After birth you are gonna need the thickest pads you can find. No joke! Dry weve is good and don't foreget there may be more then just a pad if you deliver naturaly because many woman get hemroids and you may have to line your pad with tux pads too. Sorry to be TMI but it's true. happy.gif

I always use the ones the hospital gives me at first, but they are really thick and bulky so I switch after a day or so to Always ultra thin with wings. I get the long ones and they work great and aren't obnoxiously huge. wink.gif

I agree with the other moms. The Longest and Thickest pads you can find are the best! smile.gif And just in case your hospital doesn't provide any....get some tucks pads for swelling in that area. They'll really help. Trust me! wink.gif

Ooh, those are unpleasant memories. I pretty much just bought the thin supers and they worked great. The hospital was also kind enough to give me these super attractive fishnet underwear things. The first time I had to wear those I was humiliated! My sister never had those though so hopefully you won't.

Use the hospital ones first, then if you run out, you'll need the thickest and longest ones you can find. Wear old granny underwear also. You'll be sure to leak, a lot.

Ah yes the fishnet underwear. blink.gif Both of the military hospitals I gave birth in gave me those. They were also nice enough to give me the super long pads and the tucks. When I got home from the hospital I used the Always overnights. They were perfect.

Yep, I had the fishnet underwear too...but hey, they keep those HUGE hospital pads in place, right? If you run out of the ones that the hospital gives you, I reccomend the thickest Always that they sell. Extra long too! And buy a container of Tucks as well. Believe me, you'll need them if you have a vag delivery. thumb.gif

Oh man, those are some unpleasant memories. I agree with everyone else--those fishnet underwear were awful! I wore my maternity underwear for a few weeks afterwards (even when they were huge) so that I didn't ruin the good pairs then threw those nasty things away!

dito.gif I switched from the hospital ones to always maxi pads with wings(the thicker ones) while I was still in the hospital, but after I got home I went to good old regular Always ultra thin with wings. thumb.gif I really didn't bleed very heavily after the first day. wink.gif

I recommend the super thin and long overnight ones with maximum absorbency...the thick ones killed me where the stitches were.

My cousin was exactly like you. She NEVER had a period until she got PG. BUT she had trouble conceiving b/c her hormones were in a pre-pubesent state, causing her to never have a period. But after 5 years of trying she and her hubby ended up PG. Miracles happen. smile.gif

I preferred the ones from the Hospital as well... just get friendly with a nurse, and ask for an extra bag, they will give them to you. I took spares home both times so far, from different hospitals...they want to make you happy, they will give them to you! good luck with all! biggrin.gif
