With Cooper it lasted about 3 weeks and then AF arrived when he was 9 weeks old *Faint*

I mainly used the Pams Super Pads with wings, they were fantastic, for the heavier days I think I used Libra Goodnights, I don't even think I brought the Maternity ones because they were so freaken expensive.]]> Thu, 05 Feb 2009 19:13:52 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=24330&PID=607090&title=lochia-question#607090 <![CDATA[Lochia question : I was onto &#034;super&#034; (not...]]> https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=24330&PID=607072&title=lochia-question#607072 Author: busymum

I was onto "super" (not maternity) pads at around day 4, and the bleeding lasts up to 6 weeks but lighter and lighter.]]> Thu, 05 Feb 2009 18:46:01 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=24330&PID=607072&title=lochia-question#607072 <![CDATA[Lochia question : Wow, I didn&#039;t realise how...]]> https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=24330&PID=606969&title=lochia-question#606969 Author: MrsMojo

Wow, I didn't realise how bad my bleeding was  thanks guys.  Yes Tishy I'd love to grab your unused packets if you don't want them and then I should have enough to last and can start diverting my cash to stocking up on nappy cream.]]> Thu, 05 Feb 2009 17:03:16 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=24330&PID=606969&title=lochia-question#606969 <![CDATA[Lochia question : Super heavy for at least 10 days...]]> https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=24330&PID=606961&title=lochia-question#606961 Author: fire_engine

Super heavy for at least 10 days - 4 of those were in hospital so I could nick theres. I think the first 5 days I had 2 pads in at a time, then 'graduated' to one pad. After that, I went down to the superheavy menstrual pads for a week or so, then gradually down the absorbancies. I was using pantyliners by week 6.]]> Thu, 05 Feb 2009 16:57:03 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=24330&PID=606961&title=lochia-question#606961 <![CDATA[Lochia question : Oh and didnt need surfboards as...]]> https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=24330&PID=606935&title=lochia-question#606935 Author: peanut butter

First baby:  Super heavy for first week.  hospital didnt provide any so I was going through a pack or so a day.  Loved the surfboards as I had a very sore toosh.  Went to thinner ones at home and was on to normal ones about week 3.

 

Second baby:  Hospital provided while I was there.  Went through 2.5 packs of surfboards in the first week.  Then down to libra regular.

Everyone seems to be quite different. I had super duper heavy for a few days. Heavy for about a week, then light until 4 weeks. I still used maternity pads until about 3 weeks just because they felt better on my damaged bits. I think I used about 5 packs?? (including hospital ones)]]> Thu, 05 Feb 2009 16:03:30 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=24330&PID=606916&title=lochia-question#606916 <![CDATA[Lochia question : I think I was into normal pads...]]> https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=24330&PID=606874&title=lochia-question#606874 Author: tishy

I think I was into normal pads once I got home which was 10 days. But being a sun-roof delivery I got a decent clean out

Anyway I have 2 packs of 'surfboard' type maternity pads lying around here which I am more than happy to give you. ]]> Thu, 05 Feb 2009 15:25:35 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=24330&PID=606874&title=lochia-question#606874 <![CDATA[Lochia question : I cant remember exactly although...]]> https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=24330&PID=606861&title=lochia-question#606861 Author: kiwisj

I cant remember exactly although I had 2 packs in hospital and another two at home and one of those is still unopened. Then I went through 1/2 a pack of regular flow pads, then used liners for maybe a week? ]]> Thu, 05 Feb 2009 15:18:29 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=24330&PID=606861&title=lochia-question#606861 <![CDATA[Lochia question : mine was about 6 weeks all up...]]> https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=24330&PID=606854&title=lochia-question#606854 Author: jaycee

mine was about 6 weeks all up for both births. Super heavy was maybe a week ??(memory loss). I had about 3 packs before birth and then got different pads as necessary.

The hospital ones are acutally really good - super long and very thick (like walking around with a brick in your undies ) but the padding is great if you are sore. They were much better when I had Sophie as they had changed them to have the sticky backing so they stayed put. I would suggest taking a couple of packs of their pads home if you can.]]> Thu, 05 Feb 2009 15:13:35 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=24330&PID=606854&title=lochia-question#606854 <![CDATA[Lochia question : I&#039;m trying to be as prepared...]]> https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=24330&PID=606838&title=lochia-question#606838 Author: MrsMojo

I'm trying to be as prepared as possible and have been stocking up on things I need since I got BFP but it's been awhile since I did this and anyway last time my lochia was heavier than most and lasted longer because the high risk team didn't think to refer me to a haemotologist for my bleeding disorder(mini rant over... I digress).  I have a few packs of maternity pads now and am wondering how many maternity pads I'll need and when I can switch to normal pads.

How long did your lochia last and how long as it super heavy for?

ETA: My haemotologist wants me to stay in hospital for 24+ hours this time so they can be sure that the drugs they give me are helping to make my bleeding normal so I'll use the hospital supplies while I'm there.
