  • I feel like a pit of extreme hunger in my gut when I am breastfeeding! It is making me very hungry in general!!
  • I get super thirsty. Like I would do extreme things for water! I guess not too many people experience what I feel. I think it is the flood of oxytocin. I was hoping someone else was in my boat!
