Doctors scare us into submission ... unless you are fortunate enough to get a common sense one, like I did. Doc Mormal was awesome. He was good with all my decisions and gave me great advice and was always encouraging. I don't know if there are many Doc Mormals out there any more.... Blessings! and prayers!!
Doctors shouldn’t make you feel less than with their made up standards, and they certainly are not an authority on whether you are a good mom!
I can relate to the pressure I put on myself though. I will go above and beyond for my littles every single day, and yet the 1 time during that day where I raise my voice because I am in the middle of 3 things at once makes me think “why do I even bother, I’m such a horrible person!” It’s wild how I am programmed to recognize the bad more than the good, and be tempted to spiral and tell myself lies.
It is so true that we all worry if we are a good mom. You concluded well - pray for wisdom, do your best, and let God be your guide. As moms, we all make mistakes. But I am grateful for the times God covered them in His grace and they turned out well :)

That's so tough! Thank you!

I can totally relate! Thanks for sharing

Thanks Joanna! Glad it resonated 😊
A good reminder. Will save to share with and encourage Mom- friends. There is just something about the “truth setting us free”!
Glad you enjoyed it! Yes! Couldn't have said it better myself!
