Oh there are SO many unflattering stories I could tell. Pregnancy and birth is not a glam time for me at least! #triballove
ReplyDeleteI definitely wasn't prepared for the postpartum 'down periods', baby blues or whatever you want to call them, but I've come to realise just because some days it gets you down, it doesn't mean your a bad mum #KCACOLS
ReplyDeleteIt is always funny how much people sugar coat what having a new born is like. I try really hard not to do this because I think its important to get a glimpse as to what is like. #KCACOLS #TribalLove
ReplyDeleteOh yes definitely lots of untold stories. They're told but not in all the littlest of details! I hear you on the stretch marks, my special stripes! Thanks for linking to #abrandnewday
ReplyDeleteOh, so true - I thought something must be wrong when Marianna was really little because everyone had kept going on about the wonderful newborn baby smell, and how how lovely it was. ...But except for those few lovely moments post-bath, Marianna's default smell was just a faint mix of wee and sick. Lol. x #KCACOLS
ReplyDeletePregnancy and parenting can be a rough old gig but happily we do it! We all have out horror stories I suppose :) #KCACOLS
ReplyDeleteSometimes those are the best stories and the most wonderful memories. Thanks for sharing! #KCACOLS
ReplyDeleteI have three kids and my youngest is about to turn three. Sometimes I get that baby itch and just remind myself of the not so sweet things about having a baby. Thanks for adding this to the SEASONAL BLOG HOP JOY!~*
ReplyDeleteGreat post. Really enjoyed reading it!
ReplyDeleteAh, yes, the stories do tend to be sugar coated! But then I think everyone reaches the point where pregnant women are asking them questions & realise it is a real dilemma how much accuracy you should provide! #stayclassymama
ReplyDeleteThose stories are always sugar coated! Tell it how it is and own it! #FridayFrolics
ReplyDeleteYep - after four babies including twins I could (and maybe will) write an entire book on the scary realities. I swear the sugar coating threw my straight into depression after number one. Totally unprepared!
