Life with Momma Herz, Lucena (2026)

12/04/2026

“Hindi ito hate—real talk lang.”

Nanay: expected maging perfect.
Tatay: nag-effort ng konti, hero na agad.

5 minutes na pag-aalaga?
“Ang galing mong tatay!”

Pero yung nanay na 24/7?
Normal lang. Walang applause.

Mas tutok pa sa barkada at cellphone
kaysa sa anak.
Kailangan pang utusan bago kumilos—
para sa bagay na obligasyon niya naman talaga.

Hindi unfair—sobrang unfair.

“Why mommy… you’re not coming to play with me?”
“Why mommy… you’re not giving me a bath?”
“Why mommy… you’re not feeding me?”
“Why mommy… you’re not sleeping with me?”
“Why mommy… you always carry the baby?”
“Why mommy… you don’t listen when I call you?”
“Why mommy… you keep saying ‘wait’ to me?”
“Why mommy… you don’t hold me like before?”

“Why mommy… did I do something wrong?”
…then the one that shattered me—
“Why mommy… you're getting angry on me?”

I heard every word.
I hear it even now… in my head… on repeat.
While I’m holding my newborn, my first baby is standing there…
waiting for me.
And I can see it.

That confusion.
That hurt.
That silent question in your eyes—

“Where did my mommy go?”
And I don’t have an answer…
just this breaking heart.

I want you to know this…
I am learning.
Learning how to hold you both without hurting you both.
Learning how to love you both without making either of you feel less.
Learning how to be enough… even when I feel like I’m failing.

Right now…
my body is tired.
My nights are sleepless.
This tiny newborn needs me every minute… every second…
and I’m trying to survive it while not losing you.

But listen to me, my baby…
I will be your mommy the way I always was.
I will come back to you, hold you, play with you, love you loudly again.
Not less.
Never less.

You are my first love.
My forever child.
And no matter how full my arms are…
my heart will always have the same place for you.❤️
Always.❤️
Forever.❤️

Mama…
if you’re going through this—
you are not alone.
This guilt, this ache, this feeling of being torn in two…
so many of us carry it quietly.
And still…
we show up.
We try again.
We love harder.
Even on the days we feel like we’re failing—
we are still the safe place our children need.
You’re not a bad mom.
You’re a mother learning to love two with one tired heart…
and that is strength, even if it feels like breaking.❤️

To my precious firstborn… 🥹

Please never think I am angry with you. I’m not. Some days, I’m just very tired.

Life can feel heavy — the chores, the endless tasks, caring for your little sibling, and trying to be the best mother I can for both of you.

You and your little sister are my world. My heart doesn’t divide — it grows to hold both of you with the same, endless love.

If I ever raise my voice, it’s never because I love you less. It’s because I want to guide you, protect you, and help you become the kind, beautiful person I know you are.

You were my first love, the one who made me a mother for the very first time. That love is forever yours.

And your little sister is another part of my heart — loving her does not take away from you. My love doesn’t shrink; it only grows.

If you see me quiet or exhausted, know it’s just a pause. I need a small breath before I come back to you with open arms, kisses on your forehead, and a heart full of pride.

You will always be my first light — the beginning of my motherhood, and a love that will never change. 💛

Hindi madali maging mama ng dalawang bata lalo na magkaibang stage. Pero kapag nakita mong mahal na mahal ng ate yung baby sister niya… parang nawawala lahat ng pagod. 🥰

One thing I will never, ever regret in this life…
is becoming a mother to my children.

Hindi man naging madali ang lahat.
There were sleepless nights, silent tears, doubts, pagod na hindi maipaliwanag.
There were days I questioned myself, my strength, even my worth.

But when I look at my children —
their smiles, their laughter, the way they call me “Mommy” —
I know in my heart… they are my greatest blessing.

They didn’t ruin my life.
They gave it meaning.
They didn’t stop my dreams.
They became my reason to dream bigger.

Of all the choices I’ve made,
they are the one thing I will never regret.

To my babies,
thank you for choosing me to be your mama. 🤍

— A proud and grateful mother

Postpartum + Stress + Walang Support =

Tahimik na laban na hindi nakikita ng iba.

Yung nakangiti ka kahit ubos ka na.
Yung mahal na mahal mo baby mo pero overwhelmed ka pa rin.
Yung kulang sa tulog, nagpapagaling pa katawan mo, tapos ang bigat pa ng emotions na minsan di mo ma-explain.

Minsan pa, instead na comfort ang marinig mo, masasakit na salita pa:
“Ang arte mo.”
“Dapat masaya ka lang.”

Pero mas masakit yung pakiramdam na parang wala kang masasandalan.
Walang nagtatanong kung okay ka pa.
Walang nag-ooffer tumulong.
Walang nakakapansin na tahimik kang nalulunod habang inaalagaan mo lahat.

Kasi ang totoo —
ang may masasandalan isn’t a luxury.
Need siya.
Kailangan ng nanay ng support. Kailangan nila ng pahinga. Kailangan nila ng understanding.

May days na strong ka.
May days na gusto mo umiyak bigla.
May days na kinukwestyon mo sarili mo kung sapat ka ba — kahit binibigay mo na lahat.

Postpartum isn’t just recovery.
Adjustment siya.
Sacrifice.
Survival.

Sa lahat ng mama na pinagdadaanan ’to na kulang sa support:
Hindi ka mahina.
Hindi ka madrama.
Tao ka.
At deserve mo ng taong kakampi mo — hindi yung nanghuhusga. 🤍

Kapag dalawa ang anak mo, natututo kang magstretch ng sarili—
pero mas lalo mong natutunang maghati ng puso sa paraang walang naghanda sa’yo.

Isa, kailangan ng tulong sa homework.
Isa, kailangan ng tulong para makatulog.
Isa, gustong magkuwento.
Isa, gusto lang magpahinga sa yakap mo.

At kahit paano, pareho ka nilang kailangan sa iisang sandali.

May mga pagkakataong napapaisip ako…
Nagmamadali ba ako sa isa para mapatahan ang isa?
May naramdaman ba silang maliit na hindi ko napansin dahil inaayos ko ang mas malaking problema?
Naramdaman ba nilang pareho ko silang nakikita ngayon?

Ang pagmamahal sa dalawang anak ay hindi paghahati ng pag-ibig.
Ito ay pagmamahal na may mga patong.
Abala ang mga kamay mo,
pero ang isip mo’y sabay na nagbabantay sa dalawang munting mundo.

May mga araw na parang balanse ang lahat.
May mga araw na parang pilit mo lang kinakaya.

Pero ito ang lagi kong paalala sa sarili ko:

Hindi nila kailangan ng perpektong nanay na pantay ang hatian.
Kailangan nila ng nanay na palaging nagmamahal.

Kailangan nilang makita na nagsisikap ako.
Na naroon ako.
Na kahit magpalit man ang atensyon ko,
hindi kailanman nagbabago ang pagmamahal ko.

Maaaring hati ang oras ko.
Maaaring ubos ang lakas ko.
Pero ang pagmamahal ko?

Mas lalo lang dumadami. 🤍

3 months postpartum and breastfeeding life be like: pagod pero proud 🤱🥹
May mga gabing puyat, may araw na masakit, at may moments na mapapaisip ka kung tama pa ba ginagawa mo.

Pero sa bawat latch ni baby, reminder na kinakaya mo — kahit tahimik, kahit pagod, kahit minsan gusto mo na magbreak. 💗

Cheers sa lahat ng mommies na tuloy lang kahit hirap. Hindi man perfect, pero sapat — at higit pa. 🫶✨

Pregnancy cravings at 3AM, Google searches at 4AM, diaper changes at 5AM — motherhood is basically a 24/7 shift powered by love, snacks, and strong coffee. ☕👶

Stretch marks, puyat eyes, emotional days, and laundry that never ends… real mom life isn’t aesthetic, it’s authentic. Some days you feel like a superhero, other days parang gusto mo lang umiyak sa CR for 5 minutes. And that’s okay. 💗

But truth is — when you have a hands-on, supportive partner who says “ako na diyan,” shares the puyat nights, and reminds you you’re doing great… parenting feels lighter, teamwork feels stronger, and love feels louder.

Modern motherhood isn’t about being perfect. It’s about being real, resilient, and raising tiny humans with a whole lot of love.

👩‍👧‍👧💖: Life of a Mom of 2

Hindi agad nakakabalik sa dating lakas ang isang nanay pagkatapos manganak—lalo na kung dalawa na ang alaga niya. Dalawang bata, magkaibang kailangan, pero si Mama pa rin ang takbuhan ng dalawa.

⏳ Ilang buwan para gumaling ang katawan,
⏳ Mas mahabang panahon para bumalik ang energy,
⏳ At minsan taon bago niya ulit maramdaman na siya rin ay okay.

Hindi madali ang buhay ng nanay na may dalawang anak. Tahimik lang siya, pero pagod na pagod na rin minsan. Kahit ganun, tuloy pa rin siya—dahil mahal niya ang mga anak niya.

💌 Para sa mga asawa: 👨‍👩‍👧‍👧
Alagaan mo si Misis.
Hindi lang siya nanay—siya pa rin ang babaeng minahal mo.
Tulungan mo siya, intindihin mo siya, at iparamdam mong may kasama siya sa lahat.

Ang pagiging nanay ng dalawa mahirap, pero mas kakayanin kapag may pagmamahal at suporta. ❤️

2 months postpartum 🤍

Pagod pa rin. Healing pa rin. Adjusting pa rin sa bagong routine. May mga araw na okay ako, may mga araw din na gusto ko na lang umiyak habang naliligo. Puyat nights, malamig na kape, sabog na buhok — tapos minsan mapapaisip ka kung tama ba lahat ng ginagawa mo.

Pero may mga yakap ni baby, maliliit na ngiti, at tahimik na moments na nagpapaalala kung bakit sulit ang lahat ng pagod.

Para sa lahat ng mamas na nasa parehong season: hindi ka nag-iisa. Okay lang mapagod, ma-overwhelm, at magduda minsan. Dahan-dahan lang. One day at a time. Ginagawa natin ang best natin — at sapat na yun. 🤍
