Everyone I’ve talked to has terrified me with their postpartum stories. Please please give me something a bit more encouraging 😅 33w + 99th percentile baby, no GD
I’d like some perspective from those who had what they would call typical postpartum recoveries from Labor and Delivery. I totally understand trauma and really bad things can happen, but what is the true norm? I can’t tell what level of challenging is typical for postpartum (bowel movements/urination hurts from tears for how long, for example?) or other challenges to expect from a more middle-ground experience.
I feel like online it’s easy to hear the worst of the worst (which is valid and I’m happy people have support of course!) - but coming from an anxious FTM, what should I truly expect???
