But along with all the good things and happiness galore, many myths of motherhood surround women\u2019s lives which surely need to be cleared out at the earliest. Because breaking out of these myths would make the life much easier, happier and healthier for all the women. The major reason for these myths is the breaking of joint families into nuclear ones as now there are hardly any experienced elder nearby to help and guide the modern mothers.<\/p>\n<p>    <!--more-->    <\/p>\n<p>Following are 9 myths of motherhood.<\/p>\n<p><b>1. Pregnancy makes a woman to \u2018glow\u2019<\/b><\/p>\n<p>Not exactly is the case. Pregnancy actually takes a toll on the body and makes it prone to several kinds of pains, aches and sickness. It\u2019s very common to suffer from general tiredness, breathlessness, sore breasts, bad skin, heartburn and indigestion, morning sickness, groin joint pain, and back pain during pregnancy. A bad skin can never glow. During pregnancy, the body produces more oil and hence it is mistaken as glow which in reality is not the case. However, if you take care of your health properly you would reduce the chance of acquiring a bad skin. Pregnancy, especially if it is for the first time, fills a woman\u2019s heart with happiness. The glow can be associated with it to a smaller extent.<\/p>\n<p><b>2. Good mom would develop an instant bond with the newborn<\/b><\/p>\n<p>This is always not true. You may or may not develop an instant bond. So, in case you don\u2019t bond, avoid feeling guilty or confused. It is absolutely natural. After all, any new relationship takes time to bond. Hence be prepared for the same. There is no need to panic or to feel sad as eventually a bond would develop between the mother and the newborn.<\/p>\n<p><b>3. Within weeks the newborn baby would learn to sleep during the night<\/b><\/p>\n<p>No, it\u2019s not always the case. Most of the time, it takes years for babies to consistently sleep at night. Bottle fed babies sleep for longer time as compared to the breast-fed ones because breast milk gets digested more easily and quickly which makes the baby to wake up. So be prepared for it.<\/p>\n<p><b>4. You&#8217;ll feel love for your kids all the time<\/b><\/p>\n<p>Yes, every mother loves their kids to no end and does whatever she can for the wellbeing and happiness of her children but this is a fact too that there are bound to be such moments and situations when she would not have that lovey-dovey happy feeling. Constant sleepless nights and new commitments would make life a little tough. The things are tougher if you are a working mother. At times you would find it really difficult to manage everything. If the child is too adamant and naughty, you are bound to get irritated, angry and frustrated. It is also a tough task to handle kids who are in their teens. So don\u2019t be remorseful of your feelings.<\/p><div class=\"38520354a5201685ddf480eec688e1a7\" data-index=\"2\" style=\"float: none; margin:10px 0 10px 0; text-align:center;\">\n<script async src=\"https:\/\/pagead2.googlesyndication.com\/pagead\/js\/adsbygoogle.js\"><\/script>\r\n<ins class=\"adsbygoogle\"\r\n     style=\"display:block; text-align:center;\"\r\n     data-ad-layout=\"in-article\"\r\n     data-ad-format=\"fluid\"\r\n     data-ad-client=\"ca-pub-9477973674766713\"\r\n     data-ad-slot=\"8885944693\"><\/ins>\r\n<script>\r\n     (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({});\r\n<\/script>\n<\/div>\n\n<p><b>5. It is easy to lose your baby-weight<\/b><\/p>\n<p>In the initial days you would be too much engrossed with all the care-taking of your child and would be least bothered about the shape and weight of your body. And that\u2019s the beauty of motherhood where all your attention and concentration is on the wellbeing of your child. So, next time when you see those celebrity mommies with super-skinny and sexy bodies, don\u2019t compare yourself with them and be sad. The fact is they have the access to all the expensive physical trainers, equipments and diets. Moreover, their children are under the care of full time nannies.<\/p>\n<p><b>6. A good mom balances it all<\/b><\/p>\n<p>This myth has made the lives of mothers tougher. It is absolutely not possible to equally manage your home, kitchen, job and of course your children simultaneously that too with precision. Striking a balance is almost nearly impossible. Accept the fact that you can\u2019t be perfect in just everything. It is better to know your limitations and to act accordingly. Understand your preferences and then proceed. Discuss with your partner and don\u2019t shy away from taking his help.<\/p>\n<p><b>7. Kids would love to have their mothers around all the time<\/b><\/p>\n<p>Kids love it when you  take out time for them from your busy schedule, but not always. Even they need their own space. Don\u2019t direct them all the time as they themselves would want to decide what games they should play and etc. Know that they enjoy their freedom to make up their own imaginative games. Do not rob their learning opportunities by sticking around them all the time.<\/p>\n<p><b>8. Motherhood is fully satisfying<\/b><\/p>\n<p>This is one of the most common myths but the fact is that it varies from person to person. After a while you might get bored of your daily schedules and thus there would be an urge to do something more in your life. If you don\u2019t feel fully satisfied out of your motherhood, don\u2019t feel guilty. Rather start doing what you love and want to do.<\/p>\n<p><b>9. It would not be difficult to maintain friendships<\/b><\/p>\n<p>Once you become a mother, your priority changes. But, not all your friends would understand it, nor you would have the time or interest to bother about it. Your true friends would be there for you and in your journey you would make friends with many new people especially who are mothers and to be mothers.<\/p>\n<div class=\"38520354a5201685ddf480eec688e1a7\" data-index=\"3\" style=\"float: none; margin:10px 0 10px 0; text-align:center;\">\n          <p><a id=\"link-15\" href=\"\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">\r\n            <img decoding=\"async\" style=\"width:100%;height:auto;\" id=\"img-15\" src=\"\"><\/a><\/p>\r\n            <script>\r\n            var xmlhttp = new XMLHttpRequest();\r\n            xmlhttp.onreadystatechange = function() {\r\n              if (this.readyState == 4 && this.status == 200) {\r\n                var myObj = JSON.parse(this.responseText);\r\n                document.getElementById(\"link-\"+myObj.id).setAttribute('href',myObj.url);\r\n                document.getElementById(\"img-\"+myObj.id).setAttribute('src','https:\/\/fetch.drprem.com\/\/uploads\/'+myObj.image);\r\n              }\r\n            };\r\n            xmlhttp.open(\"GET\", \"https:\/\/fetch.drprem.com\/\/api\/Ads\/15\", true);\r\n            xmlhttp.send();\r\n            <\/script>\r\n        \r\n        <style>\r\n        *{box-sizing:border-box}.top-container{display: grid;grid-template-columns: auto auto auto;}.column{float:left;width:100%;padding: 0 7.5px 15px 7.5px;}.row{margin:0 -5px}.row:after{content:\"\";display:table;clear:both}@media screen and (max-width: 600px){.top-container{display: block;grid-template-columns: unset;}.column{width:100%;display:block;margin-bottom:20px}}.card{text-align:center;}.card_image img{width:100%}.card_body{padding:15px}.card_title{font-size: 14px;line-height: 19px;text-decoration: none;text-align:left;color: #333;}.card-heading{text-align: left;margin-bottom: 25px !important;}\r\n        <\/style>\r\n        <div class=\"row todays-top\">\r\n            <h3 class=\"card-heading\"> Recent Articles: <\/h3><div class=\"top-container\" id=\"todays-top\">\r\n        <\/div>\r\n        <\/div>\r\n        <script>\r\n            var xmlhttp = new XMLHttpRequest();\r\n            xmlhttp.onreadystatechange = function() {\r\n            if (this.readyState == 4 && this.status == 200) {\r\n            var myObj = JSON.parse(this.responseText); \r\n            myObj.forEach(function(item) {\r\n            document.getElementById('todays-top').innerHTML += '<div class=\"column\"><div class=\"card\"><div class=\"card_image\"><a href=\"'+item.url+'\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"'+item.image+'\"><\/a><\/div><div class=\"card_body\"><a href=\"'+item.url+'\"><h3 class=\"card_title\">'+item.title+'<\/h3><\/a><a href=\"'+item.url+'\">Read more<\/a><\/div><\/div><\/div>';\r\n            });\r\n            }\r\n            };\r\n            xmlhttp.open(\"GET\", \"https:\/\/fetch.drprem.com\/api\/Drprem_blogs\", true);\r\n            xmlhttp.send();\r\n            <\/script>\r\n        \r\n        \r\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<style>\r\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t.videoWrapper{position:relative;padding-bottom:56.25%;height:0}.videoWrapper iframe{position:absolute;top:0;left:0;width:100%;height:100%}\r\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/style>\r\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"videoWrapper\" id=\"video_7\">\r\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\r\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\r\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<script>\r\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tvar xmlhttp = new XMLHttpRequest();\r\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t            xmlhttp.onreadystatechange = function() {\r\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t            if (this.readyState == 4 && this.status == 200) {\r\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t                var myObj = JSON.parse(this.responseText);\r\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t                document.getElementById(\"video_\"+myObj.id).innerHTML = myObj.embed_video_code;\r\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t            }\r\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t            };\r\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t            xmlhttp.open(\"GET\", \"https:\/\/fetch.drprem.com\/api\/Videos\/7\", true);\r\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t            xmlhttp.send();\r\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/script>\r\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n<\/div>\n\n<div style=\"font-size: 0px; height: 0px; line-height: 0px; margin: 0; padding: 0; clear: both;\"><\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Motherhood is considered to be the best phase in any woman\u2019s life.
