What are must haves after giving birth?

Question

What works best to help you have a speedy recovery? What actually works? As far as pain relievers?7 underwear? Ice packs? ETC. What’s necessary and what isn’t? FTM so I’m unsure but want to make sure I can transition easily, I will be giving birth naturally and honestly I’m really anxious about the after math of it. Any input is appreciated!!

Answer

Frozen ice padsicles
Tucks witch hazel pads
A peri water bottle to spray yourself off with
Maxi pads/depends underwear 
Ibuprofen. When you breastfeed or pump you will get cramps like a motherrrrr 🥴😫
Comfy clothes, loose pants, a robe, nursing/pumping bra.

Answer

I found that everything the hospital sent me how with was all I needed. 
Tucks pads
Large pads (moved to regular pads soon after getting home)
Postpartum underwear (didn’t wear these long either) 
Peri bottle
Break and shake ice packs (had so many 2.5 years pp we still use them for injuries)

Answer

My biggest advice is keep your fiber intake up. I had an anal fissure and the pain was worse than labor, it was after every bm and for hours fallowing. I ended up having to have surgery. 
After I give birth this time I am focusing on gut health and healing that part of my body!

Answer

I took some big pads and a peri bottle home from the hospital. Bleeding is pretty heavy at first but tapers off significantly after a few days so then normal period pads were fine. I got a sitz bath and some Tucks pads which were helpful as well. Pooping was a big deal at first - want to make sure to eat fruit or maybe some prune juice to keep your stool soft.

Answer

I was in constipation hellllll afterwards. Every product there is for it,  I used. Get ahead of that and drink benefiber the minute that baby comes out!
Also I went thru lots of nipple balm due to breastfeeding.

Answer

I had two tears and because of that when I would pee it BUUURRRNNEEEEDDD. I highly suggest finding what helps you stay hydrated and STOCK UP. Flavored waters, certain bottles, crystal light, whatever. 
I also would suggest tucks pads, ibuprofen/Tylenol, dermoplast, padsicles, peri bottle, and comfy underwear that’s big enough to fit the pad, ice pack, and swollen parts.
Remember to take it very slow and not do more than you’re supposed to, enjoy the people spoiling you!! I tried to get up and do too much stuff and I regret it. Soak up the cuddles 💗
