Hello Mamas, Mamas-to-be and Mamas who are not sure if they want to be Mamas yet,
You might wonder what is this all about. A Mommy support group or another “lets checkout my life as a mom ” blog?
Let me explain… when I became a mom I had no idea what was coming. Don’t get me wrong, I was prepared physically and mentally but even with all these preparations, motherhood hit me so hard, that I still can feel my butt from the impact on the ground.
One day (or night. I don’t even remember it anymore after sleep deprivation) when I looked in the mirror; I didn’t recognize the woman who was looking back to me. She had fizzy wild unbrushed hair, dark circles under her eyes, the shade of her skin was so light that the white wall in background seem to be dark and the expression on her face was a mix of surprise and devastation. Yes, I was finally mutated to a zombie. 
My life, like I knew before was finally over. Over in terms of, I started functioning during the day, night and even in the twilight zone. The most exciting talk on the phone with my husband was about the excremental of our little one and a „short“ trip to grocery store was like a 5K marathon run. I became fully aware that I was a Mom when I went quick to the store (by myself, how excited was that) when I saw a vomit spot on my shirt and I did not even care. The truth is, it freaked the shit out of me that I, the fashionista from overseas, did not even care for make up or high-heels anymore. I simply didn’t give a shit anymore what other people thought about me. I converted slowly into a zombie Mama
Sounds familiar?! Now you wonder what differs my blog to all the other ones out there? Motherhood isn’t a walk in park you may say or we don’t need another Mommy who tells me „it’s all worth it in the end“. You are right, it isn’t a walk in the park and It is definitely worth it BUT the naked truth which happens before, while and in between of motherhood, nobody will tell you.
Be honest, if you are mom like me and you had a vaginal birth (not a natural birth, which is a different and there are moms who freak out if you say : hey it’s all the same……hmm, maybe I will right something about it) nobody really tells you „Don’t look down there with a mirror“ 2 weeks after you gave birth to a mini watermelon head. Yes, they tell you „after 6 weeks you have forgotten all the pain“! A shit have I!!! (Maybe it’s because I have written everything down just to make sure that I don’t forget it) Hell, even after 3 month postpartum I still had problems with doing my big business and needed to take stool softener.
To answer your question, this blog should help and inform you with the naked motherhood truth what really can happen. I might go into products I used (and no I don’t get paid for saying product names, unfortunately) and which really and truly helped me. This blog and my articles will be my point of view without flowering anything up or putting glitter on the truth.
Yes, I’m a Zombie-Mama trapped in a world where nagging about motherhood leads to malignant glances but I AM a Mama and proud of it.
Now, enjoy my honesty and I can’t wait to see all of you Zombie Mamas.
