i got you now. When i read your inital post, i didnt realise that you had got pants, and was all muddled up.
Ended up buying yesterday 2 packs of Tena Extra Supa, and 1 pack of Stayfree maternity. And 10 pairs black huge full brief undies. I figure, if i go early, then they are the things i dont want anyone else to have to buy for me. Hopefully, that will do. If i rinse the undies out at the hospital, then DH washes them at home, at least the blood will be gone already, and he wont see the staining....not that i would really want to hang on to them - being as attractive as they are! NOT!!
