Maddysgram 6,159 Posted November 28, 2012 There was a post just like this a few months back and all the hospital handled it differently (like everything else) Some got a mesh disposable pad, some just had a pad put under them . This is very normal & common, don't fret over it! If I miss you before Friday, thought& prayers for a speedy recovery! 2 tattoomommy and ☠carolinagirl☠ reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Mrs. CMK 188 Posted November 28, 2012 Bless your heart. This happened to me too. I was sort of mortified but they were so non-chalant about it. Apparently happens all of the time. No big deal. Just let them know and they will take care of you. God bless your journey! 1 tattoomommy reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
vanessa1215 35 Posted November 28, 2012 I too had my cycle when I was scheduled for my surgery. I brought my own pads and word the lovely hospital undies. No big deal at all! Just let your nurse know and it shouldn't be a big deal! Best of luck to ya! 1 tattoomommy reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Amy337 8 Posted November 28, 2012 It's actually not that bad.. It's more uncomfortable due to the gas and bloating. Make sure you take a pillow to hold over your stomach. For getting up and down.. It helps a lot I've just been relaxing in my recliner and sipping on peppermint tea. I will keep you in my thoughts! Good luck . 1 tattoomommy reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
