This is why pregnancy seems, initially, like a cure to periods. You spend three months with no period but puking everyday, three months feeling great because you have no period and are growing a baby, then three months swelling, crying, not sleeping, not being able to bend down or see anything below your belly button without realising you have a hard lump stopping you and brighten the experience by thinking "wow! I haven't had a period in 40 weeks". Pregnancy is brilliant for alleviating the problems of a period. Then you are handed your gorgeous, heart melting, tiny baby and told to bond with it. After that you get a 6 week solid period that you can't trust to stop, have to wear pads the size of your pillow, realise underwear is only there to hold said pads and now have boobs that also want some kind of pad attention. Now they hurt, are 3 times bigger and leak when someone else's baby cries. Oh and you've either laboured or had a c-section with stitches right before the 6 week period!
