I brought about 5 pairs of super old undies. I initially had like 10 pairs in my bag but decided I had gone overboard and took some out!! I ended up having to get DH to go home and bring more for me! I also brought 2 packets of pads. The hospital provided me with surfboard pads anyway, so I didnt run out of pads luckily.

On the day my daughter was born and the day after, I was soaking through pads really quickly and it was going through to my clothes and onto whatever I was sitting on... so I ended up needing DH to bring me more pants from home too. I didnt realise I was going to bleed THAT much, but yeah it was like niagara falls.

I was obvisouly not particilarly well prepared, but now I know for if theres ever a next time!
