We are woman hear us ROAR

Hi Ladies.

I just had a baby, a beautiful little girl (my second) She tore me, and I have god knows how many stitches, I'm walking like John Wayne, I've got a saggy belly, swollen boobs, my skin is horrible, my hair is frizzy, I don't have the energy to shave my legs or even attempt to straighten my hair or put on make up, (wait.. did I even Brush my teeth this morning?) I've been in the same clothes for 2 days.
I looked at myself in the mirror before my shower and thought.. "christ.. you're not much of a woman right now are you?".

I started to have a cry.

My darling then came in the bathroom, I told him my woes through a sob, he held my chin and said "babe, you literally just pushed out a baby, I don't think you get much more woman than that?" .

And in that instance, I thought "shit yeah I am!".
So girls, if you ever feel like I felt a little over an hour ago, you've just delivered a child, (whether be via v-bac or c-section) you did that. You brought a human into the world, it's not an easy thing to do.
So, I think we're I'm entitled to look and feel like shit for a while.. dont you?

Peace x
