The Mothership- Eshe Obasi

And may you never underestimate a woman who’s grown life.

Her organs were shifted.. crammed, squished, pushed out of place.
Her ribs stretched. Her lungs compressed.
Her bladder? A punching bag.
Her spine curved. Her hips widened.
Her body became a home, not just for herself, but for another soul.

And still… she showed up.
Still… she carried it all.
Still… she gave birth, healed, and kept going.

Don’t tell her she’s dramatic.
Don’t question her strength.
Don’t minimize her exhaustion, her stretch marks, her softness, or her fierceness.

A woman who has physically moved her insides around to bring life into the world?
You don’t get to doubt what she’s capable of.

She’s power.
She’s grit.
She’s sacred.
And she deserves to be seen.

Skin to skin isn’t just for moms,
It’s for dads too.

It’s for the dad who pulls his newborn close,
letting that tiny heartbeat find comfort in his own.

It’s for the dad who may not have carried them,
but is creating a bond that’s just as powerful.

It’s for the dad who knows his warmth, his steady heartbeat, and his voice can calm their cries, steady their breathing, and help regulate their little body in ways only love can.

Skin to skin helps babies feel safe.
It reduces stress.
It stabilizes their temperature.
It even strengthens their immune system.

But beyond the benefits, it builds a connection that lasts forever.

One day, that baby won’t fit perfectly on his chest anymore.
But they’ll always remember the safety, the comfort, and the love they felt there.

A father’s love doesn’t just hold them.
It shapes who they are.
