Last time I used a peri bottle, would definitely recommend and will use again this time. Fill it with warm water and squirt after you've been to the loo. Get it off Amazon and have a practise before baby. I also used Spritz for Bitz spray off Amazon.

I opted for a lot of the Frida Mom range as my friend used it after she had her wee girl a few months ago and highly recommended it! Cooling pads, pads, witch hazel foam, disposable pants, etc. got Spritz for Bits by my expert midwife, boots has deals on their products! I’ve also seen you can use aloe vera on the thicker pads and freeze them to soothe down below too. Also a newbie but got all my stuff the other day and the quality seems really good! Also got lillet’s maternity pads and wipes too and a peri bottle x

I would say maternity pads, any brand is fine but your bleeding will be heavy for a few weeks and not much more! You will have to wait and see if you have delivery without needing forceps or an episiotomy etc to know more, people recommend witch hazel on your maternity pads but I had stitches so was too worried to use it x

This is my third baby, but this time I’ve got a peri bottle and spritz for bits for the first time! I ended up having an emergency c section with my first but natural with my second, but I got a bad third degree tear, honestly didn’t use anything other than obviously maternity pads and it was absolutely fine, didn’t find I necessarily NEEDED anything like a peri bottle or anything to soothe, but taking them this time to see what all the fuss is about 😂
