Bleeding after Birth !!!!!!!!
I know you do bleed after you had baby but I was just wondering if it was similar to Period Bleeding Mine were pretty heavy before, Or was it a lot more. Do you Have to buy the great Big maternity Pads or Would something Like Always Ultra with Wings for instance be ok.
I have No idea Does anyone Else know?

I have only seen own brand maternity pads in tesco, in the baby department. Do the normal sanitary towel companys make maternity pads? If not are the tesco ones ok these days? xxxxxx

I just bought 1 pack from Mothercare but that wasn't enough for the 2 days I was in & I bleed for quite a long time afterwards, atleast 4 weeks. I just wore old cotton knickers I had had for years - good excuse to get some nice new ones!

I got given the pads I needed for the first week from the hospital (I live over in Norway) and they also gave me disposable pants which were a bit like hotpant style pants made out of a similar thing to tights. The pads they gave for the first few days were more like nappies they were so big but they were fab as you really did not have to worry about any leakages and were very comfy!
I bled very heavily for the first few days and there is no way a normal sanitary pad would have coped. But after about day 3 things slowed down a bit and I used maternity pads from boots, now I have moved on to normal sanitary pads that are longer for night ware and my lo is 2 weeks old.
As some of the others have said something well padded is a good idea as it does makes things more comforable for if you have stitches!
The other thing we got out here is a thin large padded disposable sheet which I think you can buy in boots in the UK for if your waters break in bed. These are great for putting under you for when you go to bed just in case your pads do leak, it saves you having to change the sheets! I also had one on the car seat during the last few weeks of pregnancy just in case my waters broke!!
