Good side of motherhood

Im a ftm expecting my child soon and the people around me and social medias are all filled with the negative and scary side of motherhood after birth. The depression, the loss of sleep, the change of body etc and that made me very scared and demoralised. I know its all true and ill be experiencing all that but wow is it all bad side is my life going down the drain after having a baby. Will i ever be myself again. Can mummies enlighten me the good bright side of being a mother, especially with a newborn. 😣 #firsttimemom

Agree with all the other mummies comments. It's not all a bed of roses for sure. My baby is 8 months old and I'm still sleep deprived. The first 3 months were tough for me. Not going to scare you but it's good to have realistic expectations. It also depends on the temperament of your baby whether baby sleeps well, is fussy or not. Remember to be patient with yourself. It takes time to learn how to take care of the baby, to lose the pregnancy weight and have life go back to a new normal. It will never be the same again. On the positive side, your baby will bring you and your family lots of joy and you'll be surprised to learn how you can love another human being so much that you're willing to sacrifice so much. It truly is a joy watching the baby grow week by week, month by month. Enjoy the journey and be kind to yourself. All the best mummy!
