hey what's that cooling spray everybody uses after the birth to help pain down there? There a certain brand I should…

It's dermaplast but the hospital should give you some.

oh good to know..what else do they usually provide? @jacesterlingsmommy

Witches hazel. Pretty sure that's what it's called. They provide that in the hospital.

@jacesterlingsmommy, is correct and you can ask for more and they should send you home with plenty. They provide a whole bunch of things for you and babe. For you it should include pads, the mesh panties, dermaplast and mine also gave a few tunes of nipple cream because I was breast feeding.

I got the spray (I never even came close to using the whole bottle, they sell it at walmart), mesh undies, bag of pads, squirt bottle and tucks pads.

If there's absolutely anything you need definitely ask! They should be able to give you anything you need. Before we left I made sure to ask for extra gauze and petroleum jelly for my son's circumcision.

I went through a whole one when I was in hospital lol @jacesterlingsmommy they sent me home with like 4 bottles 😂

And take anything you can get your hands on. I took almost all of the diapers out of his cart and when he came back he had a new pack. I ended up with 3 packs of huggies diapers. Also take some baby blankets. Best way to get extra stuff is ask a different nurse on shift change, they won't know if you just got more of something.

Wow. lol. Then again my nurse told me not to use too much or everytime you change your pad. @phinnybinz

I used the tuck pads more than anything. My hospital had bags of pads already made up with like 5 of the huge ones a bunch of smaller ones and then a bag of even smaller ones. I asked for more of the huge mommy diapers and they said they couldn't give me more 😑 I was mad! luckily my cousin had some unopened ones leftover from her birth I got. That's the one thing I definitely recommend stocking up on is pads! For me the always brand overnight giant ones with wings were the best.

@jacesterlingsmommy, Yeah, the spray felt so nice. They definitely didn't give me any warnings about too much...but this was almost 14 years ago lol. With the pads I kept putting them in my bag as they brought them...so they had to bring more all the time 😁😇

Oh I definitely would have been hiding the pads if they'd bring me more. I asked several different nurses and they all said the same thing. @phinnybinz

Maybe they just didn't want to bring me mkre spray lol. I honestly didn't have too much of a problem down there. Biggest thing was that it was a little sore from being stretched out. lol I wish I would have asked for another suction bulb. A second one would have come in handy. Yes though I did get the Lansinoh nipple cream as well.
