Week 41

The Week 41 Childbirth Recovery Kit is designed to bring comfort to new moms during the first week of postpartum recovery. It contains all the essentials new moms need (but don't know they need) for themselves after giving birth. The most thoughtful gift I received at my baby shower was a big box of maxi pads and a canister of hemorrhoid pads from my sister-in-law. She had recently given birth and knew how much I would need these items. Since experiencing postpartum recovery firsthand, I’ve passed along my sister-in-law’s wisdom to other new moms in the form of childbirth recovery kits. Most women are surprised to find the postpartum recovery period both messy and painful and end up sending their husbands or partners to the store to buy embarrassing products such as maxi pads, nipple cream, hemorrhoid pads and more. Due to the intimate nature of the products needed during this delicate time, few women feel brave enough to discuss their needs with others and doctors often overlook such details. This is also a time when the focus is largely on the new baby and, consequently, the needs of the mother are low on everyone’s priority list. I hope my Childbirth Recovery Kits bring comfort to new moms during this difficult, exhausting, and yet uniquely magical time in their lives.
