That my hormones would go CRAZY for a couple of weeks and I'd cry. A lot. Over nothing. That I'd also sweat like crazy at night and then wake up freezing, in the middle of summer, no matter what level we set the AC to. Lol, what an adventure; and what a great idea for an thread! :-)
That every time I needed to use the bathroom I would have to go in the shower because I couldn't physically sit on the toilet due to the immense pain of a level 4 tear.
How difficult breastfeeding could be and that it may not work out. And what a failure I'd feel like if/when it didn't work out.
The same thing happened to me. And I got so depressed because of it. But we should be proud of what we were able to do. Make beautiful amazing babies! I'm sorry you went through this too it was and still is a terrible feeling.
That recovery can actually be relatively easy with little pain but the thought of having sex again will be terrifying. (I'm terrified that it's somehow gonna hurt like hell but also be hotdog/hallway scenario)

Yeah, I'm still upset about it. I felt as though my body had betrayed me. But, I realized what a silly thing to say. This body created a life, sustained it for 9 months! My DD was born full-term and healthy. We are truly blessed to have our LO's.
That three weeks later I still hurt when I poop. That the pain and swelling down there would be so awful. Mainly that breastfeeding would be so so hard. I didn't expect it to be easy but it really sucks.
That grandparents go crazy and forget about how it was for them!!!! My in-laws are driving me absolutely crazy- they want to FaceTime every day( like I'm going to answer that while I'm almost naked and feeding my baby every 2 hrs or more frequently while she cluster feeds!!!) Or they want to bring people over because they're excited to see the new baby ( who cares about the person who gave birth like a day ago or week ago)....and the above mentioned by all the ladies!!

I snorted when I read this! Scared the crap out of my little guy as he was nursing at the time.
That breastfeeding is hard! I thought she would latch right away and things would be easy. In reality, it is 2 weeks later and half of her feedings still involve her kicking and screaming at the beginning. Also, nobody told me that my boobs would leak so much! For the first week I was going through several shirts a day because I was leaking so much! I still leak through every night and usually have to pump in the mornings just to relieve the pressure.
That you would get so frustrated with your LO's crying....even though you know that it is their only way to communicate. Then you would look at their sweet face and cry because you felt bad about getting so frustrated...
That going back to work could be terrifying. Not bc I'm leaving the baby but bc I don't know how my husband is going to handle him all night long without my help. I just worry a lot!
How much you will miss your life before baby, giving up yourself to be the mommy of this little person was the biggest shock for me, but then feeling so guilty for feeling that way and then cry at the thought of life without your baby.... If that makes sense.

It totally makes sense to me, it's such an interesting change process moving into motherhood, I miss parts of life but in a much deeper way, my life feels so much more real now, like it's just begun.
That I could feel so irritated when I have to wake up in the middle of the night to breast feed, but then feel so blessed & in love when I look down at my LO! :x
That I still can't sleep on my stomach because my boobs are so full & my nipples are tender.... I'm a tummy sleeper & missed it so much during pregnancy
That you will no longer see your boobs as intimate body parts but as feeding devices, you will loose all shame to pop them out with people around lol... But some people just dont understand
