Motherhood has been considered one of the greatest blessings a woman can receive.

But as a first-time mom and parent, it can be a roller coaster of a ride and adjustment.

Not only the physical challenges contribute to how hard it is to be a mom nowadays, but the ongoing pandemic also complicates the process.

What can we do to be a better parent to our kid/s and avoid having them experience the complexities of the modern world?

Maricel “Mar” Tulfo – Tungol is the eldest daughter of Philippine idol Raffy Tulfo and is ACT-CIS’s Atty. Garreth’s beloved wife. She’s a mother to their son Grayson who is only a three-month-old baby at the present time and is also a businesswoman who manages her father’s Raffy Tulfo in Action merchandise aside from her personal business. 

Although her pregnancy came out unplanned due to her having Polycystic Ovary Syndrome (PCOS), her son Grayson became her life’s greatest blessing she’s grown to cherish so much. Not only she became a hands-on mom, but Mommy Mar also reached the point of countless realizations as she faced her life’s new segment – motherhood.

In this episode, Mommy Mar shares her experience as a first-time mom who received the blessing at an unexpected time. She talks about how different her journey is, as she admitted to expect what other first-time moms went through in terms of being pregnant. Not only did she had diabetes causing her to be induced, but she also needed to undergo cesarean birth without any experience of labor. Nevertheless, the realization that pregnancy is different for every woman made her more enlightened to the sense of the reality of the world.
