@the.little.life.edit: At this point, I’d been in pain for 9 weeks. I’d been back and forth to doctors. Back and forth to hospital. Every time, I was told some variation of: “Your body has been through a lot.” “You’re a new mum.” “It can take time to recover.” But deep down, I knew something wasn’t right. And eventually, I hit breaking point. I remember sitting there sobbing, saying I couldn’t do this anymore. That was the moment somebody finally listened. They ran more tests and discovered I had retained placenta. Nine weeks after giving birth. I finally felt relieved. Not because I needed surgery, but because I wasn’t imagining it. I wasn’t being dramatic. There was actually something wrong. But unfortunately, that wasn’t the end of the story. And the impact of that has followed me for years. I don’t share this for sympathy. I share it because too many women are taught to doubt themselves. If you feel something isn’t right, keep asking questions. You know your body better than anyone else. #birthtrauma #birth #postpartum #trustyourgut #mumlife
