Activa | Positivismo corporal: mamã mostra cicatriz da cesariana

Brittany Noonan vê beleza em todos os partos – e não podíamos estar mais de acordo.

Esta instrutora de fitness é mãe de duas crianças e partilhou recentemente uma fotografia em que a mais nova, com três meses, aparece a relaxar ao lado da sua barriga pós-parto.

“Independente de como a maternidade vos chegue – é um milagre,” diz a legenda da fotografia na qual mostra com orgulho as suas estrias e cicatrizes da cesariana. “Espero que um dia as mulheres em todo o lado não sintam que têm de justificar o parto e possam dizer com orgulho que fizeram cesariana sem culpa ou vergonha.”

“For however motherhood comes to you – it is a miracle.” #3monthspostpartum Whether it’s vaginally or cesarean birth every birth is a miracle and all mothers are amazing, strong and fierce. My scar may fade or it may not but honestly I don’t mind, I actually hope it doesn’t completely, I quiet like the reminder of where my babies came from, it’s a very special reminder each time I look down at just how lucky I am. There are a few things I am extremely passionate about and helping other mums and mums-to-be feel empowered and strong about their csection birth is one of them especially because I am forever messaged and emailed by mums who are scared, ashamed or overwhelmed about their csection birth and have only ever heard horror stories or been met with negativity surrounding it and to me I feel so sad that they feel this way when they should be proud, excited and feel like the bad ass woman they are. I hope one day women everywhere don’t have to feel the need to justify their birth and can proudly say they are a C-section mama without any guilt or shame! Which ever way you birth, you are a legend and I can assure you your baby will only care that both you and them were safe and well! Yes it can hurt but I’d do it a million times over to have my beautiful babies in my arms!?????? Ps any negative Nancy comments will be deleted. This is my space of positivity and empowerment! Are you a C-section mama!!?? . . . . #csectionmama #csectionrecovery #postbaby #postpartum #cutebaby #3monthsold #fourthtrimester #pregnancyjourney #mumlife #pregnancy #pregnancyblog #ig_motherhood #bumpdated

De recordar que a cesariana é uma operação cirúrgica que consiste em extrair um feto por meio de uma incisão no ventre e no útero da mãe, O tempo de recuperação normal é seis semanas (mais duas que o parto vaginal), e este procedimento pode trazer sérias complicações pós-parto. Tendo isso em conta, Noonan diz que não se importa de ficar com as marcas no corpo, porque estas representam uma lembrança especial de onde vieram os seus bebés.

“Sempre que olho para baixo, tenho uma lembrança de quão sortuda sou.”
