With a diet high in dark green leafy veges (the Vit. K content helps blood clot faster), & breastfeeding your baby (helps the uterus contract back down to it’s pre-pregnancy state faster.) There shouldn’t really be any problems w pp bleeding. If you have a natural birth & don’t tear, you will be back to your normal self in no time.
PS. If you are leaking out your maxi pads, use adult pulls ups for the 1st night or two.
I baught extra hospital grade ice pack pads! I was able to find them straight from medline on amamazon. Also I was a huge fan of the always infinity night time pads. They were not as cumbersome as a lot of the other pads out there! Good luck mommas!
Good advice. Remember c-sections being the same bleeding problem as vaginal delivery. Using pads is a necessity for weeks. I liked Czela Bellies for my postpartum months. They fit pads because of the cut. Felt more secure.
