Answer

Answer

Still ttc so no personal experience, but they sell postpartum pads and the mesh panties on Amazon.

Answer

The hospital provided enough for me.

Answer

I used always infinite overnight the same as I use for my regular period. Everyone made me think Post partum was gonna be like some crazy flood of bleeding and I thought I would need diapers lol but for me by the time I left the hospital it was just a normal heavy period. The diapers they give you in the hospital are great while you're there but by the time you leave they aren't necessary I never used the ones I brought home.

Answer

In hospital now recovering from delivery. Really digging the wah underwear, hoping to nab some on the way out tomorrow.

Answer

Depends, also the spray anesthetic the hospital gives you is the best.

Answer

Always overnight

Answer

Dermoplast pain relieving spray.  It's antibacterial and if you end up with stitches it will save your life!  I have a can in my bathroom already : ). Also the hospital will offer you a water bottle to squirt clean when you pee.  Take it home with you!  You won't want to do more than pat dry!  Tucks pads were a life saver too!  Stock up on all of it!  Best case scenario you won't need any of it but if you do need t you'll be sooooo glad it's already in your bathroom!
