Just had my third section in sept and would second many of the things already suggested. Definitely a robe, soft pants and some high wasted undies! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/postpartum-welcome-home-kit-c-section#post-2910561 Thu, 20 Feb 2020 19:16:43 +0000 MrsSRS 2910561@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>A nice pajama set with a button down top and loose pants </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/postpartum-welcome-home-kit-c-section#post-2910545 Thu, 20 Feb 2020 15:28:24 +0000 Becky 2910545@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@crazydoglady: I could add that to the list. I used my kindle allll the time while nursing so that was my thought there! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/postpartum-welcome-home-kit-c-section#post-2910544 Thu, 20 Feb 2020 15:27:54 +0000 graceandjoy 2910544@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Just had my first and only csection about a month ago. High waist everything. Motrin/Tylenol. Belly wrap. Everything else is probably standard postpartum stuff... </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/postpartum-welcome-home-kit-c-section#post-2910538 Thu, 20 Feb 2020 15:13:16 +0000 crazydoglady 2910538@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Becky: I would actually prefer an audible gift card (if they make it,) my babies never let me put them down! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/postpartum-welcome-home-kit-c-section#post-2910533 Thu, 20 Feb 2020 14:04:27 +0000 Becky 2910533@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@JennyPenny: Great tips! She’s not someone to buy herself nice clothing (she’s more likely to grab an old sweatshirt) so this would be nice. I’ll add Gas-X to the list too! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/postpartum-welcome-home-kit-c-section#post-2910532 Thu, 20 Feb 2020 14:03:26 +0000 Becky 2910532@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@ttcgirl: I was thinking a Kindle too. She’s an English teacher and reads a lot and doesn’t have one! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/postpartum-welcome-home-kit-c-section#post-2910525 Thu, 20 Feb 2020 13:34:31 +0000 jhd 2910525@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I was going to suggest high waisted comfy pants and a lightweight robe or cardigan also if you feel comfortable shopping for clothing. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/postpartum-welcome-home-kit-c-section#post-2910523 Thu, 20 Feb 2020 13:32:06 +0000 ttcgirl 2910523@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>If you feel comfortable giving this, Gas-x was my favorite thing after my c-sections!! The gas pains were so real.</p> <p>Maybe a comfy lightweight robe or open cardigan. I liked having something around I could throw on to cover up if people came over since I wasn’t supposed to be going up and down the stairs to my bedroom. </p> <p>A good water bottle.</p> <p>If you’re looking for something bigger I also found a kindle to be a postpartum must have. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/postpartum-welcome-home-kit-c-section#post-2910522 Thu, 20 Feb 2020 13:30:28 +0000 JennyPenny 2910522@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I liked having these: <a href="https://www.amazon.com/dp/B002VK977O/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_i_T-StEbJJ9Z17G" rel="nofollow">https://www.amazon.com/dp/B002VK977O/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_i_T-StEbJJ9Z17G</a> It felt like extra protection after I was done with all the hospital bandaging, regardless of whether it helps scars or not. Clothing-wise, high waisted lounge pants and undies were key! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/postpartum-welcome-home-kit-c-section#post-2910513 Thu, 20 Feb 2020 12:43:39 +0000 Becky 2910513@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My SIL is having a C-section in April and I'd like to put together a postpartum recovery/welcome home kit, from myself and some friends/family. This is her second girl, and she has all of the baby things she needs. </p> <p>We will definitely include an Instacart Express membership as she would use this weekly and really appreciate it. I'm also going to ask our friend who's a professional baker to do a batch of lactation cookies (she sells them occasionally). She already has a lot of freezer meals planned out so won't need any of that.</p> <p>Are there any specific things that made your C-section recovery easier/more comfortable? Like OTC meds, creams, teas, etc? Any specific clothes that were really nice to have (it's still usually pretty chilly here in April-early May)? </p>
