Preggies, Happy Tuesday🎈What are the things nobody tells you about birth? Or what were you surprised about when you had…

@rylansmomma, after I pushed out my daughter doc said... U know you have hemorrhoids? Sigh what we will do for our little ones. Lol.

That your vagina will feel like a war zone for at least 2 weeks!

That you poop and pee sometimes 😂

hemoroids and how bad your hormones are after

@snicole12, lucky you lol!!! While they were inserting the dosage I felt a shock down my right leg. They told me ahead of time that it was a slight possibility it would happen and it sure did lol!!

the fact that you might or WILL crap all over for everyone to see

And not one told me how bad my back would hurt from the epidural afterwards, I could not stand straight my back hurt more than my vagina 😭

That you may pee yourself after birth for example when I was laughing and peed myself while in the hospital and peed myself without knowing I had to go so not know when you had the urge to pee

@1sttimemommy0516, I didn't get that 😳

I've got one word for this, hemorrhoids. Either way you deliver, you don't get out of it lol.

@mommyandbriston, I had it really bad the first two weeks after birth. Felt like someone died and thought I was crazy for being sad and crying all the time. It Was horrible but dr assured me it was temporary and he was right. The shift in hormones is a bitch

The stinging and burning while peeing for weeks after, how bad pp sex will hurt omg

The pitocin doesn't stop after the baby you still will get it to help your cervix close and your bleeding to slow

Everyone knows that back labor is a thing, but NOBODY told me that hip labor is a thing!!

Definitely the baby blues @nurseriri

@preggie_usa, no one told me about the baby blues after birth.

@preggie_usa, how swollen you can get after delivery.

How bad it would hurt to go to the bathroom afterwards. And that your water would just keep leaking like you were peeing your pants for a long time after breaking.

no one told me how painful it would be to pee for the first time after giving birth. and also no one told me how EMOTIONAL I would be the first week after birth. I was a mess!

how your stomach will look terrible but just be patient for a few months. I wasn't prepared for the mess my tummy was

Postpartum bleeding! The adult diapers and massive pads, the perineum cleaning bottle, the witch hazel and the numbing spray! Did I mention the massive pp bleeding?? I was NOT prepared and it took me 3 weeks of heavy bleeding to stop...just to start my first period a week later.

that having stiches when they cut me hurt more than having a natural birth

mood swings

@lun2016 I would say start at 4 months. Putting the baby down in the crib when she/he is very sleepy, but still awake. Let the baby fall asleep on their own. This way you won't have an overtired baby. You'll get plenty of sleep also doing this.

Discharge 😑 no one told me about discharge!

about how I will feel after a csection

how's that done @junesmommy15

No one told me anything about my c section or anything related to it. And no one told me about 6 weeks of bleeding and no sex. But also no one told me that I would recover so quickly and easily

My c section. Puking and shaking uncontrollably during the whole surgery. Then not being able to anything on my own. It was worse than hell

no hemeriods for me

what my sister in law told me is when I'm pushing DO NOT PUSH LIKE YOU HAVE TO POP push like you have to take a hard pee

The recovery, I couldn't walk for almost 2 weeks I just cried. Being in serious pain & not being able to help yourself (walk, shower, go to the bathroom) it makes it very hard to take care of a newborn. I'm 4 weeks pp and just now starting to feel better- did I mention about how it feels to go to the bathroom or deal with a UTI and Uterus infection from delivery? All worth it though.

No one mentioned the shock that travels down your leg while getting an epidural 👀👀

2 things. 1. the hormones that follow giving birth make pregnancy hormones seem like child's play. 2. nursing contractions, holy cow I was not prepared and they get more painful with each baby.

That recovery is faster and easier than people make it sound. yes, I was sore for a few days, but I'm 13 days pp now and I feel TOTALLY normal, it's crazy to me.

@inked.mermaid, lol me too

I love that @emiliasmommy15 I'm doing hypnobirthing at a birth ctr so all natural for me, glad to hear an actual positive post :-)

The soreness afterwards for weeks sometimes. It's a lot more painful that I was expecting with my first child. especially if you have to have stitches from an episiotomy! stool softeners are so important after giving birth too!!!

@michellevaldez4750, I wasnt expecting him to just slide out after that. It surprised me! haha

The cramps you have after while breast feeding😭 I love my feeding times with my daughter but damn these hurt bad

@inked.mermaid, I had the teeth chattering and shivers even without an epidural. that was one thing I wasn't prepared for! and the feeling after the shoulders are out and the baby just slips right out the rest of the way lol is a really weird feeling!!

The teeth chattering and shivers from the epidural was very annoying. How weird it feels once the babies sholders are out and the rest just kinda falls. And everyone said that you basically give birth twice, once for baby and once for the placenta, well my doctor just kinda pushed on my tummy to get the placenta out. And how uncomfortable the stitches are in your kachina for weeks. But how it is all worth it for your child💙💚

My c section that I would have tremors and trouble breathing and puke a lot. And about newborns was the clogged tear duct and baby acne

The contractions after birth. Not cool lol

episiotomy stitches pain hot

how much it hurt when the nurse presses on your stomach after the baby. Hemorrhoids, first poop was huge! that I needed diapers in my bra because these little breast pads wasn't working LOL

I'm really grumpy that I didn't know it was really common to have gallbladder problems. all of my nurses were like "been having issues" me "no, never but I did just have a baby" them "oh hmm yup that'll do it" what..what no one said anything to me to keep an eye out for it.

@lun2016 Training your baby to go to sleep on a schedule. Otherwise, you'll have a horrible life!

@preggie_usa, they don't tell you about the massive migraine that lasts two weeks from the epidural!!

Mine was very easy. Only 4 hours and 15 minutes of pushing. But no one tells you how hard the first night with a new born is. And no one tells you that you still have contractions after you give birth during the healing process

back labor!! 😭😭

I actually thought it was easier than what people described. Labor sucked, but my delivery was only 15 mins and I was up walking and showering just a couple hours after delivery

The determination to get that baby out is unequivocal

Recovery, both natural and c section!!! It was rough for me with first baby and I had so many questions.

how much hair i would loose after 😮. but it grows back 😃

what's sleep training @junesmommy15

Nobody told me about sleep training. They said contractions felt like bad period cramps. Lie!!

My recovery time! I heard people couldn't walk after labor. I was up and moving around 2 hours after I gave birth. Lol the only thing that sucks is the inability to poop.

That not all babies cry after they have been born all three of my kids didn't cry at all once they put them on my chest all three just stared at me until the nurse took them away and took blood from them then they cried

How fast i recovered!!! All i heard was terrifying stories about the delivery n pain.. But it was AMAZING all NATURAL AND JUST went by fast n smooth 😊😊

you may not always feel the pain on your back....you might feel it in your bum and it will feel like you have to take a 💩💩 and you'll want to push but try not too until the doctors says too!! lol

no one told me how much it would hurt to poop after !!!!💩💩💩😭😳😳😳😷

The pain. Hemmeroids. Recovery. The first 💩 after delivery. Did I mention the pain?
