No, no, no way - don't use the giant pads. Please trust me on this. Get adult diapers. Thank me later. Also, get an upside down period bottle, it's *infinitely* better than what the hospital gives you.
Also, that "1 pad per hour or less" thing is VERY important, please, please remember that. Me learning that from a YouTube video literally saved my life. Being induced with Pitocin made me hemorrhage 6 hours after delivery - I lost about 2 liters of blood overall, in less than an hours that's after the nurses started paying attention, too. I told the nurse I was cleaning WAY too much. She looked in the toilet, said "no that's normal, you're fine." And because I had seen videos like these, I knew, & told her, no, I've used 4 adult diapers in the last few minutes. Her face went white & she RAN out to call the doctor, who came sprinting in. If I hadn't known that, I would have lost a lot more blood, & who knows if they'd have gotten to it fast enough that way. I was starting to have that horrible feeling you get when you're bleeding out & about to lose consciousness, my vision was tunneling, it was very scary.
Thank God for YouTube, at least when it comes to stuff like this.

You think "oh cool, I won't have my period for almost a year" but then you realize that it's all just built up while you were pregnant and when you give birth, your body rewards you with a mega period :3

This is why new Mom’s need support and help.

My bleeding lasted 8 weeks 😬 but my husband also had a massive stroke and was in a coma 5 days after I gave birth. Then 7 days after he woke up and my life flipped upside down. So after 8 weeks of bleeding, a week later my period started. I never gave myself time to heal cause I was drive 4 hours a day to go see my husband in an ICU room, taking care of my child, and dealing with everything he was taking care of. However. You will be surprised how strong of a person someone can be when the job is handed to them. I had no family that lived close by. All were states away. And they were only able to help for a couple months before needing to get back to their own lives. Woman can be so strong, and men were already strong, most woman just don’t realize it.

Maybe if they taught this in sex ed, we'd have less people who have no idea about what goes on.😂

SIX WEEKS???!!! Fist time mom here, and also the first time I hear how much it lasts. Sweet Jesus, thank you for this video. I would've been scared as hell if the moment came and I didn't know this information

[KeriCougar]

When I was pregnant with my first baby, a lady gave me a big box of those giant pads as a baby shower gift. I was confused and she said to me, "You'll thank me later." After I had my baby, those pads were a blessing. Best baby shower gift ever!

[Sheriden.]

Wow I’m 26 and didn’t even know this. They really need to teach us about our bodies more.

[PEDRO_PEDRO_PEDRO__PEDRO_P]

I'm never having kids this is actually terrifying I'm shivering my timbers rn😭🙏 like hats off to all mothers out there how do y'all do it, I could literally NEVER🛐

[chasingpirates]

I was astonished at how much happened after labor that I was never made aware of.

Me learning all these (often scary or gross) things about pregnancy and birth makes me feel so informed and grateful. I want to be a mom, and it's important to know what to expect to be safe and advocate for myself because doctors see so much all day they might miss something or won't listen.

[trenae]

I laugh at everyone saying this is the best birth control, but really - THANK YOU to whomever posts information like this!! New Moms and expectant Moms are going through so much hormonal change and emotional ranges that they don’t always think to ask all the randoms.

[vofv]

Someone should do a video about ALLthe gross and painful (yet very normal) things that come after giving birth.

5 weeks post partum and still spotting a little bit. I notice on the days I’m more active, especially if I lift a lot that day, the spotting increases. Take resting seriously! Even if you think you’re fine, your body is still healing if you can’t see it.

I had leftover placental tissues, if you have a flow that keeps getting interrupted, painful cramping, fevers, shaking or a bad smell (smells sickly sweet, like honey and roadkill) then rush your butt to an er. It can be an infection that could kill you if left untreated.

When I first heard that they make a small cut in the vagina to help push the baby out, then I have heard about bleeding post birth, the intense labour pain, the 2 to 3 years of sleepless nights till baby sleeps through the night, I am intensely happy to remain Childfree. Mothers are really Warriors who go through so much to bring a life into this world and good parents are truly a different breed of people who can give so much to help sustain and thrive a child successfully.
P.s: Thank you to all those in the comments who told me what that cut is called - episiotomy. I never knew the name till now. 😊
P.s.s: I just now read in the comments of another short on babies and mom's where mother after mother narrated their sleep deprivation times after the baby. So to all mothers out there you are doing great things I would never even think of doing. EVER. You rock. But for me, thanks but No. 😊🙌

Mad respect to anyone who goes through this shit, even hearing about it makes me feel a kind of primal fear i didnt know i had loll

[Swtcrm]

I am a 13 year old girl and I just want to say good luck to all the moms going through this!

Holy I'm more scared each time I learn something new. Now that I'm actually pregnant I'm terrified of giving birth. Definitely worth knowing but i wish I didn't have to know that 😅
