Pregnancy stops migraines? Also, did you not have morning sickness?

    It stopped mine because periods were my main trigger. And no, not really any morning sickness, I felt good.

    Nursing tanked my sex drive though, that was very disappointing after the high of pregnancy!

    What does nursing feel like?

    Also, did your sex drive tank because nursing made you tired or was it more the hormones of nursing just quelling your sex drive?

    Finally, how did the additional blood flow make things feel good?

    Hormones for sure. It was odd, I couldn't dredge up any desire at all. I could get off but it was like I couldn't be bothered, was starting from below zero instead of my usual +3, or the +5 of pregnancy, teenagehood, and 40s.

    Nursing - i would get a strong feeling of doom when the milk came down, thought I was crazy and didn't tell anyone, found out many years later that it's called DMER and was not just some unique madness. But once it started it was fine, it feels about how you would imagine, physically. Emotionally, outside of the odd doom rush, it made me feel good about my boobs - they were very small even while nursing but made So Much Milk it made me realize they were real boobs, complete and functional, in a way I had not felt at all before.

    How often would you get the DMER thing? Also, I’ve heard nursing described as feeling like “peeing through one’s nipple” …is that accurate? Also, apart from sex drive, how long did it take for your body to get back to normal after birth?

    Every time but only for a little while. Like the worst drug rush ever. Then it was just gone. And no, not like peeing, it's secretion not excretion, I didn't feel the milk coming out as much as the baby latching on. It did squirt right out though, it's pretty funny and also magical and awesome, free food for the baby is an incredible design.

    What does feeling full feel like vs feeling empty then?

    At first they do get full and hard, first couple of times the real milk comes in, but then adapt, and in my experience just make milk on demand when the baby nurses. My now grown kids say I am not empathetic about ladies who have issues nursing because it just seemed natural and not something I or any of my babies had to learn, it just happened. Have the baby, put 'em on the boob, that's it.
