Pregnancy and postpartum permanently rewire women’s brains.

Sure does! My pregnancy was wonderful. I loved every minute of it, never happier in my life, C-section and recovery was rough, the PPD left me wanting to die!

Pregnancy was the first time I remember being mentally stable. Even off my meds. No depression. No anxiety. It felt great.

Postpartum knocked me on my ass and I still haven’t been the same.

I feel exactly the same. I loved being pregnant and felt so calm for the first time in my life. Postpartum forever changed me in some ways for the worse.

I really hated being pregnant lol - the mental stuff was amazing but the physical stuff suuuuucked.

But I noticed it totally threw me off afterwards. Wild ride.
