Getting ready to become a mom? Check out 6 things no one will tell you about.

Expecting the birth of a baby, especially the first-born, many women imagine a complete idyll: the baby aguets merrily, and mom watches with emotion her baby. And no children's cry, colic in the tummy and other unpleasant moments.

However, life makes its own adjustments. The baby is in tears, and you are at a loss and have absolutely no idea what to do with the baby. For the day you are so exhausted as if you unloaded bags of sugar. And endlessly think about why no one warned you about these difficulties. So, dear mummies, we are telling and preparing you mentally for what else might “fall on your head”. And believe me, all this is a completely normal process.

You will be very tired

And this is natural. Do not believe commercials and some TV shows where mothers are vigorous at any time of the day, well-groomed and smiling. They probably have many helpers - nannies, grandmothers. Otherwise, looking like this is simply unrealistic. But how do you, young mother, feel? Not so rosy: sometimes you don’t want to go to the mirror, because a tired woman is looking at you, you are not chronically getting enough sleep and dream of one thing - to lie down for a couple of hours. By evening, you are only ready to have dinner and take a shower. Even at work, when reports were being prepared in an emergency, you weren’t so tired. It’s great if your husband understands and supports you, as well as your relatives. Believe me, all difficulties will soon pass, and you will remember them with a smile, because you have the main treasure - baby.

You want freedom

Walls are crushing you, and you want to unwind a bit and step aside at least for a day from everyday duties, from a constant routine. Of course, you have the right to do so. It is good if your family people understand your condition and create conditions for you to have a secluded holiday.

You will be angry at the baby

Do not worry about this, because this happens with the most ideal mothers. It is difficult to maintain complete calm if the baby sticks sand in his mouth. But how to be calm if flour and cereals were mixed up on the kitchen floor? Anything can happen, and you should not believe those mothers who claim that they are calm in any situation. And most importantly, you don’t need to consider yourself a bad mother. Everything is fine with you!

You will miss

Naturally, you don’t mind the soul in your little one, but still, at times, boredom piles on you. Reading the same story (beloved!) A few times to the kid, endlessly assembling a house of cubes or puzzles is somewhat annoying. Do not worry, this is a normal adult reaction. But there is some danger - the kids really feel the mood of adults and falsehood. They easily determine when you are not interested in participating in their games. Therefore, advice for mothers: try to be interested in activities with children. But dad won. They are happy to take part in football battles and computer games.

You will argue with the older generation

Many young mothers often argue with the older generation. Honestly, such skirmishes can sometimes develop into violent conflicts, because each side considers its own point of view to be correct. The mother-in-law insists on refusing diapers, the mother is endlessly giving advice on and without reason, while she does not tolerate objections, because "she knows what she says." What should you advise in this situation: sometimes, having patience, you should listen and do it your own way, and sometimes it’s worth listening to the advice of elders, because they have already raised their children, therefore they have experience in this matter. Here common sense must prevail.

You can change your mind

There is nothing permanent in this world, so it’s natural if, with the birth of a baby, your views on some things change. Have you been an opponent of kindergartens? Now do you think this is great? Have you changed your perspective on other topics: sleeping together, complementary foods, and potty training? It's okay, you did not become unprincipled, you just gained everyday experience.
