I'm a ftm but many women in my family are 3rd time mommies and I had that same question. I ask my mom because she had 4 of us, she told me that I can use any heavy flow pads. I have always use the always brand so that's what I'm going to use too.
I used the heavy flow always pads also, the maternity ones cost much as I remember, just because they're maternity
Im a second time momma!! I like the pads they give you from the hospital but of course they dont give you a lot but i personally buy a variety of always pads ill get the overnight. They heavy and the regular cause you never know how much your going to bleed
Yup they couldn't have said it better!! Hospital gives u some but you need to buy way more overnights are great ones to use and make sure to get plenty .
