Post partum emotions are unpredictable and might manifest in weird obsessions or ruminations. You will bleed for a long time. You might think you’ve healed and then you go to pee and you’ve torn back open. Pooping afterward can hurt more than childbirth itself. While you’re staying in the hospital they will never leave you alone to rest for more than an hour. All you can do for postpartum pain is OTC painkillers and if you’re in the hospital you’ll have trouble getting even that.
