I've never heard of these night sweats and bad smell! I'm scared now. :( </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/post-partum-is-so-unfair#post-460475 Fri, 21 Dec 2012 14:49:00 +0000 lovehoneybee 460475@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>It's all totally worth it for him...just wish evolution had been nicer to us! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/post-partum-is-so-unfair#post-460376 Fri, 21 Dec 2012 13:53:05 +0000 birdofafeather 460376@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>uh oh. now i'm scared. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/post-partum-is-so-unfair#post-460350 Fri, 21 Dec 2012 13:38:36 +0000 T.H.O.U. 460350@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I agree with this synopsis! It fit me almost perfectly. </p> <p>1. Cramping from uterus contracting<br /> 2. 6 weeks of PP bleeding<br /> 3. Huge cracked boobs (luckily I wasn't very leaky)<br /> 4. No sleep<br /> 5. Constant "smell"<br /> 6. Night sweats<br /> 7. Hair loss</p> <p>I think most of that happened between 0-3months PP and then the hair loss from 3-6 months pp. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/post-partum-is-so-unfair#post-460347 Fri, 21 Dec 2012 13:32:52 +0000 Bao 460347@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I hear ya on this one! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/post-partum-is-so-unfair#post-460344 Fri, 21 Dec 2012 13:31:06 +0000 sungirl 460344@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I never post but I feel compelled to now. Not so much about the hair loss which I think is just starting for me (and I have been prepared for), but the stink. I had never heard about this from anyone and I thought something was wrong with me. I feel so much better and hope to notice a difference in a few months. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/post-partum-is-so-unfair#post-460334 Fri, 21 Dec 2012 13:26:34 +0000 dc yoga bee 460334@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Whoa.

Soooo attractive. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/post-partum-is-so-unfair#post-460327 Fri, 21 Dec 2012 13:23:26 +0000 pregnantbee 460327@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>At 6 mos pp today! And I'm still losing a ton of hair. Maybe 8 strands every time I run my hands through? Have to clean out my brush once a day. Starting to get little hairs along my hair line. Can't wait to be back to normal. Still worth it for my sweet boy, though! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/post-partum-is-so-unfair#post-460283 Fri, 21 Dec 2012 13:03:39 +0000 WALLAROO 460283@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Wow. This is the first time I've heard of this "stinky odor". Lovely things we have to look forward to. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/post-partum-is-so-unfair#post-460167 Fri, 21 Dec 2012 12:00:19 +0000 sooz 460167@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Everything you say is so true! But, there is hope...six months does seem to be the turning point. Hang in there! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/post-partum-is-so-unfair#post-460012 Fri, 21 Dec 2012 10:40:22 +0000 loveisstrange 460012@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I feel like 6 months is really a turning point. Thats when the night sweats, hair loss and all the other disgusting crap stopped.</p> <p>I felt like a bear for about 3 months there though. :/ Hair was EVERYWHERE. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/post-partum-is-so-unfair#post-459826 Fri, 21 Dec 2012 09:12:54 +0000 littlek 459826@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I haven't had hair loss.. but I do have night sweats, leaky boobs and a weird odor I have never had in my life. But it's worth it, whenever I think of my LO I smile! :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/post-partum-is-so-unfair#post-459819 Fri, 21 Dec 2012 09:09:54 +0000 Smurfette 459819@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I am so not looking forward to the hair loss. It is so nice right being all thick. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/post-partum-is-so-unfair#post-459815 Fri, 21 Dec 2012 09:08:52 +0000 mrs. wagon 459815@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Couldn't agree more. I'm 5 months pp and my hair is finally going back to normal. I think. For a while both my mom and Wagon Sr. were asking me if I was ok because they were so alarmed at the amount of my hair they were finding!! </p> <p>I remember those sweats... I had to change all the sheets and blankets and underwear and pajamas every single day for weeks. Ugh. </p> <p>Postpartum is the worst, but when you realize something has gone back to normal (like, the first morning you wake up NOT soaked in sweat!!) it really really makes you appreciate your health!! haha. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/post-partum-is-so-unfair#post-459803 Fri, 21 Dec 2012 08:59:03 +0000 prettylizy 459803@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I spent so much time reading about and pregnancy I was sorely unprepared for the drama of post partum. The stinky night sweats were the worst for me. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/post-partum-is-so-unfair#post-459775 Fri, 21 Dec 2012 08:42:21 +0000 Mrsbells 459775@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@FutureMrsMcK: It gets better!!

Sad! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/post-partum-is-so-unfair#post-459751 Fri, 21 Dec 2012 08:17:37 +0000 Sammyfab 459751@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Aww...hang in there mama! It totally does suck!</p> <p>@HLK208: me too!

Also 6 months pp and I have tiny uncooperative baby hairs along my hair line thanks to pp hair loss! I for sure thought I was going to go bald. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/post-partum-is-so-unfair#post-459634 Fri, 21 Dec 2012 00:37:06 +0000 CupQuakeWalk 459634@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@mediagirl: listen lady-it's the only hope I can linger onto.

Right now I have short spiky hairs all over the place, especially along my hairline and along my part. There's no way to hide the hair that is growing in, and I look like a clown. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/post-partum-is-so-unfair#post-459617 Fri, 21 Dec 2012 00:02:33 +0000 cyndistar3 459617@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I am also 6 months pp and I agree with @mediagirl, it does get better! </p>
