    kindof - on the mat pads, I initially bought 2 packs but then got another 1 before moving onto Always. I might've gotten away without the last 1 technically, but the extra cushioning and absorption meant I didn't have to worry about it or whatever (peace of mind). I'm on day 16 and still bleeding (tapered off slightly around day 10ish but then came back in full force). Of course everyone is different!

    sorry to the boys for lady talk :)

    Poor girl. I just feel so guilty as this never happened to me. I was fine every time.

    It's not your fault Tara, please don't feel like you did anything wrong by having healthy babies.

    Kindof- the MWs at my hospital were great with BF support. They were constantly offering help, looking at positioning etc so hopefully yours will be the same. As Feelie says, don't be scared to ask for help.

    I'm going to speak to my manager this week about doing some KIT days soon. Am I mad? I love being at home with Henry but I miss work. I know I'll prob feel different when it comes to going back properly but I miss the adult interaction and my lovely staff.

    Ladies who are due

    BUY BIG PANTS!!!

    My suggestion is to buy cheapo big knickers in a size too big - if you end up with stiches having pants that are too tight is VVV painful!

    I ended up wearing bikini bottoms until I could get out and 'embrace my inner sloggi wearer' as SB says!!

    I bled for about 8 or 9 weeks - nice :rolleyes:

    I wonder if it's because it's winter, but does anyone else's baby hate being undressed/changed/naked? :p
