C-Section Recovery Must Haves ❤️🩹
14
items These are all things that really helped me feel comfortable during the healing process after a c-section. Everyone heals at a different rate, but I hope you find some of these suggestions helpful 🫶
The first week or so I felt more comfortable sleeping at an incline as opposed to laying down comfortably. Plus this is so helpful for late night feedings. I also love the fact that is has a cup holder so you can stay hydrated if you’re breastfeeding...
Reading & Bed Rest Pillow
My hospital provided this to me and I feel like any additional nutrition is helpful in healing your incision
Wound Healing Drink Packets
You gotta stay hydrated during recovery, so having a good water bottle is a must!
Stainless Steel Insulated Water Bottle
I liked using this antibacterial soap to gently wash my incision site in the shower
Antibacterial Body Wash
This is helpful if you feel like you need a refresh during the day to keep your incision site clean
Sterile Saline Wound Wash
If you have a c-section shelf this is helpful to put over your incision site if you have a hard time keeping it dry during the day/night. Make sure you’re changing it out frequently to keep it clean/dry. You can also spray some of the saline wash on ...
Sterile Gauze Pads
This can help with the appearance of your scar and smooth things out
Silicone Scar Sheets
When you’re ready I feel like a belly binder is nice to use when you’re up and about during the day to help everything feel secure while your body is healing
Frida Mom Postpartum Abdominal Support Binder
These are nice to have during the first few days when you get home from the hospital
High-waist Disposable Postpartum Underwear
These underwear are super low in the front so they won’t rub against your incision site and cotton is the best to wear for breathability and comfort!
Cotton Maternity Underwear
I feel like I had a hundred pills to take at discharge with the pain medication, stool softener, vitamins, etc. so having a pill organizer make my life so much easier
Pill Organizer
Trust me, this will help you get in and out of bed the first few weeks when you have zero core strength during recovery. Install if super easy/temporary and you just slide it under your mattress.
Bed Rail
If you just want to purchase a single item for less stress this kit has a lot of great things included in it to make the shopping process less of a hassle
Frida Mom C-Section Recovery Kit
I loved having these so I could watch videos or shows while I was breastfeeding/pumping so I wasn’t waking up my husband/baby during middle of the night feeds. You’ll also be getting lots of call after you have a baby so being hands free is a must!
