Sure if you want to look at it like that 😂

She wasn't totally lying to you. The muscles to poop is also used to push a baby out. It is not uncommon that when a baby is pushed out a poop is also pushed out. 😅

Thank you! ❤😊 I call her my greatest collaboration 😆

Yea, dad tries his best! He has become an expert swaddler, burper, and diaper changer. And found out she likes to be held like a football! But sometimes she is inconsolable and that's the toughest time 😣 Thank you! I appreciate it, and will likely reach out! Are nostr DMS OK? ❤

I have been trying to! When I get a chance to write. I think that happens as a survival mechanism. If it was hard we forget just how hard so we are likely to do it again. https://www.thebump.com/a/forgetting-labor-delivery-pain Like I always choose economy on flights and immediately regret it after because "it wasn't that bad last time" 😂 yes it was!

Thank you! We've already had some scares and stinks. 😅 It made me appreciate her all the more 💜

Thanks for the insight. Its such a big learning curve. Its reassuring to hear all of this. I think I still need to figure out how to make time for myself. Baby still doesn't want to be away from me for long, so I only manage to do simple things like brush my teeth or shower in the times that baby allows dad or grandma to hold her. 😅 I am slowly figuring things out.

Wow! How do you do it? And how do you know you're doing a good job? Or at least an OK job? 😅

I honestly forgot I was pregnant until month 7. That's when I started to show. Your body does a good job of protecting baby if everything is in order. It was a little weird when baby started kicking, but it became a kind of game 😂 I would poke back.

Aw thank you!! ❤ it has definitely be challenging. Putting me to the test. It is crazy. I still can't believe I have a baby. That she cane out of me. 😳 Correct me if I'm wrong, but you have little ones right? I have a question for you.

Thanks! I'm feeling good! Like I didn't just push an entire human being out of me 😂 I had like no tearing. So I was very fortunate. I feel like the pregnancy and birth were the easy part. Being in charge of a little human bean is a doozy!! Is there anything you wanted to know in particular?

Thank you!! 😊

Interesting! I thought my pregnancy was super easy. The birth was a bit harder but way smoother than anyone I know who's given birth in a hospital. Why are you more scared of pregnancy?

Nice! Does your mom talk about her experience at all? I will probably make another post once I've gathered all my thoughts on the experience😊
