Moms are amazing! As kids, we instinctively know that — and that I-need-mom feeling never truly goes away — but it isn’t until you become a parent that you realize just how strong your own mother is. As Heather Rae El Moussa anticipates the birth of her firstborn son with husband Tarek El Moussa, she is reflecting on her “newfound appreciation” for her own mom.
The Flipping El Moussas star wrote a glowing tribute about her mama on Instagram yesterday. “Growing our boy in my belly has been the biggest life changing eye opening experience,” she said. “Moms of ALL kinds are superheroes & are so strong, I genuinely have a newfound appreciation for everything my mom did for me.”

Being pregnant is tough, and it gives you a firsthand look on some of the sacrifices your mom made for you (it really is an eye-opening experience!). Hilary Swank felt it too. Earlier this month, the Alaska Daily star, who is pregnant with twins with husband Philip Schneider, said on The Late Late Show with James Corden, “I feel like women are superheroes. What our bodies do? It’s like, I have such a whole, newfound respect [for women].” She went on, “I mean, I love women, I’ve always loved women. But now, I’m like, ‘Wow!’” Swank said, while pointing to her growing bump. “We can do this!”
