Postpartum Essentials
Ready to get super close and personal? These are the products I lived by the first three weeks post birth. Quick little recap of my delivery: I delivered naturally not via csection and had a relatively uncomplicated birth only having a small tear.
These were a need! Now yes the hospital gave me extra of the throw away undies and you could use underwear you already have however these are soft & stretchy and you don't have to worry about ruining them. These can fit all the big pads/ice packs...

I switched to these once the initial heavy bleeding subsided. What I like is they are thin and flexible.
My doctor told me bleeding may occur for up to 6weeks and sometimes it can stop and start again so to be safe I wanted a liner to be protected. To ensure the whole area was covered I went with the extra long as the regular for me don't always cover 1...
Always consult with your doctor before taking any medication post partum. For pain management I was put on a regiment of alternating Tylenol and Motrin. I took this for the first week after delivery.
Unsexy topic I know but Ladies that first bowel movement after delivery can be uncomfortable or so I was warned. I didn't have that experience because my hospital offered me this a few hours after delivery and I continued taking it for a week. It doe...
