13 Things Baby Books Don’t Tell You (But Moms REALLY Need To Know)

PopSugar.com hits the nail on the head with this article! Here is a snippet of the 13 things that the Learning How To Be A Mom books don't tell you about while you're pregnant!  You would think that these would be the items covered in such books, but go figure.

How to function on little to no sleep. Between 3 a.m. feedings and hours spent coaxing the little one to bed, new moms are lucky if they get a solid hour of shut-eye.

What you actually need to buy for baby. Or at the very least, products you can wait to purchase.

How to go to the bathroom after giving birth. Whether you suffer from epidural side effects or pain in your pelvis, your first few trips to the commode will be a challenge. To make the “movement” easier, eat high-fiber foods, drink plenty of water, and take comfort in the fact that it does get easier.

How to look put together after giving birth.  Your baby won't be the only one getting her photo taken that day.

When to call the doctor and when to deal with it yourself. It's easy for new moms to turn into hypochondriacs . . . especially with WebMD. But sometimes a cough is just a cough.
