In preparation for all things baby, I decided to prep some little postpartum kits for myself as well! I have no idea what to expect once baby arrives as it sounds like women can experience a variety of symptoms. I wanted to make sure each of our bathrooms were well stocked with some self care items so that I can make sure I am as comfortable as possible!
From doing a little bit of online research, I decided to stock up on:
- Tucks Cooling Pads
- Always Discreet Postpartum Underwear
- Dermoplast
- Perineal Spray
- Heavy Pads
- Light Pads
- Overnight Maxi Pads
- Peri Bottle
I do expect to be provided postpartum care for the hospital stay as well as extras to take home, so I didn’t order an abundance of supplies, but wanted to have a small stock ready to go so that I am not scrambling to order more as soon as I get home from the hospital.
I’ve heard really great things about this Frida Mom Peri Bottle. As opposed to the ones provided in the hospital, this one has the angled spout, which means easier to aim!
Making ‘padsicles’ seems to be quite popular, but I am either too lazy (way pregnant, lol), or just hoping that everything I’ve prepared will be enough! The Tucks Pads are supposed to be pretty helpful, and if all else fails – we always have some normal ice packs in the freezer.
I’ll update how everything worked, and if I needed more once baby is here and we are into the swing of things!
