Motherhood is an incomparable journey, filled with all kinds of mixed emotions that range from fear, frustration, compassion, happiness, excitement, over-protectiveness, pressure, and ultimately, the limitless breadth of love among many others. For new moms especially, the transition is life-changing as they assume new roles as mothers, and are now responsible for a new life.
