What is Postpartum?

Nine months of struggle finally paid off with your little baby in your hands. I know the feeling. It’s all rainbows and unicorns until you realize… it’s rainbows, unicorns, dirty diapers, and sleepless nights. This realization, my friend, that your pregnancy is yet to be over is called Postpartum.

In less scary words, there is another trimester, presumably, fourth that happens after you give birth to your little devil. Tell you a secret… it is the worst of all four.  Jokes apart, Postpartum is an essential part of pregnancy. It is taking care of the life you carried nine months.
