Those mesh ones are so great.<br /><br />And I totally have continued using the squarch bottle for rinsing my now-six-months-old baby during his baths. :)queen of entropyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13660505682480463036noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2117136912052729666.post-66663435003730915632009-09-09T10:32:39.458-04:002009-09-09T10:32:39.458-04:00I'm nearly crying from laughing from the sqarc...I'm nearly crying from laughing from the sqarching! You are SO right. This is the part of pregnancy NO ONE tells you about! <br /><br />I remember I also got a UTI during my sqarching that would not go away. I had it for at least a month. So between the sqarching, the giant pads, the bleeding, etc. I also had fire in my pee. Real nice. :)MyTruth0812https://www.blogger.com/profile/16689013901218837459noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2117136912052729666.post-33306960341727918002009-09-05T22:33:23.054-04:002009-09-05T22:33:23.054-04:00OK, I can not stop laughing! i have tears running...OK, I can not stop laughing! i have tears running down my face... this is all the stuff I was shocked about w/ my first baby- my sisters didn't even tell me about the attractive underwear and the gigantic pads!!!

Well let me tell you here in New Zealand you dont get a squarch bottle or even sexy mesh undies, you get given a couple of maxipads you could damn near go surfing on. Then get told to buy some more yourself. Undies?? well your Mum brings in some huge big gramma style undies for you. I nicknamed my maxi's my surfboard and another girl in the hospital with me called hers her packed lunch because she reckoned it was like having a packed lunch between your legs. <br />Welcome back by the way I am looking for to more of your candid views on motherhood, babies and bodyparts.Go-Bettyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12746808309929560250noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2117136912052729666.post-78314211493306184872009-09-01T20:48:35.263-04:002009-09-01T20:48:35.263-04:00Laughed so hard.

In fact, I'm surprised that C-section mommies actually have to do this. I had no clue. <br /><br />I stopped wearing the undies once the, um, FLOW, was manageable enough that I didn't think I was going to ruin all my underwear. And again, why do you have to wear a pad? No vajayjay trauma, I would think tampons would be OK. <br /><br />See, even those of us who've HAD babies don't know a damn thing about most of this. <br /><br />Glad you got some sleep!cla517https://www.blogger.com/profile/14825038094929045322noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2117136912052729666.post-47473350708971494812009-09-01T13:00:06.100-04:002009-09-01T13:00:06.100-04:00"squarch yourself off"

I tried to wear normal underwear but OMG - with a c-section scar it really is <i>not</i> awesome or comfortable or practical. I actually have 1 pair left in my bathroom closet...just in case, I suppose.<br /><br />And the squarch bottle (genius, I tell you, genius)? I hated that thing with a passion. I think I only kept up with it for a week or so after I came home. One good thing about the c-section? The bleeding is much less than if you'd had a normal birth because they actually took all the stuff out of you while they were in there so you don't have to worry about it as much.SMhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14716194564661523397noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2117136912052729666.post-53158062138512133792009-09-01T12:18:49.818-04:002009-09-01T12:18:49.818-04:00Hear hear notsojenny!
