Medical Maxi Pads

Maxi pads take care of postpartum bleeding, but when a breastfeeding mama's in a jam she can snip one in half and tuck them in her bra to double as nursing pads. They are ultra absorbent.

No anon #3, I was in NY. And the nurse actually told me they were only allowed to give 1 pair to everyone.

We get a box. Formula samples or a hand breast pump, lots of pads, both sanitary and for the bed, a stack of mesh undies (which I LOVE), the peri bottle, and various other items. A group of local ladies put together some things like tshirts, hand-knitted hats, etc.

Jennibean5, you didn't happen to deliver in Canada did you? I can't forget that yes, I did get the 1 pair of disposable undies-I hear you get 2 pair with a c-section though!

Ha...I didn't get this "swag" either. I got a peri bottle, very few super crappy pads, and the plastic seat that goes over the toilet to wash in (can't remember the name). Oh and my one pair of disposable undies.

Where I live we don't get a postpartum hospital bag. All the "swag" we get is a perri bottle, however that works great if you make your own baby wipes and solution for storing the solution and then sprtizing the baby wipes.
