Five crap things no one tells you about having a baby

1. You may not sleep through the night for years. And sleeping in is a thing of the past. I long for the day I wake up before Ari does.
2. You won't recognise your breasts after breastfeeding. This may come as a severe shock!
3. Again, if you've breastfed, your hair may fall out in great wads. Half my hair is now half the length of the rest.
4. While some people are supportive, many people treat parents with virtual contempt. I knew it was an under-recognised job, but I had no idea how badly so.
5. Friends DO drop off the planet, never to be seen again.
