Apparently, thats common, and it sure wasnt inWhat to Expect When You’re Expecting."
People started sharing the side effects they experienced postpartum, and I was wildly surprised.
Here’s what they had to share:
1.
“Major hormone stuff afterward.
Feelings and changes in your body youve never experienced for the first year after.
If you have an underlying mental illness or autoimmune condition…buckle up, girl.”

“After the birth, I started trembling because all my hormones were out of wack.
That really scared me until the nurse told me it was normal.”
