I feel this in my soul. Everything about pregnancy, childbirth, and post partum life just sounds terrifying.

Oh, I may experience wild hormonal swings that make me feel crazy? Cool.

I may lose teeth because of increased gingivitis and my body prioritizing nutrition to the fetus? Awesome.

I may wind up with one combo vagina/rectum after giving birth, instead of two separate holes? Fantastic.

I will probably always pee myself a little when I run, laugh, or sneeze? Wonderful.

I won’t be able to take lots of important medication for the TWO YEARS that pediatricians recommend nursing? Great.

There’s a non-trivial risk that I will literally die while giving birth? Just peachy.

I won’t be able to eat deli meat, sushi, large fish, coffee, or alcohol for a year minimum. Delightful.

I’ll probably barf my guts out for seven weeks? Glorious.

I’ll spontaneously leak milk from my boobs if I hear a baby crying? Marvelous.

I might get an yeast infection on my nipples from breastfeeding my baby? Magnificent.
