This is a great list and you’re absolutely right the postpartum recovery is often overlooked!
I found the little things made a big difference in my wellbeing, for example a comfy fluffy pair of socks (this was November!), super baggy clothes which is a given probably - but when I had my c-section every pair of pyjamas sat on the scar line and I had to get my husband to do a mad dash to a shop to buy me bigger baggy tops! I also didn’t anticipate how bad my feet would swell up, I couldn’t fit in any of my shoes or slippers after so again he had to buy something!
These are such great points! I had a C-section too, and thank goodness for my one pair of black maternity pants—I wore them everywhere, seriously. Reading your comment reminded me of something else about my recovery: even after the incision looked healed on the outside, there was lingering internal pain that stuck around for a while. I’d feel it especially when my son would jump on my belly or if I walked for too long—just something to keep in mind! 🫶🏽
