I just wanted to add my 2cents!

I agree with what others have said about those surfboard pads - they look horrendous and you think you'd never wear them in a million years but they are the best!!
I bought the Libra ultra thin as well - thankfully though, my sister gave me a packet of the surfboards. I ended up using the surfboards and nothing else for the first 2 weeks - even after the bleeding slowed down so I could use non-maternity pads. The surfboards are so much more comfy against a sore, torn perenium. The ultra thins HURT!! Youch! Plus, you can tear the end of the surfboards and insert an ice popsicle inside the lining to soothe your sore girly bits. (my hospital supplied the ice popsicles.)

Also, I bought a couple of cheap ($20) Target maternity bras which were brilliant in the hospital. Not a lot of support but enough for sitting around in bed and they were extra comfy for sleeping in.

The pigeon breast pads were my favourite. They are pretty pricey though - after a couple of weeks I switched to the cheapie ones.

The BEST thing I had in my labour bag was some frozen apple juice poppers. I took lollies but in the end, the idea of that fake glucose made me feel ill. But the icy cold fruit juice was great for cooling me down, getting my blood sugar up and it gave me something to suck on. I drank all 6!!
