People started sharing the side effects they experienced after giving birth, and I was extremely surprised. Here’s what they had to share:
1.
“Major hormonal stuff afterward. Feelings and changes in your body that you never felt in the first year afterward. If you have an underlying mental illness or illness autoimmune…buckle up, girl.”
—u/meningo8
2.
“After giving birth, I started shaking because all my hormones were out of whack. It really scared me until the nurse told me it was normal.”
—u/Dismal_mood
3.
“The very first time I stood up after giving birth, all my insides went ‘SLOOSH’ back into place.”
—u/danawc76
4.
“I would have loved to have been informed about the likelihood and treatment of hemorrhoids before I had a whole new human to keep alive.”
—u/kazuwacky
5.
“Broken tailbones. Apparently this is common, and it certainly wasn’t in What to expect when you’re expecting.“
—u/dellaevaine
7.
“A friend of mine had a baby. She was perfectly healthy before the birth. After the birth, she got diabetes. Apparently that’s a thing that can happen.”
—u/Ratfor
8.
“Your feet may grow during pregnancy and may never return to that size after giving birth.”
—u/AutoimmuneToYou
9.
“If you tear during childbirth, you’ll feel like you’re pissing acid for weeks. Somehow, I tore my labia having my first child, and I can’t can’t even describe the pain when I pee afterwards for weeks.”
—u/Icy_Session3326
ten.
“My wife’s hormonal changes have rid her of her frequent migraines. She’s had them her whole life, and she hasn’t really had one in five years since our first was born.”
—u/KiloPro0202
11.
“You could then suffer from urinary incontinence for two years.”
—u/Curlygirl34
12.
“Gum or tooth problems are possible. Many insurances cover additional cleaning during pregnancy. You should check with your insurance policy and take advantage of this if you can.”
—u/marseneau14
13.
“You might feel like you were dying during your first bowel movement afterward. It felt like my entire pelvic floor was going to separate from my body and leave me forever.”
—u/SolitudeStands
14.
“I no longer had seasonal allergies or debilitating stomach pains after stressful periods. I don’t know if that’s a thing for other people’s pregnancies, but it was a nice little perk for me. “
—u/caniwalkyourdog
15.
And finally, “Sprained wrists and ankles are very common. Toward the end of pregnancy, your body produces a hormone called relaxin that allows your ligaments and tendons to stretch more so that your hip bones can move to allow the baby to pass through.”
