Postpartum stock up

Are there any mommas out there who don't know what to get for postpartum supplies? I want to recommend a brand in the comments that I have used some of their stuff, and they are nice. This is not me promoting the brand, although it sounds like it. Yes, I do know that the hospital will provide everything you need, but I think this brand might make some mommas more comfortable to use than the hospital stuff.

I got the Frida mom postpartum kit
Nipple cream
Adult disposable underwear’s

I would say no I had an emergency c-section and I don’t have any swelling in my downstairs area and that’s what those pads are more for. I would get ice packs for the incision to help with swelling but other than that just some disposable diapers and use a peri bottle in the restroom and dab your parts dry. And ask for or get a binder to feel like you stomach is together. And don’t be scared to ask for help you definitely need some and take it very slow.

normal or infected?

5 weeks post c section , i went at the beginning of the week as my wound had opened completely different area to what’s leaking. was told it didn’t look infected. anyone know if this is normal coming off it, it’s only a little amount at a time

Induction?

Anyone been induced before? Was it more painful? Better than thought? Worse than thought? Worth it? Thoughts?

Induction or c section?

As a last resort, would you rather be induced or have a planned c section?

Really not liking the thought of being induced from people’s experiences I’ve read!

Ms. Aura Alyse is here 👑🌈🫶🏽

Worth the wait and pain. Baby girl arrived at 7:15 this am weighing 7lbs 6oz. She is so calm and chill.

I am so done with pregnancy !

Everything i do hurt . I sit down / i stand up / i walk / i lie down. I am in pain ! I am tired ! His mouvement hurt down there like electricity chock ! My back is on fire ! If i walk more then 5 minutes i feel like i am going to die ( low ferritine) the acid reflux is crazy . I mean i can’t and don’t wanna do this no more . Only 31 weeks !

Growth scan

So had my 28 week midwife appointment- all good but after measuring bump- I’m now waiting on a scan within a few days as bump is measuring small I’m not worried as I am guessing a tape measure is hardly accurate but
For anyone who has been in a similar position- what was the outcome after the scan? Was the baby on the smaller side ?
Was baby measuring normal?

Thanks
