When do you buy postpartum underwear and pads?

Question

When do you buy postpartum underwear and pads? Like after you deliver or before the due date? How much time before due date?
And which type of which underwear or type of pads to buy?

Answer

Before you deliver. You get any kind you find most comfortable that can accommodate a heavy flow. After birth bleeding is no joke and can last for up to 6-8 weeks depending on the person.

Answer

Before! Like now! It’ll be one less hassle later.

Answer

Amazing has “under the bump” underwear that are great for c section or pregnancy

Answer

I’m waiting until baby gets here. Who knows if you’ll end up having a natural delivery or c-section. 
I have everything I want in a Amazon list. 😅 the hospital should give you enough supply to last a few days while waiting for Amazon.

Answer

I bought pads a few weeks before and I was grateful I did!

Answer

I still have heavy flow pads from before my pregnancy so I’ll use those (they’re what I used my other 2 pregnancies) and I use normal underwear, but I might buy some mesh ones this time.

Answer

This is my fourth and I’ve never had post partum underwear. I just get the really heavy flow pads and wear normal underwear

Answer

With my son the hospital provided them and gave me a bunch to take home.

Answer

Honestly I wore disposable undies with my son for the first two weeks. Always Discreet Boutique. That way you can just throw it away with no worries! I plan on using them again!

Answer

I get them a few weeks before, like 37-38 weeks. And I just go to Walmart and buy large overnight pads and some smaller daytime ones. Then I just get cheap large underwear from Walmart too
