The Hormonal Pendulum: Feel All the Feels
Friendships are true gold in the rush of emotions known as pregnancy hormones. One minute you're sobbing over a cute puppy commercial; the next, you're giggling uncontrollably at cheese puns. The people who hold your hand (or pass the tissues) through the sob—but maybe laugh with you at the pun—are the ones you want around. Trust them when they say it's okay to feel however you want; it's what makes you human (and a little bit fabulous).
“Hormones as unpredictable as my dance moves — who knew I was such a mood chameleon!”
Once you've found your emotional rock stars, it’s only wise to gear up with the comfiest mum tum leggings for a postpartum glow-up.
