This is awesome. Had a flashback of the horrible, itchy hospital underwear.
Buffalowingman
My wife just gave birth and was feeling pretty bad about herself so I showed this to her and it really lifted her spirits. Love it!
PirateRubberDuck
That blood jelly net ball thing looks really weird. No one ever mentions that.
FreekoftheHood
Wife and I want no part of that at all. She doesn't want to deal with the empty cavern that used to be her vagina. Seems unpleasant.
kecker
I wish someone warned us that about three days post-partum those pregnancy hormones bottom out and emotional wreck ensues.
mcseanerson
Do the cowboy walk. Tends to happen when your insides have been torn apart.
ohRose
I bought depends to wear after my c-sec. Best decision ever. Real underwear hurt. Fake underwear was stretchy and disposable.
MyCatLikesToFruitcake
Yup, never knew the moment I stood up I'd leave a puddle trail of blood on the floor. I had a 2nd degree episiotomy, but was stitched up.
AdmiralJohn
I don't find it uncomfortable and as long as both the husband and wife are okay with posting this more power to them. :)
ShawnaRamsey
I am impressed that lady is even standing. I didn't move much for about a week.
theflyingnun
My BF's sister walked to the hospital, gave birth within an hour, and walked back home with the baby that same day.
That is insane. I drove myself in labor but I was not about to drive back haha. I had a real bad tear but still.
As my Boyfriend put it at the time "that baby just waterslid out."

hippokitty86
Even if you have a c section you still get to wear these awesome diapers. And I really do mean awesome...stocked up before we left.
nickneverender
Theres nothing beautiful about childbirth. Its just a natural mess
ExtraRains
Giant mom diaper is for the 3 weeks of period blood that comes after giving birth
sj2890
It usually lasts around 3-6 weeks, sometimes 8.
thisisjustmyalt
I think its more for the frozen pads for swelling. There's a lot of blood but not enough to need a diaper. At least I didn't have that much
prrrkitten
I hated those diapers.
llamalibrarian
Wow, I know many people with kids and no one has ever said this was a thing. Thanks for posting!
brannewenergy
I tell every girl I can how horrific child birth is. They must be warned.
arjan2

Oh my gosh those ice packs felt SO DAMN GOOD until they got warm and they felt bad but then you put a new one on and feel so good again!
rhinosaremyfriends
I know childbirth is bad but you guys are scaring me even more than I already was scared
It is super scary, and in the middle you want to quit but you can't, but in the end you get this little meat bag you love more than the pain
this. it's horrific and genuinely scary, but damn the product is soooooo wonderful.
you're not alone! there is some TRAUMA that area takes during birth. TRAUMA
Nunyabizzniz
I'm due in 19 days and I'm planning to steal these from the hospital
marsupialsrus
Don't forget to ask for the little water squirt bottles too! Just think of peeing amidst all of that damage. Trust me. Water bottles.
agunnhans
Take all the ice packs u can stuff in a bag. Good news - u should only need mom diaper for 1 or 2 days
When my son was born I missed those pads. I will steal more this time
They'll give em to ya! Have a good time!!!!
CatsAndCandy
It'll be a life saver!
Thishouldestroyou
freezing a diaper works pretty well too
Make some! That's what I did and they were WONDERFUL! Just take a super maxi and put water or witch hazel on it and stick it in the freezer.
Good to know, you may have just saved my life
murks
As a guy putting something called witch hazel on your vag seems, ... Satanic?
they scooped the afterbirth out of my wife like they were gutting a blood red pumpkin. it was the weirdest thing I've ever witnessed...

JaromirAzarov
At least she can still stand. When my wife tried that after giving birth, she just fainted. She then decided to stay in bed a little more.
[deleted]
I didn't know I could bleed that much! Periods were no preparation.
julgran
Not at all. :(
WhyNotZoidbergsAsshole
the nurses had to help me stand about 12 hrs after baby, i passed out the moment i stood and had to be given blood.

I got confused at first by the photo cause it looked like husband was in the medical bed and I was surprised the mother was up.

I gave birth with no drugs. Couldn't stand up for 2 days w/o getting dizzy/throwing up. Yay bloodloss!
kickyelanore
same here! when you don't do the drugs, you can do a lot more after.
not that you *should*
aRareBear
My first I went without pain meds and was up in no time. The nurses kept commenting on it.
Endorphin's are a hell of a drug (cocktail)

More of this needs to be posted. Yeah it's gross, but this is nature and we need to know. Thanks op. :)
thriftydonkey
Having a baby isn't beautiful, it's a fucking horror show.
LanaDelReyy
Done it twice, will be doing it a third time early next year. It's the most beautiful thing in the world.
On my third. It's pretty gross.
Oh yeah, it is. But still beautiful.
MsHissyPants
Beauty is in the eye (vag?) of the beholder.If birth is gross and ugly to you, other people thinking otherwise doesn’t change or negate that
ihateeggs
It is the most beautiful most disgusting thing in the world and they are worth all of it which is amazing
I wore post partum "diapers" for about a month. I figured stuff could get crazy but nobody talks about it and hate it when I do. :P
asiangelino
I'm due in two weeks. What brand diaper did you like??
After the hospital stuff ran out I used Depends. I had a second degree laceration and some other things so you might not need them.
kimsycali
Hospital will let you take as many diaper pads as you want. Snatch as many as you can.
Oh good to know. I was about to stock up beforehand!
ihavecurlyhaironmyhead
You can talk to me! I'm due in October and I NEED TO KNOW THESE THINGS.
TheCrispiestNoodles
I'm due in October as well and I've started looking into the dark side of postpartum. I'll probably sound like a plastic bag when I walk.
CoffeePleaseee
I am due to give birth in two weeks, this terrifies me
FormigaX
I remember that moment when I realized the baby had to actually come out. Through my vagina.
That's the panic part I'm at nkw
Don't let it -- it's really not a big deal... and I only needed the "diaper" for a day or 2. U will be fine!!
They're making me have a c section cus baby is breech but apparently you still wear the mamma diaper
dinosaurprincess
I hope everything goes well and that you and baby are good!! ^_^
Thank you!! I'm very nervous! It's my first so I don't know what to expect and I really didn't want a c section but que cera
Both natural and C-section seem so scary... Seriously you are so tough!! I hope the hospital is good to you and that it all goes well!
Afterword you will feel like the queen warrior because you just did that shit. I used to be shy but now IDGAF- I know what I can do now.
I was shy until all the Drs and nurses start tickling your cervix weekly
I'm pretty sure I'd have no problem showing my cooter off to anyone anymore. Not gonna but I could if I wanted.
Not to mention the assless hospital gowns!
True! I spent most of my stay on the bed because of 2nd degree lacerations but walking to the bathroom let it all hang out, diaper and all.
WentzofFoles
Don't forget to take your stool softeners! I cannot stress this enough.
Do you take them after the c section or before?
So much easier. I knew what to expect. I wish someone told me of all the not so fun stuff the first time around. 2/2
After. Take them with your pain meds. I had 2 c sections. First was after 16 hours of labor and 4 hours of pushing. 2nd was planned and 1/
Is it true I won't be able to get out of a chair and walk for a week?
No. You will be able to get up once you have feeling in your legs and they take the cath out. You will be sore but the more you walk 1/
Beginning. Have a small pillow that you can hug if you need to cough. Don't overdo it. You'll know if you need to slow down. Congrats! 3/3
Around the better. My youngest will be 1 in 2 weeks. We were walking the boardwalk a week later. Stairs can be a little painful in the 2/
narwallaby
I'm due in september. I'm buying depends and making padsicles.
The inside of a diaper works great for an ice pack. Cut it out, soak it in water, and pop it in the freezer. Lasts longer than the pop bags.
twominutesforhighsticking
WITCH. HAZEL.
FUCKING YES.
fuckyouyoufuckingfuckedupfuckingfuck
What do you do with witch hazel? I'm due in November...
All of my mom friends said it's a blessing for spraying after you go to the bathroom, and especially if you have stitches
You'll basically be burning down there, so get a spray bottle for water to clean with and a spray bottle of witch hazel to soothe
and definitely steal the peri bottle from the hospital if you can (instead of the water spray bottle)
carlinabob
After walking down a hospital corridor butt naked with the umbilical cord swinging between my legs...I approve. I also have no dignity.
anneboleynfan1
I just strutted around my room naked since I had to breastfeed and those gowns are a pain to maneuver lol
I think dignity goes out the window at the point where your cervix is being checked weekly
There is no such thing as dignity in L&D. A camera linked to international news could zoom in on my vag and I wouldn't have gave a shit.
muttonchoppa
wow thats a mental image i never thought I'd have
forgive my ignorance, placenta and umbilical cord comes out all at once and is known as the afterbirth right? how long after does that take?
HmmmThatsNice
a few minutes or so after the baby is born, usually the doctor pushes a little bit and it come out on its own. Really weird feeling!
feel free to speak to me as though im a 12 year old boy in sex ed
pushes on what? im a guy, i understand birth but no one ever taught me about "the aftermath"
Idkimadeanaccountjustforthis
It's the sack that the baby lives in while in the uterus. It comes out after the baby it's like a plastic bag, but organic.
yes the amniotic sac, is it like a sticky balloon in your whoopie place?
lol read that wrong, thought you were 12! The doctor pushes on your stomach and pulls on the cord a little. and it comes out. its pretty
gross, but amazing at the same time, because that was the life source for your babys first 9 months. It could be done different now,
if someone had informed me about the weeks after birth, I would have never EVER gone through with my pregnancy. I wont be having a 2nd one.
varysbeauty
Jesus.
ikeepwipingSTILLPOOP
did you have complications, if you don't mind me asking?
I have a tilted uterus and my child was slightly large, and I'm a small lady, my spine squished and i lost 3 inches of height,(now I'm 4'11)
Well hopefully the kid is cool/sweet at least hmm?
His shoulders would not go krooked so he came out both shoulders at the same time, tearing my vagina open to my asshole. 22 stiches. 4/?
mikehonchoness
Holy sh!t
i went into pre term labor @20 wks, but they were able to stop it. Then i had to be induced because he wouldn't come out. During labor 3/?
I got PPD after birth. overall, i had many doctors tell me that my pregnancy was "quite normal" and i had "expected symptoms" to pregnancy.
interrobangcat
Your doctors sound like they had zero bedside manner -- I'm so sorry you had to deal with all that.
luckily my pre/post natal doc was amazing but the rest...eh.
my skin on my abdomen and pubic area was so streched, my strech marks were actual cuts. My skin would pop open with fetal kicks. 2/?

Tell me about it. After we had our second daughter, it looked like a grenade went off down there. Holy moley, never doing that again.

It was a beautiful mess, but damn if it didn't change how I view a vagina.
IrishPub
I just got a vasectomy recently to avoid this exact situation.
OhMyGodTheyKilledBrianYouBastards
How many years before you tell the wife you two can stop trying to get pregnant? "Honey, we just need to try as often as possible.."
and you can never go back without remembering the awful carnage you've witnessed..

But holy shit.. tearing stuff is no mas.
Tankgirl79
I ripped one of my lips in half
WasThatAFartOrAShart
Wife nearly went hole-to-hole with our 1st...with 1/2 dose of Nubain only. Needless to say, 2nd one was C-Section and all the drugs.
I had an emergency c section with the third. They had to knock me out quick. They also tied my tubes. Nothing hurt more.
Sorry you went through so much shit though. I remember just how bad my wife had it. Part of why I did all of the night feedings for both,(2)
How sweet!! Yeh I slept in a chair and did the feeding. But it was all set up for me so I was fine. Just extremely tired.
1st one nearly made my wife bleed out. We made sure everything was 100% planned (minus the pregnancy itself...)for the next one. (1)
since she couldn't produce (and not for lack of trying or support either). Kids are hard...but I do love it when they smile.
aveyinc
I tore all the way forward. Luckily all important nerve endings remain very useful.
WickedWitchoftheMidwest
I DIDNT EVEN REALIZE THAT WAS AN OPTION
Being induced gives you a short labor and your body doesn't have time to naturally open up for child birth. Sometimes shit goes crazy.
friskyloverswife
That's possible? I've heard of the other way... never forward.
It is when induced & the child is forcibly taken out quickly because she was having problems but her head was already in the right place.
Ouch... you are (or whoever experienced this) a strong amazing person.

Tell me about it. After we had our second daughter, it looked like a grenade went off down there. Holy moley, never doing that again.

It was a beautiful mess, but damn if it didn't change how I view a vagina.

I just got a vasectomy recently to avoid this exact situation.
OhMyGodTheyKilledBrianYouBastards
How many years before you tell the wife you two can stop trying to get pregnant? "Honey, we just need to try as often as possible.."
OhMyGodTheyKilledBrianYouBastards
and you can never go back without remembering the awful carnage you've witnessed..
Gerfunked
It's like watching your favorite pub burn down.

Sweet bloody Christ.
MakeTabbouleNotWar
Pretty much. Very angry red vagina for a long time lol and they sewed me back too small twice

I've had coworkers who loved to watch the colour drain from my face while telling me their birthing stories, they left that neat-O part out

I am SO sorry. I just had grape sized hemorrhoids.
BeeeardedMan
Now that's really rough sex.
Shitzamboni
As a male.. HOLY SHIT I CANNOT EVEN IMAGINE.
Shitzamboni
I mean sure I've been constipated to the point of laying 4 pound bricks in the toilet with the diameter of a fair sized peanut butter jar..

But holy shit.. tearing stuff is no mas.

Wife nearly went hole-to-hole with our 1st...with 1/2 dose of Nubain only. Needless to say, 2nd one was C-Section and all the drugs.
MakeTabbouleNotWar
I had an emergency c section with the third. They had to knock me out quick. They also tied my tubes. Nothing hurt more.

Sorry you went through so much shit though. I remember just how bad my wife had it. Part of why I did all of the night feedings for both,(2)
MakeTabbouleNotWar
How sweet!! Yeh I slept in a chair and did the feeding. But it was all set up for me so I was fine. Just extremely tired.
WasThatAFartOrAShart
1st one nearly made my wife bleed out. We made sure everything was 100% planned (minus the pregnancy itself...)for the next one. (1)
WasThatAFartOrAShart
since she couldn't produce (and not for lack of trying or support either). Kids are hard...but I do love it when they smile.

I tore all the way forward. Luckily all important nerve endings remain very useful.
WickedWitchoftheMidwest
I DIDNT EVEN REALIZE THAT WAS AN OPTION

Being induced gives you a short labor and your body doesn't have time to naturally open up for child birth. Sometimes shit goes crazy.
friskyloverswife
That's possible? I've heard of the other way... never forward.
aveyinc
It is when induced & the child is forcibly taken out quickly because she was having problems but her head was already in the right place.
friskyloverswife
Ouch... you are (or whoever experienced this) a strong amazing person.
