There is nothing easy about being a mother. It is the toughest job in the world. | CFColinaINQ

That’s my life there. And this is my story: Getting pregnant early threw me for a loop. I had been careless at a time when I had been nothing but carefree. My bank account wasn’t ready for costly pedia visits, let alone for a secure future for my daughter. I wasn’t able to steel myself for years of soiled diapers and incomprehensible crying because it really wasn’t part of my plan. I didn’t think I was ever going to be ready for the enormity of raising a child.

Months after I’ve come to terms that I was indeed giving up chase for the life I wanted for the life I was dealt with and ultimately accepted, an opportunity for me to enjoy best of both worlds—to continue living my dream as a sports writer—presented itself. I couldn’t say no, even if it meant the end of morning playtime and afternoon naps with my little princess.

But every time I would bury myself in work, times that I would be so swamped that my daughter doesn’t even cross my mind, an uneasy feeling settles in my gut: I’m a horrible mother. And when you spend more time at your office desk than at home, that feeling is magnified by the littlest of things. When I find her rolling over with such ease and I don’t even have a clue when she started doing it.

Celebrity moms who proudly embrace their stretch marksBeing a mom is one of the greatest achievements a woman can have. After all, with all the hardships and challenges of being one, any woman should be proud. However, it also causes one of the most drastic changes in a person's body: stretch marks. While most people, especially with the rise of social media, are quick to note the changes brought about by pregnancy, such as weight gain, it also puts unrealistic pressures on women that they have to look a certain way. Many moms choose to ignore these comments and celebrate their postpartum bodies instead. Celebrity moms, for
