The statement "I don't know if I know how to be a mom" indicates that the new mother is unsure of her role as a caregiver and may feel inadequate, which can lead to lowered self-esteem. Role ambiguity occurs when a person is unclear about what is expected of them in their role, and this can contribute to feelings of low self-worth.
