Being permanently covered in either milk, sick or piss

Messy home and rarely any time to clean

I really like my mommy pouch 🙄

If it weren’t for the hair loss, what else would’ve been my catalyst to shave my head so that way in 10-15 years I can tell my kids that I did it?

i love when people offer to hold the baby so that i can do tasks like cleaning the bathroom or making food for everyone

One tit is smaller than the other and I am COMPLETELY fine with it. 🙂

I really enjoy my new found stank

I just couldn’t live without the mood swings and occasional rage.

Oh there's too many to choose from!! I loved wearing the adult sized diaper while my body bled 9 months worth of missed periods. I loved not sleeping and staying up all night. I also love that at almost 12 months postpartum I'm still sweating my tits off for no apparent reason 😬❤️

@Megan ohh you’re right, the unmanageable sweating is so fun!

The night sweats

I fact that I cant just do nothing - like ever

Ooh never having to get out of bed

It’s a toss up between peeing myself anytime there’s a surprise sneeze or unexpected comedic moment, and being so tired that I circle back around to normal. 😀

Feeling like someone took a sledgehammer to my 🐱 ❤️ motherhood is beautiful.. 🙃

For sure my moods 🫠 bless my families’ heart.

Definitely the blow out nappies & the house constantly smelling of; sick, wee & poo! It must be a joy to any visitors nostrils... All come over & smell the farm that I created, oh wait a minute🤔 that's not a farm in my front room, that's what my newbaby created! Then it won't be much different, once potty training is in full swing... 'No don't poo on the carpet beside the potty - poo in the potty!' {True story my eldest actually did this! Inside I was livid but, outwardly 'great effort, you almost made it' 🥳🫢🤣

Love the constant anxiety 🤪

I love the bit where my vagina just ached all the fucking time. Super fun.

Incontinence

My favorite part this time is not having dairy, egg, or soy due to my breastfed baby’s allergies. Who needs cheese anyway? Or chocolate or any Asian food or anything baked or literally anything made with butter or…

Sleep deprivation was my favourite part😍 he’s 15 months now and sleep deprivation ended about 2 weeks ago thanks to sweet sleep training 🥳

Feeling like my insides were going to fall out of me 😂👍🏽 x

Being shit on

Night sweats!

Tell me why my boys where a hour away in the NICU and I still was sleep deprived not sleeping like they where home😂🤦🏻‍♀️

The leaky boobies and wet tee shirt contest I’m in with myself every morning

These are all amazing things! You ladies did not disappoint 😂😂💕

I'm at the point of asking Google if you can die from lack of sleep 😴. I guess I'll sleep when i die lol

I had postpartum chills accompanied by sweats. So awful

I LIVE for sleep deprivation!!! Omg, that feeling when you've finally drifted off to sleep yourself for the 4th time that night only to be brutally woken by more crying? No greater adrenaline rush! The fun of offering the dummy your baby is crying for only for them to spit it out repeatedly? More of that please! Reading advice and testimonials about how effective patting and stroking your baby to sleep is when your baby takes personal offence to that? Fascinating! Doing all of that against the back drop off your husband's snores? Chef's kiss!! (My husband is actually very helpful, just a heavy sleeper!)

@Coco 🤣

@Lara or poo

Waking up thinking you rolled on your baby

i absolutely love my bladder prolapse 🥰 the pelvic floor exercises are sooo fun!!

@Emily ohh yes!!!! The horror😭😭

@Keita I feel this😩

Getting home from the hospital to find out baby won’t sleep in the cot you purchased, only on your chest… so after three days of labour and no sleep you lie awake petrified of moving or closing your eyes in case you roll over and squash your brand new human being that you don’t know how to look after 🙃

Body odor 100% smell awful even right after a shower🥴🙃

Looking 6-7 months pregnant 14 months pp🥴🙄

I didn’t know hair loss was a thing 😂😂 I wondered why one side of my fringe has like completely disappeared!!! Now I know 😭

@MaryKate literally!! on top of that, both times my champagne toast body wash smelled like urine on my skin pp until I stopped lactating 😭

Feeling like a completely different person than you were just a day ago before the baby being born and not recognizing yourself mentally or physically. your relationship dynamic extremely changing because someone lied about how ready and helpful they’d be with YALL child. I love being blindsided into 1000% caretaking.

@Brynne I’ll have to keep that in mind😅 I’m still 14 months in and breastfeeding a lot🥴

I love that I gained almost 50 pounds during pregnancy just for my baby to weigh 7 pounds at birth. And I’ve been told that the weight would just fall off since I’m breastfeeding. It just ain’t happening for me🥺
