I was on the pill for probably 10 years before my first baby, and I was a 28-day cycle, easy, never thought about my period. You know, it was like a three-day cycle, so, you know, nothing was impeded, nothing was like problematic. Life was the same.
Since having a baby, I now understand when women are like, I hate my period, it's so bad, it's so much work, it's so much mess, because if this, and look, I don't know how many years I have, and if I have another baby and it gets worse, it's like another 15, 20 years of my life looking at this and going, how could I do this every month, you know?
I really miss my pre-baby periods. Like, they were easy and they were nice and they were perfect and they were like, oh, like I didn't even know what to be grateful for until it was gone and now, like I never got pain, like I never got cramps before and now, I am like, every month, really bad PMS and then also really bad cramping and flow like you wouldn't, like as if I'm still getting rid of my uterine lighting two years later after having a kid.
It's so crazy to me how much pregnancy changes something. Yeah, it's an interesting thing all the hormonal cycle changes that we really don't take it in consideration.
