What we Didn't Know Would Happen to our Body After Kids

What we didn't know would happen to our body after kids and wish we would've known before becoming pregnant. Real advice from a Mom of 3 here!

This is what we didn't know would happen to our body after kids! Yes the doctors left us in the dark. They didn't even tell us we would have a massive period after we had each child. We was surprised by it all but you don't have to be. Here's what to expect after childbirth and in the years ahead. Get ready!

• Losing your hair. Seriously?!! After daughter #1 our hair got a bit frizzier and we noticed that there was some thinning around our bang area but thought “oh well it will grow back”….yeah, like 8 years later!
• Your feet grow. Seriously?!! Like our size 9.5 boats weren't big enough, now we was a solid 10 after daughter #2 for sure! We had to get rid of all our cute shoes and boots. Not that we didn't enjoy shopping for new shoes but we had NO idea this would happen to our body after kids!

Three – Stretch marks, not on your stomach. Seriously?!! We was ready for a few around our belly button but didn't get any there. They appeared on our hips, like where you can't hide them with a bathing suit…yeah, there. Not cool!

• C Section scar. Seriously?!! Ok so daughter #1 had to be C Section and we was picturing the thin line like you see in the brochure….you know the drawn woman on the pamphlet with the pencil thin line waaaaaaay down where nobody would see it. Uh uh. Apparently we get keloid scars which means they are thick and ugly and oh yeah the doctor didn't cut straight so the scar goes down and then across which makes a pucker in our stomach where he cut going down….thanks doc!
• Hemorrhoidsyes those! Seriously?!! We had only heard about “them” before getting pregnant and thought you use ointment, it goes away, and never comes back…..NOOOOO that's not true. We're talking as big as a cumquat, not able to sit down, have to stay in bed laying on your side kinda' hemorrhoid pain going on while pregnant and they are there after the baby…..like a reminder or something of “remember when you were pregnant”, nope, not told about those babies.

• Bladder leakageyep, let's talk about that! So whether you have a natural birth or are lucky enough to be cut open 3 times “down there” is not the same…..ever! It's not like you need a diaper like your toddler or anything, but beware of the trampoline jumping and volatile sneezing. Go ahead, laugh….but wait.

Advice – Don't let any of this stop you! Seriously!! After 3 kids, stretch marks, hair loss, big feet, and a bit of bladder leakage it doesn't stop us from getting out there and enjoying our family!

• There's a solution for about everything that happens to us. Your kids won't care about any of it either. get out there and make those memories!
