PP scares me. I feel like things have gotten gross enough with leaky boobs, and having trouble shaving. But adult diapers brings things to a whole new level.
lol I was scared my first pp but was happily surprised! Just better to be prepared
PP scares me. I feel like things have gotten gross enough with leaky boobs, and having trouble shaving. But adult diapers brings things to a whole new level.
I keep denying how much it will suck. When I imagine myself taking care of a newborn I totally block out the fact that my vagina/stomach will be a hot mess.
, I need you STMs to tell me all the things I will want post partum.
This will vary a bit depending on baby's exit route but I think we should definitely do a hospital bag checklist thread in the coming weeks! My number 1 recommended purchase is Tucks pads.
Yes please! Maybe we can get it pinned temporarily? Or I'll just add things to a document as they get posted. I think I'll load up on maxi pads and also some depends because why not.

Id get a few different types of pads as opposed to loading up. I bought tons of maxi pads and only needed them for the first week. I still have a bunch left to use this time. I was lucky and didnt have super heavy bleeding. After that I was good with the heaviest version of those thin Always pads. Infinity? I am drawing a blank. You can always send your H or someone to the store to get more. Oh, and invest in some big ass granny panties that you can throw away later. You dont want tight undies especially if you end up with a csec. I wont lie, PP is pretty gross and painful, but baby amnesia takes care of that for the most part. Otherwise, nobody would have more than 1 kid lol. I have heard plenty of people say PP was NBD though so there is hope!

TBH, I expected true horror and the reality was no big deal.
I know everyone is different but it was not the hell on earth I had anticipated.
I also slept on top of a towel for a week or so because of the night sweats (yes it's as gross as it sounds).
Yes! Its insane how out of whack the hormones get. And the hair loss, oh god. Be prepared to unclog your shower drains. You will also find lots of hair from your head in your ass crack when you shower.

The sweating man. I felt constantly hot and sticky.

I have blocked every part of my PP experience except the cyst on my tailbone. That completely wiped out everything else. It'll be like the first time all over again.
I'll repost if we do a thread but all I brought to the hospital was toiletries, a couple sweatpants with super high waists(in case c-section), and a simple weather appropriate outfit for baby.
Omg I can't my Amazon registry to get to whatever it needs to be so I can get a welcome box 😞
IT TOOK ME FOREVER. I just started adding random crap from each category even if I didn't need it. I made my registry private so no one I knew would stumble upon it because it's a friggin mess.

That's wear I am at. I am at 49%. does it have to be 100?
You don't have to add things from each category - just go down the list and check all the boxes!
What list?
OMG
THIS WOULD HAVE SAVED ME SO MUCH TIME.
On the top where it says checklist, click the little arrow in the right hand side to expand the window. Then you should see a little link that says "mark items complete". Click on that and then you can just click everything.

GAWD. I can't believe I added all that crap.
I think I did it!! ETA yay! I did! Now I wait until they let order it right?

I found it easier to figure out from the app then the actual website. You don't need to add something from every area, you just need to check the boxes.
