If you're worrying about excessive Bleeding I would suggest you start Drinking Red Raspberry Leaf tea now. It helps prevent hemorrhaging while your uterus is shrinking back to its prepregnacy size.  My bleeding was so light and I used Always Infinity pads which are very thin. 7 days later I had absolutely no bleeding at all.

Victoria Secret has Cheeky panties that I wear to sleep. Try to get them in a small or X-small so they can keep your pad in place. The lace is very comfortable.

I totally understand that it's embarrassing cause I had a csection, n my bf was in the room when the nurse came in to help me change my bloody pad before I was allowed out of bed!  How humiliating! But he was so sweet n would help me walk to the bathroom, and do all that stuff right after the surgery.  He had to see my bloody mess lol but he was very nice about it n never looked at me gross. Just wear some tight boy shorts and be prepared to bleed like crazy!  Also,  your not supposed to use tampons for the first 6 weeks, so they will come in handy after birth AND during your first period lol

Boy short panties look a lot nicer than the belly high panties lol. Something nice that I'm going to be using afterwards to shape your tummy back is the belly bandit. I didn't use it after my other two pregnancies and how I regret it. Just thought I'd share. ;)

The same tea to help with miscarriage bleeding it really does make a difference. I hate pads wish it was a situation where tampons are allowed but time will fly by. Bleeding won't be so apparent when were staring at our babies!!

I bought some hanes, they look like mens boxer briefs, but they are womens. Theyre really comfy and fit the pads well.

Id go with boy shorts like all these ladies said youre going to be bleeding so much anything expensive would probably get ruined and just waste your money. I have csections and boy shorts are even comfortable for me so either way u deliver ull be ready with boy shorts or even grannys lol

Boy shorts are super comfortable and if by chance you have a csection they are really good for that too. And as far as the blood goes white undies or black undies are the best. Black because they won't stain and white because you can bleach them and 90% of the time the blood will come out.

I understand what u mean it embarrassing me to have to wear a pad. But I really don't have a choice. So boy shorts are a good alternative.

After having that baby, you'll want done comfortable panties! You'll be bleeding a lot. And I don't see why your boyfriend would care what panties you wear afterwards?

You'll want the granny ones, because you're gonna bleed alot, and for awhile. Some women bleed like 4 to 6 weeks. I'm almost 4 weeks pp and I'm just now stopping. But you don't wanna ruin cute ones with all that blood, and at first you're gonna be in huge pads. It truly felt like I was wearing a diaper. When I switched over to more regular pads I went back to my regular undies, mainly bikini cut and such. When I stop entirely I'll go back to mt cute ones.

If all your bf is worried about is your underwear right after you give birth then you've got a problem. You should be thinking more about the baby than about looking sexy.

The hospital is going to give you some big mesh panties.. they are super comfortable an you should really wear those. The last thing you're gonna be thinking about is what your bf thinks of your underwear.

You may be bleeding for a while, so you should wear some that can hold a pad.  I'm sure you can find some nice ones... I just wouldn't recommend expensive ones just in case of blood getting on them. I know there's gotta be some cute ones out there :)
