I didn't have my first child until I was 40. I actually learned about motherhood from management.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
At 41 and a half weeks pregnant, I started to have second thoughts about becoming a mother.
I realized relatively early on that I had no desire to be a mother whatsoever. I actually love children, but specifically other people's.
I was a single mother when my child was little.
It wasn't through choice that I became a mum at 36. I wanted to be a young mum but things never worked out for me.
Motherhood is wonderful, but it's also hard work. It's the logistics more than anything. You discover you have reserves of energy you didn't know you had.
I love motherhood. I certainly wasn't aware of any mothering instincts until I had babies. I wasn't a person who desperately wanted to have kids, but you don't get it until you do it, and, suddenly, this nurturing instinct exists.
I came to parenting the way most of us do - knowing nothing and trying to learn everything.
I don't remember my life before I had children.
Motherhood was my career. I'm totally satisfied with that.
I had my first baby at twenty-one.
