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

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.

@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 😁😇

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.

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.

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

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 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.

@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.

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

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

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