I get DMs all the time from moms who must be frantically searching the internet for “what’s wrong with me” at 2am. 

What I tell a mom who is 2 weeks postpartum will be DRASTICALLY different from what I tell a mom who is 2 months postpartum. 

In those early weeks, things are changing SO FAST.

Milk is spraying from your nipple a million different directions

You have night sweats

You probably still have discharge

Especially if you have never looked down there before and postpartum is your first time checking things out, well, you don’t even know where things started!

But if the knowledge is overwhelming you, then just stop looking! More information isn’t always better.
