Nobody really prepares you for this part of childbirth.
This sçår doesn’t show strength the way muscles do.
It doesn’t announce victory loudly.
It sits quietly… carrying pàín, healing, féâr, and courage all at once.
An episiotomy is not just a “cút.”
It’s the moment you choose life over comfort.
It’s the çry you swallowed so your baby could breathe.
It’s the stítchés you felt while everyone told you, “At least the baby is fine.”
But you matter too.
The burñíng when you sit.
The feàr of using the toilet.
The slow walk.
The téàrs you shed in silence because nobody warned you how deep this would go — physically and emotionally.
This scàr tells a story.
A story of a woman who endured pàin so another human could arrive safely.
A story of resilience, sáçrifice, and love beyond words.
If you have an episiotomy scàr and felt unseen, unheard, or rushed to “bounce back” — this is for you.
You are not wéak.
You are not dramatic.
You are powerful.
Healing takes time.
Sçárs fade, but strength remains.
To every mother carrying this mark —
I see you.
Your body did something extraordinary.❤️
