Read About What To Expect During Your Pregnancy

There are so many pregnancy books out there, and it can be hard to choose which one to read. If you're like me, you've probably bought a few different ones for this reason. My favorite and recommended pregnancy book is this illustrated Pregnancy Day By Day. To buy this one, click here. I bought it during my 2nd pregnancy (and I am re-reading it during my 3rd pregnancy).

A popular brand you may have heard of is What To Expect When You're Expecting. This one comes in a series of different books, What To Expect Before You're Expecting, What To Expect The First Year and What To Expect The Toddler Years. I read through these during my first pregnancy and first two years with my first child.

Don't forget to grab a book for the father to be too! It was helpful for my husband to have a book geared for the man's perspective. This is the one we bought, my husband, but there are plenty of other books out there.

Frida Mom for Post Laparoscopy Care

My Frida Mom Basket for Post-Laparoscopy Care. Why I Love the Frida Mom Line (Even Beyond Motherhood) One of the things I’ve really come to appreciate is how versatile the Frida Mom line is—not just for new moms, but for anyone recovering from abdominal surgeries, such as laparoscopies for endometriosis. After surgery, comfort and gentle care are everything. That’s where the C-section recovery underwear comes in. Even if you haven’t had a baby, the design makes sense—when you have incisions on your abdomen, you need something soft, high-waisted, and non-restrictive. These disposable underwears are a lifesaver compared to standard disposable Depends. The big difference? You can build your own pad system . Start with the underwear. Add a menstrual pad. Layer on a witch hazel perineal liner, perineal cream, or both. Attach an optional heating pad for cramping. It’s completely customizable depending on what your body needs that day. I also want to mention the liners pack...

Skin sensitivity may impact your experiences with these products. Recovering from my laparoscopy has been a journey, and honestly, some days are more uncomfortable than others. Over the past week, I’ve found a few products that have made a huge difference in how I feel—both physically and mentally. Here’s what’s been helping me get through it: 1. Body Wash That Feels Safe Before and after surgery, I wanted something gentle that still felt clean. I’ve been using Dove Antibacterial Body Wash , and it’s been perfect. It keeps the incision area clean without stinging or irritating my skin, which is such a relief. 2. Underwear That Actually Works I never thought I’d get excited about disposable underwear, but Frida Mom Disposable C-Section Underwear has been a game-changer. They’re soft, supportive, and don’t press on my stomach—exactly what ...
