15 Funny Postpartum Memes

by Ni'Kesia Pannell

Becoming a new mom can be filled with mixed emotions. Though excitement tends to take center stage, fear and uncertainty are there, too. Since motherhood is a never ending learning process, there will be times where it feels like you're not doing your best. When those time come around, knowing that you're not alone and being able to laugh about it can reassure you that you are, in fact, doing the best you can. That's why being able to have a few funny postpartum memes on hand can definitely be a way to lift your spirits.

There will be times where you won't live up to the standards that society — or, more likely, you — have set. And that's OK.

Motherhood is all about figuring it out, and one good way to take some of the stress off is to laugh at yourself whenever you can.
