Selena :
I'm 3 months postpartum and fighting ppd with no meds , just support from friends and family. Pregnancy is hard , best way I can put it is imagine you're entire body being changed , of course the pain of growing a baby , the fear of something happening to you or the baby 24/7 , then to top it most women, me included have a hard time watching our bodies change and resent ourselves, nothing fits , you feel useless ,trying to regulate your feelings is hard also left out quite a bit js . Now let's talk about labor .... you have a chance of dying , your meds can stop working in the middle of labor , or you can go natural and have you ever felt like every bone in ur body is being broken at once? How about pushing out a baby through a hole that is the size of a bagel round 🤔 and then tearing down to your butt ? Let's also mention labor can go from hrs to days , with contractions that are so painful your body locks up and shocker you still have them after for 2-3 days . Postpartum.... we are still in pain we can barely move (even worse if u have a c section) , we are expected to be up all night with a baby , our boobs hurt and are cracked,sometimes bleeding (bottle still ain't easy sleep deprived). Our bodies are bleeding for almost a month or 2 depending on how bad it was . Our bodies are bloated , we've gained weight , have extra skin and stretchmarks... we resent our bodies sometimes,our hormones are raging so bad because they are unbalanced. We are supposed to manage a baby , ourselves, the home, other kids, daily activities and still try to keep it together sleep deprived, mixed feelings , and while in pain and trying take care of urself in the process also. Mind you babies are dependent on mom 24/7, they don't sleep through the night till almost 4-5 months , you have appointments constantly till 1 year of age , your body isn't actually healed till 2-3 yrs later mind you , you have a hole (wound) inside you the side of a dinner plate. To top it "most" don't help , are rude , cheat , or belittle you 🤗 but it's supposed to be sunshine and rainbows
