    Hospital – front fastening pj’s or nightie , slippers, dressing gown (I forgot mine but they leant me one), sports bra, drinks/snacks for afterwards, something to read or music incase you have a long wait, pillow to put over your chest in the car and prop you up if your’e stopping in a hotel.
    Home – paracetamol and ibrobrufen , laxatives, loads of pillows or v pillow, baby wipes try and make things around the house easy reach. I found I was better on the move during the day. Someone to wash your hair for ye over the bath.
    Hope this helps there’s probably more that I have forgotten but sure other ladies will help in the advice.

    Laxatives are a must lol. I couldn’t have slept without my v pillows either they really helped to stop me sliding down. Just get some things to keep you occupied as it’s so boring sitting and having nothing to do but watch tv lol. It’s not for the first week but Ide recommend getting some savlon for the sores the strapping leaves when you have It taken of it just helps them heal quicker, the last thing you want is extra pain. I was only give ibiprofen and paracetamol with the anti biotics I had to change the paracetamol to co codamol xxx
