Ok-weird. My hips and wrists have just started hurting the past few days for what seems no reason at all

- No one told me that you will be the hungriest you have ever been when breastfeeding, not pregnancy. I had no appetite when I was pregnant and hardly had any room in my belly food.
- SPD pains will take months to resolve. I still have it and am worried that it might be a life long condition.

How dry your skin will be EVERYWHERE.

Maybe this is just me - but that your leg hair just stops growing, completely.

A lot of the things other ladies have mentioned, plus how bad my joints (knees and hips mostly) still ache! I just want to be able to take a walk or squat to pick things up again.

How weird! During prefnancy I got really hairy, especially on my belly and it was dark hair too. Now it's falling out and turning light again.

I thought i'd be feeling completly back to my old self now! I didn't tear but sex still hurts.
I wish someone told me breastfeeding ruins your sex drive.

That my bits would feel like they were falling out for months after birth, that bleeding for 9 weeks after is normal, that my boobs would leak so much I'd have to change my top 3 times a day, that my vagina would suck in air really easily,that the scar from my tear would still give me problems occasionally even now and despite having a 8 1/2lb baby come out of me having a speculum put it would still hurt (WTF!?)

Oh the joys of motherhood...

That even after you have the baby you are still get tired very easily from just walking. (And it's not from caring for a baby.)
