Embarrassing stains on your T-shirt, sniffing someone’s bum to check if your little kid has pooped, the first sex after giving birth… as a first-time mom your life turns upside down. Our cartoon drawings visualize these funny situations in a relatable way.
We, illustrator Ingebritt ter Veld and I, Corinne de Vries, had babies shortly after one another. Our pregnancies and first months as young moms inspired these funny drawings. As a mom, you undoubtedly recognize the drawings of mom's everyday life during pregnancy and after childbirth - but those experiences are not always talked about. With these funny comics “#thingsonlymomsknow” we want to depict the reality of motherhood - with all the (sometimes literally) painful, funny and loving moments.

This is so true: After my son was born, my fashion sense went out the window. In the beginning, I actually forgot about myself and concentrated solely my son. Hair, nails, wearing my stylish clothes wasn't even a concern of mine. But when he was a year or so and I was getting myself back, I began to treat myself (get my hair, nails and toes done), so I can look like a nice, sexy mom.
Pumping Madness
After I had weaned my son I was in the grocery store and the baby behind me cried...soak shirt front time.

So TRUE! This was when I stopped breastfeeding. When my son tried to take a chunk out of my nipple. He was a little over 1 year old.

Very cute. I'm a grandma now, but I remember shooting my husband in the eye with breastmilk across a room while undressing, by only unhooking my brassierre and letting my blobs out. Right in the eye !
Wow...I like those. And whoever reads my comments on BP knows that I rather rejoyce with sarcastic, dark, sometimes evil stuff (unless puppies are involved). This series is charming for its realism on the one hand and the absurdity on the other. Yet it does not forget to convey the most important message: love what you do and what opportunities you gain.
