Real talk: You are our hero. Giving birth can be scary, and exciting, but meeting your baby is absolutely magical. No matter how it went down, your little one is here now and we couldn’t be happier for you and your little fam. (And for real—your baby is seriously heart-eyes-emoji.) These next few weeks are all about survival. So strap on your mesh underwear, it’s going to be an intense ride. You’ve got this.
