Side Effects Of Being A Mother

As you get used to being a mother, you'll have to bear with some of the following side effects.

• You become a very fast eater and can contest and win the All India Eating competition. You'll learn to eat your breakfast/lunch/dinner/snacks at top speed because you have to finish it off in between the time when your little one is sleeping or is not crying.
• Eight hours of sleep at a stretch becomes a thing of the past. Now you are up and awake the moment you feel your little one stirring.
• Your days don't start and end. They are just unending.
• You can no longer stand steady. You get so used to swinging your baby to sleep, that every time you stand up for something, you automatically start swinging.
• Despite having several babies around you, you will always recognize your baby's sound (thank god for that!)
• Even when your baby is fast asleep, your ears ring with your baby's cries. You will be peeping into the bedroom every 4 minutes to check whether the little one has woken up.
• After being busy day and night, if you get some time off because your baby is asleep, you'll probably keep wondering what to do!
• You won't fit in any of your earlier dresses. You can only wonder how you fitted before and whether you will ever get back to that size (which probably is not a possibility at all.)
• When you start singing to your little one, you'll forget the lyrics of the songs that you know by heart.
• Sometimes, you are at your wits end thinking of new ways to entertain your little one.
• At times, you get so frustrated with every thing around you that you may take it all out on your innocent little one and after it's done, you'll feel extremely guilty about it.
• Your schedules revolve around the little one's and you'll get totally frustrated and angry when people try to disrupt that.
