Alongside an adorable selfie posted to Instagram, Zoe Hendrix has revealed that life with her newborn daughter, Harper-Rose, isn’t always easy.

She wrote, “From the moment she was born Harper has filled my heart with joy & laughter. She has also been peeing, pooing and vomiting on me on the regular.”

The 27-year-old added, “I’ve never been so exhausted (mentally & physically) and some moments I think damn I’m doing great, then in the next moment I think I’m not cut out to be the super mum this beautiful girl deserves.”

“I’m sure many mums out there feel me. Why are we so hard on ourselves? My motto now is every day is a new day.”
