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??

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

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 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

They're just like the disposable changing mats!! I think I'll keep em. You never know how much you'll bleed after so they might save the bed linen.
