The questionnaire from Mamas Mateas to Tere Vásquez
Motherhood made me: a less selfish and much more empathetic person, but extremely fragile.
As a mom, I am great at: giving them love, hugs, kisses and cuddling them to sleep.
As a mom, I'm terrible at: inventing games, I run out of strategies to entertain them super quickly, I'm not very creative.
Something I wish someone had told me before becoming a mother: even if it's rude, motherhood is the most difficult test I'll ever face.
Since we became moms/dads, my relationship with my partner has become like a team, like a soccer team, the two of us against the world, we live for our children and we love it.
What I said I would never be like as a mom, and now I do: give them a little bit of ketchup.
My favorite maternity gadget (or accessory) is the sling. I feel that it increases the bond and attachment with my baby, it is very cute.
Do you like routine or do you like to go with the flow in your day-to-day life? I am quite strict with schedules and order, I get very stressed out about going out of routine, but on weekends I allow myself a little bit of disorder.
What characteristics of being a mother have helped you to start your own business? Rigor, discipline, effort, getting up early, staying up late and perseverance are transversal to being a mother as an entrepreneur.
Best motherhood advice I've ever been given: "Everything passes" and "one day at a time."
My favourite motherhood cliché is: the maternal instinct. From the day I got pregnant I felt it with my two children, I automatically sensed and guided myself thanks to this instinct.
My most unpopular opinion about motherhood: not all women are made to be mothers.
Best Pregnancy Skincare Tip: The most underrated basic, sunscreen galore!
Your favorite beauty treat after an intense day of motherhood: giving yourself a Hydrafacial, it leaves your skin splendid and is a very relaxing treatment.
For me, assisted fertilization was a long tunnel of learning, patience and self-control and, above all, humility. No one is free, and when it's time, it's time.
The best advice for women starting an assisted fertilization process is to undergo all the tests, go to recognized fertility specialists, do not be influenced by extra opinions and firmly believe in what you want, with your heart and your head.
