All my favorite things that keep me sane in the fourth trimester! Also please note, I’ve had 2 vaginal deliveries so things I thought were helpful may differ some!
Everything in the kit is great, but the star of it is the disposable postpartum underwear. WAY better than the ones from the hospital! So durable and comfy!
Frida Mom 11pc Postpartum Essentials Kit Gift Set
Feel sooooo good postpartum! Very soothing and perfect for soreness, hemorrhoids, tears, etc! The smell will bring you back years later 😂
TUCKS Medicated Cooling Pads, 100 Count
No one ever talks about the hemorrhoids postpartum, but I will! do yourself a favor and get the preparation H and stool softener! Better to have it and not need it, than to need it and not have it!
Preparation H
No one ever talks about the hemorrhoids postpartum, but I will! do yourself a favor and get the preparation H and stool softener! Better to have it and not need it, than to need it and not have it!
This brand had my favorite nursing/pumping bras by far! Felt more supportive than other nursing bras, and a little thicker which made me feel better about leaking.
Kindred Bravely
I used the pink spectra with my last 2 babies, and plan on doing the same with this one! The blue one doesn’t have to be plugged in, and I’ve heard people love that option too!
Spectra
I tried a few different wearable pumps, and this one was by far my favorite! I have small boobs, and you can definitely see them under your shirt (they stick out far), but they work so well and hold a decent amount!

I’m about to have my 3rd winter baby, so slippers were a must for me! Anything comfy and cozy during your postpartum period comes in clutch.
Mom Slippers
Whether you meal prep ahead frozen meals, receive gift cards to restaurants/DoorDash, or get HelloFresh meals, whatever helps take off the mental load for you postpartum is so important! You have enough on your mind, that meal time shouldn’t have to ...
HelloFresh
Anything that’s comfy and buttons for easy access for breastfeeding is great!
Button Down Pajamas For Women
As much as my husband hates it, I keep the pregnancy pillow around postpartum. Can use it in place of a boppy pillow for breastfeeding. Plus you deserve the extra comfort!

These specific sweatpants became my best friend after my second baby. They’re so soft, high waisted, so comfy! I still love them and plan on buying a few more pairs

Another favorite pumping/nursing bra!

If you pump, I highly recommend getting a pump spray! Helps sooo much with discomfort!
