Checklist: Mom's Postpartum Supplies

4 not-so-glamourous postpartum supplies you'll want to stock up on.

Baby’s not the only one who’ll have needs after delivery… Here’s what you’ll need to take care of yourself.

[] Ice packs (in case of tearing during birth or swelling after)

[] 2-3 week supply of ultra absorbent sanitary pads

[] Panty liners

[] Hemorrhoid wipes and cream (can become necessary after labor, even if pregnancy was free of problems…sorry)
