5 Myths about Motherhood

5 Common Myths About Motherhood

Becoming a mom brings a lot of advice from friends, family, and the internet. At Sienna Women’s Health we know it can feel confusing when everyone seems to have a different opinion. Let’s clear up five common myths about motherhood so you can feel more confident on your own journey.

Myth 1: Motherhood is only for women who are ready

Many believe motherhood is reserved for those who feel completely prepared and confident. The truth is, no one is ever fully ready, even if the pregnancy was planned. Motherhood is a learning process, and every mom learns as they go. It's about adapting, growing, and discovering strengths you never knew you had. Embrace the journey with all its unknowns, and remember that readiness comes from experience, not from waiting for a perfect moment.

Myth 2: Babies are expensive

This is only partially true. While certain baby items can be expensive, many essential needs can be met without breaking the bank. Consider secondhand options for clothes, gear, and toys, as babies outgrow items quickly. Borrowing from friends or family, and utilizing community resources, can also significantly reduce costs. Focus on what’s truly necessary for your baby’s safety and well-being, rather than feeling pressured to buy every trendy item. Smart budgeting and resourceful shopping can make a big difference.

Sienna Women’s Health has plenty of community resources to help you get the financial and material help you need for your baby. We can aid you in receiving help for groceries, healthcare, housing, baby and maternity materials, job assistance and childcare. We can also walk you through financial programs to support you and your child, such as tax incentives and the WIC program.

Myth 3: If you don’t feel maternal, you won’t be a good mom

It can feel like some women were made to be moms. They had tons of younger siblings, babysat throughout high school and just seem to know things about kids. But the reality is that maternal feelings can develop over time, and they look different for every woman. It's okay if you don't feel a strong maternal connection right away; bonding is a process. Focus on nurturing your baby and yourself, and allow the relationship to grow naturally. Love and care are what truly matter.

Myth 4: Everything Changes When You Have a Baby

There’s no denying it: life does change significantly after having a baby, but it doesn't mean your entire identity or pre-baby life disappears. While your priorities will shift, it's possible to maintain connections, hobbies, and career and educational aspirations. It’s about finding a new balance and integrating your role as a mother into your existing life. Seek support from your partner, family, or friends. Life doesn’t stop when you have a baby, and neither do your dreams. It’s possible to still achieve your goals with your little one next to you.

Myth 5: I Can’t Have Fun Anymore as a Mom

This myth often implies that all your leisure activities and personal pleasures must end once you become a mother. While spontaneous outings might become less frequent, fun simply evolves. Most mothers will say that their children provide so much entertainment and that there’s so much fun in being a mother. In fact a 2023 study of almost 30,000 people showed that 82% of parents find parenting enjoyable most of the time! It’s important to redefine what "fun" means to you in this new phase of life and to actively seek out opportunities for joy and relaxation. Leaning on your support system for babysitting help will also allow you to do the things that you enjoyed pre-baby too, like going to concerts or taking a day for yourself.
