Carrie reflects on struggles and joys of motherhood

Welcoming a child into the world is a life-changing experience, and now Carrie Bickmore has opened up about how son Ollie’s birth has impacted the past decade.

Taking to Instagram to wish her son a happy 10th birthday on Tuesday, the 36-year-old The Project host revealed some of the struggles she never knew she’d face till she became a mother.

“This here is one exhausted, overwhelmed, scared mama, in shock over what her body just went through and unaware of the terrifying health issues that lay ahead for her in the coming weeks,” Carrie wrote next to a photo of her sleeping at the hospital next to a newborn Ollie.

However the Gold Logie winner says there’s more positives to having a child, as she details in the rest of her affectionate post.

“What this tired mama didn't realise was just how awesome life would be with this little old man in it,” she wrote.

“Ollie we have been on a big journey together honey, but raising you has been the easy bit. I never take for granted how lucky I am to have been given the chance to watch you grow up...you are the kindest, happiest, funniest, and most resilient young man.

“Your dad would be so proud of you who are,” she added.

Carrie has been right by her little boy’s side when his father and her husband, Greg Lange, passed away in 2011 following a long battle with brain cancer.

In March 2015 Carrie welcomed a baby daughter, Evie, with new partner Chris Walker.

“Mummy, Chris, little Evie, your grandparents, aunties, uncles and cousins love you 100 times more than you love watching people play Minecraft! . A lot!” Carrie added towards the end of her special birthday post.

“Here's to many more years of life together beautiful boy. Happy 10th birthday. Don't ever stop snuggling next to me (well maybe one day-but not yet!) xxxx”
