One support tip I would add for a mom reaching the end of her pregnancy is to have a plan to prepare for postpartum! Your recovery Postpartum is supper important and sets you up for literally the rest of your life. having things like a sitz bath and a peri bottle with a angled head are great for vaginal tears! dermaplast spray helps with pain and witchazel pads are great for promoting healing and hemrroids. (yes more than likely you will get hemrroids postpartum. and if you dont how does it feel being gods favorite lol) Nursing bras and pajamas will make things a lot more comforatable when your freshly in a diaper and leaking at 12 in the afternoon. having a plan and being prepared before being postpartum will make the experiance a lot more tolerable. I learned the hard way so you dont have too lol.
My favorite item was for sure were the cooling pads because it’s a mess after you give birth in that area ![]()

The cooling pads were the best!
Nipple cream saved my life !
The cooling pads were amazing! However I never had a sitz bath so I’m curious as to know what exactly it is and what it does
Its kind of like a Epsom salt soak only for your bottom. The one I had i ordered a specific soak from Amazon and you just disolve it in warm water and sit on it on the toilet and use the little squeeze handle to spray your bottom. Idk how it exactly works but I do know It helped heal my tear heal super quick. I still use the sitz bath to help with a detox after my period.
Great tips! I liked the adult diapers over the maternity pads. Water and snacks were my best friend, especially when I could not get up to drink or snack because of breastfeeding. I kept water bottles and healthy snacks all around the house.
I completely agree, a plan in place makes for a smoother recovery! Thank you for this ![]()
