The Fourth Trimester Toolkit for Postpartum
11
items 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...
Frida Mom Women's Boyshort, Grey, Waist 28-42
Could this be my favorite most used postpartum item? Absolutely! My hospital provided me with one and gave me an extra to go home with which was more than I ended up needing. It goes on super cold and sorta numbs the area quickly which for me felt re...
Dermoplast Pain & Itch Relief Spray, 2.75 Oz
Your hospital like mine may give you some ice packs and those do work. What I liked more about these is the ice pack has stick like a pad would so it stays in place better and I found the cold lasted a little longer.
Frida Mom 2-in-1 Postpartum Ice Maxi Pads
Everyone told me to get this.... I even packed it in my Hospital Bag because advice was I'd want this more than the hospital provided one. I believe in being honest-my hospital peri bottle I was able to squirt up however this definitely works better ...
Frida Mom Upside Down Peri Bottle
What I liked about these was the length. It will cover the whole front to back area! I also found it stayed in place better than the circles other brands had.
Frida Mom Witch Hazel Perineal Cooling Pads
Now I didn't end up with hemmroids but I still found these helpful with some burning sensations. The cost for the count is a good deal also.
TUCKS Medicated Cooling Pads, 100 Count
I used a few different options but started with these for the first few days. I think having a longer option and something with wings is essential at least at first when bleeding is at its heaviest. As someone who doesn't normally wear pads I also wa...
Always Maxi Pads, Size 5, Extra Heavy, 36 Ct
I switched to these once the initial heavy bleeding subsided. What I like is they are thin and flexible.
Always Radiant Size 1 Pads, 42 Count
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 Anti-Bunch Daily Liners, Long, 136 Ct
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.
Tylenol Extra Strength 500 mg, 100 Caplets
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...
