No one ever told me...! Pt.1
No one ever told me:
After you deliver your baby, you will
Experience contractions that are essentially shrinking your uterus down its pre baby size.
THESE ARE SUPER PAINFUL
they feel exactly like transitioning labor IMO. And if you take the pain killers you can get super constipated making another huge problem (I actually asked my partner to get on a pair of rubber gloves and grab a garbage bag because there was no way I could shit a softball! It didn't come to this but I was preparing myself) 😱💀Needless to say I do not recommend the painkillers!
Tips: treat this like the worst period of your life, hot tea and a warm water bottle go a long way, light (and I mean LIGHT) exercise walking outside for 10 minutes, aromatherapy, warm shower, and slow meditative breathing. All of this helps, #1 tip try and prepare yourself with a nursing pillow incase the pain gets really severe while you're nursing because I nearly dropped my baby with one of these! 😉
