“Come to me, all who labor and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest. Take my yoke upon you, and learn from me, for I am gentle and lowly in heart, and you will find rest for your souls. For my yoke is easy, and my burden is light.”- Matthew 11:28-30 💖

Been loving all your videos this week! I’m due in a week and a half, after a stillbirth last year. And your tips and information are really helping maintain my anxiety through this time. 😊 I’m lucky that in South Korea we have postpartum care centers to stay at for a couple weeks, with nurses, cooks, masseuses, and yoga classes all available. It’s luxury. We usually have maternal grandmother come stay at home for a while. Since my mom is in the States, my mother-in-law will come stay with us to help with cooking and cleaning for a couple weeks.~ Anyway, thanks again for all your effort!!! ❤️

I enjoyed this video! And wanted to share something I like to use after birth, I love using cloth mama pads ❤️. This may seem gross to some people… but I’ve found that for me they are much less gross and sooo much more comfortable then there through away counter parts . I did use disposable for a day or two , and padcickles . But other then that I use the cloth mama pads ! Just another option for you knew mama’s .

@bellehpham7742 3 года назад

I’m going through post partum recovery now and it is a lot of stress since you have to wake up in the middle of the night to feed your baby and tons of demands place on you blah blah blah. It’s crazy. I thought once the baby is out (my pregnancy was a lot of stress too, I had GDM and baby was breech, had to do an ECV, thankfully I was able to give birth naturally) Anyways, I thought it was gonna be easier, but nope, it’s getting harder. Lol. I want to stay positive but nope, it is harder. I want to try out the padsicle since it sounds very nice and looks like a lot of people are doing it. Thanks for the tips.

@michelleflood251 3 года назад

Please please tell me they give you something stronger that tylenol and ibprophin? 27 weeks with twin and i have to get a c section at 34 weeks. Im seriously considering this as my first and last pregnancy cause i don't see me taking major surgery recovery well.

@Sammala17 10 месяцев назад

Heads up, in the Build to Birth courses Bridget does NOT recommend padsicles. Instead she recommends heat and warm compresses to speed up healing.

@ninarechin2531 Год назад

You should really think about adding some visual aids. This is all good information, but some of us like to see actual examples of products and brands so we know exactly what to use. Thanks

@benedettascarpari1466 4 года назад

Hi Bridget! I have been reading about how good calendula officinalis tincture is for postpartum recovery. How can I include that in your DIY padsicles? I was thinking about mixing it with the witchazel...can you recommend me the amount? Thank you so much and I LOVE your videos! Waiting on my little bundle of joy to put your advices into practice 💖

@ladybugflv 3 года назад

I use dried Calendula for my sit bath, because I have been struggling with Candida and UTIs. I boil some water, throw the Calendula in and let it infuse for some time, strain the infusion and sit for 10 minutes approximately. Hope this helps.

Can padsicles and sit baths be used while having stitches? Where I'm from they usually make the cut manually to avoid tearing in an unwanted direction what do you think about that as well?

@savannahwolfe6304 4 года назад

With my first, I had 21 stitches down there, and my Ob recommended sitz baths and the padsicles helped SO MUCH

@rachelkasper5403 6 месяцев назад

I was so stressed with the schedule the hospital sent me home with. Feeding my little girl every 2 to 3 hours, waking her when she didn't want eat. Counting diapers. Etc. Her peds dr. told me I'm doing great with her, just let my daughter set the schedule. Let her sleep when she wants, her eat when she wants to eat.

@gunveerkaur4507 2 года назад

Thank you so much for sharing this wonderful information 😊. I just delivered a baby 3 weeks ago through normal vaginal delivery. Could you please also help me to know that how can I comfort myself from burning sensation in urethra while peeing 😔

@Strawberrygoldd 2 года назад

Pour water at the same time as peeing and drink lots of water so your pee is diluted

@katieanderson4364 3 года назад

Just a reminder that the vagina is internal and the vulva and sometimes labia, depending on your anatomy, are external. It's good to try and get in the habit of owning our anatomy and naming it accurately. ☺️ Excellent tips! Thinking about the birthing people out there who don't identify as mama. 💕

@bellehpham7742 3 года назад

I have a question though. How are you gonna prevent the padsicle from sticking into your private area. Isn’t it sticky when the aloe very and everything become ice? Also, will it cause infection? Infection is my biggest concern.

@LexHeroux Год назад

Aloe Vera is actually antiseptic. Whenever I have an infection in my finger or on my toe (from picking my cuticles/nails)…aloe helps every time heal up the inflammation and infection really fast.

I had emergency c section after 9 cm dilation and unsuccessfully pushing while his little head got stuck. I feel like I did both vaginal birth and c-section. After 20hrs in the hospital we got discharged and next day they asked to come back to check baby. So I spent 4-5 hrs waking and in queue in the hospital while having no sleep at all. I feel so overwhelmed and tired and super worried how can I recover. I am worried that I overdid already. I didn’t sleep first 48 hrs. 😢 I am always using abdominals 😢 and my back is killing me. How many hours I should rest during the day? And night?

@maabenaasiedu6161 Год назад

Big hugs Mama! Sleep as much as you can get. Sometimes it won't be much, other times you get a bit more. You will be ok, take it a day at a time.

I gave birth oct 16 22 I had cervix tear during labor. Which was really painful experience for me as a new mom. I feel burning sensation down there and its hard to sit while feeding my baby. What should I do that can help me to recover little faster? Because there are stitches pls tell me what can I do?

@maabenaasiedu6161 Год назад

Please get a numbing spray. Dermoplast has helped me with my first and my 2nd as I had tears and episiotomy with both. It numbs the place for at least 3hrs, makes sitting easy. Definitely get a sitz bath, add Epsom salt and lavender oil, to sooth the place after pooing and just when you feel the place is too painful. Iodide or iodine , also added to your peribottle really helps with the healing process. Wishing you all the very best. You will be ok.

I’ve had two c sections and the best thing you can do for it is to leave it alone and keep it dry. No scrubbing, just let the soap run down over it in the shower and pat dry.

There are sadly some people that a mother cannot ask for help because they do not understand that being pregnant and giving birth is not a walk in the park and they expect the mother to do much more then she is capable of.
