I was naive and shocked to find out about all the bleeding that comes after childbirth. Not having a period was so wonderful for all those months of pregnancy, but to have to make up for all those missed ones at once? Somehow I stupidly also thought that having a c-section would eliminate the bleeding. Nope! But at least I was on the low end of the spectrum and only bled about a week and a half. That's still about 3 times longer than a regular period for me.

All that TMI just to say that I can't imagine going through that. When I'm not on the pill I'm irregular, and that causes enough anxiety.
