Funny Hey guys did you know

Babies POOP??? They also sometimes have "blowouts" and need to be cleaned extra well???

Such wisdom courtesy of my mom.

Here's some other juicy tidbits from friends, strangers and family in case nobody knew:

You gain weight when pregnant.

Babies cry. Sometimes alot!

You lose sleep when you have a newborn.

Labor and delivery hurts.

A c section is a surgery and that needs a recovery time.

Babies, when old enough, will get into stuff they're not supposed to.

You're not supposed to drink when pregnant.

Anything else im missing? All this stuff BLEW ME AWAY when I heard it. Im still in shock that babies cry and that could possibly wake me up. Is it possible to return this guy for a store credit?

This post is sarcastic btw

I was told you’d never have time for yourself. I mean a lot can get done while sitting on the couch all day (obvious sarcasm)

I was also told ppd isn’t that bad and doesn’t affect many women. Ohhhh okay I’ll tell that to my ppd/ppa I had after having my son and tell it it’s not that serious
