This is an epidural needle 🥺 Long, sharp and 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’s 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 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 anesthesia, for the soreness that even makes breathing heavy 🥹 We didn’t choose the scar, We chose life, We chose the heartbeat of our baby over the comfort of our bodies. Days later when we struggle to stand, when the stitches pull, when our bodies feels broken, we still carry our babies with a smile. Mothers are warriors 💯🥰 Kudos to all c-s mothers 😘🥹
