2nd Trimester

the hospital gowns post below has me thinking...

I hadn't thought about this before, but I know I will need some undies to rock the humungo pads after delivery and to come home in.  What all are you planning on wearing?  Granny panties?  Briefs?  Boy shorts?  I'm *pretty sure* my thongs aren't going to cut it for those first few days/weeks.  Wink

I know they give the mesh ones in hospital (and I will probably be sporting those for the first 24 hours at least), but what about for when you go home?  Any 2nd time moms have advice on this?

  • After the mesh panties, I wore my period ones. LOL
  • That's a good question, actually.

  • I am thinking depends! Boy shorts after or cheekies

  • Honestly..everyone who I have talked to said to get disposable undies. (wherever and whatever they are) I have no clue. Are they like depends?! But anyways Im assuming you bleed alot and etc. Plus Im thinking I want to be as comfy as possible.. Idk

  • Ha ha! My first thought is, honey, I gave up thongs a loooong time ago. But then again, hemmies and thongs are not friends! So I'm guessing I'll stick with my cotton briefs. I wouldn't say they're granny panties but I did buy some mat. undies that have a higher waist.

  • I was thinking about that too...I only wear thongs and don't even own any other kind of panties...So I'm sure I will need to invest in some before the time comes. ?I'll be interested to hear what advice you non first timers hav about this!!!
  • i wore the mesh ones too during my stay - trust me if you have a vaginal birth you will be way more comfy. ?then I just used my old period ones too.

  • I used Hanes Her Way cotton bikinis...I bought the craziest prints I could find so I'd feel all kinds of snazzy and pretty.
  • I got some advice to get Depends, so I'm going to do that for the heaviest days.  Then just my period panties (we all know we have them!!) with a thick pad (I am now grossed our remembering that part of having a bay).

    This may sound crazy but I don't have period panties. I have never used a pad they kinda gross me out...I always use tampons. ?I know I will have to get over that and I guess do some shopping for some new panties or depends. ??

  • I always wear bikinis because they're comfy and DH doesn't care (it's not like they're giant and white or anything). I'm going to take as many pairs of mesh panties as they'll let me, and then go back to regular undies. Of course, I'm not planning to wear the inflation device pads once I get home, I'll be purchasing some of the thin overnight heavy flow variety. If I have to change it 10 times a day, so be it, I'd rather that than be miserable wearing 3 inches of cotton between my legs. I prefer pads to tampons normally, but I'll be damned if I'm going to wear a virtual diaper for longer than need be.

  • I have some old bikini style panties that should have been thrown away a long time ago that I'll wear and then toss after the PP bleeding stops.

    This may sound crazy but I don't have period panties. I have never used a pad they kinda gross me out...I always use tampons.  I know I will have to get over that and I guess do some shopping for some new panties or depends.   

    Ditto.  I have my "period panties" but they are thongs as well-ones that I don't mind if they get stained if I leak.  And I'm totally with you on tampons over pads-I feel really gross when I wear a pad.  Guess I'll have to get over it though!  I liked the suggestion of snazzy Hanes-I'm thinking I may just do that. 

    Part of my problem is that I have no butt, so with full-butt panties there is nothing to keep the fabric in place so it just turns into a massive thong anyway.  Tongue Tied

  • Some bikini breifs are fine, you want a few pairsthat go a bit higher in case you have a c-section so it doesn't run rub on the incision. After the first 24 hrs your bleeding isn't as bad. Its just like a heavy period.
