So, I'm a ftm & I feel like all I hear from other moms is all the negatives about pregnancy & birth. I think most women go into pregnancy expecting all these bad things to happen: the sickness, pain, discomfort, etc. So, idk why everyone feels the need to stress all those bad things! And then they always say "oh but it's all worth it as soon as you hold your baby." Well, I'm sure that's true, but can't we have a glimmer of hope that maybe this won't be the most horrifying experience before that happens?! Lol
So, to all the moms out there, can you enlighten us FTMs with some positive things that happened that you didn't expect? Or maybe something you thought was going to be awful, but wasn't as bad as you expected?
Thanks in advance!! ☺️
