The hospital gave me plenty of everything else. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/tolac-vbac-recovery-prep#post-2066292 Thu, 12 Feb 2015 11:58:07 +0000 blackbird 2066292@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I would just place an amazon order from the hospital. Or buy it, keep it all in a bag with the receipt, and send your husband to return it all if it's not needed. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/tolac-vbac-recovery-prep#post-2066286 Thu, 12 Feb 2015 11:57:39 +0000 mediagirl 2066286@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>The only extra thing I needed was extra pads. The hospital provided me with enough of everything else to cover me through the worst of the post partum period. I would definitely suggest getting pads, though. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/tolac-vbac-recovery-prep#post-2066279 Thu, 12 Feb 2015 11:56:04 +0000 edelweiss 2066279@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>you get a lot of stuff from the hospital--i got the ice packs, mesh underwear, pads, peri bottle, tucks-like pads, dermaplast (that's the numbing spray), sitz bath....i did end up buying more pads and tucks (they didn't give me a whole lot of those), but otherwise most hospitals set you up pretty good. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/tolac-vbac-recovery-prep#post-2066268 Thu, 12 Feb 2015 11:52:21 +0000 Anagram 2066268@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@mrs. tictactoe: I think it wouldn't hurt to wait and see what happens. I haven't had a VBAC, but my first was a vaginal birth and I bought way too many post partum care items that I never used.</p> <p>The only thing I really needed was the pads and the spray the hospital provided --the numbing spray, can't remember the name.</p> <p>I never used the sitz bath, the pad-shaped ice pack, the tucks, or the Earth Mama Angel-whatever bottom spray (the smell was awful and made me nauseous and it stung compared to what the hospital gave). </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/tolac-vbac-recovery-prep#post-2066174 Thu, 12 Feb 2015 11:19:50 +0000 mrs. tictactoe 2066174@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I am hoping to have a VBAC and am due in two weeks. Should I buy things to prepare for postpartum recovery of a vaginal birth? I did not buy anything like this before I had Liam, and while I had a c section, I needed pads and didn't like the ones my husband bought. I have some pads, but should I buy other stuff (tucks, witch hazel, etc) or just wait and see what happens? </p>
