This is the reality of motherhood. . .💜

This is what the reality of motherhood looks like. . .

Clothes I wore yesterday cause I was too tired to change, throw up on my shirt, finally washed my hair after a week of it not being cleaned, hair not brushed, trying to go through and get rid of old stuff, but in the middle of that she cries and I stop what I'm doing to grab her feed her and then rock my babygirl to sleep and stare at how beautiful her little tiny face is and she makes me forget that my tummy isn't flat like it was before her and its all covered in stretch marks she make me forget my back hurts because I got the epidural to help ease my pain from spending 48 hrs in labor waiting for her arrival she makes me forget that my hips kill me because I went from 4'11 and barely 120 to 172 by the day I had her and now I'm 154 she makes me forget I barely sleep because she's been teething for 2 months straight she makes me forget anything that makes me sad when I see her face when I see her smile everything around us blurrs out and its her and I against the world and nothing matters but her

This is motherhood. . .
All the mess and crazy but just completely complete ❤

This is motherhood. . .
I'm completely here for it all, the ups the downs the wild the crazy the sleepless nights then up all the next day and doing it all over again

This is motherhood. . .
And im in love with it 💕

This is the reality of motherhood. . .

Really nicely worded. ❤️

Aww! Beautifully written❤️!

❤❤❤

Beautifully said!!!!! Love this!!! I can totally relate to this 💕💕💕

Almost in the same boat. Haven’t showered in a week, have knots and tangles in my hair, I probably smell like pee and spit up, I don’t know what sleep is... the nips hurt from him struggling to get a latch, being told that I’m beautiful by my daughter but then she asks why my tummy is still fat if there is no baby in there any more, the mountain of baby clothes that needs to be washed and folded is never ending...
I’m 4’11 also but I haven’t weighed myself in fear it will make me more depressed.

But despite being pooped and peed on, the way he looks at me makes my heart soar even though I feel like crying all the time. The way he sneezes is my new favorite sound. The way he snuggles up in my neck to fall asleep makes me happy.

I love this ! Thank you

I love it thank you so much

And I'm crying! 😭💗 This is beautiful and true!

Beautiful 🥰 I'm new to motherhood but I can relate - I know it's hard but it's very rewarding when they give you those cheeky smiles. I keep saying to myself that it's all worth it and it'll get better🥰🥰

Mama needs new friends ✨

Hey mamas 🤍 I'm going to be honest — I'm at a season in my life where I'm craving real, genuine friendship. The kind where we actually check on each other. Where conversations go both ways. Where we can laugh, vent, cry, and just *be* without it feeling one-sided.

I'm a stay at home mom of 6 (yes, 6! 👏🏼) and my days are full but my cup feels a little empty in the friendship department. I'm looking for women who get it — the chaos, the beauty, the exhaustion, all of it.

If you're a mom who values deep, reciprocal friendship and you're also out here looking for your people — drop a 👋 below. Let's actually get to know each other. 🤍

Help

Really embarrassing!
I'm a first time mummy at 35, she's 16 month and everytime I sneeze or cough I lose control of my bladder and pee a little 😔, I've had countless utis since having her aswell! Will it get better? Or do I need to invest in panty liners? 😆

Friends??

Heyy!! My name is Marie I’m 24 and I’m a ftm and sahm to a 5 month old baby boy🩵. I find it really hard to make/keep friends 😅. Honestly I’m kinda inconsistent, like we could text for days and suddenly I stop texting for a while (hence why it’s hard to keep friends) but I will always be there and answer whenever you text!! I’m from MA but I’m down to lone distance friendships🫶🏽

😏.

Sometimes I post on here just to hear other women call me pretty🥴🙈

Random but when you use a vibrator do you need to hold your lips open for it to touch the bean ?

It gets annoying because even if I open my legs I still need to hold the lips open to touch the bean and I have to do it the entire time my lips are literally sealed closed 🤣
