What should I pack for myself in the hospital bag to ease postpartum pain while still in hospital

Question

Hallo Postpartum mamas. Am giving birth to my baby in 4 weeks and I wonder what are those things you need. I have heard there is a lot of discomfort that goes on after the birth and I will be staying in hospital for 3 days so would like to know what are those life saving essentials that we normally don't think about.

Answer

They give you everything you need at the hospital drug wise for pain relief. I didn’t like the mesh undies and pads so my mom bought me adult diapers to wear while I was there. I only brought some sweet pants tank tops and a sweatshirt and a robe

Answer

I brought witch hazel pads from amazon for hemorrhoids! Also, ask the nurses for ice packs whenever you feel a bit of pain! I delivered vaginally and the ice packs worked wonders! I was not in a lot of pain afterwards and didn’t need any pain medication once I left the hospital!

Answer

Hospital provides all for pain, you might need more “comfort” stuff tho... I also got adult diapers, they were much better than the mesh undies from hospital (I recommend going with a much larger size, since you’ll likely to be bloated)
- take some comfy pjs that are easy for you to breastfeed, take some breastfeeding bras and a robe
- I took my pillow and made a world of difference 
- I suggest taking a blanket for your significant other... you will be HOT but he/she might freeze!! (Every nurse that walked into my room asked if I was cold and if I wanted them to raise the AC... truth be told, I was sweating!!
Hope this helps!

Answer

The hospital provided all pain relief for me both times. They had ice packs (my favorite), witch hazel pads, dermoplast, and of course ibuprofen and Tylenol. They let me take everything home with me too.
