What do I need for a c-section?
Last night I packed my hospital bag. I’ve been getting really strange tummy pains and just want to be ready in case anything happens. I know I’ll be having a c-section but what do I need to take into hospital? a new nightdress and dressing gown clothes to go home in maternity towels and pants…
