Everything started above especially mayernity pads x 2 packs (boots thick ones are the best) flipflops, fan, hair tie, extra long phone cable, own pillow (a full one as hospital pillows are pancakes), eye mask, lip balm
PLUS
Best 2 things I brought:
water bottle with a built in straw - allows you to drink when lying down. Brilliant for labour and breastfeeding / recovering in bed
Portable bidet - look on Amazon- basically a water bottle with a sprayer on - to use when going to the loo after to dilute the stinging from urine
Other things I was grateful for:
Fem fresh soothing wipes - feels so nice and cool - for use in hospital and during recovery
lots of bottles of lucozade sport, cereal bars, jelly babies (recommended by nct for energy and were really good even though I dont usually eat them), some type of savoury snack - I brought a big bag of hummus crisps and they were amazing after birth and lasted for on the postnatal ward too
