I had an emergency csec last delivery. What I missed out having at the hospital was the binder which aids in reducing the pressure from the weight of the belly fat over the wound. It helped that my mil bought Papaya as I had constipation and also boiled some red dates tea for me. Cos hospital wouldn't give you very good stuff to eat. Other than that the rest of the stuff are standard, like hospital will provide bb diapers, your maternity pads, compression socks. Also my boobs became like rocks and it was horrible cos cold cabbage din work to reduce engorgement. Had to get nurses to help me massage it away. Eventually at home I found that warm massage using hot towel helped. Hope these helps!!
