Was there anything you weren't ready for during postpartum??

A big Amen to the breast engorgement. I was still at the hospital when it peeked at its worse. I remember asking the nurse, in tears, and with terror in my voice, is this normal??? This can’t be normal!! There must be something wrong. I must have a blockage of some sort and they’re infected. I couldn’t fathom that ‘breast engorgement’ was what I was experiencing because I thought it just meant your tits would be big and hard. The pain part was never included in my idea of engorgement. No one told me it would be super super painful also. I was so worked up about it and scared and anxious and freaked out over that one. That’s the thing with being PP You never know when your emotions will send you off the deep end. Or what incident will do it. Frankly, I hated almost every moment of infancy. I was a wreck. Being a first time mom is no joke. Everything and every bit of it was hard for me. It’s all just a blur in my memory. I had a hard time bonding with my baby at first and that was my biggest hurdle to overcome. The shame from those feelings are really scary. It all felt out of body. My baby is almost 3 now and we’re like peas and carrots. ❤ We finally came together. To all new moms out there, Keep on keepin on!

Oh geez I’m so sorry that was your experience!! I definitely had no idea that my breasts would get engorged at all when my milk came in so I also was shocked. There’s definitely nothing to feel shame for though. Being a new parent is tough on your body and mind without a doubt! I’ve heard lots of people say that 0 to 1 kids is harder than 1 to 2 or more. I’m so happy you found your groove and love your words of encouragement to others 🤍🤍
