Maternity pads

for the 1st 24hrs i used the libra goodnight/maternity as they are somewhat thicker
and after the 24hr heavy bleed i used the libra ultra thin maternity pads which i liked better coz i didnt feel like a was walking about with this huge thing betwwen my legs.

with my last baby i decided the pads just werent enough and people had suggested using newborn nappies instead but i thought thats too expensive so i went to the cheap nappy store and got adult nappies which are like a pk of 25 i cant remember how much but i deff felt alot less worry about leaking especially in those 1st few hrs when u have to walk back to ur ward. and blood is still flowing fast. and they arnt visable as a nighty or hospital gown hides them well. i used them for the 1st few hrs and at night. will be getting some more this time.

Rorylex - thats awful they make you walk back to your ward also!! after squeezing a baby out you would think you would qualify for a wheel chair!! bugger that for a joke i would feel like my insides are gonna fall out

My midwife has suggested those adult nappies to me also. She said she's had a few people use them and says they're great cause you just chuck them after use (obviously) so no need to worry about ruining your undies if the pads don't offer enough protection.
