Why Didn't Anybody Tell Me: Wispy Hair
I lived for the luxe locks I sported during and immediately after my pregnancies. I paraded around like a supermodel, tossing my hair from side to side as if everyone in the world were mesmerized by my thick, shiny strands that seemed to grow by the second.

Why Didn't Anybody Tell Me: Shakes During Delivery
There are a lot of things about birth that a mama-to-be doesn't realize until she enters the delivery room. An itchy epidural, relieving the bowels on the table and tearing to name a few.

Why Didn't Anybody Tell Me: Smells Like Maple Syrup
Many breastfeeding mommas opt for reinforcement in hopes of keeping the good stuff flowing and I was no exception. I started taking the herbs Fenugreek and Blessed Thistle when I noticed my milk supply was dwindling. My child's pediatrician spoke very highly of the natural remedy, and while it did work like a charm, she forgot to mention one side effect that I would've liked to know.
Which Body Part Changed Most Postpartum?
The human body is an amazing work of art, especially the female form that can stretch and shrink with the birth of a child.
