I just got my first period since giving birth I'm 8 months PP, what should I expect? Super anxious as I've read some crazy things.

So I have been counting in weeks. All seemed fine until I post a “happy 6 mo” for my baby and got attacked by some moms who had their babies before me talking about how im wrong and he is not 6 months yet. 🤨Yes I understand using weeks when it comes to a year will hit before his 1st birthday.

Of course, I am still eating as I know baby needs it for growing and to be healthy etc. but I was made to feel guilty that it was...

I’m really struggling cause I have an anterior placenta and I’m 27 weeks and I still do t have a pattern.

I have the cliche; nausea and vomiting, but I also have weird symptoms. Like my hair is falling out… (which I thought pregnancy hormones are supposed to do the opposite?) Also I’m FREEZING! all day. I thought I was supposed to feel hot? Not cold. 😑 I’m over this first trimester already, y’all.

How’s everyone doing? Any tips on how to feel better through the nausea and fatigue?
