Hi everyone! I'll be leaving to Melbourne for work this evening. At my recent age, I began to feel the instant urge to be a mother, myself. I'm sure this urge is a natural instinct to become a mother. I like babies. Each time I walk at shopping malls, whenever some parents carrying their babies, pushing the cradle, I will not missed the moments of watching those young families. :) How lovely those young couples and their new borned child. I know there are excitement welcoming new members to the family. But, how do new mother would feel when they will got tangled up with their busy working schedules and becoming a mother themselves?

Hi jack, This is better felt by women than men. But still there is a condition. If the baby is naturally born the mother would be more elated and proud than the one who gets a baby through cesarean method. May be I am not hundred percent correct.

I have recently heard that when the baby is conceived naturally, which is to go through the birth canal, it will be better for the baby because going through the birth canal 'switches on' the 'switches' needed for the workings of the brain. However there are situations that cannot avoid the ceasarean section so I would advise the mother to get a very well recommended obstretion (now how do you spell this?) so that the doctor does not recommend a c section unnessarily. In my case the doctor says that if I were to concieve my third child naturally, there would be profuse bleeding because the placenta did not migrate to the top, so now I wear a c section scar like a cool tattoo. I also thot that there are less deaths for mothers due to c sections. But I also heard that there are unnessary c sections done so like jackin has mentioned, you have to do a lot of reading on a lot of stuff when considering to conceive.

To momof3kids, My heart goes to you when you have to go thru ceasarean for your 3rd child soon. :) Do everyone know the day when the child is brought to the earth is also a day the mother have to suffer during the delivery???? To Krajibg, If you're married, tressure your wife more. :)

When I gave birth to my firstborn, I read that there are two kinds of mothers. One is the sort who feels guilty when she leaves her baby. The other is the sort that feels that when she leaves for work, she wont feel guilty from not screaming at the children. So its all up to what sort of mother you are. I belong to the first that I described but I do know that my sis in law belongs to the second. All of our children seem to turn out quite alright. My conclusion is that you have to let them know how much you love them everyday and hope for the best.

Hmm by the looks of the grandmother, it doesnt seem to bother her even if her grandchild doesnt love her huh? I feel sad for the grandmother. There is absolute joy to have a child. BTW I have come back to continue that by how much to let the child know that you love him/her is to have to always set your priority. Sometimes your career have to be behind but if your child loves you back, it will be all worth it.

hello jack, You will fully understand the urge and responsibilities of being a mother once you have your own baby/kid. I understand you have a lot of question hanging in your mind esp that you are a career woman (got job). You may think all the complication of having a baby and your work. But i am sure you can handle everything once you are in that situation. You will always find time for your baby and you will know how to divide your time either,from top priority to the lesser one. Have a great day

Hi, Sometimes I salute those mother who is working and at night has to takecare of their babies. For me, I am not sure I can do the same like them,as at night I may need more rest after working for whole day. I myself is a full time housewife and sometimes, I do feel tired of my life. Of course, I miss the working life too whereby I can earn income for myself and I can spend on what I like. But thinking of my young child, I have to be at home for him. Being a young mother, you really need to prepare yourself into the motherhood life, It will be totally a new life for you. Not easy!! When you see others, you may thought it is so fun to carry a baby and being a young mother. But it is not that easy actually. You need to learn alot in taking care of your baby,everything is new to you and somemore you need to spend time with your baby during night time and day time you need to rush to work. It can be tiring day.But of course, motherhood is full of challenging and you should enjoy every moment that you have with your baby and family.

Hello, Dear, Its good that you're asking this question. first of all, Motherhood? Its NOT a piece of cake. It maybe pretty to look at, but its not at all easy. I'm a stay at home mom right now. I have a 13 months old baby. I'm a new mom too. It was not easy. Yes, of course, It has its rewarding/happy moments. To sum up, Motherhood is not easy so before entering you should really be ready. financially, emotionally and physically. :)

LOL .. yeah.. unbelievable but its true. Yet, you know, Not all women who becomes a mom are ready financially, emotionally and physically :) So, in case you become a mom and you don't have those 3 ready, Don't worry coz you're not alone :)

most new moms don't always know how to manage in the first few days of motherhood but get the hang of it after awhile.

Yes jaiho2009 is correct, once you have your baby, if you are planning to have one, then everything will become clear. You will know exactly how to divide your time. By the sounds of it you are ready to be a parent, I used to smile at every baby that I walked past and I felt happy seeing them and that is when I knew I was ready, I now have a son who is almost two and a daughter that is 8 months old and if I had the money I would have many more.
