11. Pain Relievers & Arnica – Gentle Support for Postpartum Aches

Your body does incredible work during childbirth — but that can mean soreness and aches in the days that follow. Keeping a few trusted pain relievers on hand can help you stay comfortable and rest easier while you heal.

Tylenol (acetaminophen) and Advil (ibuprofen) are common choices for managing postpartum aches, cramping, and general pain. Be sure to check with your caregiver for the right dose and what’s best for your unique recovery needs.

Many new moms also like to have homeopathic arnica in their postpartum kit. This gentle, natural remedy is popular for reducing bruising, swelling, and trauma after birth — a simple way to help your body bounce back.

✅ Why Moms Include Pain Relievers & Arnica:
✔️ Helps manage normal postpartum aches and pains
✔️ Arnica supports healing from swelling and bruising
✔️ Easy to pack in your birth or hospital bag
✔️ Supports a more comfortable, restful recovery

Postpartum Tip:  Always ask your caregiver for specific guidance on what pain relief options are best for you.
