Induced on Thursday! Postpartum products?

Question

I am so excited to meet my little Bella Scottlyn 💗 I'll be induced on Thursday, June 4/15 at 39 weeks and 2 days! What postpartum things and tips did you mamas use after you had the baby? I am stocked up on huge pads but what else is there? I'll be having a vaginal delivery of everything goes as planned (:

Answer

Dermoplast numbing spray (or a more natural alternative) for the lady bits after delivery ;) my hospital provided a can and it was amazing!

Stool softener, I think dulcolax brand was recommended last time. Take early on with any pain pills to make sure things are smooth moving ahea of time ;)

Snacks handy for you when feeding the baby...I always realized I was starving as soon as I sat down to nurse baby. And have water nearby too!

That's all I can think of off the top of my head :) oh! Nursing pads if you don't have any yet...I'd assume you still leak everywhere those early days even if you don't breastfeed ;)

Good luck!!

Answer

I haven't tried them yet but I have heard rave reviews for padcicles! All you do is take some of your oversized pads and smear aloe and witch hazel on them and put them in the freezer. They seem like they will be much more comfortable than the ice cubes in a diaper that they give you at the hospital!

Answer

Depends. I know everyone buys pads for after, but those paper underwear were a blessing with my first! They don't fold or shift, and they're more absorbent (no leaks). They were also fantastic after my water broke, but awesome post partum.

Answer

Tucks medicated wipes are nice to line your pads with. I made a batch of padsicles too. You might also want to get a stool softener

Answer

Im definitely going to try padcicles! I've heard great things about them!
