The essentials to survive m/c

KristysRedBarn · April 2011

I'm trying to compile a list of the essentials required to survive a m/c. Please help me add to my list since I will be going to the store tonight and plan to stock up.

(An easy read)

I suck at PIP but add tissues and a heating pad if you don't already have one.

Too lazy to pip but:

Ugly sweats/comfy PJs
fuzzy socks/slippers
ditto the drugs/heating pad just in case
Trashy romance/fluff novels
chocolate (multiple options)
Cocoa (if it's chilly there.. or hot adult beverage).
Snuggie!!

And massive hugs.

I agree with everything else posted but wanted to add

and

I used alcohol and narcotics as my coping mechanisms... but if I didn't have narcotics I'd probably have taken Benadryl to help me sleep through it...

BIG HUGS Kristy because again, I am SO so sorry.

I am thinking that hard alcohol is the best.

A puppy to cuddle with.

Pp's have covered it really well. *huge hugs* I'm so sorry you're going through this.

I agree with pp's. I liked Thermacare heat wraps that went on your back. Then you could get up and pee and take your heat with you.

Big hugs

i needed good music, my oversized pups, lots of hot tea, a good book, and i could not have done this without some crappy old movies that used to love as a teen...

having a very sweet friend who did NOT tell me that this happens to most women was a great solace... she just showered on the hugs when needed, and listened if i wanted to talk...

and yes, the essential sweats and (for me) cozy sweater and heating pads...

sorry to see another going through this...

I really wish you where not going through this, Kristy. The Universe is so unfair. I really wanted to see you with a LO. It pisses me off that things did not go well. Please let me know if there is anything that I can do. Sending you the biggest hugs ever.

I'm so sorry, Kristy. I know that we're likely in different time zones and that I'm probably too late to help, but I didn't see anyone say cozy PJs and nice, fluffy TP. And lots of it. I'm also a huge fan of lavender oil for your temples or spray for your pillow. It's really soothing and always helps me with sleep. Huge, huge hugs.

I am so sorry you have to go through this. PPs got it just right. I have to give you extra points for the Gilmore Girls. *hugs* I would also add some trashy magazines to your list.
