 What are some things that no one ever told you that becoming a Mommy would do to you? 
For example---
  I knew that my body would change- I knew that I could probably get the weight off. But I didn't know that post baby that my pre baby clothes still may not fit right because my body had changed.

 Re: What are some things that no one ever told you that becoming a Mommy would do to you? 
I never knew just how many stretch marks one body could hold       
  I didn't know my boobs would get so saggy even though I am so young       
  Believe it or not NO ONE told me sex after the baby was born would hurt like mother f'er. I actually cried       
  This is something they told me but I never could understand... the unconditional love for your child no matter what

 Re: What are some things that no one ever told you that becoming a Mommy would do to you? 
What is was like to have an episotomy (sp?)! You can't laugh, cough or sit down quickly because you feel like you might break a suture!
  And the butt problems as mention before. Unfortnately, many women suffer from hemmorrids during pregnancy and especially during the "pushing" for a vaginal delievery. One word HORRIBLE!!!

I was never told that you can get stretch marks from deflating.  I had 2 stretch marks my entire PG.  Now that my baby is out i noticed that i am getting more of them on my inner thighs and hips.

I never knew that your boobs change the way the do.  I mean I knew they changed but without getting too descriptive, I didn't know that it was something that you could tell the difference between a woman who has had kids and one who hasn't just by looking at them naked.

 Re: What are some things that no one ever told you that becoming a Mommy would do to you? 
No one ever told  me  that post partum can be so bad.  I had it but  not that I wouldn't  hold  the baby or  anything  but that I would  cry  on  the drop of  a dime  I would have  mood swings and just wanted to be left alone

 Re: What are some things that no one ever told you that becoming a Mommy would do to you? 
no one ever told me that i would cry over "poopie".  the first time he went and i changed his diaper in the hospital (the mecomium,spelling) i was so proud of him.  like what he had done!  i know weird.
  no one ever told me someone would love to hear me sing!  i have a horrible voice.

  This was an email that went around awhile ago that explains to a tee what no one told me...how nothing in my life would ever be the same and how I wouldn't change it for anything in the world.  
 
  
 
  That was the most beautiful thing I have ever read.  Thank you so much for posting this.
