need help finding the post about what no one tells you about pregnancy

Does anyone have a link to that post that was like, the things no one will tell you about pregnancy and what it's like after delivering? 

My super annoying cw thinks my 12 weeks maternity leave are going to be some kind of vacation, so I'd really like to pull some excerpts from that and email it to him. We have a brother/sister type relationship full of sarcasm, but he's just driving me crazy with this "vacation" time I'm taking...

  • I remember reading that post!  I wish maternity leave was more like a vacation!

  • Is there one that focuses more on what happens post partum? I think that stuff sounds waaaay worse than some of the PG stuff here.

  • I'm laughing at how all the people in that thread who said (3 years ago) oh no i'm never going to get pregnant now! all have pictures of babies and toddlers in their siggys now.
  • thanks, Tara! 

    and yes, Leah! It's hilarious to see the siggys years later!

  • Big talkers for women with ticking clocks, weren't they.

    Yeah... at 3 months things were still not at all sane around here. He was still up 5-6 times a night and nursing every 2 hours around the clock. I'm not saying Violet will do that--a lot of people on my month board had perfect babies that perfectly STTN after 6 weeks and perfectly put themselves on a perfect 3-hour feeding schedule. But I'm not bitter ;D

    Is he under the impression that the baby will be sleeping 20 hours a day while you get pedicures and catch up on the final season of Oprah? Because PSHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH

    I believe I yelled at him "I'm not taking a freaking trip to Hawaii!" So something alone those lines, lol.

  • Nevermind that YOU will have just had the most epic experience of your life. I tell ya, if men had to birth babies, not only would maternity leave be longer, they'd never work again because they'd say creating life excuses them.

    LOL DP!  I am under the impression that if men had to deliver babies the human race would altogether die off.  And I am SO jealous of my bumpie buds that have BF babies sleeping through the night.  Still waking up a few times a night and officially up by 7am.  Then he sleeps at 9 or 10 and I am unable to retun to sleep by then. 

    BTW, I have been off since March 21 and I go back Aug 2nd.  Being off has been great, but by no means has it been a "vacation."

  • Mention recovering from a possible tear or episiotomy, that hushes most men.
  • Mine didn't sleep 5 hours in a row til 18 months..... it was no vacation, I assure you.   If you really need him to STFU, I will share stories of fist sized clots 2 weeks PP. I thought my uterus was prolapsed or something.
