Parenting has a bunch to it, and even if you read up on it as much as you can, you’re never going to be prepared for all of it. This is especially true of pregnancy, and the time it takes to recover from it — and especially what it takes to recover from it. Are you a pregnant woman? You need to read ” Nobody told me about these side effects of postpartum recovery” — an article full of details that just might help you prepare for your child’s birth.

Key Takeaways:

• I’m not here to tell you some amazing story of how I never experienced a rough day while pregnant, because that wouldn’t be true.
• I suffered from awful heartburn every day, got horrible headaches throughout the entire first trimester, and I cried from pain anytime I walked the entire last month.
• Once my due date came and passed, I was convinced I was doomed to stay pregnant and suffer an awful fate for the rest of my life.

“Once I went in labor, my life changed. My seemingly “easy” pregnancy seemed like a cruel joke that made me think I lucked out and had it better than everyone else.”
