After reading some of my posts you may think wow, she likes to write about her bad experiences. No, it’s just I want to inform others of the things no one tells you. I feel like a lot of moms have bad experiences but they tend to not share or warn others about it for fear of scaring or ruining someone’s moment. You have a baby shower and all the women just tell you about how beautiful it’s going to be and how wonderful motherhood is. YES, it’s completely wonderful but with hurdles you have to get over in between. You don’t know how many times I’ve asked friends if they had gone through what I did and they said yes. I would then say “Well why didn’t you warn me??!!” A lot of people feel like they should just talk about the best parts of motherhood and the rest left unspoken. It’s almost taboo. Trust, I love motherhood. I couldn’t imagine life without my little Piglet. BUT, I did go through a lot to get here and there are days where I definitely get tested. I think had I been more informed or given a heads up about some things, in particular my postpartum experience, I would have been better prepared. Society has you thinking that you go in the hospital to have your baby, have an immediate bond, bring baby home and it’s wonderful from there on out. I didn’t have any of those things at all. Immediate bond? No. Wonderful time at home? No. Everyone’s experience is going to be different, no two will be the same. So regardless of what others say, you are going to have your own experience. But be prepared for anything! My reason for blogging my experience is just to give insight on a different experience than what you may have heard or read about. I don’t want to just write about the hearts and flowers, I want to write about the nitty gritty.
