i suppose if i had to think of a really good piece of advice it would be ENJOY children while they are that.They grow up sooo quickly,savour every minute.someone once said to me if your little one wants time with you but your house is a mess so what it will still need tidying up in an hour where as the fun you could of had in that hour with your little one is gone forever.it is very true and i try to fill each day with at least a little quality time together.
as for motherhood coming naturally i think its a personal thing,some find it harder than others.dont let other people make you live up to their expectations of how a mum should be,you will have your own ideas of how things should be done and your natural instincts will kick in too.everyone makes mistakes and thats not a bad thing.theres loads of people on this forum who can help you at every stage and offer some great advice how you choose to use it is up to you really.
