These ‘mum emojis’ totally NAIL the trials of parenting!

These days, it seems like there’s an emoji for pretty much everything.

Well, apart from anything related to raising kids, that is.

That’s why three enterprising mums decided to create their own!

Working mums and BFFS Sarah Robinson, Natalie Ralston and Hannah Hudson recently launched EmojiMom, an app with the most bang-on motherhood emojis you can imagine.

From morning sickness to lactation leakage, each and every aspect of the less-than-glamorous day-to-day of parenting is covered.

It all started when Sarah’s baby peed on her – just as she was about to return to work in a brand new pants suit.

“It was such a hilarious, frustrating, it-figures, okay-I-might-break-down-and-cry kind of moment,” Sarah told The Huffington Post.

When she told her friends about it, that’s when their emoji app idea was born. And while it’s going down pretty well, Sarah hopes that the new emojis inspire mums to open up more about their parenting struggles.

“We really hoped this could be something that allowed moms to own more of the conversation about motherhood,” she told Refinery29.

“Simply talking about the things that no one talks about is important, so we normalise these things.”

Hear, hear. Check out some of the coolest motherhood emojis below…

For when they do their business, everywhere

For all the strange products you never thought you'd need

For the moment of panic when you realise just how hard it's gonna be to push out

For when you wish they'd just come out, dammit!

And when you wish they'd just stay put 

And the mischief begins
