☆ First of all being a mother isn't easy at all especially when it is your first child. You do not know what to expect and how it will feel physically, mentally & spiritually. You ask yourself so many questions. You have mixture of positive and negative feelings.Your emotions go out of whack (mainly because of the hormones). You wonder if you'll ever get decent sleep again and time for yourself. Being a parent in one word it is HARD! Not only for the mother but the father too. It's hard but very rewarding to see your beautiful child develop and grow. Another thing is you will never be ready for a child until you have the child in your arms and start settling to the fact that it is not all about yourself now it's about looking after this helpless little human being. I tell you one thing you will never feel the same again, you'll still be you but you will change in some ways. I know I have and I feel like a better person because it. Going into labour and birthing a child was a life changing experience like no other that I ever felt. I sit here to this day wondering how i managed to push out a 8 pound baby in the bath without pain medication. I did it! And I'm happy to start and continue my journey into motherhood.
☆ So I guess you are wondering. Why did I start this blog? I wanted to have somewhere to write a diary to look back on, share my story about my pregnancy, labour and birth plus what it is like being a first time mum. I would like to get my story out there to make other mothers and young ladies find out what is like. I know there are many mummy bloggers out there that do the same well this is my story and it is different to all the others. All pregnancies and woman are different. No one is the same. We all have our different views, beliefs and opinions, different situations and lifestyles, different body types and cultures.
☆ I may not be a teenager but I would like to say this. There are so many teen mums out there who are solo mothers with an absent fathers of the child or don't know who the father of the child is. There's teen mums who are co-parenting because they are not with the father or they're still living with their parents. Most of them still go to school and some dropped out to look after their baby. Some teen mums put there child up for adoption and some have abortions. But there are some teen mum who are with the father of their child. Every case is different and just because their teens doesn't mean they are not capable of being a mother. Teen mothers are just as good, or even better!!
What ever the situation, what the ever lifestyle, no matter what the age... a mother is a mother and she makes the decision on what sort of mother she is or will be. Mothers have the most hardest job in the world. Yes being a mother is a job. They shouldn't be judged by the way they do their job. Do you go judge the husbands, fathers and boyfriends out there working? No! so why should woman be treated differently. Mums do what is best for them and their child(ren) and they certainly do their best that they can to financially support themselves to give their baby the best life they can whether she works or the father of baby works. I'm very lucky to have what I have.
So please be thankful for what you do have even if it is not the best. Be thankful because there are many who aren't as well off. What im trying to say is the motherhood is not easy no matter what situation you are living in.
So this is me a first time mum who is doing her best to learn how to be a mother as she goes along with the help and support of family, friends, midwife, mummy bloggers/vloggers, plunket nurse and maybe your fellow supporters reading this. I don't expect anything just somewhere to share my story and may be make one other lady out there feel not so alone.
If I can do it and many other can I'm sure you can be an awesome parent too :)
