for you: disposable knickers from Tesco. very good and if you have a c-section use your partner/ husband boxers. They are starngely very good as it does not cut over your scar.spare clothes, maternity sanitary towels. for the baby, a baygrow, nappies, a hat, a coat, a blanket. Maybe you will be lucky to go home soon after the birth. That is what happened to me and that was the best thing ever. good luck.
