I had such a rough time being pregnant. My 7 year relationship was falling apart, my body was changing, I felt trapped, my bro in law suffered a life changing injury, I was scared, I didn't feel maternal & I just didn't know what to expect...
I had watched One Born Every Minute countless of times, planning my birth, planning my child's leaving outfit etc. I felt like I knew it all. Boy was I wrong! I think the after math of birth isn't spoken about enough, as a first time Mum I felt completely lost.
I didn't know that after birth (from the moment you get up from your bed) you would still bleed for up to 6 weeks where the placenta has come away from the womb, it's called Lochia and I remember looking at the midwife exhausted and deflated.
