Miranda its very cool that you posted this! I know a lot of women dont like to talk about the less... pretty sides of pregnancy, but its so important! I didnt know a lot of these things until the last few years because you never really hear about them.
Thank you so much! I was kind of nervous to write it, but I did it BECAUSE most people don't talk about it. I think it's too bad that we kind of romanticize pregnancy and birth. I feel like that makes women have unrealistic expectations and they will be shocked (or even worse: feel like they are abnormal or did it wrong) because they had never heard any of these things before hand! Which is a shame, because it is still a wonderful process... just not "movie" wonderful. Real Life Wonderful.
Thanks for posting all of this. I am 36 weeks and have been looking for the honest truths of postpartum after effects. Now I'm going to the grocery store to stock up on pads, paper plates & plastic cups (so my husband can "do" the dishes haha), along with lanolin. Thanks!!
