Seven Things You Wished People Told You On Becoming A Mom

No matter how experienced we are now, there are still things we wished we were told before becoming a mother; they unfold every day. 

1. Patience in breastfeeding

One thing that you have wished to know before becoming a mother and it may have helped you get more prepared is the knowledge that you have to be patient with your baby when breastfeeding. 

2. A new sleep regime

It were better you were told on becoming a mother that once your baby arrives your sleep will take a new regime which will not be very convenient until you get used to it. Infact sleep becomes a luxury!

3. What they already told you is not enough

Being confident in what you have learnt about a task ahead gives you a feeling of having an edge on the job. What they didn’t tell you is that what you have learnt and what you knew is not enough to take you through, the being a mom experience. 

4. That your nipples will hurt in the first few weeks

Been told or not, it may not have helped much, but would it have given you a kind of mindset? That your nipples will hurt in the first few months of your baby suckling. 

5. You will still make mistakes

How will you feel if you were told on becoming a mom, that no matter how prepared or how careful you are, you will still make mistakes here and there? On becoming a mother, no one is perfect. 

6. You have started discovering your inner strength 

Motherhood is a great experience even as the birth of every child is a new experience; I wish you were told that becoming a mother is an experience that allows you to explore your inner strength.           

7. You have just started discovering yourself

How would you have taken it if you were told that being a mother is a window to self discovery? You may have gotten little knowledge of it, but now the experience is overwhelming, far mother than you bargained for. 

Either you were told these secrets or not; does it really matter? Because on becoming a mom, there is a new lesson for each day. Take a cue from this list of things you wished people told you on becoming a mom and strengthen yourself for more lessons ahead.
