One of the biggest challenges I overcame in motherhood was becoming a mommy of two. I have a two year old and a four month old and I felt like I had to go through a grieving period of my daughter losing her only child spot and losing my full attention. I was afraid she’d feel like I replaced her. Super emotional pregnancy lol. One of my favorite parts of motherhood has been realizing that my love doesn’t get cut in half, it just grows bigger with two. Made my momma heart even more full. Thanks for the opportunity, Happy late Mother’s Day! ❤❤
I felt this too! I have a 2.5 year old and a 5 month old. I cried numerous times for my two year old when I became pregnant. Now my girls are my world and my two year old is the best big sister
One of the biggest challenges I’ve faced since becoming a mom is realizing how much growth I’ve needed emotionally. Learning how to give my children the things I didn’t have, as in emotional stability, is challenging but so rewarding. Probably my favorite part of motherhood is how much love is brought into my life, I grew up very isolated, so it’s such a blessing to have the love between my children and I. Happy belated Mother’s Day!!! ❤️❤️❤️❤️
Biggest obstacle is convincing myself that I’m doing a good job. There are days I feel on top of the world super mom, and other days I feel like the world is falling on my shoulders. I’m not where I want to be, but I’m getting in a better mindset. One of favorite parts about motherhood is seeing my kids learn something new. I get overly proud of the smallest of milestones hahaha.
Biggest obstacle I overcame was Postpartum Depression. I was hospitalized 11 months PP due to depression/Axiety/PTSD. Unfortunately I was in the hospital for 2 weeks and missed my baby first birthday. That was the hardest thing I've ever been through. I have overcome my PPD and have now celebrated 2 of mybabies birthdays. Its still a daily battle in my mind knowing I missed her 1st birthday. Every mom dreams of that day. My favorite part of motherhood is seeing the world through my babies eyes. It makes me more grateful and blessed.
My biggest hurdle was definitely post partum depression. I went untreated for almost 4 years because of pride and what I was afraid people would think of me and I actually sadly fell into postpartum psychosis and almost had to be hospitalized. Proud to say I am a survivor! I got on meds for a year and changed my life in every way. I’m currently weaning off my meds and I love my life. Never thought I would see the day.
Biggest challenge I overcame is learning to love myself more to be better for my daughter, my favorite part about being a mom is just watching her grow, smile and laugh, and just learning about the world. Just being around her makes me so happy, she always knows how to make me laugh 😂 she’s quite the comedian and I love her so much ❤ so happy Mother’s Day everyone!
My biggest challenges i overcame in motherhood was overcoming addiction before i got pregnant. I got pregnant at 22 and now im married with 3 kids and my life is more than i couldve ever imagined! My favorite thing of motherhood is seeing my children grow and learn something new everyday and seeing them smile and happy. Theres no better gift than motherhood ❤ happy mothers day!
Happy mother's Day to you! 🌷 Biggest obstacle I've overcome with motherhood is finally letting someone watch my kiddo it took 2 years not it happened. Motherhood can be so hard but it's important to have alone time. One of my favorite things about motherhood is experiencing kiddos firsts! ❤
One of the biggest challenges I overcame in motherhood was becoming a single mom while pregnant, pregnant when I was sharing my brother's house with his friends and having my daughter and moving to a new county with a newborn on my own. Somedays I thought I would die of tiredness. One of my favorite parts of motherhood is the bond and love that I have with my daughter, she's my best friend.
My biggest challenge: healing my inner child tra*ma My favorite part: feeling complete and whole. That “warmth” and “love” I was searching for is no longer. THIS IS ALL I NEEDED ALL ALONG. With or without a partner, this child will forever make me whole.
My biggest challenge I had so far in pregnancy I had really severe ppd and pp anxiety. I felt so alone, and wasn’t sleeping, barely eating it’s was so miserable. But my favorite part of motherhood is, what healing comes with it.
@feycreature Tbh, I’ve just had a really hard time accepting my new body. I miss my old body and even though I know it’s the same body and it did a beautiful thing creating life; it doesn’t feel like home. But I’m not paying to get these stretch marks lasered off my belly button until I know I’m done making more babies 😂
Going back to work (unexpectedly) after my divorce has been the biggest obstacle/ overcome! Favorite part is watching my son grow and change daily. He’s becoming his own person and it’s incredible to watch!!!!
Happy belated Mother’s Day! You and your daughter looked adorable in your frilly dresses 👗 Thank you for bringing us along on Mother’s Day! My biggest challenge to overcome is patience, patience, patience and my favorite thing about motherhood is watching my child grow and thrive! I love reading to him and teaching him new things all the time. @bethanywarner532
One of my biggest challenges was having a colic baby that woke up every single hour for the first year of life and me and my husband moved to a different country when my son was 5 months old. I had to learn to do it all on my own but now he is three and is the happiest kid in the whole world I made a literal mini me and he is the smartest kindest little boy.
The hardest part, going from 2-3 children in lockdown , 3 under 3 😂, the best part- having them so close together, growing together, becoming best friends together- it is a beautiful sight to witness, but my goodness hard work 😂❤ Jade_tg_thomas Good luck fellow mama's 🩷
Biggest challenge I overcame as first time mom is knowing I am enough as a mama. Struggling with breastfeeding really tripped up my mental health and making it over that hurtle was so hard. Now as my baby just turned one I struggle with wanting to wean her off the breast and even that has been so heart breaking. But I’ve learned that if I listen to my babies cues and needs then I’m doing the best I can. Happy Mother’s Day!! Your videos have been so helpful in my new motherhood ♥️🫶🏼
Biggest challenge I’m (currently working on) overcoming: respecting my 20yr old daughter’s no-contact boundary. Quick backstory- always a single Mama with full-custody, bio-father isn’t listed on the birth certificate, never given child support or been involved in any capacity. I have been clean/sober for the last over 15yrs, but my daughter’s working through her own feelings. Favorite part of motherhood: the truest love, deepest joy, learning experiences & growth that comes from parenting. Biggest blessing of my life is that my daughter changed me forever for the better. She is my soulmate & absolute love of my life. l don’t have social media anymore but have followed you for years & hope my entry will still be considered. It was the loneliest & hardest Mother’s Day yet for me, my Mama passed away 5yrs ago from Ovarian Cancer & was the first Mother’s Day with no communication from my daughter… the distance from both my own Mama & the one who calls me their Mama, was almost more than I could take. Hoping for happier years ahead & always sending love your way Britt! ❤❤❤
Biggest challenge was having my 1st baby in a homeless facility (hubby lost his shop and covid meant we both couldnt work in our choosen fields and we lived in a homeless place) was 21 but it really made me loose my identity. My body belonged to my little one and me and hubby didnt really have a sense of belonging.
One of my biggest challenge was being a single mom at 23 . No car, new apartment, new job. I saved money, got my own car and did not leave my apartment! Now married to an amazing man who took my son as if he was his and with two daughters ! The best mom about being a mom is sharing love so pure with other little humans ❤️
Love this video! Well done Mama on raising such a confident girl with such a secure attachment that she can enjoy her independence !!❤ My biggest obstacle is learning to navigate the whole Mum guilt and accepting that filling my cup/self care is JUST as important as the unconditional, knows no bounds love, energy and care I show my 2 year old and 4 month old every single day - inherent people pleaser over here and I see this as ‘selfish’ which I know sounds ridiculous but it’s something I’m trying to work on so I don’t burnout and be the best version of me for my babies 🙏🩷💙 xx
Hi Brittany! I love you and your channel and I truly appreciate your wholehearted honesty and openness throughout your mother hood journey 🤍 the biggest challenge I overcame/am still overcoming is l e t t i n g go. I’ve learned I can’t control every aspect of my day, my children’s day, what happens in our day, or really much of anything when it comes to having a baby and a toddler. I’m learning to go with the flow more and more even though this totally doesn’t come naturally to me as a type A gal. On the flip side one of my favorite parts of motherhood is what my children teach me- they teach me each day to be patient and kind and that if I spill ice cream all over the floor “it’s no big deal mommy” lol😅
The hardest part was breastfeeding and staying strong. The best part is seeing her smile, laugh and enjoy the world around her! My little is 20 months 😢
Happy Mothers Day Brittany. As per usual you are such an amazing human and mother. Thank you for the giveaway! I don’t have insta. I only have Facebook. How sweet of you to give a giveaway. I agree 100%, big events are so stressful and are always such a letdown. Biggest challenge to overcome is finding a routine to balance my life as a mom with two kids. I have a 2 year old and a 4 month old and I’m only now figuring it out. The best part of being a mom is seeing my favourite little humans grow up. Watch my 2 year old learning and being so proud of herself. And seeing the beauty of my baby. Thank you.
One of the biggest challenges i overcame in motherhood was becoming a teen mom and then being a single mom for years. I'm now married...5 biological children...4 bonus children...just living my best mom life. ❤️
Biggest challenges for me are becoming a solo single mum and trying to navigate what life look like now, also trying to explain (in age appropriate way) to my daughter where dad is now. The best thing about being a mum is seeing my daughter grow and all the little inside jokes we have together.
The biggest obstacle I had after postpartum was probably not knowing where my style or taste fell anymore because I was so different after having a baby. But also, when I hit the one-year mark, I also had a really hard time struggling with my hormones made me pretty angry mood swinging and I was awful to get along with when I was ovulating still going through that 2 1/2 years later lol
Still overcoming! But I would say I have overcome is letting others help me! I have a 3 year old and a 6 months old and my first PP was extremely difficult. I lost my dad.. it was covid season.. I went through a lot of changes. So I made it missions this time to let family help me so postpartum isn’t as hard this time around. Favorite part of motherhood is literally feeling like a superhuman. If I am proud of anything in life is being a mom. 😭😭
Happy belated Mother’s Day to you! It’s so sweet of you to think of other mama’s 😊❤ My biggest challenge has been learning how to take a step back and self regulate so that I can respond with grace to situations around my children - Breaking the cycle of toxic behavior that I saw growing up. My biggest joy has been guiding my two little humans on this path of life and seeing their personalities develop as they learn new things and discover themselves. It’s amazing helping them learn and seeing those moments when things connect for them mentally. My daughter will be 4 on 6/11 and it’s wild to me that it’s been almost 4 years of being her mama. I wouldn’t trade it for the world. ❤ She’s so much fun and the sweetest little lady. My son is 1.5 years and is such a little love bug. They both bring me so much joy - even when they’re testing their boundaries. 😂 Lostkings802
For me, as an immigrant was and still are the most challenging part-to be far away from relatives/parents without any even tiny bit support/help. And sure thing motherhood is just a biggest gift indeed, yes, I’m kinda alone but the same time while my lil one around-I’m never alone. Thank you for all your video, for motivation, inspiration 🤗 Happy Mother’s Day to all mothers here
For me the hardest part was completely chsnge my life and my priority , evdn if i new it will be like this. By now my daughter is 2 already and i am slowly come back to normal life again. But its worth it, when you see her new adventure every day, its the best filling ever)
My biggest challenge is definitely finding time for myself and coming to the understanding and acceptance that I’m the default parent. Doesn’t mean my husband doesn’t want to help but that my son will always choose me right now. Trying to treasure the time I have with him! Love your videos! You’re such a wonderful mama! 💙 @creationsbyali19
One of the biggest challenges for me as a mom is being patient and riding with the tantrums my adult brain just has a hard time dealing with it . And my favorite part of being a mother is how fun it is , so many fun places and activities I get to participate in with my kids . It’s like I’m a kid with them all over again ❤ Brendaeliza_
Thank you Brittany, your thoughtfulness is very admirable. One of the biggest challenges in motherhood is one I am still going through. I am a senior dental hygiene student in a very demanding program. My mother is my child care for my soon to be 3 year old, and she was recently diagnosed with stage IV ovarian cancer. My oldest brother came down from Alaska where he lives with his family since he's in the military. He offered to take care of my daughter in Alaska for me to focus on our mother, my studies, my national board exam, and husband. Although I am extrenmely grateful for him and his amazing wife, I cannot tell you how much I miss my sweet girl. She returns next week in time for my graduation on the 26th of May. Its been the longest 5 weeks of my life thus far, side note I’m currently 32 weeks pregnant. Now, onto the bright side of motherhood! The joy and true love she has blessed me with. Her giggles and kindness is intoxicating. Knowing I always have someone by my side is such a treat. Thank you again Brittany, I love your content, stay true to you, as thats what I love most about you. P.s. I don’t have an instagram…hopefully I can still be considered. Thanks doll.
Happy motherers day! One of the biggest challenges I've had to over come as a mother was last year I had to be the strongest for them and not let her know our world was falling apart. being abandoned by my girls father when I was 33 weeks pregnant with my 2nd baby girl. He had us drive across the country to relocate for work then told me he was in love with someone else there and left us homeless with nothing but a suitcase. Now a year later in our own apartment and everything they could ever need. I did it. My favorite thing is to be able to have all the moments with them and all the cuddles 💕 makes any hard days better.
I biggest thing I have had to overcome and honestly still working on is my worry/insecurity about “ doing something wrong “ and totally screwing up my kids and for my the best part is just witnessing the people that they are growing into how brave loving compassionate strong outgoing shy introverted loud there personalities all around looking at them I am just like wow I helped make those humans it’s crazy @kaseyhowell24
Biggest challenge I overcame and still am is going through a separation when my son was 2. It has now been a year and I am still learning to navigate co parenting relationship with his dad. It was extremely hard for me as my son was through IVF and when we finally had him I thought my family would be complete. Now that he’s turning 4 in October its getting harder to explain the coparent dynamic. I am so grateful to be his mom and to be able to be called a mom as I never thought I would be. You inspired me in my journey through single motherhood and I want to thank you! I do not have social media for the entry
My biggest struggle as a mom has collectively been making time for myself. And the best thing about being a momma has been watching her grow and being able to help my daughter be confident and independent!! @hairbyjessgrimes
Biggest challenge: getting over postpartum. It was a struggle to have my child be with other people. I needed to be with him at all times. I hated myself so much and I’m happier now. Favorite part: watching my son grow and learn new things. Knowing I’m his best friend and he’s mine. I will also love him no matter what…. I don’t have instagram. ❤
Biggest challenge I overcome was not loving my myself and losing people are not good for me One of my favorite part of being a mother just seen my kids grow and learn new things express their feelings @lilacstro
Thank you! One of the challenges of motherhood was loosing myself as far as self care. To the point showering wasnt a priority lol in the very thick of it but fortunately that time passed. My favorite thing is just being present and witnessing my daughter’s growth and development rt before my eyes. i just love her so much and i feel so lucky to watch her grow🥰
It’s funny and sad how we moms struggle to figure out what to do with our free time when kids aren’t around lol it’s like not doing something is a waste of time but also we can’t just relax 😂
My baby boy Wes is almost 10 months now! Biggest challenge I overcame after becoming a mom is taking care of myself while taking care of my baby and finding some good rhythms. A lot of time my health (mental & physical) would be placed on the back burner and I’d find myself very burnt out and unhealthy. Now I have found some great rhythms that work to keep myself healthy so that I can be the best mom to my baby boy!
My biggest challenge was becoming a full-time single mum of a 4 month old and 2 year old after fleeing domestic violence, which is also in a way the best part of motherhood now for me. Getting to spend every single day with my two beautiful boys and giving them the life they deserve ❤️ You have been such a big inspiration for me as a single mum. Thank you for being you ❤️❤️ @sophmaddern
My biggest obstacle has been learning to be a mom of 2 and splitting my time between my newborn and my toddler ! And the biggest blessing of being a mom is hearing my kids laugh and smile it literally melts my heart! 🥰 I found you when I was pregnant with my first and I’ve never looked back you helped me get through so many different stages in my now toddlers life ! Thank you ❤️ _onevillage
Feeding my babies was my biggest challenge. The fear of under feeding my babies was ever present and left me with severe anxiety. I was pumping around the clock, sleep deprived and have intrusive thoughts - therapy was the only way I overcame it. Rationally I know ‘fed is best’, but geez, I really couldn’t get past all the ‘breast is best’ messaging that was pushed so hard on this new mum.
One obstacle I am avidly working on is self regulating my emotions. As a 1st time mom who struggles w their mental health it has been challenging learning how to create healthy mindset even during difficult times. Motherhood has taught me self compassion and to give myself grace. One of my favorite parts of motherhood is the relationship/bond I have with my son. It is different from any other relationship I’ve ever experienced. My son and I love to go on adventures (the park, zoo, museums)… making these memories together is so much fun and fulfilling. 💕 Good luck to you Brittany! & thank you for all of the advice & aesthetic you have brought to viewers like me! 💓
My biggest challenge as a mother rn is navigating a safe space and place for my toddler to explore not just in the home environment but also in the community. Without always telling them. “No” or “don’t do that” lol
Favourite thing about motherhood is I grew up without family really so I finally feel like I have family cause of my little girl Biggest obstacle has been learning to regulate my own emotions as I have been through a lot of trauma growing up. You don’t realise how unregulated you are till you have a child
The hardest part of motherhood for me was finding out at 35 weeks pregnant that my son had hydrocephalus, I was petrified because in that moment I didnt know what that meant for him - fastforward 2 years hes an amazing wonderful little boy - yes theres lots of surgeries, but he overcomes them so well. Hes the biggest blessing and the best thing that has happened to me and my husband. I want to spread his bravery and his smiles everywhere I go. Happy mothers day 🌻
My biggest challenge I overcame in motherhood was learning that I was not my mother. I know a little bit of context is needed. My mother was not present and to this day still unavailable. I was afraid I wouldn’t be able to love my two beautiful daughters because I was never shown how to love. It took me 2 1/2 years to realize when someone told me they have never seen children so happy to know I have done my best and that they know I love them with all my heart. My favorite part about motherhood is the ability to see my babies grow into wonderful humans and grow their own personalities. ❤
Biggest challenge: Postpartum recovery! I’m going through it for the second time right now. My little boy is one month today, my daughter is 3. Both times were rough for me physically. My favorite part of motherhood: I’ve really found myself in being a mom. I’m not as afraid to stand up for myself, especially when it’s something that affects my kiddos. I’m more confident, less worried about what people think of me, more kind to myself, more patient, I feel like I’ve learned so much. I love this version of myself since having become a mom. My littles make me better ❤
The biggest challenge was forsure feeling like a default parent// like I was giving up more than my husband! The most rewarding part is the love, the little hand reaching for mine, the wet kisses, the purpose! 🫶🏻 happy mothers day!
One of the biggest challenges was being pregnant with an almost 3 year old. I am not a good pregnant woman, I had pelvis issues throughout my pregnancy which made it so I had a hard time walking, couldn’t lift over 10lbs, couldn’t sit on the floor or anything which made it very difficult with a toddler. I felt like I wasn’t able to play with him like he wanted me to and of course he didn’t understand why. Once baby came out, it was a lot better. My partner is very good at grabbing baby and letting play with our son… my favourite thing about motherhood is the unconditional love that you have for your kids. It’s almost a surreal feeling. What a gift it is to be able to experience this type of love🥰 Thank you for the opportunity to win this giveaway🩷
My biggest challenge was facing my mental health problems. Dealing with severe anxiety, postpartum depression. Also trying to have a good relationship with baby daddy who also have a depression.
One of the biggest challenges I’m still learning to overcome is accepting my mommy body. Especially post-partum second baby, I’m having much more trouble navigating a new sense of self.
Hi Brittany - I have been following you from down under and love your warm and honest content. My biggest challenge was to accept my true self, by facing my blind spots and accepting my limitations as a mother, wife and person. My biggest joy was to discover the enormous supply of love I had hidden and never knew how to let out.
The struggle is real! As a mother, self sacrifice was the biggest challenge. I’m an older mother in my forties and never thought motherhood was possible for me. I owned and operated my business of 20 years and when I had my daughter I was forced to close my doors. My priorities got dramatically shifted. I lost a lot of independence and sacrificed a life I worked so hard to create. I’d do it all over a million times because nothing better than being a mama and watching my beautiful daughter thrive.
One of my biggest challenges i overcame is getting pregnant right after another. It was so hard to give both of my babies attention as they were both so small. And here we are now my 3.5 year old and 1.5 year old living our best life 😂❤ @rosaalbaa__1
Biggest obstacle to overcome would be the process of finding out my daughter has Autism. She’s such a bright little girl! Watching my 3-year old son learn the different ways to play with her and watching him try so hard to protect her is one of the most amazing things to witness as a momma! Happy Mother’s Day! ❤ **I don’t have instagram or any social media but I do have an email 😆
Don’t expect to win, haven’t even seen the prize yet 😂 but i thought I would answer your question anyway! Challenge - I split up with my kids dad in January. And deciding to split the family unit was by far the hardest thing I have ever done. There are so many unknowns and uncertainties. It was just a very hard pill to swallow. (Just to add - the kids have adapted amazingly. My daughter is so young she didn’t really seem to take on too much and my son claims he is “lucky because he has 2 houses” and I think their dad and I’s relationship has benefited from being apart) My favourite part of motherhood - it’s a toss up!! I LOVED breastfeeding and having that experience with both of my babies (they both took to it like pros luckily). It was just such a special time that i can’t really describe in words. BUT, I also LOOOOOVVVVVEEEEEE watching them learn something new - to see their faces finally understand what I’ve been saying or watching their pride as they achieve something they have practiced is the best feeling in the world….. ACTUALLY sorry I change my mind and can’t be bothered deleting- my favourite thing is when my son says “I love you mummy” or if I say it to my daughter she puckers up for a kiss -- there’s no better feeling in the world Just watched the rest of the video - sorry I don’t have insta - WELL DONE TO THE WINNER!!!!!!
The biggest challange I’ve overcome as a mom was to learn how to thrive not just survive after the birth of each of my kids (2 under 2). Came across your videos when I was pregnant with my first during COVID and felt so isolated, so thank you for being with for me through it all!
My biggest challenge as a mom is dealing with my own emotional regulation and realizing how much my own emotions play into how I parent my daughter. She is super sensitive and so am I and I have been working on my patience with her. My favorite thing about being a mom is watching the world through my daughter’s eyes. It has taught me whole new appreciation for the little things in life
Biggest challenge for me has been not having a village. And my favorite thing is everything. I’m truly so proud of myself for overcoming every challenge by myself. 💗💗💗
One of my biggest challenges was how much my relationship with my partner suffered and working on it, although we are together and I couldn't consider it any other way, it is DIFFCULT. Also my favourite part is just seeing another human being grow and change, and how much love I can have for my child. ❤
Learning that I am capable of being a good mom and capable of making good choices for my daughter. It’s so easy as a new mom to think that others know best because they’ve done it before but sometime you have to realize that no one else will share the bond that you have with your child - and that means you can trust in what your mom gut says! My favorite part is watching her turn into a tiny adult each day! ❤ P.S. I watched you during my pregnancy and just wanted to say THANK YOU. Unlike a bulk of the world I was scared to be a mom! But you brought me some peace of mind with how real and honest you were ❤ @mom_work_repeat
Hi Brittany! I completely agree about Mother’s Day being like bdays, wayy too much anticipation when if it was low key we’d all probably enjoy it more! Anywho, I don’t have IG but I’ll still answer your questions: the biggest challenge I’ve overcome in motherhood is not reacting (still not perfect) and trying to give a level response even when I’m tired, upset, and overstimulated. The thing I love most about motherhood is that it’s given me a purpose beyond what I had before, and I have a built-in best friend for the rest of my life. 🩷 Happy Mother’s Day. You are truly an incredible mom!
@pineapple_jules The biggest obstacle for me has been being a mom in survival mode due to the father being abusive. I finally left him in February of this year, and that has alpund me to finally be the mother Iwant to be, our child is 3 so it was a long road to get here now. The best parts have been just taking back control and watching how doing what was best for meself and my child was the absolute best decision I could have ever made. We are both growing, learning and blooming together with the new found peace we have now that we don't live with his father.
One of my biggest challenges has been breaking generational norms? Behaviours? If that’s that you’d call them. Parenting differently to how I was raised and finding the courage to advocate that. My daughter and Arrow actually share the same birthday. Same year too! Your pregnancy content is what originally brought me to your channel 💜 @leannebaynes
Biggest struggle I overcame in motherhood was mom-guilt, started with not being able to breastfeed as my little one could not latch (thank you for your video btw on encouraging all mom's that at the end of the day what matters is baby is fed and happy, whether breast or bottle feeding) and also mom-guilt associated with pursuing your careers/dreams. I'm so happy, and proud at the same time, to see how my daughter mature, grow up and become a wonderful person each day. Happy mother's day to everyone, and thank you to all the mom's who's doing a wonderful and amazing job of taking care of your family! 🎉❤
🙋🏻♀️ Hi! 😊 Biggest challenge: Accepting that, as ready as I thought I was to be a mom, I wasn't even close to being prepared for all that comes mentally! I love to talk openly with new moms to let them know they are not alone. Love that you do that too! Momming is hard, but when you stop to take the time to enjoy the smallest things, that's when you'll find the biggest joys. Today it was watching my 3 yr old trying to remove an eye boogie. Random and extra adorable 😂
Happy belated Mother’s Day! My biggest challenge is hoping I’m doing everything right for my kids! Definitely remind my self I’m the best mom for them and they just enjoy being with me. My favourite part is watching the world through their eyes. @stoppable01
The hardest challenge for me in motherhood has definitely been my losses. My first son Jude, passed when I was 34 weeks pregnant in 2020, and I've had 3 other losses. Death is so hard for everyone, but I truly think losing your child is the hardest thing to go through in life. It did show me how to love so much deeper, and how much motherhood is a blessing. I know I will hold them again. My son, Gabriel Moses is now 2 and is our miracle boy. I am so blessed to have him in my life, we waited so long for him and prayed so hard. He truly is my greatest gift in motherhood, and seeing him grow more and more is so rewarding.✨️ I am currently 4 weeks pregnant and am just hoping with everything i have that this baby is healthy! I started following you when I pregnant with Jude, and love seeing Arrow growing up because it reminds me of how big Jude would be. As always, love you so much! You are a great mother. rene.m.hill
@rjessicaxo I have an almost 4-year-old as well and have noticed the big shift on how independent he wants to be now. It's hard to accept that he is not a baby anymore, but it's exciting seeing him grow. Happy Mother's Day!
Biggest challenge, figuring out how to be a single parent and get back to work while not having any help from their father. 2&3 years old, it's been rough but it's working for now. It also makes every night cuddling before bedtime just the best part of every single day. Happy mother's day!
One, u love your videos and have been watching since I was pregnant, with my now 3.5 year old! And two, my biggest challenge, similar to you, was learning how to be a single Mum, learning how to go from being a wife, to a Mum, to having days when you don’t have any label when your child is gone. My partner was also abusive, so learning to love myself and appreciate and admire self. I am so happy admire my strength and courage! My biggest blessing and favourite thing about my daughter, is her pure happiness and joy! The joy she brings me and brings the world around her!
Biggest challenge for me was breastfeeding, hands down. I struggled with so many problems and complications and that doesn’t even cover the pain :). But the best thing about being a mom is experiencing the unconditional love that I never knew existed until my little babe came along - she changed my life and is the brightest light in my life! Makes everything worth it :) @micheletran
@wesenick_photography One of the biggest challenges I overcame was the change in my own mindset and communicating that with my spouse. He is super go with the flow and I am becoming a lot more particular with things. I like a clean home because my little lives there, whereas he doesn't seem to mind. Getting on the same page has been a challenge but we are getting there! One of the best things is getting my little up in the morning. I don't usually get to because I work, so seeing her light up when I walk in her room in the morning is the best feeling (even if she does then start looking for her dad). She just turned one so I am excited to get to see her personality come out!
I’ve been watching you since your teens and am in awe of the wonderful woman and mom you’ve become. One of my biggest challenges as a mom was (I’m now an empty nester) was navigating mental health issues with my daughter! Happy to say she’s thriving now but WHEW what a ride.
Hi there, on of the biggest challenges I've faced was having to be a single mother and still overcoming all obstacles.. My son is now 14 years old and I couldn't be more proud.. My favorite part of being a mom is definitely bringing a decent well mannered young man into this world.. From a very proud mom.. ❤
Hi I love your videos you’re a huge inspiration to me. I would love to win the giveaway because I never buy anything for myself I always buy everything for my kids it would be nice to win something for a change ❤️ My biggest challenge in mother hood that I’ve had to overcome would be having to stay home as a stay at home mama and letting my husband be the provider for our family. Before I had children I would work all the time and make a lot of money in the service industry. Being home all the time makes me go stir crazy sometimes. Dealing with a two year old and a 6 month old who is a Velcro baby and wants to be held 24/7 or he cry’s non stop makes me feel like I’m going crazy but I try my best to be the best mother to my children that I can be, I try everyday to give them everything they could ever need to thrive. Some days I miss working and having a social life and being able to do all the things I want. But I’m so thankful to have my two little fellas they are my world and make me so happy. It’s definitely a challenge everyday. One of my favorite parts of motherhood is watching my sons grow and learn new things, getting to experience things with them that they’ve never experienced before like the beach, zoo, different events that we go to it’s always so amazing watching them get so excited for the smallest things. Hearing the first words, watching them take their first steps, first craws or when it comes to my two year old watching him learn his abc and signing them is the sweetest things. I just love experiencing life with them. It’s definitely the best part of motherhood 😊
Omg how fun! One of my biggest struggles with motherhood is mom guilt! I need to work to give them a good life but when I work I’m not with them. It’s such a hard cycle. But I know all my hard work will be worth it. Also watching them grow up so quick is so exciting but soo heart wrenching 🥹😭 My absolute favorite thing about being a mom is just that unconditional overwhelming love and connection. There is no love like the bond between a mother and her babies 🥹😭🩷
First of all I love your content, feels like you are super real with us! What I had to overcome was really bad postpartum depression and anxiety, I feel like it kind of stole those newborn moments from me. What I am most grateful about being a mommy is watching my little human grow and learn and being one of his favorite people. (For now) 😅
One of the biggest challenges I overcame in motherhood was becoming a mommy of two. I have a two year old and a four month old and I felt like I had to go through a grieving period of my daughter losing her only child spot and losing my full attention. I was afraid she’d feel like I replaced her. Super emotional pregnancy lol. One of my favorite parts of motherhood has been realizing that my love doesn’t get cut in half, it just grows bigger with two. Made my momma heart even more full. Thanks for the opportunity, Happy late Mother’s Day! ❤❤
I don’t have an instagram unfortunately. I could make one if I need to! 😅💕
Awe I remember this feeling sooooo well 🥹🤍 sending love, your doing great!
@@sadiebarnes4291 thank you so much!! 🥲
I totally have this feeling right now. I’m glad you shared your perspective. I feel a little better!
I felt this too! I have a 2.5 year old and a 5 month old. I cried numerous times for my two year old when I became pregnant. Now my girls are my world and my two year old is the best big sister
One of the biggest challenges I’ve faced since becoming a mom is realizing how much growth I’ve needed emotionally. Learning how to give my children the things I didn’t have, as in emotional stability, is challenging but so rewarding. Probably my favorite part of motherhood is how much love is brought into my life, I grew up very isolated, so it’s such a blessing to have the love between my children and I. Happy belated Mother’s Day!!! ❤️❤️❤️❤️
Biggest obstacle is convincing myself that I’m doing a good job. There are days I feel on top of the world super mom, and other days I feel like the world is falling on my shoulders. I’m not where I want to be, but I’m getting in a better mindset.
One of favorite parts about motherhood is seeing my kids learn something new. I get overly proud of the smallest of milestones hahaha.
Biggest obstacle I overcame was Postpartum Depression. I was hospitalized 11 months PP due to depression/Axiety/PTSD. Unfortunately I was in the hospital for 2 weeks and missed my baby first birthday. That was the hardest thing I've ever been through. I have overcome my PPD and have now celebrated 2 of mybabies birthdays. Its still a daily battle in my mind knowing I missed her 1st birthday. Every mom dreams of that day.
My favorite part of motherhood is seeing the world through my babies eyes. It makes me more grateful and blessed.
So sorry you went through what you did, glad you are healing
I'm so sorry that you went through that, especially during a milestone. I'm glad that you're here and that you're doing better ❤
My biggest hurdle was definitely post partum depression. I went untreated for almost 4 years because of pride and what I was afraid people would think of me and I actually sadly fell into postpartum psychosis and almost had to be hospitalized. Proud to say I am a survivor! I got on meds for a year and changed my life in every way. I’m currently weaning off my meds and I love my life. Never thought I would see the day.
Biggest challenge I overcame is learning to love myself more to be better for my daughter, my favorite part about being a mom is just watching her grow, smile and laugh, and just learning about the world. Just being around her makes me so happy, she always knows how to make me laugh 😂 she’s quite the comedian and I love her so much ❤ so happy Mother’s Day everyone!
My biggest challenges i overcame in motherhood was overcoming addiction before i got pregnant. I got pregnant at 22 and now im married with 3 kids and my life is more than i couldve ever imagined! My favorite thing of motherhood is seeing my children grow and learn something new everyday and seeing them smile and happy. Theres no better gift than motherhood ❤ happy mothers day!
Happy mother's Day to you! 🌷
Biggest obstacle I've overcome with motherhood is finally letting someone watch my kiddo it took 2 years not it happened. Motherhood can be so hard but it's important to have alone time.
One of my favorite things about motherhood is experiencing kiddos firsts! ❤
That white outfit is giving major Mean Girls era energy and I love it
One of the biggest challenges I overcame in motherhood was becoming a single mom while pregnant, pregnant when I was sharing my brother's house with his friends and having my daughter and moving to a new county with a newborn on my own. Somedays I thought I would die of tiredness. One of my favorite parts of motherhood is the bond and love that I have with my daughter, she's my best friend.
Good luck to all the moms for winning the give away ❤❤❤
My biggest challenge: healing my inner child tra*ma
My favorite part: feeling complete and whole. That “warmth” and “love” I was searching for is no longer. THIS IS ALL I NEEDED ALL ALONG. With or without a partner, this child will forever make me whole.
My biggest challenge I had so far in pregnancy I had really severe ppd and pp anxiety. I felt so alone, and wasn’t sleeping, barely eating it’s was so miserable. But my favorite part of motherhood is, what healing comes with it.
Turns out my biggest challenge to overcome is actually getting pregnant 😞 2 years trying to conceive and nothing. So tired.
@feycreature
Tbh, I’ve just had a really hard time accepting my new body. I miss my old body and even though I know it’s the same body and it did a beautiful thing creating life; it doesn’t feel like home. But I’m not paying to get these stretch marks lasered off my belly button until I know I’m done making more babies 😂
Yes, that was super tough for me as well!!
Going back to work (unexpectedly) after my divorce has been the biggest obstacle/ overcome! Favorite part is watching my son grow and change daily. He’s becoming his own person and it’s incredible to watch!!!!
Happy belated Mother’s Day! You and your daughter looked adorable in your frilly dresses 👗
Thank you for bringing us along on Mother’s Day!
My biggest challenge to overcome is patience, patience, patience and my favorite thing about motherhood is watching my child grow and thrive! I love reading to him and teaching him new things all the time.
@bethanywarner532
One of my biggest challenges was having a colic baby that woke up every single hour for the first year of life and me and my husband moved to a different country when my son was 5 months old. I had to learn to do it all on my own but now he is three and is the happiest kid in the whole world I made a literal mini me and he is the smartest kindest little boy.
The hardest part, going from 2-3 children in lockdown , 3 under 3 😂, the best part- having them so close together, growing together, becoming best friends together- it is a beautiful sight to witness, but my goodness hard work 😂❤
Jade_tg_thomas
Good luck fellow mama's 🩷
Biggest challenge I overcame as first time mom is knowing I am enough as a mama. Struggling with breastfeeding really tripped up my mental health and making it over that hurtle was so hard. Now as my baby just turned one I struggle with wanting to wean her off the breast and even that has been so heart breaking. But I’ve learned that if I listen to my babies cues and needs then I’m doing the best I can. Happy Mother’s Day!! Your videos have been so helpful in my new motherhood ♥️🫶🏼
Biggest challenge I’m (currently working on) overcoming: respecting my 20yr old daughter’s no-contact boundary. Quick backstory- always a single Mama with full-custody, bio-father isn’t listed on the birth certificate, never given child support or been involved in any capacity. I have been clean/sober for the last over 15yrs, but my daughter’s working through her own feelings. Favorite part of motherhood: the truest love, deepest joy, learning experiences & growth that comes from parenting. Biggest blessing of my life is that my daughter changed me forever for the better. She is my soulmate & absolute love of my life. l don’t have social media anymore but have followed you for years & hope my entry will still be considered. It was the loneliest & hardest Mother’s Day yet for me, my Mama passed away 5yrs ago from Ovarian Cancer & was the first Mother’s Day with no communication from my daughter… the distance from both my own Mama & the one who calls me their Mama, was almost more than I could take. Hoping for happier years ahead & always sending love your way Britt! ❤❤❤
Biggest challenge was having my 1st baby in a homeless facility (hubby lost his shop and covid meant we both couldnt work in our choosen fields and we lived in a homeless place) was 21 but it really made me loose my identity. My body belonged to my little one and me and hubby didnt really have a sense of belonging.
One of my biggest challenge was being a single mom at 23 . No car, new apartment, new job. I saved money, got my own car and did not leave my apartment! Now married to an amazing man who took my son as if he was his and with two daughters ! The best mom about being a mom is sharing love so pure with other little humans ❤️
Love this video! Well done Mama on raising such a confident girl with such a secure attachment that she can enjoy her independence !!❤
My biggest obstacle is learning to navigate the whole Mum guilt and accepting that filling my cup/self care is JUST as important as the unconditional, knows no bounds love, energy and care I show my 2 year old and 4 month old every single day - inherent people pleaser over here and I see this as ‘selfish’ which I know sounds ridiculous but it’s something I’m trying to work on so I don’t burnout and be the best version of me for my babies 🙏🩷💙 xx
Hi Brittany! I love you and your channel and I truly appreciate your wholehearted honesty and openness throughout your mother hood journey 🤍 the biggest challenge I overcame/am still overcoming is l e t t i n g go. I’ve learned I can’t control every aspect of my day, my children’s day, what happens in our day, or really much of anything when it comes to having a baby and a toddler. I’m learning to go with the flow more and more even though this totally doesn’t come naturally to me as a type A gal. On the flip side one of my favorite parts of motherhood is what my children teach me- they teach me each day to be patient and kind and that if I spill ice cream all over the floor “it’s no big deal mommy” lol😅
The hardest part was breastfeeding and staying strong. The best part is seeing her smile, laugh and enjoy the world around her! My little is 20 months 😢
Happy Mothers Day Brittany. As per usual you are such an amazing human and mother. Thank you for the giveaway! I don’t have insta. I only have Facebook. How sweet of you to give a giveaway. I agree 100%, big events are so stressful and are always such a letdown.
Biggest challenge to overcome is finding a routine to balance my life as a mom with two kids. I have a 2 year old and a 4 month old and I’m only now figuring it out. The best part of being a mom is seeing my favourite little humans grow up. Watch my 2 year old learning and being so proud of herself. And seeing the beauty of my baby.
Thank you.
One of the biggest challenges i overcame in motherhood was becoming a teen mom and then being a single mom for years. I'm now married...5 biological children...4 bonus children...just living my best mom life. ❤️
Happy past Mother's day and white outfit look gorgeous. My white outfits only for one time with toddler.
Biggest challenges for me are becoming a solo single mum and trying to navigate what life look like now, also trying to explain (in age appropriate way) to my daughter where dad is now. The best thing about being a mum is seeing my daughter grow and all the little inside jokes we have together.
The biggest obstacle I had after postpartum was probably not knowing where my style or taste fell anymore because I was so different after having a baby.
But also, when I hit the one-year mark, I also had a really hard time struggling with my hormones made me pretty angry mood swinging and I was awful to get along with when I was ovulating still going through that 2 1/2 years later lol
Still overcoming! But I would say I have overcome is letting others help me! I have a 3 year old and a 6 months old and my first PP was extremely difficult. I lost my dad.. it was covid season.. I went through a lot of changes. So I made it missions this time to let family help me so postpartum isn’t as hard this time around.
Favorite part of motherhood is literally feeling like a superhuman. If I am proud of anything in life is being a mom. 😭😭
so many comments and no one's leaving their ig handles 🤣
Happy belated Mother’s Day to you! It’s so sweet of you to think of other mama’s 😊❤
My biggest challenge has been learning how to take a step back and self regulate so that I can respond with grace to situations around my children - Breaking the cycle of toxic behavior that I saw growing up.
My biggest joy has been guiding my two little humans on this path of life and seeing their personalities develop as they learn new things and discover themselves. It’s amazing helping them learn and seeing those moments when things connect for them mentally. My daughter will be 4 on 6/11 and it’s wild to me that it’s been almost 4 years of being her mama. I wouldn’t trade it for the world. ❤ She’s so much fun and the sweetest little lady. My son is 1.5 years and is such a little love bug. They both bring me so much joy - even when they’re testing their boundaries. 😂
Lostkings802
For me, as an immigrant was and still are the most challenging part-to be far away from relatives/parents without any even tiny bit support/help.
And sure thing motherhood is just a biggest gift indeed, yes, I’m kinda alone but the same time while my lil one around-I’m never alone.
Thank you for all your video, for motivation, inspiration 🤗
Happy Mother’s Day to all mothers here
For me the hardest part was completely chsnge my life and my priority , evdn if i new it will be like this. By now my daughter is 2 already and i am slowly come back to normal life again. But its worth it, when you see her new adventure every day, its the best filling ever)
My biggest challenge is definitely finding time for myself and coming to the understanding and acceptance that I’m the default parent. Doesn’t mean my husband doesn’t want to help but that my son will always choose me right now. Trying to treasure the time I have with him!
Love your videos! You’re such a wonderful mama! 💙
@creationsbyali19
One of the biggest challenges for me as a mom is being patient and riding with the tantrums my adult brain just has a hard time dealing with it . And my favorite part of being a mother is how fun it is , so many fun places and activities I get to participate in with my kids . It’s like I’m a kid with them all over again ❤ Brendaeliza_
Thank you Brittany, your thoughtfulness is very admirable. One of the biggest challenges in motherhood is one I am still going through. I am a senior dental hygiene student in a very demanding program. My mother is my child care for my soon to be 3 year old, and she was recently diagnosed with stage IV ovarian cancer. My oldest brother came down from Alaska where he lives with his family since he's in the military. He offered to take care of my daughter in Alaska for me to focus on our mother, my studies, my national board exam, and husband. Although I am extrenmely grateful for him and his amazing wife, I cannot tell you how much I miss my sweet girl. She returns next week in time for my graduation on the 26th of May. Its been the longest 5 weeks of my life thus far, side note I’m currently 32 weeks pregnant. Now, onto the bright side of motherhood! The joy and true love she has blessed me with. Her giggles and kindness is intoxicating. Knowing I always have someone by my side is such a treat. Thank you again Brittany, I love your content, stay true to you, as thats what I love most about you. P.s. I don’t have an instagram…hopefully I can still be considered. Thanks doll.
Happy motherers day! One of the biggest challenges I've had to over come as a mother was last year I had to be the strongest for them and not let her know our world was falling apart. being abandoned by my girls father when I was 33 weeks pregnant with my 2nd baby girl. He had us drive across the country to relocate for work then told me he was in love with someone else there and left us homeless with nothing but a suitcase. Now a year later in our own apartment and everything they could ever need. I did it. My favorite thing is to be able to have all the moments with them and all the cuddles 💕 makes any hard days better.
I biggest thing I have had to overcome and honestly still working on is my worry/insecurity about “ doing something wrong “ and totally screwing up my kids and for my the best part is just witnessing the people that they are growing into how brave loving compassionate strong outgoing shy introverted loud there personalities all around looking at them I am just like wow I helped make those humans it’s crazy
@kaseyhowell24
Biggest challenge has been learning to manage my own emotions and deal with childhood trauma not to pass it on to my kids. No IG unfortunately.
Biggest challenge I overcame and still am is going through a separation when my son was 2. It has now been a year and I am still learning to navigate co parenting relationship with his dad. It was extremely hard for me as my son was through IVF and when we finally had him I thought my family would be complete. Now that he’s turning 4 in October its getting harder to explain the coparent dynamic. I am so grateful to be his mom and to be able to be called a mom as I never thought I would be. You inspired me in my journey through single motherhood and I want to thank you! I do not have social media for the entry
My biggest struggle as a mom has collectively been making time for myself. And the best thing about being a momma has been watching her grow and being able to help my daughter be confident and independent!!
@hairbyjessgrimes
Biggest challenge: getting over postpartum. It was a struggle to have my child be with other people. I needed to be with him at all times. I hated myself so much and I’m happier now.
Favorite part: watching my son grow and learn new things. Knowing I’m his best friend and he’s mine. I will also love him no matter what…. I don’t have instagram. ❤
Biggest challenge I overcome was not loving my myself and losing people are not good for me
One of my favorite part of being a mother just seen my kids grow and learn new things express their feelings
@lilacstro
Thank you! One of the challenges of motherhood was loosing myself as far as self care. To the point showering wasnt a priority lol in the very thick of it but fortunately that time passed. My favorite thing is just being present and witnessing my daughter’s growth and development rt before my eyes. i just love her so much and i feel so lucky to watch her grow🥰
It’s funny and sad how we moms struggle to figure out what to do with our free time when kids aren’t around lol it’s like not doing something is a waste of time but also we can’t just relax 😂
My baby boy Wes is almost 10 months now! Biggest challenge I overcame after becoming a mom is taking care of myself while taking care of my baby and finding some good rhythms. A lot of time my health (mental & physical) would be placed on the back burner and I’d find myself very burnt out and unhealthy. Now I have found some great rhythms that work to keep myself healthy so that I can be the best mom to my baby boy!
Losing my independence was hard but seeing my daughter gain her independence is amazing. Happy mother's day Brittany 🖤 @zombie.6666
My biggest challenge was becoming a full-time single mum of a 4 month old and 2 year old after fleeing domestic violence, which is also in a way the best part of motherhood now for me. Getting to spend every single day with my two beautiful boys and giving them the life they deserve ❤️
You have been such a big inspiration for me as a single mum. Thank you for being you ❤️❤️
@sophmaddern
My biggest obstacle has been learning to be a mom of 2 and splitting my time between my newborn and my toddler ! And the biggest blessing of being a mom is hearing my kids laugh and smile it literally melts my heart! 🥰
I found you when I was pregnant with my first and I’ve never looked back you helped me get through so many different stages in my now toddlers life ! Thank you ❤️ _onevillage
Feeding my babies was my biggest challenge. The fear of under feeding my babies was ever present and left me with severe anxiety. I was pumping around the clock, sleep deprived and have intrusive thoughts - therapy was the only way I overcame it. Rationally I know ‘fed is best’, but geez, I really couldn’t get past all the ‘breast is best’ messaging that was pushed so hard on this new mum.
One obstacle I am avidly working on is self regulating my emotions. As a 1st time mom who struggles w their mental health it has been challenging learning how to create healthy mindset even during difficult times. Motherhood has taught me self compassion and to give myself grace.
One of my favorite parts of motherhood is the relationship/bond I have with my son. It is different from any other relationship I’ve ever experienced. My son and I love to go on adventures (the park, zoo, museums)… making these memories together is so much fun and fulfilling. 💕
Good luck to you Brittany! & thank you for all of the advice & aesthetic you have brought to viewers like me! 💓
My biggest challenge as a mother rn is navigating a safe space and place for my toddler to explore not just in the home environment but also in the community. Without always telling them. “No” or “don’t do that” lol
Favourite thing about motherhood is I grew up without family really so I finally feel like I have family cause of my little girl
Biggest obstacle has been learning to regulate my own emotions as I have been through a lot of trauma growing up. You don’t realise how unregulated you are till you have a child
The hardest part of motherhood for me was finding out at 35 weeks pregnant that my son had hydrocephalus, I was petrified because in that moment I didnt know what that meant for him - fastforward 2 years hes an amazing wonderful little boy - yes theres lots of surgeries, but he overcomes them so well. Hes the biggest blessing and the best thing that has happened to me and my husband.
I want to spread his bravery and his smiles everywhere I go.
Happy mothers day 🌻
My biggest challenge I overcame in motherhood was learning that I was not my mother. I know a little bit of context is needed. My mother was not present and to this day still unavailable. I was afraid I wouldn’t be able to love my two beautiful daughters because I was never shown how to love. It took me 2 1/2 years to realize when someone told me they have never seen children so happy to know I have done my best and that they know I love them with all my heart. My favorite part about motherhood is the ability to see my babies grow into wonderful humans and grow their own personalities. ❤
Biggest challenge: Postpartum recovery! I’m going through it for the second time right now. My little boy is one month today, my daughter is 3. Both times were rough for me physically.
My favorite part of motherhood: I’ve really found myself in being a mom. I’m not as afraid to stand up for myself, especially when it’s something that affects my kiddos. I’m more confident, less worried about what people think of me, more kind to myself, more patient, I feel like I’ve learned so much. I love this version of myself since having become a mom. My littles make me better ❤
The biggest challenge was forsure feeling like a default parent// like I was giving up more than my husband! The most rewarding part is the love, the little hand reaching for mine, the wet kisses, the purpose! 🫶🏻 happy mothers day!
One of the biggest challenges was being pregnant with an almost 3 year old. I am not a good pregnant woman, I had pelvis issues throughout my pregnancy which made it so I had a hard time walking, couldn’t lift over 10lbs, couldn’t sit on the floor or anything which made it very difficult with a toddler. I felt like I wasn’t able to play with him like he wanted me to and of course he didn’t understand why. Once baby came out, it was a lot better. My partner is very good at grabbing baby and letting play with our son… my favourite thing about motherhood is the unconditional love that you have for your kids. It’s almost a surreal feeling. What a gift it is to be able to experience this type of love🥰
Thank you for the opportunity to win this giveaway🩷
My biggest challenge was facing my mental health problems. Dealing with severe anxiety, postpartum depression. Also trying to have a good relationship with baby daddy who also have a depression.
One of the biggest challenges I’m still learning to overcome is accepting my mommy body. Especially post-partum second baby, I’m having much more trouble navigating a new sense of self.
Challenge - finding myself again.
Favourite part - living life through their eyes and watching them develop their own unique personalities.
❤❤
Hi Brittany - I have been following you from down under and love your warm and honest content. My biggest challenge was to accept my true self, by facing my blind spots and accepting my limitations as a mother, wife and person. My biggest joy was to discover the enormous supply of love I had hidden and never knew how to let out.
The struggle is real! As a mother, self sacrifice was the biggest challenge. I’m an older mother in my forties and never thought motherhood was possible for me. I owned and operated my business of 20 years and when I had my daughter I was forced to close my doors. My priorities got dramatically shifted. I lost a lot of independence and sacrificed a life I worked so hard to create. I’d do it all over a million times because nothing better than being a mama and watching my beautiful daughter thrive.
One of my biggest challenges i overcame is getting pregnant right after another. It was so hard to give both of my babies attention as they were both so small. And here we are now my 3.5 year old and 1.5 year old living our best life 😂❤
@rosaalbaa__1
Biggest obstacle to overcome would be the process of finding out my daughter has Autism. She’s such a bright little girl! Watching my 3-year old son learn the different ways to play with her and watching him try so hard to protect her is one of the most amazing things to witness as a momma! Happy Mother’s Day! ❤
**I don’t have instagram or any social media but I do have an email 😆
Don’t expect to win, haven’t even seen the prize yet 😂 but i thought I would answer your question anyway!
Challenge - I split up with my kids dad in January. And deciding to split the family unit was by far the hardest thing I have ever done. There are so many unknowns and uncertainties. It was just a very hard pill to swallow. (Just to add - the kids have adapted amazingly. My daughter is so young she didn’t really seem to take on too much and my son claims he is “lucky because he has 2 houses” and I think their dad and I’s relationship has benefited from being apart)
My favourite part of motherhood - it’s a toss up!! I LOVED breastfeeding and having that experience with both of my babies (they both took to it like pros luckily). It was just such a special time that i can’t really describe in words. BUT, I also LOOOOOVVVVVEEEEEE watching them learn something new - to see their faces finally understand what I’ve been saying or watching their pride as they achieve something they have practiced is the best feeling in the world…..
ACTUALLY sorry I change my mind and can’t be bothered deleting- my favourite thing is when my son says “I love you mummy” or if I say it to my daughter she puckers up for a kiss -- there’s no better feeling in the world
Just watched the rest of the video - sorry I don’t have insta - WELL DONE TO THE WINNER!!!!!!
biggest challenge we had was lockdown ! proudest for our 18 months of breastfeeding @MummyMik
The biggest challange I’ve overcome as a mom was to learn how to thrive not just survive after the birth of each of my kids (2 under 2). Came across your videos when I was pregnant with my first during COVID and felt so isolated, so thank you for being with for me through it all!
Crainosynosis Surgery - Hardship
Watching my daughters life renew my faith in God- Best of all
(I don’t have Insta- Heads up if the lucky Mom)
My biggest challenge as a mom is dealing with my own emotional regulation and realizing how much my own emotions play into how I parent my daughter. She is super sensitive and so am I and I have been working on my patience with her. My favorite thing about being a mom is watching the world through my daughter’s eyes. It has taught me whole new appreciation for the little things in life
Biggest challenge for me has been not having a village. And my favorite thing is everything. I’m truly so proud of myself for overcoming every challenge by myself. 💗💗💗
One of my biggest challenges was how much my relationship with my partner suffered and working on it, although we are together and I couldn't consider it any other way, it is DIFFCULT. Also my favourite part is just seeing another human being grow and change, and how much love I can have for my child. ❤
First off I love you and your content and you are BEAUTIFUL! But the fit is 2000s unhinged and giving me ptsd 😂😂😂 🤍
My biggest challenge has been learning to adjust to life with 2 under 2 and finding time for me.
Learning that I am capable of being a good mom and capable of making good choices for my daughter. It’s so easy as a new mom to think that others know best because they’ve done it before but sometime you have to realize that no one else will share the bond that you have with your child - and that means you can trust in what your mom gut says! My favorite part is watching her turn into a tiny adult each day! ❤ P.S. I watched you during my pregnancy and just wanted to say THANK YOU. Unlike a bulk of the world I was scared to be a mom! But you brought me some peace of mind with how real and honest you were ❤ @mom_work_repeat
Hi Brittany! I completely agree about Mother’s Day being like bdays, wayy too much anticipation when if it was low key we’d all probably enjoy it more! Anywho, I don’t have IG but I’ll still answer your questions: the biggest challenge I’ve overcome in motherhood is not reacting (still not perfect) and trying to give a level response even when I’m tired, upset, and overstimulated. The thing I love most about motherhood is that it’s given me a purpose beyond what I had before, and I have a built-in best friend for the rest of my life. 🩷 Happy Mother’s Day. You are truly an incredible mom!
Biggest challenge, juggling a toddler and a baby lol Favorite part of being a mom is all the little moments and getting to know who my daughters are 🥰
@pineapple_jules
The biggest obstacle for me has been being a mom in survival mode due to the father being abusive. I finally left him in February of this year, and that has alpund me to finally be the mother Iwant to be, our child is 3 so it was a long road to get here now. The best parts have been just taking back control and watching how doing what was best for meself and my child was the absolute best decision I could have ever made. We are both growing, learning and blooming together with the new found peace we have now that we don't live with his father.
One of my biggest challenges has been breaking generational norms? Behaviours? If that’s that you’d call them. Parenting differently to how I was raised and finding the courage to advocate that.
My daughter and Arrow actually share the same birthday. Same year too! Your pregnancy content is what originally brought me to your channel 💜

Biggest struggle I overcame in motherhood was mom-guilt, started with not being able to breastfeed as my little one could not latch (thank you for your video btw on encouraging all mom's that at the end of the day what matters is baby is fed and happy, whether breast or bottle feeding) and also mom-guilt associated with pursuing your careers/dreams.
I'm so happy, and proud at the same time, to see how my daughter mature, grow up and become a wonderful person each day.
Happy mother's day to everyone, and thank you to all the mom's who's doing a wonderful and amazing job of taking care of your family! 🎉❤
🙋🏻♀️ Hi! 😊 Biggest challenge: Accepting that, as ready as I thought I was to be a mom, I wasn't even close to being prepared for all that comes mentally! I love to talk openly with new moms to let them know they are not alone. Love that you do that too! Momming is hard, but when you stop to take the time to enjoy the smallest things, that's when you'll find the biggest joys. Today it was watching my 3 yr old trying to remove an eye boogie. Random and extra adorable 😂
Happy belated Mother’s Day!
My biggest challenge is hoping I’m doing everything right for my kids! Definitely remind my self I’m the best mom for them and they just enjoy being with me. My favourite part is watching the world through their eyes.

The hardest challenge for me in motherhood has definitely been my losses. My first son Jude, passed when I was 34 weeks pregnant in 2020, and I've had 3 other losses. Death is so hard for everyone, but I truly think losing your child is the hardest thing to go through in life. It did show me how to love so much deeper, and how much motherhood is a blessing. I know I will hold them again.
My son, Gabriel Moses is now 2 and is our miracle boy. I am so blessed to have him in my life, we waited so long for him and prayed so hard. He truly is my greatest gift in motherhood, and seeing him grow more and more is so rewarding.✨️
I am currently 4 weeks pregnant and am just hoping with everything i have that this baby is healthy!
I started following you when I pregnant with Jude, and love seeing Arrow growing up because it reminds me of how big Jude would be.
As always, love you so much! You are a great mother.

@rjessicaxo I have an almost 4-year-old as well and have noticed the big shift on how independent he wants to be now. It's hard to accept that he is not a baby anymore, but it's exciting seeing him grow. Happy Mother's Day!
Biggest challenge, figuring out how to be a single parent and get back to work while not having any help from their father. 2&3 years old, it's been rough but it's working for now. It also makes every night cuddling before bedtime just the best part of every single day. Happy mother's day!
Love you sooo much!!! Learning everyday how to be a mom!!! Taking it day by day and trying to stay patient and positive. Christinarosepriore

One, u love your videos and have been watching since I was pregnant, with my now 3.5 year old! And two, my biggest challenge, similar to you, was learning how to be a single Mum, learning how to go from being a wife, to a Mum, to having days when you don’t have any label when your child is gone. My partner was also abusive, so learning to love myself and appreciate and admire self. I am so happy admire my strength and courage! My biggest blessing and favourite thing about my daughter, is her pure happiness and joy! The joy she brings me and brings the world around her!
Biggest challenge - single mom full time and working/co-parenting with a non cooperative co-parent. Best - literally everything else!

I love the yellow dress no belt.
Biggest challenge for me was breastfeeding, hands down. I struggled with so many problems and complications and that doesn’t even cover the pain :). But the best thing about being a mom is experiencing the unconditional love that I never knew existed until my little babe came along - she changed my life and is the brightest light in my life! Makes everything worth it :) @micheletran
@wesenick_photography One of the biggest challenges I overcame was the change in my own mindset and communicating that with my spouse. He is super go with the flow and I am becoming a lot more particular with things. I like a clean home because my little lives there, whereas he doesn't seem to mind. Getting on the same page has been a challenge but we are getting there! One of the best things is getting my little up in the morning. I don't usually get to because I work, so seeing her light up when I walk in her room in the morning is the best feeling (even if she does then start looking for her dad). She just turned one so I am excited to get to see her personality come out!
I’ve been watching you since your teens and am in awe of the wonderful woman and mom you’ve become.
One of my biggest challenges as a mom was (I’m now an empty nester) was navigating mental health issues with my daughter! Happy to say she’s thriving now but WHEW what a ride.
Hi there, on of the biggest challenges I've faced was having to be a single mother and still overcoming all obstacles.. My son is now 14 years old and I couldn't be more proud.. My favorite part of being a mom is definitely bringing a decent well mannered young man into this world.. From a very proud mom.. ❤
Hi I love your videos you’re a huge inspiration to me. I would love to win the giveaway because I never buy anything for myself I always buy everything for my kids it would be nice to win something for a change ❤️
My biggest challenge in mother hood that I’ve had to overcome would be having to stay home as a stay at home mama and letting my husband be the provider for our family. Before I had children I would work all the time and make a lot of money in the service industry. Being home all the time makes me go stir crazy sometimes. Dealing with a two year old and a 6 month old who is a Velcro baby and wants to be held 24/7 or he cry’s non stop makes me feel like I’m going crazy but I try my best to be the best mother to my children that I can be, I try everyday to give them everything they could ever need to thrive. Some days I miss working and having a social life and being able to do all the things I want. But I’m so thankful to have my two little fellas they are my world and make me so happy. It’s definitely a challenge everyday.
One of my favorite parts of motherhood is watching my sons grow and learn new things, getting to experience things with them that they’ve never experienced before like the beach, zoo, different events that we go to it’s always so amazing watching them get so excited for the smallest things. Hearing the first words, watching them take their first steps, first craws or when it comes to my two year old watching him learn his abc and signing them is the sweetest things. I just love experiencing life with them. It’s definitely the best part of motherhood 😊
Omg how fun!
One of my biggest struggles with motherhood is mom guilt!
I need to work to give them a good life but when I work I’m not with them. It’s such a hard cycle. But I know all my hard work will be worth it.
Also watching them grow up so quick is so exciting but soo heart wrenching 🥹😭
My absolute favorite thing about being a mom is just that unconditional overwhelming love and connection.
There is no love like the bond between a mother and her babies 🥹😭🩷
Overcoming the fear of leaving my daughter (passing away) and that no one will take care of her as I do. (Nachyhenriquez)
First of all I love your content, feels like you are super real with us!
What I had to overcome was really bad postpartum depression and anxiety, I feel like it kind of stole those newborn moments from me.
What I am most grateful about being a mommy is watching my little human grow and learn and being one of his favorite people. (For now) 😅
