Naturopathic 4th Trimester Essentials - Part 1: Perineum Healing
Whether you have a vaginal birth or belly birth, you’ll want these essentials for your recovery!
For vaginal birth mammas, the Frida Mom kit is amazing. For belly-birth Mammas, the Frida Mom C-section Undies are great.
What you’ll want for your perineum (vulva, and bum) post birth will vary, but we like to recommend a Witch Hazel foam or Tucks Witch Hazel Wipes to line your postpartum pads with.
Rael Pads are organic cotton based and the overnight pads are awesome for postpartum.
Peri Bottle Tea blends or herbal sitz baths can be beneficial for your recovery from a vaginal birth. A blend of herbs including calendula, comfrey and lavender can be soothing and healing.
Talk to your ND about magnesium or other options for a stool softener for postpartum poops.
