In an interview which millions of mothers will be able to relate to, this much-loved music star and first-time mum admits that the arrival of her son signalled a change in her perspective on a number of issues.
Country star, Carrie Underwood, who welcomed baby son Isaiah just seven months ago, opened up about the change in family dynamic and revealed her insight into issues which affect many women once they hear the pitter-patter of tiny feet.
32-year-old Carrie, who wed hockey player Mike Fisher in 2010, admitted that juggling work responsibilities wih home life is something she struggles with, saying: "Sometimes, I sit around and I think, 'What can I do to just make it easier on all of us?' I don't know if there are any definitive answers."
In a statement which will strike a chord with millions of new mums, Carried continued; "Nobody hands you a book and says, 'Here's how you go back to work,' or 'Here's how everybody's happy."
In addition to noticing a change in her lifestyle priorities, the star admits Isaiah's arrival has had an incredibly positive impact on her self-esteem.
"Bodies can do the most amazing things, and I feel like being a first-time mom, I gained a whole new respect for my body," admitted the star, who revealed she turned to diet supplements in order to lose weight after winning American Idol in 2005.
Heaping praise upon the body which helped produce her son, Carrie gushed: "It created another human, and it's amazing, and he's just the best thing ever."
Reaching out to mothers who may be struggling to adjust to her new figure or size, Carried urges them to consider their health above all else.
"We place so much emphasis on looks and less on how you feel and how you're engine's running. I think if we did more of that, more people would be more accepting and probably even treat their bodies better."
We couldn't agree more!
