C-Section Recovery Guide ❤️🩹
15
items I've compiled a list of what got me through 3 c-sections. And btw, the best tip I can give you?
It’s something money can’t buy and nothing on this list can replace: it's walking. Get up and WALK as soon as they get you up for the bathroom that first ...
1. These pants are a lifesaver mostly because they are so comfortable and soft on the inside
2. Because they are black - whether you had a c section or v-bac, you’re gonna be bleeding. And black is a color you can relax in. No worrying if your adult...

In my 3rd pregnancy I ended up with preeclampsia. And my ankles were SWOLLEN. It was so uncomfortable and I was in the hospital for 6 days. These compression socks became my best friend. For about a month after I wore these to help my body not retain...

I’ve had 3 c sections. And after each one I’ve used some sort of scar gel. This thus far has been my favorite. I use it every night and so far so good! The scar of course is still there but it has remained flat and not red

Whether you breastfeed, pump or let your milk dry out, there's gonna be milk everywhere! At least for the first few days. And rather than ruin anything nice that you bring from home, just go with a nursing sports bra.

These slippers have gotten me through 3 kids. The only floor they have touched is the hospital floor. These with a pair of cozy socks and it's all you'll need as long as you're there. Or even good for at home right after. (P.S. mine are black and not...

These will be a lifesaver in the hospital. Most women go sans makeup when you're in the hospital and recovering from a c section, so a little extra love for your skin never hurts! These will have you looking dewy and rested.

This is the only dry shampoo I will ever use. When I was in the hospital for 6 days I wasn't able to wash my hair. And it had even been a day or two since before I went in that is was washed. So all that to say...it was gross. But this miracle in a s...
Perfect hair Day™ Dry Shampoo - Living Proof
Tbh, I wore these for at least a month after my son was born. Mind you, my son was in the nicu the whole time and I was bleeding for quite a while. But I loved that I could just throw this whole thing away. I wasn't destroying my nice underwear. So t...
Frida Mom Disposable Postpartum Underwear Boy Shorts Briefs - Regular 8ct
I would take any supplement from Mary Ruth’s line. But highly recommend you take a postnatal of some kind. Even if it isn’t this one. Your body is on a roller coaster and the postnatal supplement not only helps your body replenish whatever it lost al...

When it comes to belly binders, you do NOT need anything fancy! You will use this a few times and either store it away for the next kid or donate it and get a new one the next time around. As long as you can control the tightness (with the multiple l...
Moolida Post Surgery Abdominal Binder S/M
I just had my 3rd baby in Oct ‘24 and these were new from when I had my other 2 in ‘21 and ‘18. They are really handy and an awesome idea. I use both the sheets and the gel. The gel is “old school” if you will and is great for day to day, do it with ...
