Do you want to know what life is like for a young mother? The "#thingsonlymomsknow" series, consisting of 12 illustrations designed by the Dutch Ingebritter Veld and Corinne de Vries for the Hippe-Geboortekaarties website, intends to represent the everyday life of motherhood, showing all the most significant moments before and after pregnancy: the painful ones , the funny ones and the tender ones.

9. 'TRAITOR' BREAST
BREAST TRAP
You know you are a nursing mom when ...
1. You touch yourself to feel which boob goes first.
2. Your breasts kick in automatically.
3. "You dropped some dear tea." / "He's coming out ... oh my god!"

10. THE 'VOMIT'
VOMIT-BULLET
How to check if you are really in the middle of motherhood ...
Before maternity you ran away from vomiting ...
But now that you are a mother it's different ...
And you start to make distinctions ...
"Should I change this shirt?"
And you realize that everything is relative
"Not in the bed!"
11. 'PULLING THE MILK'
"MILK MADNESS"
Seriously, you deserve an award!
"Come on, left boob! Why are you producing less and less?"
"You feel like you're competing with Bella, the cow"
"When you buy everything you need except batteries"
"I defrosted it in case the child wanted more"
It's as if your grandmother's gold jewelry is being thrown at you.
12. EXPAND AND DEFLATE
EXPAND AND DEFLATE
"Pregnant" means that you will expand ...
First the breasts, then the belly, then the hair
And after delivery you will deflate again ...
First the belly, then the hair and once you stop breastfeeding ...
But there is a part of you that you will always have bigger than before ...
