When you become a mother it is the best thing in the world but for some people it can be hard because when you become a mother there are things that you have to put on hold, and stop. You are taking a risk on being a single mother its sorry to say that even when you are married now you have husbands walking out on there wives I mean this world is crazy, when you become a mother it seems as if all responsiblities fall on your shoulders, and women please stop thinking that if you get pregnant by a man that he will stay because that is not true they will run because you are now bringing more responsibility into their lives that they are not ready for, its almost like you are taking a big risk, thats why you have to get your stuff together for you so if anything whether who stays or goes you will be ok.

it's been 10years now since i was a mother. When i learn that i was pregnant 10yrs ago i was pretty scared. But as my son grew i've learn many things and learn what mother is all about. It's not easy especially your child got sick, or ask questions that are so hard to answer. But i enjoy coz one thing i promise to myself is that i will do my best to have my child explore what it has to be explore. And promise that i will always be on his side especially the day they needed a mother and a friend.

I know that is right I am so glad that you made it through, because that is another thing that makes us strong is the things we go through and how we got through it.

a lot of people get scared when they fall pregnant even if it's planned.. maybe it's a hormonal thing?

I still have moments where I question myself as a parent, but it's only because I want the best for my child. I think it's only natural for moms to worry.

I’m not a mother.. but I hope some day to be. I can’t wait. I know people get scared and anxious etc.. but I just love children, and pain never bothered me, nor does sickness, the main reasons why pregnancy scares people.. so I think I’m ready and willing for when the time comes!! :) Everyone says I’ll be a great mum because I already have that nature about me. I look after everyone, and I instinctively know what to do with kids.. I think some people just have that instinct in them. But others can learn :) Thankfully it's something that can be taught :)

Yes, I agree. The mothering instinct is something that occurs naturally in some of us. And for those of us who seemingly learn to be a good mother, this just simply means that you had the skill. It just needed to be encouraged.

It is not easy being a great mother.You have to really take good care of your child.You put all your love to them and wish them to be a great person after they grow up.It's like taking a big risk nurturing a child.So i say moms are great person.I love my mom and i would treat my son as my mom did to me.I do love her.

I can relate to this post. Being a mother to me, means doing things differently because you are taking someone else's needs into consideration. I have had to work harder and think twice about everything I do since I had my daughter. But I would not trade it for anything.

Kids are the best gift for mothers . But some mothers' love may go wrong and their love sometimes seem to be heavy and sad .And they hurt themselves in the end .Sadly , at the same time ,the kids can't open their wings freely because such love.So I think we should treasure our kids craefully .
