Postpartum checklist?

Question

Hey y’all 29 weeks tomorrow and want to make sure I have all I need for postpartum ready in case baby comes early.
What sort of big maxi pads are best?
Are disposable undies a good idea? 
Peri bottle 
Perineum foam
Aloe?
What form can I buy witch hazel in? (I’m sure that my witch hazel toner for my face would NOT work lol.)
What else is good to have handy?

Answer

the hospital will give you everything you need, they do around me at least, so don’t waste your money on it! i would highly suggest adult diapers instead of pads though, much much more comfortable and you don’t need to worry about leaking through

Answer

I just used these postpartum pads and the peri bottle. The hospital will provide postpartum items for you as well! Like dermoplast, mesh underwear, pads, peri bottle, and perineal cold packs

Answer

If it's pure or diluted witch hazel with no additives (and some witch hazel toners are), then actually it is safe to use. Otherwise, Tucks has small pads soaked in witch hazel that work great. 
I'd also make sure you have some Panty liners for the end of recovery when you're not bleeding enough for a pad (also great because the bleeding can stop and start back up again a few days later, so the liners help protect your underwear if/when that happens)

Answer

Even the hospital will provide some for you and I brought this as extra, but it's comfy. 
And this spray help do much better than the ice packs

Answer

Diapers instead of pads 100%
