Gross things that happen after you give birth:
1. The first poop is scary. Take the stool softener they offer you. Breathe, don't push.
2. Night sweats. You will wake up soaked for a week or two. Sleep on a towel.
3. You bleed for weeks, even after a C-section. The mesh underwear is your friend.
4. Everything swells. Ice pads look strange and feel amazing.
5. Sitting hurts. A donut pillow or a rolled towel on each side helps a lot.
6. Peeing can sting. Use the peri bottle every single time.
7. When your milk comes in you may leak through your shirt and the sheets.
8. Your hair falls out in handfuls around month three. It grows back.
9. Afterpains. Your uterus cramps while you feed, and it is worse with baby
10. You might cry at nothing on day three or four. That is the hormone drop.
Your parents won’t see you grow old.
Your partner never knew you as a child.
Your kids will barely remember you young.
Even your closest friends only know parts of your story.
You’re the only one who lives every chapter.
Be kinder to the person who’s been there through it all.
You.
"A pastor said something today that really hit me: you have to learn how to be at peace in the place you're in, even when it's not the place you prayed for, until God leads you into the next one."
Can someone who lives in the kansas area please forward this to the authorities, i don't know what I'm able to do from Norway but this person randomly said this in my twitch chat and didnt comment further. RTs appreciated as I really need someone from kansas to see this.
It’s really a blessing when you sit and think about it… being able to afford eat good, pay your bills, and wake up to a body that actually works. Legs that move, eyes that see, a mind that’s still sharp, and the strength to get up and go every day. That’s not something to take lightly. A lot of people are praying for what feels normal to you, so appreciate it while you have it.

Underrated life advice: Give yourself credit. You’re doing better than you think. You’ve made it through things that once felt impossible. You’ve grown in ways you once prayed for. You've accomplished goals others said you never would. Take a moment to soak it in.
