Pregnancy is rough.

Probably it’s to prepare you for the beat down motherhood puts on you.

While everyone’s experience is different, there are few women who will tell you that motherhood wasn’t one of the most emotionally, mentally, and physically challenging things they have faced in life.

It consumes you at times. It overwhelms you at others. It’s confusing and confounding and a bunch of other words that my mom brain is too tired to think of right now.

And also, it’s unpredictable.

For example, one never knows precisely how one’s body is going to react to pregnancy or how it will behave postpartum.

And, in case no one has mentioned it to you yet, it could be a hot mess.
