How many maternity pads do I need after giving birth? Are always infinity (heavy flow) ok for such purpose or what did…

@saramarie09, @their.bomb.ass.mom thank you, ladies! It helped a lot

@stacy_, yeah I changed them every 2-3 hours.. Even if you don't fill the pad you'll want to change it for sanitary purposes.. And yes she's right breastfeeding with call you to bleed more or heavier I should say..

I bought the biggest count they had.

@chelsea0820, I see, thank you. Didn't know that. Yes I'm planning n breastfeeding

@stacy_, after birth you use about a package a week maybe less. And if you breast feed be prepared to clot and gush Bc breastfeeding makes your cervix contract and helps bleed out faster

@their.bomb.ass.mom, thanks, it helps. I'll probably buy one package and then I'll see if I need more or not. The problem is those packages are coming in different sizes(16, 32, etc pads). That's why I'm confused :)

I used the heAvy duty ones cause I bled sooooooooooooo much. But the ones in the hospital are like 2 feet long I hated them

also if it helps I bled for about 3 weeks after.

I used at least 3 packages of Always something or another. I know you can Google best pads for postpartum care. I used to use tampons during my period. but I never have since my daughter. hated them. so I even used them after birth.

@saramarie09, sounds like a lot for me, but I've never given birth before, so I feel like I'm lost :)

@saramarie09, I've read that women change them like once in 2-3 hours, is it true? About 6 - 8 pads per day?

Yeah I had the same his sue but I only had bleeding for about a week after I had Mt daughter.. But I know people who have had bleeding for 2-3 weeks.. So I would just buy enough for a week and then buy from there.. I bough I think 2 packs of heavy flow.. @stacy_

@saramarie09, got it, but how long did you use heavy ones? I never use them so I don't want to buy too many, because when my period comes back I'll just throw them away.

I brought some of the hospital pads home then I bough heavy flow pads.. I put two in because when I set down they moved around..
