What is a maternity pad?

Hello mummies, Mind sharing with me what's the purpose of the maternity pad? When should I start using it? Is it for post natal or when the due date is drawing near? What's the different between the normal sanitary pad and the maternity ones? Not possible to use panty liner instead? My EDD is on 14th Oct and this is my first pregnancy. Please help a sister out. Thank you so much 😇💕

Hi there .. you will only start to be wearing a maternity pad after u gave birth . U will be like having full flow mensus(actually even more blood than usual full flow mensus) for the couple of few days upon delivering . Definitely a pantyliner wouldn't be enough . The difference of the normal sanitary pad and the maternity ones are the length and thickness . U will be given epikool pad too .
