Embarrassing stains on your T-shirt, sniffing someone’s bum to check if he has pooped, the first sex after giving birth… as a young mum your life turns upside down. Our cartoon series visualizes these relatable situations in a hilarious way.

We, illustrator Ingebritt ter Veld and I, Corinne de Vries, had babies shortly after one another. Our pregnancies and first months as moms inspired these cartoons. As a young mom you undoubtedly recognize the drawings of situations every mom goes through during pregnancy and after childbirth - but those experiences are not always talked about. With the series “#thingsonlymomsknow” we want to depict the reality of motherhood - with all the (sometimes literally) painful, funny and loving moments.
