What postpartum symptoms surprised you the most?

The extreme exhaustion surprised me the most. I expected to be tired, but I didn’t realize how constant and intense it would be.

I was surprised by the emotional changes. Mood swings, anxiety, and moments of sadness were stronger than I anticipated.

Postpartum hair loss was unexpected for me. I didn’t realize it was so common after giving birth.

Physical recovery took longer than I expected. The soreness and discomfort lasted weeks, not days.

I was most surprised by how overwhelming the adjustment felt—physically, emotionally, and mentally all at once.
