HOSPITAL BAG NECESSITY!!

I put this in all caps because it’s so important to pack this especially if it’s not your first baby.

The WORST pain I felt in the hospital post-partum was the cramps 😭😭 when your uterus contracts to slowly go back to normal size the cramps can last for days and be so brutal worse than the contractions. The night I spent in the hospital I didn’t pack this and I wish I did because I was in so much pain.

YALL PACK A HEATING PAD.

It will save your life I swear. The Motrin won’t help most times, but a heating pad really does help.

As soon as I was able too I showered in the hospital but was just really putting scorching hot water on my stomach because I was in so much pain I wanted to literally curl up in a ball and die. (I had my baby last Thursday 3/14) I really wish I had packed a heating pad and I definitely will if I have another baby in the future.
