I like this funny & informative list:

For you moms: How much of this would you recommend? Is there anything you used that isn't on the list?

I used:

? Ice pack

? Dermoplast Pain Relieving spray

? Peri-bottle (to rinse down there)

? The most gigantic maxi pads you can find.

? Your pain meds. (whatever the hospital gave me...)

I used:

Ice pack (took them from the hospital) Peri-bottle (two- one for soapy water and one for plain to rinse) Witch Hazel Pads,(once again took a bunch from the hospital) Maxi Pads (buy your own- the ones from the hosiptal are crap, IMHO)

I did not use Dermoplast at home because the ingredients in the crap scared me. I walked out of the bathroom with a numb mouth every time I did it in the hospital, so that kinda freaked me out, and I used THIS instead. LOVED IT!!!!

I personally think you could do without the rest, but I am simple like that.

I used all of these but I called the maxi pads I stole from the hospital PP diapers.

I my mom got me tucks (which I think is witch hazel pads).

Another thing the hospital "supplied" was the cloth blood catcher (sorry TMI) you slept on so the blood wouldn't leak onto the sheets.

I figured if they didn't want it on their sheets, I sure as hell didn't want them on mine.

Seriously. I can't stress how, cold from the fridge, witch hazel pads feel on the cooch. Your hospital should give you plenty. If they don't, send DH out immediately. They're awesome.

I used:

-peri bottle (my best friend for several weeks!)

-hydrocortisone cream (for when you get itchy while you're healing---it helped so much)

-witch hazel pads

-I used to "diaper" pads from the hospital for the first day or two home. Then I switched to "Stayfree Overnight" pads. They were awesome b/c they aren't big and bulky but still absorbant.

This exactly!!! My hospital provided containers of Tucks and then bought some more when I got home.

These were the only real things I used, besides maxi pads (and I agree with buy your own). My FAVORITE thing was just soaking everything in a super hot bath for about 10 minutes every evening. It just made everything feel so much better. (I had lots of stiches). And no, I didn't need a bath pillow to sit on.
