This is an epidural needle🥹
long, sharp, terrifying.
It goes deep into a mother’s spine,
while she’s already breaking with contractions.
Yet she bows her back, stays still,
and takes it.
Not because it’s easy.
But because her baby is worth every pain. ❤️
C-section is not for cowards. It is for warriors.
Because behind those bright lights of the operating room, a mother is lying still, surrendering her body to pain, to fear, to scars, and still choosing love.
They say: “Why did you choose a C-section?”
The truth is, we didn’t. We never wished for seven layers of skin to be cut, for our spine to feel the sting of anaesthesia, for the soreness that makes even breathing heavy.
We didn’t choose the scar.
We chose life.
We chose the heartbeat of our baby over the comfort of our own body.
Days later, when we struggle to stand, when the stitches pull, when our body feels broken, we still carry our babies with a smile. Mothers are warriors 💯📌.
My mama na God wey I dey see oh❤️
