\u201cIt\u2019s All So Hard,\u201d Denise Zimba Gets Real About Her Challenges With Motherhood! Denise has always kept it real and often made her seem too blunt for some people\u2019s liking but that has never stopped her. <\/strong><\/p>\n

Even now in motherhood, Denise continues to be honest with her journey and some of the challenges she\u2019s encountered so far. In a candid post to applaud all mothers for doing their best, Denise describes motherhood as \u201cthe most beautiful and exhausting experience ever\u201d.<\/p>\n

\u201cI cry at least every second day because I am exhausted and overwhelmed. I\u2019m learning my baby and she is learning me, my husband, and the world she now exists in. Im not happy with how I look. My body does not feel like mine, my feelings bounce from wall to wall, I suffer from anxiety and panic attacks. I get overwhelmed every time my baby cry\u2019s, I rush through everything, I have extreme guilt when I get the chance to leave the house on my own and try to collect myself or attempt a gym session. It\u2019s all so hard,\u201d the new mom shared.<\/p>\n

Denise also shared the joys of motherhood that makes her smile and all worth it. \u201d The days when I open myself to a positive outlook, I am able to truly enjoy the little things in life. When my baby poos the right color and texture poo, OMG! Winning! When she throws up on me or wakes up at 3am to have a conversation in her \u2018gibber gabber language\u2019 for another 2 and a half hours, instead of just crying in that time, PROGRESS! When she smiles back at me or wraps her arm around my neck when I pick her up \u2026 I fall into tiny glorious pieces,\u201d she gushed. <\/p>\n

She ended off saluting all mamas saying, \u201cYou are doing the best that you can. Well done. ?.\u201d <\/p>\n

The most beautiful and exhausting experience ever \u2026 Some woman thrive with joyous ease into motherhood, all 15% of you. For the rest of us \u2026 I commend your bravery, not only birthing an enormous responsibility, but letting go of your old self, letting go of putting yourself first, and birthing the mother who you are still getting to figure out and trying to recognize with every glance in the mirror. This new person you know you have to remind everyday that she needs to hold on and keep pushing through, as all things shall pass. I cry atleast every second day because I am exhausted and overwhelmed. I\u2019m learning my baby and she is learning me, my husband, and the world she now exists in. Everyone is crying and exhausted all the time ?. Im not happy with how I look. My body does not feel like mine, my feelings bounce from wall to wall, I suffer from anxiety and panic attacks. I get overwhelmed every time my baby cry\u2019s, I rush through everything, I have extreme guilt when I get the chance to leave the house on my own and try to collect myself or attempt a gym session. It\u2019s all so hard ? BUT, what I am learning about life and the universes language and DNA, is amazing. The days when I open myself to a positive outlook and understanding, I always recognize something extraordinary. I am able to truly enjoy the little things in life. When my baby poos the right color and texture poo, OMG! Winning! When she throws up on me or wakes up at 3am to have a conversation in her \u2018gibber gabber language\u2019 for another 2 and a half hours, instead of just crying in that time, PROGRESS! When she smiles back at me or wraps her arm around my neck when I pick her up \u2026 I fall into tiny glorious pieces. BUT ITS ALL SO FREAKEN HARD! So well done to you mamas that follow through, with every child you birth. You are more than just a human being, YOU ARE A GOD. You reflect honor, grace, light, love, sacrifice, commitment, strength, and a POWER that you yourself cannot possibly comprehend! You just get it done! And for that, I salute you. You are doing the best that you can. Well done. ?<\/p>\n
