"When I was pregnant with my daughter, my feet grew to the size of tree trunks. I couldn't walk. My skin stretched so much that I was in pain and itchy, and just in misery. I was fearful that my feet would never go back to their normal size because I had heard stories from my friends that their bodies did some weird sh*t, and they are not alone!"
"My feet are a size bigger. Annoying. I can't stomach most horror films. I used to love getting scared by movies/ tv shows. Pre kids, give me allll the terror and gross body horror! Now? Absolutely cannot take any of it. It's not even a conscious choice, I just get physically repulsed by it all. My hair went from straight to wavy. I don't overthink anymore, it's amazing."
Pregnancy and parenthood produce a wide range of physical and emotional changes. Feet can enlarge significantly and cause mobility problems, while skin stretching can lead to pain and itching. Hormonal and bodily shifts can create new food allergies, change hair texture, alter eyesight and dental health, and even reposition the belly button. Emotional responses often intensify, producing frequent crying, reduced tolerance for previously enjoyed media, and a reprioritization toward family and slower living. Individual experiences vary in type and duration, with some changes persisting long term and others evolving over time.
