Okay. Sort of a gross topic, but you're all Mommas and have been through this or are goin to go through it. I know you…

Lol, honestly the recovery is/was the worst part, to me at least. And thats only because it's such a lengthy process. I was a wimp through labor and asked for all pain meds, and after it hurt but it wasn't like you think I guess. They give you a squirt bottle for after you pee and it's such a life saver! You'll be okay, I promise. I'm not just saying that to make you feel better, yes it does suck, obviously, but recovery doesn't last forever, that's what I kept telling myself. 😂 at least you have people to tell you about it, I didn't and was blindsided. 😐

@their.bomb.ass.mom, depends was a lifesaver for my stitches and my sanity lol!

The more I read the more I just want to cry. lol. The recovery honestly scares me more than anything else. I don't do well with pain and stuff and Ive never had stitches and it honestly scares me. I guess I'm just gonna cry everytime I pee after I have her, lol.

I really think this time I'm gonna get some Depends for the first while after, they seem so easy. idk why I didn't think of them in the first place. 😂😂 @dezziesmomma

I wore the hospitals mesh underwear and there pads for as long as I could, and they are the best especially for the first week or two, but I Google the best post partum pads for stitches and they said the always overnight in the blue package were good and thats what I used and liked them after my hospital pads ran out. If you do tear you have the be careful what pads you buy because of the different texture on them can pull the stitches.

To be completely honest, I wore depends adult diapers after I ran out of disposable underwear. it worked pretty well. Especially because I had tearing and had to get stitches and the sticky part of the pad got stuck to my stitches and ripped them.

I just used regular over night pads they worked fine.

I loved the u by Kotex and they always worked for my normal period (even for overnight) but you're going to want the heavy duty overnights at least the first week or so.

i had to only use the overnight.
