The bleeding. I bled for a full 2 months before it subsided. I feel like everyone makes it seem like you only bleed for a little and then it’s back to normal. I felt weird about something that is so normal for some.

The loneliness (in my case, got no help) the intense emotions, the absolute RAGE, the sleepless nights (first month for sure), the barely able to SURVIVE... No one to help.

Bleeding and crazy mood swings! I was literally crying over everything 😭

how fast the dad shows their true colors and how it will affect your relationship forever.

The smell

Birth trauma! ☹️ I relived the events of my birth every day, almost all day, for most of my 3 month maternity leave

The anxiety, rage, the bleeding, difficulties with breastfeeding and pumping, and the lack of alone time.

The absolute rage that comes out of nowhere from the smallest inconvenience.

Also, carpal tunnel not going away🫠
