What's one thing you wish someone had told you about the fourth trimester? Let's share for the moms still pregnant
I spent my whole pregnancy reading books, taking classes, and thinking I was prepared. Then I had my baby and realized there was SO much nobody told me. Not to scare anyone — just to make sure you have the info I didn't.
I'm putting together some notes for a friend who's due in a few months, and I want to give her the real scoop — not the breezy "rest when the baby rests" stuff.
What's ONE thing you wish someone had told you about the early postpartum period?
For me, it was the night sweats. I woke up drenched every night for two weeks and genuinely thought something was wrong. Nobody told me my body was just shedding pregnancy fluid!
Also: the hair loss at 4 months. Clumps. Everywhere.
Let's hear yours — I want to make sure she goes in with eyes wide open.
