quick visit.  Then they usually take them home (2 hours away) until the day I go home.  I was worried the kids would feel cheated, but they feel the opposite.  They feel like they got the better end of the deal because they spend the weekend with Grandpa and Nana!  Not everyone is so lucky, so you'll have to tailor this "stuff" to your needs.  
Cookies for your nurses: I have actually never done this.  I had good nurses with my 2nd, but I had AMAZING nurses with my 3rd.  I had a nurse that would bring my husband a tray of food that was refused or the wrong order because she knew he didn't leave to go out to eat.  She spent one of her breaks chit chatting in our room.  She was awesome, and I wished I had brought cookies for her.  She knew we appreciated her, but cookies are always a nice treat, especially since she always talked about her son and the stuff they did together.  I wished I could have given her a treat to share with her son, since she had taken such good care of me all weekend.  So this time, I will bring cookies and if my nurses aren't any good, I will eat them.  But even if the nurses are just pretty good as a whole, a plate of cookies in the break room is always welcome, right?
Snacks for visitors (and their kids): It's always nice to have snacks for others that come to visit, especially if they have kids.  Friends' kids are even less interested in the baby than your own children, so having snacks, movies, books, etc to share will make the visit more enjoyable.  Plus, your friends will appreciate the hospitality and understand just how grateful you are for the visitors.  I know by the third day, I'm begging for someone to come talk to me.  By then, the good drugs have worn off and I need something to keep my mind off of it all.  And come and tell me how stinkin' adorable my baby is.  You know.
Paperwork and ID's: Even to have a baby, you'll need all that paperwork and stuff that your doctor/hospital gave you.  Plus multiple forms of ID, sometimes for Dad too.  Just be prepared.  Better to have it and not need it, than to not have it!
Baby book or other memory keeper - I do digital baby books, but it's nice to have some cardstock to get baby prints and such recorded.  
Camera - Do. Not. Forget. Your. Camera.  You will hate yourself. Camera phone pictures are not the same because hospital lighting is no bueno for pictures.  One with video capabilities is even better.  And make sure you have empty cards and plenty of them.  And full batteries.  And you may want to bring the battery chargers too, 4 days is plenty of time to take lots of pictures.

Anything else you would add?
