Once you enter motherhood, you're handed a generous amount of comedic content! And these five female comedians take the mishaps, frustrations, and frankly gross things that come with everyday parenthood and turn them into comedic gold.
You can commiserate with these mamas who have been there, done that, seen it all and are able to tell it in an entertaining and relatable way. Self-deprecation is the cornerstone of many comedians right? We all need a good laugh, especially when we haven’t seen our own toes in a month and pee whenever we sneeze.

Jessi Klein may not have a web series or a TV show but she’s got a book that every woman, not just mother, should read – You’ll Grow Out of It.

A lot of weird, new things happen to your body when you’re pregnant and nursing and the best you can do is find the humor in it. Embrace it and laugh it off, mama!
