For all my soon to be mommy friends

3 weeks ago, I had my darling Rania and my life changed completly. I know many of you are about to go through the same transition. To help you through this difficult, albiet amazing time, I've complied my must haves list. Hope it helps you!

1. DERMOPLAST, Heat pad, Sitz bath - I could not make this list without singing the praises of Dermoplast. I recieved it at the hospital and went through another 2 cans in my first 2 weeks. It provides immediate relief of the pain in the nether regions. Suffice it to say, it's good stuff.

The sitz bath was also provided by the hospital and is excellent for helping with soreness and pain. Use it with the hottest water you can stand. Your bottom will thank you.

The heat pad is also good for relieving all the fun aches and pains of motherhood.

2. Disposable Multi-Use Pads - Arslan found these at Babies R Us. They are probably available at other stores as well, although I haven't seen them elsewhere. These pads were great for putting on top of the changing table pad. They kept us from having to constantly clean the changing pad cover when the inevitable accident occured. They are super thin and don't leak. Yay for less laundry!

3. Dreft  Stain Remover Spray - This is great for removing stains when accidents do occur. Poopy stain be gone!

4. Play gym - We use ours for tummy time and sun time, as well for any time I need a few moments to get something done. Rania loves the music and dangling toys. She will usually play with it for 10-15 minutes.

Good luck on your new adventure! Comment and let me know what things I forgot on my list.
