Pregnancy, labor and delivery can be filled with magical feelings; getting to know your child in the womb and just after she is born can truly hold some of the most special memories that you will keep close forever. That said, these moments are far from glamorous. Many moms experience some degree of perineal tearing during delivery, which can lead to discomfort and swelling. Luckily, most hospitals have got your covered with ways to treat perineal sensitivity to help you heal faster. But the swelling and discomfort can last past your checkout and return home, so it’s a great idea to stock up on some perineal ice packs to use once you’re back in the comfort of your home. It’s also a great idea for moms who plan on delivering at home to have some perineal ice packs on hand for post-delivery.
