19 ways motherhood changes lives

A person sees many things differently when expecting a child or having a child. Next, we list 19 ways in which motherhood changes lives.

1. You will find that you have an inner strength that you didn’t even know existed before. You will find yourself with brand new power sources to help you face life.
2. You may gain a few extra pounds on your body, but nothing will replace the satisfaction you get when you see your child smiling.
3. You will no longer need an alarm clock in the morning. From now on, your child will take care of your sleep rhythms and schedules, and determine when your common day begins. Most mothers are allowed to say goodbye to an 8-hour night’s sleep.
4. You will finally have a better understanding of your own parents and their behavior when you were still a child or teenager.
5. Weekend trips and wild party bridges with friends are rare. But we promise that staying home with your own family and going to bed at nine on a Friday night will no longer sound like bad ideas at all!
6. You will feel the pain and tingling of each of your children as if they were your own. Actually, they feel even worse because you would do anything to take your little one’s pain to yourself.
7. You will become more sensitive to some things. When you see, for example, worrying news about children, you feel more moving than before.
8. You will soon find that your baby will become the center of your world right after it is born. Today, discussing rashes, vaccinations, and colic are commonplace topics of conversation.
9. If, before nausea, you felt dirty diapers, or leaky snouts, then after raising your own children, they become only part of your natural, daily life. You may even start to find humor in a situation other than the situation when you change your baby’s poop diapers.
10. All the sacrifices you make during pregnancy, such as leaving out alcohol, enduring emotional turmoil and mood swings, and crying empty, will all feel worth it when you finally see your little one’s sincere smile.
11. Every day is different and full of surprises. You will also see the passage of days and months differently. After the first few months, your child has already learned to sit without support, or perhaps even taken their first steps or uttered their first words. Then you will really understand how fast time passes and a person grows up.
12. You will no longer be able to see other mothers on the street and just walk past : you will forcibly come up with some reason to talk to them because you are united by the strong bond of motherhood! Motherhood just makes starting a conversation easier.
13. You won’t have much more time to prepare, no more hours to put on makeup and hair, let alone a hairdresser. You’ll be too busy watching your little band, which, however, brings so much joy into your life that dark eye circles or slightly longer-than-normal root growth are a small price to pay for it.
14. You will understand the true meaning of the saying “love at first sight”. For when you see your baby for the first time, you will feel the purest and most sincere love that exists for him.
15. Only when you become a mother can you understand how a parent feels when a child gets a big scene in a public place. That’s what happens to all of us sometimes. However, for people who do not have children of their own, these incidents are difficult to understand.
16. You will also understand new things about your friendships. As you become older, there will be less time left for your social life. However, you will find that true friendships last for over years without exchanging affiliations or seeing each other!
17. You will soon automatically wake up early in the morning, even on weekends. The snooze option is not available when the alarm clock is used by a hungry baby.
18. You will finally realize that matter doesn’t really bring happiness. But a hug from your own child can make you happier than any gift in the world could ever do.
19. Small occasional indulgences directed at yourself are likely to be directed at someone else as well. You will instinctively choose between the great shoes and the educational game of the latter, as it is best for your child.
