Trina said she delivered their first child via normal delivery, and she was in labor for eight hours. They named their baby Kaela.

The 28-year-old mom shared her first realization as a first-time parent, "Totoo nga po ang sabi nila, [one] week na po kaming walang tulog ni Ryan Jarina."

How to catch some sleep for first-time parents
Getting enough sleep is very important, especially for new moms like Trina. When moms are well rested, they are more capable and patient in caring for their children. Johns Hopkins Medicine suggests these tips for new parents.
1. Try to sleep when the baby sleeps
We know that this is easier said than done, but if you can do it, then go ahead. Newborns are napping all the time, so while it's tempting to finish some chores or use your phone when they are sleeping, prioritize resting and sleep instead. Everything else can wait, but you deserve to rest.

As moms, it's automatic to feel like you can do it all in the name of your newborn child, but it's better and smarter to ask for help from your husband or your family members. Share duties such as feeding, diaper changes, and cleaning with whoever is available so you can have time to sleep.
3. Practice good sleep hygiene
Johns Hopkins recommends not using your phone and other electronics before going to bed so that the light from these devices won't confuse your body clock. You might also want to cut on your caffeine, so you can sleep faster.
