Three kids. I have three wonderful beautiful children whom I would give the world to. But I’ll tell you after each was born, I was not feeling so charitable. I was achy and blah and just wanted to get back home and out of the hospital. Not to mention there are a few things they neglect to tell you after your darling children are born. You know. THOSE things.
This is sponsored content written by me in partnership with Depend®. All opinions are my own.
Before I begin my list I just want to say this is my experience with childbirth and pregnancy. Everyone is different. This is meant to be a humorous look at life.
The water weight won’t instantly disappear.
I was so swollen throughout all of my pregnancies but it was my third that was the worst. I had Gestational Diabetes and I retained a lot of water. Boy, my feet were so swollen. And I could feel the squelch every time I walked. Blech. It seriously took a good month for them to finally look like something other than sausages.
Hemmoroids.
You’ll still have them after the baby is born but now there’s room in your stomach so hopefully they won’t keep coming back. Or you won’t need to have the doctor remove them. Yeah. Enough said.
Your boobs will leak.
If you’re breastfeeding. You’ll leak. If you’re not breastfeeding. You’ll leak. Hear your baby cry? Chances are you’ll leak. Hear a stranger’s baby cry? That’s fair game for leaking too.
Your eyes will leak too!
Now this will happen all throughout pregnancy. But it also happens afterward and it’s NORMAL. I was a hot mess and it was okay. I’m STILL a hot mess and it’s STILL okay!
And last but not least your bladder will leak!
Yes. It’s true. Even years later. Almost 10 to be exact and it still happens. Sneeze at the grocery store? Cough at the doctor? Laugh at the romantic comedy your husband took you to on date night? Seriously. You know what I wore after each precious baby was born? Depends. It’s true. Nearly 65 million Americans experience bladder leakage in one form or another, but bladder leakage doesn’t have to get in the way of living a confident, uninterrupted life.
