Postpartum
I wish I knew about the healing after having the
baby.
Postpartum bleeding! Nobody told me! I went into
it thinking oh, my period is light so I wont
bleed much after birth. Nopeit was TERRIBLE! I
wasnt prepared at all and I sent my husband to
get maxi pads and adult diapers the day after we
came home! Plus, I FF so after 3 weeks of PP
bleeding I had a week of normalcy and then I had
my first periodcouldnt use a tampon because I
hadnt hit 6 weeks. HELL! Thats all it
wasbloody hell.

Pregnancy is just pre work. Once the baby
arrives. !! You will not sleep.
Belly band
I wish I knew about a belly band to support your
growing belly! I worked through my pregnancy and

Hormones
I wish I knew about the hormones before I got
pregnant didnt know for the longest time and
thought I was having mental instability but it
was really the fact that hormones are out of
whack while pregnant.
I wish I had known how depressed you can get if
certain things get said. I wish I had known how
hormonal birth can make you. I cried and laughed
at the same time when she was born because I was
so happy.

High-risk prenatal care
I wish I knew that hyperemisis gravaderum was a
real thing and that is affects women. I also wish
I knew that there are doctors out there that
dont really care about you or your baby they are
just in it for the money. It would have saved me
tons of money and one preterm baby. I also wish
I knew that induction can take days. I wish I
knew more about preeclampsia too since I ended up
having it.

35 Things I Wish I Knew Before Pregnancy
You transform inside and out!
Your body changes, of course, thats obviousbut
no one bothers to tell you how your soul changes
as well. As your body transforms, so does your
inner most self. You live inside out because your
heart will soon be outside of your body. Its the
most beautiful and yet terrifying experience
youll ever go through. Embrace every moment and
hold onto it.

Rollercoaster. How emotional you get, how
uncomfortable everything is, and of course Acid
reflux!!!

35 Things I Wish I Knew Before Pregnancy
Theres so many things I wish I would have known
Maybe that its not as beautiful as people make
it seem to be. Between the yeast infections,
peeing yourself, not being able to get
comfortable ever, feeling tired, having to pee
every hour, feeling nauseated, being hotter than
usual, and then when you get far enough along the
dilation checks, how nothing ever goes as
planned, how labor sucks.. And that first
postpartum poo Everything kind of sucks. Its
all worth it, but no one ever warns you about the
bad parts!!
