Celebrating Mums: Mothers Share Their Proudest Moments

When it comes to being a mum, it’s all about celebrating moments that bring out the joy in motherhood.

So with Mother's Day approaching on Sunday, May 8, we rounded up four amazing women to share with us some of their proudest moments as a mother. Plus, we also got them to share little nuggets of wisdom on how they navigated their motherhood journey.

Julie Ong and son Louis

Nurse at Doctor Anywhere

What is your proudest moment as a mum?

“This little chunk is full of surprises. From running, breast feeding, munching, “ma-ma-ma” to now “ma-mi where-r-chu”. He makes me the proudest mum. I will always be his biggest and loudest cheerleader!”

Health and wellness tips for other mums:

“As a mum, it's easy to lose yourself in the day-to-day routines of family life: laundry, preparing meals, paying bills. Don’t forget to include hobbies that brings you joy and peace such as meditation and yoga.”

Sarah Yong and son, Oliver

Operations Manager at Doctor Anywhere

What is your proudest moment in being a mum?

“I'm proud of how resilient he has been adapting to life outside a warm and cosy womb! When the going gets tough as a parent, I try to remember that he is also going through many changes and developments as an infant.”

Health and wellness tips for other mums:

“Do something that makes you feel good about yourself. It makes a world of difference.”

Low Judy and daughter, Dr Tracie Gan, Head of Medical Services at Doctor Anywhere

What is your proudest moment as a mum?

"My proudest moment was at Tracie's graduation ceremony, seeing her receive her medical degree. As I witnessed her cross that stage, I recalled every single moment that led to that point and how much she has grown."

Health and wellness tips for other mums:

“Add little reminders in your phone to remind yourself that you've got this. It feels good to remind yourself that you are doing the best you can.”

Nur Fatin Nadhirah and her daughters, Qurratuain Maryam and Qatrunnada Iman

Nutritionist at Green River Pharmacy

What is your proudest moment as a mum?

“Sometimes when I need a miracle, I look into my daughter’s eyes and realise that I’ve already created one.”

Health and wellness tips for other mums:

“Parenthood is often chaotic and confusing, so planning your activities and tasks ahead can be helpful. Make sure to create a weekly schedule that will contain all the activities that both you and the kids enjoy doing regularly.”

DA wishes all mums a Happy Mother’s Day!
