Motherhood is full of surprises, and let's be honest—no one really has it all figured out. We recently asked our community of moms to share their greatest confessions, and the results were both relatable and hilarious!

From dealing with the "no more baby" blues to sneaking in TV time for a long shower, these stories remind us that every mom is just doing her best. Here's a look at some of the best submissions we received!

Winning submission:

"Dealing with the “no more babies” blues. One more won’t hurt, right? Lol" - Lauren

• "I struggled with terrible postpartum depression and anxiety after both of my kids’ births. I felt like I was alone and it took far too long to realize that I needed help.
