Recovery from a cesarean birth is different from a vaginal delivery in a few ways, but there are also some similarities. For example, you will still have to deal with lochia, although it might not last quite as long as it would with a vaginal delivery. So you’ll definitely still need postpartum pads! And if you went through a long labor followed by an emergency cesarean – first of all, bravo, super mama! That’s a huge task. Second of all, you will probably also enjoy some of the pads on this list that offer absorption as well as healing properties, such as the ice packs or herbal infused pads.
