After giving birth, it can take 6 months to heal internally, 12 months for physical recovery, 2 years for hormones to balance and 5 years to rediscover your identity. Be kind and understanding to moms, they’re going through more than you know.

Did you know the longest pregnancy ever recorded w

Did you know the longest pregnancy ever recorded was a whopping 375 days (1 year and 10 days)! Most pregnancies last approximately 280 days or 9.5 months but Beulah Hunter’s daughter, Penny Diana, was almost 100 days overdue. Whilst this is an incredibly long feat, pregnancies of 42 weeks, approx 10 months, are relatively common. I was early with all three of mine. Were you overdue? #newborn #babygirl #beingamom #motherhood #parenting momtomom moms pregnancy pregnancyfacts biology relatable
