In my two previous maternity ward visits, I worked on the option of more is best. I took 2 packets of pads. One nightime stayfree style pack, and one maxi stayfree pack. For undies I had about 10 pairs in my bag. With extra reserves at home if needed in a little bag for hubby or mum to grab.
Some may look and say wow thats a lot, but if the undies were really spoiled(sorry if TMI) I personally just threw them out in that occasion.
As for the amount you bleed Day one and Two for me were pretty full on. By at least Day three to four it had calmed to a medium to heavy period. I guess everyone is different so hopefully you will get more perspectives as well.
The hospital i went to provided disposable undies for the first day or two which were yukky but easier than knickers, they also provided all the pads but i guess it depends on the hospital.
