Aaah white skirt and AF

[Innat]

Please help me, here's my problem.

1. I hate shopping
2. Managed to get an outfit to wear to a wedding that doesn't make me look completely hideous and i can still breast feed in.
3. The skirt is mostly white, well cream
4. This week I got my first period since having dd and it's all over the place.

what should i do? If i wear the skirt i am going to be completely paranoid about leaking

oh god oh god oh god i don't know what to do...the wedding is tomorrow. i'm working today so don't have time to buy a whole new outfit.

wear a tampon and a pad

and big pants

Wear really bight anf TIGHT control knickers with a big pad plus a tampon,.

go to the loo regularly and change pad!

'big and tight' that should have read

I bet you won't leak - it's never happened to me, and I get SOOPER heavy periods.

If I am extra paranoid - what about using a tampon and a sanitary towel? Or take loads of sanitary towels with you and change them really, really regularly?

What about wearing those humongous night time towels, the one in the blue packet? They are longer then normal, so more coverage.

Issue for me too! I have been looking forward to finally having my baby and getting back into something resembling normal clothes when it dawned on me that the only things likely to fit are a pair of white linen trousers I think I need to rethink that one

Thanks guys, i feel a bit better already. So please advise me on some good pads to get. I've never really used them and when i wore big ones after birth of dd i got chafing ! the midwife said it was coz i wasn't used to wearing them.

Are you OK wearing a tampon?

Maternity pad?

Always ultra in the blue packet - they are for night time. They aren't bulky,like maternity ones. They will give you more coverage, so you don;t have to be paranoid sitting down.

yep tampons are (mostly) fine. I just ordered a mooncup which should arrive today but i figured this wasn't the right situation to test it out!

Ok so i will go for the tampon/pad combo - always ultra blue packet...will pop out at lunchtime to get those.

and the big pants...they're just to hold my tummy in i assume? they won't magically stop my period will they???!!!
