The intensity of love and worry: No one can fully prepare you for the intense love you will feel for your child, but with that love comes a great deal of worry. You may find yourself constantly worrying about your child's health, safety, and well-being. (Unsplash)

The lack of sleep: No one can fully prepare you for the amount of sleep deprivation you will experience as a mother. The first few months with a newborn can be especially difficult, as your baby may wake up several times during the night. (Unsplash)

The guilt: As a mom, you may constantly second-guess yourself and feel guilty about the decisions you make. It can be challenging to balance work, family, and personal time, and you may feel guilty about not being able to do it all. (Unsplash)
