1) stomach muscles are entirely WRECKED after being pregnant. I'm literally holding my tummy to keep things in place whenever I cough/laugh/ or sneeze!

2) leaning WAY forward when you pee if you have stitches is more effective than the peri bottle at keeping it from stinging.

3) night sweats STINK! I don't think I ever got them with Grace - I was making enough milk to ward them off, but I'm already having a hormone crash with Charlotte - not fun. I started leaving a spare set of jammies out so I can change when I wake up soaking wet. lovely!

I am thinking about getting a support belt for after I have the baby, but I don't want to pay top $$ for the belly bandit.

I have been having night sweats for a couple of weeks and I haven't even delivered yet. They were even worse when I had my dd. And I had oversupply issues and tons of spraying with her. Fun!!

Oh, Julia!!! You poor thing! I live in control top panties and bike shorts for at least 6 weeks after. This time, I broke down and bought a belly bandit. Also, slept on a towel for the first two weeks, those sweats are gross!

Reminded me about our previous thread:

Maybe we need a sticky??

mkksmom - hmm, how interesting, I wonder how come I didn't get them with Grace, but did with my other two. Funny how even the recovery can be different, yk?

Don't feel bad, cymbeline

I'm still just glad NOT to be pregnant anymore. Sleeping on my stomach is HEAVEN!

DH just ordered the belly bandit for me today because I hate that 'my insides are falling out feeling' I get after giving birth. My mw used it with her last baby (he is a few months old) and she said it helped with afterpains too, I really hope it does!!

Oh the sweating!! Why is pregnancy and post partum so freakin' glamorous????

Sorry mama!!
