This might sound silly but im a first time mom and overthinking everything. Just got my positive few days back. Is normal innerwear totally fine or do I need to switch to something special? pls dont judge, just want to be safe.
Yes, you definitely can, but cotton is your best friend right now. It keeps you dry and comfortable, which is so important as discharge increases during pregnancy.
I was so confused about this too during my first trimester! I switched to very soft, low-waist cotton ones and felt much better. Did anyone else feel regular elastic was too tight on their belly?
Don't spend too much money on expensive maternity brands right now. Just buy a pack of regular, larger-sized pure cotton panties from a local store, it is way more practical and cheap.
My doctor explicitly told me to wear only loose, 100% cotton panties to avoid yeast infections, which are very common due to hormonal changes in early pregnancy.
I just delivered last month and trust me, comfort is everything. Wear breathable cotton panties from day one, it helps so much with the early pregnancy bloating and sensitivity.
