Motherhood is the hardest, most tiring, most heartbreaking, but rewarding job there is!

Be prepared for constant challenges (crying, teething, sleep problems, bed wetting, friendship breakups, chicken pox, getting bullied at school, telling lies) it goes on and on!

I would say enjoy them while they are little!! They grow up so fast, and they get so very complicated when they are little people as opposed to bubbas.

The other piece of advice I would give would be to listen to your children. Make time for them, and really listen to them. They are people too.

As for birth, I remember my mum saying to me that it is a positive pain, and each contraction brings you closer to holding your baby. I took a 00000 sized Bonds Grosuit into the labour room with me to use as a visualisation - to help me focus on something other than pain, .

Best of luck for March!!!
