I'm Currently Feeling: | Maternity Mats.... Preggy Brain strikes again.......
I went to Boots today to get a few bits for my hospital bag and I picked up what I thought was a large pack of maternity pads/sani-towels.
I just got home and went to put them away and have discovered that they are infact maternity pads......they are to protect where you are sitting / laying in late pregnancy / after birth.
So - do I take them back and get maternity pads or are they worth keeping. They didnt cost much.
Anyone??

I'm Currently Feeling: | Well, to be fair, I didn't even know the existed, and upon learning they do, I may well have a trip out to find some as I'm sure the other half wouldn't appreciate his "pretty car" being covered in anything at any point! lol
Thanks  |

I'm Currently Feeling: | Are they like the big pads you get on the bed after birth in hospital? Maybe worth keeping to put on your bed if you're having a heavy bleed. |

I'm Currently Feeling: | I got these a while ago and have one on my bed just incase my waters break whilst i'm in it as i have one of those foam beds that moulds itself to your shape and it would wreck it, they may come in handy for lo as it gets older x |
