I highly recommend one! Hospital doesn’t provide it. Boots do their own version which is good x
I’ve got the one from boots and used it last time too. I found it really helpful for the pain afterwards 🙈 x
I bought one first time around and never used it. I was very lucky that I didn’t tear but my first wee had to be done without it so they could measure it. That was the wee I was most worried about
It would be for you to pack. Very few hospitals will have them. I had an episiotomy and forceps first time round and to be honest was fine without one. Peeing was a bit sore but not too bad and showering was also fine ☺️
