Transforming into mum was hard for Ciara
FORMER Operation Transformation doctor Ciara Kelly admitted she didn’t instantly bond with her first-born son.
Celebrating his 19th birthday yesterday, the Newstalk presenter opened up about the terror she felt becoming a parent.
Mum-of-four Ciara said: “Now I love him with a fierceness but it wasn’t instant.
“It took time and growth and overcoming my own fears and insecurities.
“If you are reading this and you haven’t bonded instantly, don’t think it means you won’t.
“The sheer enormity of being a parent is daunting.
“Sometimes it takes a little longer to get your head around it than you’re led to believe.”
