On the photos front, you may want to give your hair a brush and change out of your bloodstained birthing shirt–you’re going to be looking at these photos for the rest of your life (and showing them to anything with a pulse for years).

 You will still look at least six months pregnant once the baby is born. It takes six weeks for your womb to shrink back to its normal size and texture.

 Your tummy will be outlandishly squishy and spongy but will gradually firm up again.

 Your stretch marks will be bright red–they’ll fade to white eventually.

 Your Caesarean scar may look very raised, red and alarming–that will also fade to white eventually.

If you feel you’ve aged about twenty years in the last twenty-four hours, you probably have. Seriously, try not to be freaked out by all this–it’s temporary and happens to us all.
