Did anyone ever use PADSICLES for after having your baby??

Question

I hear a lot of people making these and it really helped their healing process but is it safe? Like would a doctor recommend it?

Answer

honestly I just used the ice packs provided at my hospital and dermoplast spray and then I took a few ice packs home from the hospital and within a few days i didn't need them anymore

Answer

My OB said not to. She said shes seen some people get infections from them

Answer

I had a bunch pre made, then ended up having an emergency c section. I’ve heard great things about them though.

Answer

I did!  Witch hazel is a great antiseptic and doesn’t sting at all.  My only complaint is that they don’t stay cold very long.  With my second, I just used tucks wipes to line my pad and an ice pack if I wanted it.  Honestly the chance of infection is pretty low as long as you are changing your pad often (every time you go to the bathroom) and urging a peri bottle.  Dermoplast spray is great too!

Answer

Our hospital stocked the freezer in the maternity wing with them, but I never felt the need to use them there or at home.

Answer

I never needed that or ice packs. 2nd degree tear, no big deal for me. It felt itchy when healing so dermoplast felt great then, they gave that to me in the hospital. 
Honestly I was so scared of postpartum because of stories and what people tell you to prep with, but thankfully my experience was totally fine. 
I would recommend buying more big pads though. I tried to ask for more in the hospital and they barely gave me any. I had to use target pick up for more lol

Answer

The hospital gave me ice packs. But unless you tear you probably won’t even need them.

Answer

Never actually premade any for my first, had witch hazel pads and would occasionally pop in a mini cold pack for a few minutes. With my second, I still used the witch hazel pads but was given some dermoblast, and that combo worked really well for me. And some sitz baths to help with pad rash.

Answer

I didn't ask my doctor, but I've heard other people mention to make sure the witch hazel doesn't have alcohol in it. I was going to make some but never got around to it (had my daughter at 37 weeks) but I'm glad I didnt, i only used the ice packs at the hospital the first day and after that I didnt need anything. I've also head people say it's not pleasant when they melt, it's a goopy mess!!

Answer

Would love to know this answer as well! Thanks for asking
