You’ll never guess what this new mum did WHILE in labour

Trine Jensen-Burke

We all know being able to multitask is a skill you absolutely need to be in possession of when you are a mother. 

Which is why we have no doubt that this new mum from Georgia in the US is going to ace motherhood and all that comes with it. Because not only did Tommitrise Collins manage to keep up with her college course throughout her pregnancy, but she actually did her psychology exam WHILE being in labour for 20 hours in the hospital.

Wow. We know labour can drag out and you might need to try and distract yourself, but this is really all sort of amazing.

Tommitrise’s older sister, Shanell Brinkley-Chapman, was also impressed with her lil’ sis, and posted the following picture to Facebook:

“This is what you call ‘Strong Priorities,'” Brinkley-Chapman captioned the photo. “Contractions 3 minutes apart and still takes her Psychology Test! You are going to be a great Mom baby sis!”

The post picked up a lot of attention, and has already been shared more than 15,000 times. Talk about taking hustle to a new level, no wonder people are impressed with this mama’s dedication to her studies.

According to Brinkley-Chapman, her sister eventually finished her exams – AND gave birth to a beautiful baby girl named Tyler.

We hope you are getting some rest in there now, mama!
