Sung to the tune of “My Favorite Things” by Julie Andrews in The Sound of Music
Night sweats that soak sheets and boobs that are drooping
Sitting on donuts and fear of first pooping
Anxiety, depression and all that it brings
These are a few of my postpartum things
Hourly feedings and lack of sleep madness
Hair loss with bald spots and tummy flab sadness
Sore, cracking nipples and peeing that stings
These are a few of my postpartum things
Checking all night long to see if she’s breathin’
Uncontrolled crying for no apparent reason
Panicking each time the loud doorbell rings
These are a few of my postpartum things
When the babe cries
And my boobs leak
When I’m feeling sad
I simply remember this sweet little thing
And then I don’t feel so bad
