Postpartum Bloomers - Bao Bei is the brand I mentioned earlier. You can use “drannie” for 15% off your first purchase.
Frida Mom - disposable bloomers I loved. Something to note: I’ve had a few people have some skin sensitivities to the material, so just keep in mind. Most have no issue.
Pads for postpartum bleeding - get ‘em nice and thick!
Collagen supplements - there are few studies done on rats that show collagen supplementation helped with healing of incisions. Something to keep in mind if you want to supplement during your healing phase.
Scar patches - silicone patches are helpful to improve scar appearance and promote healing. Downside is they are pricey to use long term.
Peri-bottle - I like the Frida brand but any kind will do. You will want to use this as long as you have postpartum bleeding.
Squatty potty - for easier poops. Squatty potty puts the pelvic floor muscles in a relaxed position to decrease strain. Is a staple for all households in my opinion!
Magnesium citrate - MD may recommend an over the counter stool softener, or look into supplementing with magnesium citrate. I like the Natural Calm powder to mix in water or their gummies.
Abdominal binder - I like Bodily Belly Band, but any simple velcro binder will work. Avoid the ones with elaborate strapping. Sometimes the hospital will provide these.
