I have changed. I have calmed down considerably. I was an extremely blunt person who would not think for a second before blasting off anybody. All that came down the moment I realised that I was pregnant. They say that the baby is happy if the mother it. My thoughts and feelings became more and more positive which obviously brought about a positive change in my personality. Thinking twice once for myself and again for my daughter before doing anything ensured that I didn't jump on to conclusions. It made me a lot more tolerant. Its the most amazing gift of motherhood, to be able to love unconditionally and to be loved back even more unconditionally. Mothers Rock !!!!

I must say after becoming a mother I have changed a lot. I don't go out as much, I don't drink as much, and I definately look at life a lot different. My children are my first priority. they eat before I eat, they are cleaned up before I am, I will sacrifice everything just to make sure they are taken care of even if it means i have to stay home from work when I have no one to care for them.

I think I've become a better person after being a mom. I'm not selfish, I put my family first and I'm more considerate to others. A responsible mother can only become a better person after becoming a mother. If you're a good mother, it's in your blood to become a better person.

it is true, once you become a mother you will be more mature in a way that you will realized a lot of things because you need to be more responsible now.,before i used to be a easy go lucky person., whatever i want i just go with it., i go to bar every night, drink with my friends, shopping, going to a movie house and not even thinking about the money that im spending.,well, now its different.,i need to control myself in buying something that i really don't need and i always think first of my daughter before me., and it is a good idea!

When you become a mother your whole life change. I noticed that it has a big chnages on myself and on my attitude towards life. I am more mature and more positive in life. But sometimes i never avoid to be a big kid. But when i see my son smiling on me i get back to the right track. Happy posting.

as a matter of fact i have become a better person. i've become selfless and i thought about my family a lot before i even think about myself. i've become more tactful and i watched my language. there's a tenderness in me that was unearthed and i've become very patient.
