25 Comic Strips Hilariously Show The Realities Of Motherhood
Motherhood is a challenging job. It's even harder the first time.
New mothers have a lot on their plates. They're trying to recover from childbirth, deal with sleep deprivation, and figure out how to breastfeed.
On top of all that, they're expected to be perfect. No wonder so many new moms feel like they're struggling.
If you're a new mom, know that you're not alone. There are plenty of other women who are in the same boat as you.
So, what's the secret to surviving those early weeks and months? Well, there is no one-size-fits-all answer, but there are a few things that can help.
First of all, you need to get as much sleep as you can. If you can't get a full night's sleep, take a nap when your baby does.
This may seem like an impossible task, but it's important to at least try. Get some help whenever you need it and take a break if you feel overwhelmed.
While it might feel like you're struggling, know that this is just a phase. It won't last forever, and you'll get through it.
Just take things one day at a time, and don't be too hard on yourself. You're doing a great job.
And if you're feeling a bit down, why not find some humor in what you're doing? Here are some funny comics by architect-slash-mom Anna Sachali.
