This mother wrote a brutally honest list about what it's like to give birth

Pushing another human out of yourself is a big deal, and when British mother Bekki Pope did it, she decided to give some other mums-do-be a head's up.

Her Facebook post, titled '20 things to know when you've just pushed out a baby', has gone viral, generating over 114,000 likes and 80,000 shares.

Pearls of wisdom include this gem, number 3, which advises:

Your first poo. Do not panic. You are not having another baby. It just feels that way. But just remember the size of the thing you pushed out of the front bit, and the prospect of pushing out what's in the back bit won't be quite so daunting. Your bum is not falling out. Or it might be. If you have piles. Which you probably do...

And number 9:

Your baby hates you. It's not crying. It's communicating with its master- the devil- about how successful their plan to destroy you is going. Seriously - it doesn't actually hate you. It may seem like it never cries when anyone else holds it or that it enjoys keeping you up all night, but really, it is so dependent on you it's embarrassing. Human babies are embarrassing.

And... oh god:

They want you on contraception straight away. Countless midwives will come and talk to you about how fertile you are and how likely you are to become pregnant again. They do however forget one crucial thing- you're never having sex again. You never want to see a penis again. And if one comes near you, you'll most likely destroy it for the sake of women everywhere. The end.
