  1. Your fingertips may be intermittently numb for months. Your hands might also go to sleep for no reason.
  2. You need an arm cushion for your infant carrier.
  3. Don’t look at infant growth charts.
  4. Chenille socks won’t stay on your baby, so don’t bother buying them unless for yourself.
  5. Don’t get too attached to baby outfits; they’ll be ruined or outgrown too soon.
  6. Night sweats aren’t just during menopause.
  7. You may still get dizzy even though you just ate 30 minutes ago.
  8. Preeclampsia headaches and protein in urine can still happen for months postpartum, so try to buy life insurance before, not after.
