Postpartum Bleeding and Discharge (Lochia)
Most of the new mothers have heavy lochia first week after labor but it will get lesser over time and change into yellow-white discharge 10 days later. During the first few days, it’s best to put on the maternity pads that provide better absorption and comfortable for your would if you have a tear or an episiotomy.
If you are worried about leaking, you can just get some Reusable Bed Pads and put them on the bed before lying down. Most hospitals provide disposal bed pads but for home use, reusable bed pads will be more economical. Besides that, you can also use the nappy pad for babies which is used for changing the diaper!
Anyway, I hope that you menstrual will come much later because my lochia was heavy and I wanted to be “clean” for long.
