Maternity Pads

Helen • I am 30 yrs old. Been with my partner 5yrs. He is a guitar teacher and I am a home carer. Bought our first house last year. Now have our first child. A son named Harvey born 27/10/3016
I am wondering what I need to buy myself once baby is born. Is there a special brand designed for new mums or is it a case of Always pads, Tenant lady or something like that. I am UK based so may not have some brands available to me. Any advice would be appreciated. Thanks
