The first thing you need to know is that you are not perfect, no one is and it is okay to be not a perfect mother, as long as you do your part, you try your best in all things about moms stuff, you will be perfect to your child's eyes. Your love, care, and sacrifices are enough to make a better home. Your role as a mother is to make sure your child is loved. 

What are the 8 Common Challenges That a New Moms Face? 

1. Lack of Sleep

As you walk through the world of being a mother, the one thing that you will face is a lack of sleep. Taking good care of our newborn is your full responsibility. As your newborn adjust sleepless night is what will be the demand for you. You are bound to nurse your baby every two hours to make sure your little angel will have the right amount of milk she needs from you. 

2. You Will Be Tired All The Time

Tired! Tired! Tired! 

3. Emotional Confusion

As a new mom, it's normal that you cannot sometimes understand yourself. As everything goes overwhelming the end part of a new mom is emotional confusion. When you cannot understand how you feel or what you think, seek someone that can listen to you and as you share your thoughts eventually, you can figure out what’s going on with you. 

4. You Don't Know At First

As a new mom, many first things will happen. For those magical first moments with your little angel, there will be things that you don’t know and I am telling you it is normal to experience it. There will be times that you will not know what to do but eventually, it will be okay. 

5. No Time For Yourself

Always remember that mothers do always sacrifice, sometimes you will feel cut-off from your regular life. As a new mom quality time for yourself will be impossible to have since your newborn child needs you all the time, there will be no time for you but please don’t be stuck or not have time for yourself. Love yourself and remember that if there will a person that can love you the way you needed it’s you! 

 6. Struggle With Breast Feeding

First mom experience struggles with breastfeeding, this is one of the challenges at first moment after your delivery, I remember with my first child, to be honest, I don’t know how to hold a newborn even how to feed him but as try and seek assistance for those people that can help me everything will fall out accordingly, just be patient with yourself and believe that you can do it!  

7. Experiencing hormonal changes

Many new moms don’t know what is hormonal changes after giving birth. It is part of the process. Your body goes through a lot of things and hormonal changes are one of them. If you experience insomnia, anxiety, rapid heart rate, fatigue, weight loss, and irritability (one to four months after birth) or fatigue, weight gain, constipation, dry skin, and depression, try to seek help from your help provider to know how you can deal with it. 

How can you be a great mother as you overcome this challenge? 

Motherhood is one of the most rewarding phases of life, it can be equally challenging for new moms, as you experience challenges learnings will come up. It is natural for a new mom to feel anxiety, nervousness, and depression. As a mom, spend maximum time with your baby.
