Checklist: Mom's Postpartum Supplies

4 not-so-glamourous postpartum supplies you'll want to stock up on.

Baby's not the only one who'll have needs after delivery... Here's what you'll need to take care of yourself.

[ ] Ice packs (in case of tearing during birth or swelling after)

[ ] 2-3 week supply of ultra absorbent sanitary pads

[ ] Panty liners

[ ] Hemorrhoid wipes and cream (can become necessary after labor, even if pregnancy was free of problems…sorry)

When I had my daughter, I tore horribly. The nurses made ice packs by cutting open newborn diapers and stuffing ice inside. That way it could be applied directly to the sore spot and also acted as a pad. They were wonderful!
