No other surgery are you expected to care for someone else 💞🤱🏼
This is postpartum.
A body still healing. A belly that once was home to new life. Bandages covering tender wounds. Skin softer, stretched, and marked by the story of birth.
We don’t talk about this season enough. Too often, the world tells mothers to “bounce back,” to erase the very signs that they created and carried life. But the truth is, postpartum isn’t about going back. It’s about moving forward… into a new version of yourself, one that is stronger, deeper, and more resilient than you ever imagined.
In this picture, you see bandages… but you also see love. You see the weight of healing, but you also see the weight of a baby resting peacefully, knowing they are safe. You see a mama who may be exhausted, but whose arms are still steady and whose heart is still overflowing.
Every stretch mark, every scar, every tender part of this journey is proof: you did something extraordinary. You brought life into the world, and you are still giving life every single day.
So if you are in this season, please remember: there is no timeline for recovery, no prize for rushing your healing, no shame in resting or asking for help. Your worth is not in how fast you “bounce back.” It’s in the love you pour out, the strength you carry, and the life you created.
You are not less now.
You are more.
More powerful.
More beautiful.
More incredible than you’ve ever been.
🤍 This is motherhood. This is love. This is you.
