hi my name is sydney i'm going to be your postpartum nurse is so nice to meet you congratulations on your new little one
they are so cubed okay we're gonna get up and go to the washroom together i brought you some postpartum mesh undies i love these because you can just throw them out when they get dirty
you're definitely gonna want to stay clear of like panty liners and regular pads because these are like
way too small for the amount of bleeding you're gonna have it's gonna be like a really heavy period for the next week or so
um even pads that are about this size it's
it's still not really gonna catch everything that's going to be coming out keep in mind if you're filling a pad that's around this size in less than an hour that's a little bit too much bleeding or if you're having clots that are bigger than the size of a golf ball that's also too much bleeding
but for now we're gonna go with a pad that's about this size hope that's okay it's gonna feel a little bit like you're wearing a diaper let's go
