WHAT helped you recover from labour ?

[forshelby]

I used a heat pack for my backpain and cs wound. I also got one of those nifty 'claw' type things you use to grab stuff thats out of reach. Not sure what its called but it was so handy since I was on my own at home and in a lot of pain. A really great pillow would also be nice, I wished I had one post-birth. Will add more if I think of it. Can't believe you're so close now! Time flies!

I also recommend the heat pack, and a boomerang pillow

Or a basket to keep things like the TV remote, books etc... in without having to get up & down all the time.

Pre-cooking meals
Perhaps consider ordering your shopping online for delivery
Comfie clothes for around the house

I was very fortunate to have DH home for approx. 3 weeks, then my mum for another two. I was then alright on my own.

Really soft squishy pillow to sit on when you have sore lady bits

Otherwise, not much really, apparently I seem to deal quite well with this baby having shiznit. That stuff that makes your wee less acid is great if you have grazes/tears/stitches because the wee really really stings those.

Fortunately my recovery was pretty good too, just a bit of general soreness where bub made an entrance. I used an awesome healing spray directly and also sprayed it on my pads before wearing them - if you google post labour healing tincture the first result is the one.
