POSTPARTUM- WHAT I KNOW NOW
- While you will be thrilled to have your baby in your arms, the first four weeks are mostly spent in frustration, exhaustion, tears, and..copious amounts of blood.
- ..But each day gets better.
- You will miss your baby’s kicks and nudges you enjoyed so much in those last few months of pregnancy.
- Breastfeeding in public may have been intimidating at one point, but your hungry, crying baby will help you get over it in a second!
- You won’t recognize yourself in the mirror for a while..
- ..But for the most part, your body will start going back to normal. For the most part!
- All you hear during your pregnancy is to sleep as much as you can.. still, nothing prepares you for what is about to hit you!
- It will be a while before you can get your cute and dainty Kate Spade handbag out, long live diaper bag!
- Still not gotten your period? Hurraah! It can take up to a year for breastfeeding moms, and you won’t hear any of us complaining!
- Say goodbye to all the luscious hair you had during pregnancy, they can now be found in your shower drain (gross, I know!)
