Tonight, as I was getting dressed after bath time with my little girls, my 5-year-old looked up at me with wide, honest eyes and said, “Mummy, you look like an animal.” For a moment, I hesitated — until she finished with a smile, “Just like a tiger.”
She was speaking of my mumma stripes — my warrior marks, the living proof of my journey and strength.
I shared her sweet observation with my husband, and without missing a beat, he said, “They are beautiful — nothing could be more feminine.”
And in that moment, I was wrapped in a warmth of love, pride, and deep appreciation for the story my body carries.
These stripes are not flaws; they are the most powerful, beautiful symbols of life, resilience, and love.

⌛EVERYTHING HAS ITS PURPOSE⏳

I'm often asked in classes how the fluid gets out of the baby's lungs:
🔆
Amniotic fluid and mucous drains out of baby’s chest and mouth while baby’s chest is being squeezed by mother’s va**na.
🔆
Usually there is a gap of a few minutes between birth of baby’s head and the rest of the baby. This is why "slow and steady wins the race."
🔆
Slow, mother-led pushing, and allowing the fetal head to sit in the perineum with slow stretching decreases perineal trauma as well as gives the baby adequate time to benefit from chest compression in the va**nal canal to remove amniotic fluid from lungs.
⏺
Routine episiotomies are most certainly not healthier for mother or baby and is not recommended unless medically indicated.
