Yep that would be ME!!!!

I took a wet bag in to hospital with me, made myself about 15 hour glass pads and everynight DH took home the 'soiled' ones and washed and dried them for me to use again the next day.
I made sure that I prerinsed them...eg I had a morning shower and put them in the bottom of the shower with me to rinse out.
I had no troubles with leaking what so ever, i had time to wash them when I came home..bugger me I was washing clothes and nappies anyway.
I was aware of when I would 'gush' and made sure that I went and changed my pad straight afterwards.
Its not that hard...honestly..man Ive done cloth for over 4 years now and had 2 babies in that time and used cloth both times.

ETA - PMSL at the lot of you saying you wont have time to do anything...come on girls your making it sound like she's not going to have a life and for those who have never used cloth but think it wouldnt work...hmmmmm you cant go judging something when you havent tried it

If you want somemore help honey, you know were to find me
Thanks Maz, good to know. I feel more confident about using cloth now. Will have to get the sewing machine out and sew myself some more- as dodgy as the ones a make are LOL and given that they take me 2hrs to make one but bloody PUL is a bugger to sew and I velour top mine and thats also a bugger to sew! How many layers of bamboo do ya reckon?

Plus i'll have more babies so will be able to use them again.


And having a homebirth I won't have to worry about DH being too scared to touch them, although maybe I can work on him. Also being summer shouldn't have a problem getting them dry.
