I seriously hate them now.
Well, wait. That implies I may have liked them before, which was NEVER the case.
But now? Yuck.
No one ever told me—not even the pregnancy books that claimed to tell you everything no one ever told you—that post-childbirth periods tends to be WORSE than you had them before.

SURPRISE!
❗
So, add the surprise of actually getting my period again (because I was breastfeeding/pumping, I was thinking I wouldn’t get it for some time longer) to the surprise of how VASTLY different (i.e. read: heavier and messier) it is, and well, it’s just a big YUCKFEST. Worse than the post-childbirth bleeding, almost!
If there was any way to avoid this part of being a woman, I certainly would.
