I bought maternity pads. But ended up hating them. Because they’re too thick and uncomfortable. I switched to normal pads and felt a lot more comfortable. For me, even if the bleeding is minimal (near the end of bleeding) I will still change every 4hrs. Impt to keep hygiene up to prevent wound infection. My bleeding lasted for 5weeks. Everyone is different. But you can get postpartum massage to help “push” all the dirty blood out. You can also ask your gynae to help you clear blood out as much as possible during delivery.
