The baby is only part of the birth. There's another birth that almost nobody talks about. The PLACENTA. For 9 months, your body grows an entirely new organ, an organ with one job keeping your baby alive. It delivers oxygen, nutrients, hormones, filters waste and connects two completely different circulatory systems without ever mixing your blood. Then, minutes after your baby is born that organ detaches from the wall of your uterus, and when it does, it leaves behind a wound roughly the size of a dinner plate. About 10 cm across, that is why you bleed after birth, because your body is healing a wound. At the same time, your uterus, which stretched enough to hold an entire baby, is working around the clock to shrink back down to its pre pregnancy size. Those after pains you're feeling those contractions, they are your uterus, squeezing itself smaller while compressing hundreds of open blood vessels to stop the bleeding. Now imagine this. If you had a wound that size anywhere else, on your body, on your arm, on your leg, your back, would anyone expect you to be back at work in a week? Would anyone expect you you to entertain visitors? Cook meals, carry a baby day and night smile for photos and get your body back, of course not. You'd probably be in the hospital on a drip. People would tell you to rest up. They'd expect weeks of recovery, yet when that exact wound is hidden inside your body, the world acts as though you should be back to normal almost immediately. 6 weeks later, you go for your postpartum, check up. Many women think it's a milestone that says, wow, you've recovered. It isn't. It's simply checking whether the bleeding has stopped, whether the placental wound has healed and whether your uterus is recovering as expected. It is not a certificate that says your body, brain, hormones, identity or even nervous system have all returned to normal. So if you've ever been wondering, why haven't I bounced back yet? Here's the better question why were you ever expected to bounce back from something this enormous in the first place? Your body is recovering from one of the most extraordinary healing processes a human being can experience. Give yourself some time and space to recover.
the way chan didn’t say anything about his own dream cause it’s probably for them to always stay together and they started talking about how life might pull them apart and he decided to keep it to himself😭
Lionel Messi sobre Lamine Yamal consolándolo después de la victoria de España sobre Argentina en la final de la Copa Mundial de la FIFA.
🗣️ “Cuando sonó el pitido final, todo me dolía. Perder una final del Mundial es un dolor imposible de explicar. Estaba allí intentando contener las lágrimas cuando sentí que alguien me puso una mano en el hombro. Me di la vuelta… y era Lamine.”
“Por un instante, no vi al nuevo campeón del mundo con España. Vi al pequeño bebé que una vez sostuve en mis brazos y al que bañé hace tantos años. La vida tiene una forma increíble de recordarte lo rápido que pasa el tiempo. Ese momento me llegó al corazón más de lo que la gente puede imaginar.”
“Me abrazó y simplemente me dijo: ‘Gracias por todo.’ Esas palabras me rompieron por dentro. No porque hubiéramos perdido, sino porque entendí que el fútbol había cerrado un círculo perfecto. Aquel niño que un día me miraba con ojos inocentes estaba ahora frente a mí como campeón del mundo.”
“Le dije: ‘Estoy orgulloso de ti. Disfruta este momento porque te lo has ganado. Cuida del fútbol, cuida del Barcelona y nunca dejes de jugar con esa sonrisa.’ Lo dije de todo corazón.”
“En ese abrazo no había vencedores ni vencidos. Solo había una generación dándole las gracias a otra. Son momentos que te recuerdan que el fútbol es mucho más grande que cualquier trofeo o medalla.”
“No me fui de ese campo pensando únicamente en la derrota. También me fui con la tranquilidad de saber que el fútbol está en buenas manos. Ver a Lamine crecer desde aquel bebé de aquella fotografía tan especial hasta convertirse en una de las mayores estrellas del mundo me llena de orgullo.”
“Si este fue mi último Mundial, entonces agradezco que mi última imagen no haya sido solo el dolor de la derrota. También fue el abrazo con un joven cuya historia quedó unida a la mía mucho antes de que cualquiera de los dos pudiera imaginarlo. El fútbol nos regaló ese momento, y lo guardaré en mi corazón para siempre.”
