I'm gonna be so uncomfortable with having to use pads after giving birth. I absolutely hate pads. I haven't used them…

no problem! :) good luck, mamma! @cjd

Yea I'm making a note off of this and I will be purchasing soon so I'll have it @momwife1316 again thank you. This is so much help . I probably would of never know and it would of been harder

it sounds like a lot but its so worth it!

you put the tucks pads on top of the reg pad and then spray the spray whenever you need it. the tucks are super thin so it wont make the padding bigger. also get a peri bottle for when you have to pee. you need water to be directly on your vag when you go or it could sting a lot. basically to dilute your pee

@momwife1316, @olliesmommy20 this is all so much 😖but thank you ladies. This is big help!

@cjd, the spray and pads you might find at walmart or any major store that has over the counter meds. if not, they have them online. the drs may give you some when you give birth. but you'll probably need more. its soothing and helps with the burning sensation. both were life savers for me! I healed rather quickly and didn't bleed very long at all but I'm still getting that shit again lol the nurses even made me a make-shift pad made from a diaper & ice. it was amazing. if you cant find those tucks pads you can always get a bottle of witch hazel, the main ingredient in the pads. the spray is a small blue spray can. google them! :)

I packed my own, but they gave me some and they worked really good for me! They are super long and absorbent and you really need that. I was bleeding a lot even a day after labor, but you're so sore you won't even care what kind of pads you use. & really ask for the spray of they don't already give it to you it helps heal it. I also used witch hazel and that heals it up aswell and makes you feel clean. I felt gross at least a week after! 😩

@cjd I am bringing my own as well! I will not be wearing the ones the hospital provides unless they tell me I have to.

they're the worst!

@cowgirlffa90, oh im just gotta buy my own. I don't need big diaper ones.

@olliesmommy20, but I shouldn't use the ones from the hospital right? I heard those are uncomfortable.

@momwife1316, should I get that stuff before and have it packed in the hospital bag? What is the spray for?

@momwife1316, where I get that stuff from😂I sound so clueless but I have no idea about all this

Recovery sucks, pads will be your bestfriend. 😩😂

I hate pads too but you will love them post birth especially if you have stitches.. get tucks medicated pads & dermoplast spray too!

I hate pads too! I can't stand the feeling of them, or the feeling of anything dripping... I especially hate the ones from the hospital. They are like big scratchy uncomfortable diapers! I will be using tampons as soon as I am cleared to do so!

@cjd heavy bleeding lasted like a week for me or almost 2 weeks the rest was just light bleeding and spotting it was just annoying

I had no idea that it even lasted that long. I knew that you had a 6 week healing process but I thought that the bleeding lasted for like a week maybe. @mrsmord

@candacelouise I'm glad!! . @cjd supposed to last 6 weeks but it gets super light , so tampons may be an option closers to thst time , once your doctor says u healed well. I healed really fast with both kids so like by 4 or 5 weeks I got the ok

@cjd, HAHAHAHA, 😂 yeah I am praying it doesn't last that long!

@raemeg, omg good luck. I seriously don't think Ima be able to do it. I have a strong Hate for pads.

6 weeks. Oh hell no 😂 good think I plan on breastfeeding. @candacelouise 6 weeks of that? Ridiculous

@cjd, I heard breastfeeding makes it stop faster. But they say normal is up to 6 weeks 😖. But it's supposed to get lighter and lighter!

omg this is what I'm going through right now!

@mrsmord, @candacelouise

@mrsmord, you totally just made my night!

How long does bleeding normally last?

@candacelouise yes depending on how you heal. !

Lol I feel the same! @mrsmord you can use tampons at some point after giving birth!!!?????

Yeah I know the feeling.

@mrsmord, @candacelouise yes lol hopefully I don't need them for long because I'll go crazyyyyy

Yea they are just so 😷😷😷 to me. I can never bring my self to use them for periods. It's so bad that I can hardly tolerate panty liners. I just hate the feeling of anything but tampons @newmommy1990

same lmao I uses tampons the second my doc gave me the okay

ugh nasty pads

@cjd, literally was just thinking the same thing. Except I had to use them for like 3 days after my endometriosis surgery. They are the worst! Ugh feel so nasty

Same here!😣
