For all the moms out there

Fed up with hearing the miseries of motherhood? Need a few reminders about why it’s all worthwhile? Lack of sleep, the demands of a crying baby, the endless feeding and changing can make it easy to lose sight of the sheer joy of parenting. Take heart and count your blessings-here are eight very good reasons to look on the bright side.

1. The first thing you can celebrate is the end of being pregnant!
At last that great lump you were hulking around has gone and you’ve got your own body back again. Dust off your old jeans, slip on your favourite T-shirt-it’s great to race around in clothes you’ve only looked at for nine months. If you were nauseous you can now enjoy all those taboo treats like coffee again-in moderation of course!
