Post c/s care list

After it really hitting me how close things are moving along I'm now in list mode. Lol I want to get a list together of everything I will need post birth. I'll be having a c/s and bottle feeding. I know what I need for babies so this list is all for me. Last set of twins was one vaginal and one c/s and I was unprepared for the c/s part. Ok, so please help me make a list! This would mainly be for when I get home. So far I have...

pads
Advil

Yup, that's it. Lol I know I'll need more but Im drawling a blank. Lol

 

Honestly I didn't have anything more than that with any of my three c-sections ... I think you're fine! Good job with the list! Oh - except maybe a pillow handy if you have to cough.

 

How about meals? I would stock up on paper plates, napkins, plastic silverware, plastic cups....eliminate dishes for awhile. I did that after all my kids for a few weeks, and it was fantastic, one less thing to worry about. I would get some meals in the freezer. Stock up on simple things to cook. We did a lot of takeout, and a lot of frozen pizza's and stuff after the twins

 

I forgot about that. I plan to start making meals to freeze soon.

 

Comfy clothes that are easy to put on and don't hit you around the middle. You can always fall back on maternity wear, but for me, it was depressing to wear the same pants and shirts that I had been while pregnant. So maybe some comfy yoga pants and long tshirts that you'll enjoy wearing even when you get those inevitable visitors?

In addition, check around your house and raise up the low things that you need to bend down and pick up. Shampoo and conditioner off the floor of the shower and onto the hanging caddy, laundry detergent off the floor and onto the top of the washer, etc.

 

This is a great idea!
