Does anyone have any advice on products that really help get through the first few weeks with baby? It can be for baby or me. I only have a week left and i wanna make sure i have everything.
@justinakristine, go into it feeling positive and confident and remember this is what your body was made to do. Follow your bodies cues and trust yourself
@justinakristine, seriously it wasn’t so bad. Like yes it hurt but by the time I wanted pain meds it was time to push. And once they let me push I felt way better. I have a high pain tolerance, but I really think people talk about the bad parts of labor. I watched criminal minds to focus through my contractions, I got up and walked when I felt restless. I had a rocking chair and a birthing ball brought in my room so I could be comfortable.
@jhalsted1995 how was it being induced? Because i heard its horrible and way worse than going into labor on your own and I'm being induced next week so I'm nervous asf
@krisfreeman, I was so mad. Stuck in a hospital. Random contractions. Hooked up to monitors. 18 hours of other women having babies. It was hard to wait but once Pitocin started I was only in labor for 2 hours.
Yeah i have nipple cream already because pregnancy made my nips super dry. i got a double electric breast pump free through insurance. I got nursing pads at my baby shower and Breast milk storage bags so I'm all set on the nursing part.
@krisfreeman, my water broke and I still had to be induced. I swore I peed myself and didn’t want to go in. My doctor made me get checked out and I had to be monitored and get induced the next morning.
@jhalsted1995 me too 😂😂😂 and I kid up not, when she cried... by boobs tingles and started dripping with milk! We had to get a mattress protector (like what you get for kids who wet the bed) LMBO
yeeeees ! L A N O L I N if you plan to breastfeed. @justinakristine If You Don't Listen To anybody else, listen to @jhalsted1995 because this stuff works MIRACLES on cracked, painful nipples. Oh & breast pads because milk will leak everywhere. Especially when the baby cries 😂
@vintagegrl81 lol it's ok. The hospital gives you this thick and bulky padded ice pack to wear after delivery if you have a tear or just for comfort...A whole human being just came out your cooch 🤣🤣 you usually wear that and some netted/mesh underwear until you leave the hospital.

@krisfreeman, how do you wear an ice pack there too while your bleeding????? I’m sorry I’m a FTM and have no idea what to expect
Lanolin and a manual pump if you’re breastfeeding. Make padsicles. Preparation H. Coconut oil for your belly. A heating pad(when you breastfeed your uterus contracts, feels like labor all over again) for my baby I made sure to have clothes diapers wipes and extra blankets right next to my bed.
@justinakristine it didn't bleed through on me... the first couple days I was still wearing the ice pack so it caught most of the blood. After that, no I didn't wear a pad. It didn't go through or mess up my clothes. @vintagegrl81 to be safe though, because everyone's flow is different...wear a pad at least the first time & see if you need one from then on.
I recommend you get the depends ((don't judge)) but they're good for all that postpartum bleeding and they aren't all big & bulky. Imma show you a picture of the ones I had last year...
