I thought I was very well prepared when I went into labour with my first baby, but postpartum still surprised me in many different ways. It was easier and harder than I thought at the same time. It was exhilarating and depressing at the same time. I thought I'd left all the pain in the labour room, but boy how wrong I was. Here's the 10 things I wish I'd known about postpartum before giving birth.
What's the one thing you wish you'd known about postpartum? Anything surprised you? Or was it all like you expected? Let me know in the comments!
