Same up to 2 year pp (when I got pregnant again)

Changed permanently but in a different way than most.
I’m a fertility patient and had both my kids through IUI almost 4 years apart.
Period returned after 9 months with both (nursed till 12-13 months with both). The weird thing is I always had irregular periods due to PCOS (never
monthly- one in 9 months, 5 months, etc.), and when my period returned post-pregnancy, it was…normal. Like comes every month fairly regularly, with light, medium, heavy flow and some cramps.
I never had period cramps in my life before baby #1 who was born when I was 35.
The female body is strange and incredible!

Permanent so far, about to be 3 years pp. they’re short, inconsistent heaviness and length of period, etc.

How normal is it to be pulled off a trial team because you tell your boss you are moving after trial? I have a trial coming up first week of Oct.

I tell my boss up front that, for family reasons, I’ve gotten a new job and will be moving to another city two weeks after trial will likely end. He then gives my trial witnesses to another attorney, but is still going to make me do grunt work. Is he unreasonable or am I?

Trigger: rare illness post birth

Just sharing that I was diagnosed with postpartum preeclampsia 3 days after giving birth despite not having risk factors or preeclampsia in my pregnancy. Sharing as I had absolutely no idea about this illness.

Main things to do are check your BP everyday at least the first ten days after you give birth, and go to hospital if it's very high (over 160/110). If you get severe headache or stomach ache then also be vigilant.

Happy to answer any questions!

I’m having a really hard time with my changing body. 13 weeks, I don’t have too many bad side effects of pregnancy or anything so I consider myself lucky (no nausea ever etc) but I’m depressed at work, my skin is completely broken out and showing new broken face capillaries, and I’m not showing a bump yet so I just feel fat and big. I don’t know where this “glow” is but I look in the mirror and literally am grappling with not recognizing myself :( it’s been impossible to find any clothes too.
