After she shared this series of stories to social media she received an outpouring of support from other new mum who are experiencing the same. In particular, many were thankful that she was sharing the reality of what the day-to-day looks like juggling motherhood alongside a busy schedule.

She said; “Thanks for all the messages. I know so many of you get it.”

“Just because we are honest about the struggle of the juggle, doesn’t mean we’re not grateful for what we have or that we don’t adore our kid (kids) but it’s important to reflect the reality of motherhood/parenthood on here too as Instagram is a bullsh*t rich zone at times, especially when it comes to postpartum, work/life balance.”
