Frida Mom Upside Down Peri Bottle

“You won’t need the witch hazel and things bc thankfully you won’t have a side vagina, but you’ll still bleed a lot. So I’d plan for the peri bottle (if you don’t have a bidet) to just help you get clean down there. Some sort of support for your stomach, is great. And then loose clothes around your belly, you won’t want to wear regular pants/jeans for a while. I wore my maternity pants and loose dresses for several weeks after my c-section. Make sure you have both Tylenol and Ibuprofen at home to alternate the pain meds. My OB suggested sticking a pad in the front of my underwear cross ways, over my scar, as a barrier for the first couple of weeks. My belly hangs over where the scar is, so it helped keep the wound dry while it healed. I just changed that pad once or twice a day, depending on if it got dirty for some reason. I know a C isn’t what you had planned, but if you look on the bright side - you won’t have all that vagina pain either! I did great with my planned c-section at 37+2 and LOVED knowing when baby girl was coming. You can also use this time to do the last few things you want to do pre-baby - like get a manicure/pedicure, things like that.”
