The hospital ones are big and bulky but great for that first day or 2. My hospital midwifes gave me 2 large packets of them in Nelson so I didnt need to use my own for a while. Plus I was in hospital for 4 days.]]> Wed, 10 Jan 2007 07:02:01 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=5150&PID=99819&title=which-maternity-pads#99819 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=5150&PID=99731&title=which-maternity-pads#99731 Author: busymum

I found the thick hospital ones were fine for when I was really just lying down in bed (bearing in mind I had a c/s and barely walked at hospital).]]> Tue, 09 Jan 2007 20:02:47 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=5150&PID=99731&title=which-maternity-pads#99731 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=5150&PID=99713&title=which-maternity-pads#99713 Author: fattartsrock

yeah go frozen surfboards!! i used the libra thin maternity jobs and you can get them with aloe vera as well. When my waters brole, and went on for EVER, i used some Tena incontinence surfboards I had een give, and they rocked. Still have a HUGE stash, well worth buying them if ytou can get over the "embarrasment" they were also really fantastic for post birth heavy bleeding, int he first few days, the hospital actaully gave me some, along with their surfboards as I bled heavily]]> Tue, 09 Jan 2007 19:32:45 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=5150&PID=99713&title=which-maternity-pads#99713 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=5150&PID=99672&title=which-maternity-pads#99672 Author: mummy_becks

Quite true about the hospital supplying them, but they can be a bit stingy and / or a bit slow on re-stocking - I really had to bug the midwives for more !!

And Kellz - ahhhh yes the "frozen" pads LOL I thought that was pretty neat, one of the student midwives at NSH brought me some not too long after my *second* round of stitches, such a relief !]]> Tue, 09 Jan 2007 16:31:05 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=5150&PID=99628&title=which-maternity-pads#99628 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=5150&PID=99617&title=which-maternity-pads#99617 Author: busymum

btw... you shouldn't need to pack any cause the hospital will supply what you need there. But you will need some for as soon as you come home.

Someone correct me if this is not true nationwide.]]> Tue, 09 Jan 2007 16:25:57 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=5150&PID=99617&title=which-maternity-pads#99617 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=5150&PID=99603&title=which-maternity-pads#99603 Author: Roksana

Which ones are in that pink pack? Johnson & Johnsons? I cant remember but they are in a pink pack with a pick of Mother and child.

I liked thos because they were not too think and yet absorbed well.

I used Stayfree (surfboards lol) for the first week. They are like the hospital ones but have the adhesive. Anyway my mum used to bleed and bleed forever (sorry if TMI) so I bought heeeeaps the first time and I still have some left over for #3 But I do like the extra bulk in the first few days. I'm actually not a huge bleeder so after the first week I just change to Libra supers and that makes me feel a bit more human cause they are soooo thin.]]> Tue, 09 Jan 2007 14:22:02 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=5150&PID=99548&title=which-maternity-pads#99548 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=5150&PID=99442&title=which-maternity-pads#99442 Author: Kellz

Yeah I bought whichever was on special, never used them all as I took advantage of the ones they left for me in hospital (which were hideous! But softer and more absorbent for immediately after).

When I got home, I used Goodnights as they were more shapely, still absorbent but not ultra ultra thick and uncomfy.]]> Tue, 09 Jan 2007 09:10:07 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=5150&PID=99391&title=which-maternity-pads#99391 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=5150&PID=99388&title=which-maternity-pads#99388 Author: mummy_becks

Stayfree or Budget for the first week they are thicker which I found that made it all a little softer down there then I switched to normal pad's "Libra".]]> Tue, 09 Jan 2007 07:42:31 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=5150&PID=99369&title=which-maternity-pads#99369 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=5150&PID=99366&title=which-maternity-pads#99366 Author: my2angels
