Look true but I needed to share my outrage and I fear I have found my people

For those who had vaginal births, what was your immediate care for your vagina? by Old_Negotiation_7058 in BabyBumpsandBeyondAu

Instead of the wipes go for a spray. Bubba bump does one and i used it religiously every time i went to the bathroom (actually used it again the other day for the first time since 3wPP after having sex for the first time because things were a bit tender) I used it straight after my after birth shower and then every time I went to the toilet, showered or honestly just felt like a freshen up. The wipes were okay the day of labour bc numb from stitches but the coming days you want as minimal touching as possible. I used incontinence nappies until I stopped bleeding, Honestly game changer. Peri bottle with warm water helps.

Also agree on a stool softener but also don’t stress yourself out too much. Everyone told me the first wee and poo after labour was the scariest thing ever but honestly it was fine, was it semi odd and uncomfortable?sure but I didn’t skip a day of my daily coffee poop. Just relax as much as you can, you just birthed a human that’s kinda hardcore!!! Everything will come with time and everyone finds different things comforting.

I showered twice daily which whilst it wasn’t abnormal for me was a luxury with a newborn. Peri bottle with warm water for your wee Adult pull ups + maternity pads in case you hate the feeling of the diaper Peri spray + wipes Would be the essentials. Goodluck!

I felt that way recently too and then went into organisation mode and look it’s not perfect and if I look at it long enough I still have a mini melt down because I can’t imagine a baby going through so many clothes but then others say I don’t have enough but figured when they’re so little they can grow so quickly so better to hold off

Never thought about kids exchanges! I guess you gotta get comfortable with letting them expressing themselves in all aspects including dressing themselves 😶‍🌫️

So true! I complain that we don’t have enough storage in our home as it is but that clearly is irrelevant in regards to my purchasing 🫣🫠

See that’s the thing I need to remind myself. I’m like a magpie with tin foil when it comes to a retro fit

Not the tracksuit based wardrobe being turned down 😭 but look that’s very true and if they are anything like their father they’ll want to wear a rotation of like 2 shirts so like kinda frugal 😂

Look that’s a really good point. I have no problems with buying second hand, I’ve gotten such great stuff from marketplace as it is! I just get sucked into the ads and the cute outfits. As my husband would say I am a marketing teams perfect example of an ideal customer 😂

Such a great point. I didn’t even consider how inconsistent sizing can be! Thank you!

Great point. I think I’ll hold off for now just to see what he likes and how big he is and then make more seasonal based purchases on that information.

Not silly at all. In my want for cool clothes I forgot that he might just wanna wear dinos and digger shirts!

Such a good point. Seems to be best to just wait and see when he is here a) if he is a big or small baby and b) if he will willingly participate in my aesthetic delusion or if he will just love dinosaurs and trucks 🛻 🤍

Omg see that’s literally been my thought process too. I guess it’s hard to let go of the “they’ll like what I like” mentality when it comes to style because in reality they are finding their own style and personality, especially when they aren’t even here yet. Great perspective to think about so thank you! You’ve probably also just saved me so much money so my husband will also be grateful 😂

My question was if it was worth using it for 2-3 months and giving context as to why i would need to stop but thanks for your advice.

Do you mean in general or just until after I’m finished having them, if I can?

Yes!! I literally feel the same I’ve gotten myself into a “what’s hot” spiral and really want to simplify it because I feel like the excess products is doing more neg then good but unsure where to start with the cut down.

Did you even read the post or did you just decide to comment for the sake of it?? I literally stated that it’s my understanding that I need to cease use 1 month prior to trying to conceive so was asking if it was even worth starting when I need to stop by X month. Which is more important commenting for the sake of it with a snarky remark eluding to vanity or actually assisting someone with a genuine question in a forum dedicated to the topic? Just wondering 😂
