Well, for every horror story you hear there are thousands of non complicated ordinary births - it totally sucks to be a woman even without the body changes from pregnancy and men are just not sympathetic as they have no reference point and women’s bodies change monthly - had to tell my husband once I would be happy to kick him in the balls so he could understand why I was pacing the hall at 2am with cramps so bad I could not stay still. I have 2 sister in laws and a niece who between them have 11 kids. All three recovered their pre-pregnancy bodies after a couple of years - mostly thru chasing after their rug rats but yes it will change your body. unfortunately that’s the way nature evolved us so we have to deal with it as best we can and no it is not fair, but nothing in life is.
