Postpartum Bleeding
I had no idea how much postpartum bleeding and guck would be coming out of my hoo-ha after giving birth. I had to shuffle to the hospital bathroom every hour or so to change the big monster pad and clean everything off my sore bits. I was also surprised when the nurse gave me a numbing spray to spritz on myself and even maxi-pad-shaped ice packs to stick inside the disposable mesh underwear. Gross, but soothing!
