I was expecting nothing but was offered freebies. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-you-delivered-at-a-birthing-center#post-2274370 Thu, 27 Aug 2015 08:29:40 +0000 ms.line 2274370@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm planning on delivering in a birthing center and I don't believe I'll be getting any freebies (except a piece of local artwork, which is cool, but not super practical). </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-you-delivered-at-a-birthing-center#post-2274193 Wed, 26 Aug 2015 23:12:33 +0000 AprilFool 2274193@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Some ice pads and a pair of mesh underwear. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-you-delivered-at-a-birthing-center#post-2274183 Wed, 26 Aug 2015 22:23:56 +0000 MrsSRS 2274183@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I got a peri bottle and I think that's it. I had saved mesh panties and some ice pads and some giant pads from my hospital birth and was so glad to have them waiting at home. You're a thoughtful friend! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-you-delivered-at-a-birthing-center#post-2274175 Wed, 26 Aug 2015 22:03:32 +0000 JennyPenny 2274175@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>...did you get any postpartum supplies to take home?</p> <p>My first good friend is expecting and I thought it might be nice to give her all the supplies to make postpartum more comfortable. I remember reading lots of supply lists here with several items having the caveat of "don't buy this because you can take it with you from the hospital" and in my case it was all completely accurate. However, she'll be delivering at a birthing center and not the hospital. I was wondering if the same "freebies" (peri bottle, mesh panties, ice pads, etc) are common in birthing centers? </p>
