It was my birthday on the 4th of June... And every year around this time, my body remembers. ⚠️
TW: Birth Trauma, Postpartum Mental Health, Medical Trauma...
Almost 8 years ago, I nearly lost my life to something that was supposed to come naturally,
Childbirth...
Instead of a smooth welcome into motherhood, I got:
Sepsis.
Another emergency C-section.
A coma.
A lost voice.
Brain fog so thick I thought I was losing my mind.
Anxiety.
Rage.
Panic.
And over 7 years of dependence on meds just to make it through the day.
Every birthday since, I feel a slow drift back into the abyss.
I grieve what could have been…
What should have been.
If not for the mercy of God and medical intervention, I wouldn't be here.
These past few weeks have been heavy.
I’ve cried.
I’ve wept.
I’ve wrapped my arms around myself, trying to soothe the parts that still ache.
Worship music has been my anchor.
God, my safe place.
And through it all, one truth keeps ringing louder than the rest:
I am called to share this.
To share one of my C-section birth trauma stories.
And I can't believe how many mums have whispered, “Me too,” in response.
To my coach, Ferny Ceballos, thank you.
You encouraged me to speak.
To show the side of motherhood we’re told to hide.
This is an honour I do not take lightly.
As you’ll see from the photo I shared (and I share it with love and care, it may be a trigger for some), this part of me deserves to be seen.
Just as much as the polished, filtered versions, we scroll past every day on social media.
For years, I carried the trauma of that induced coma in my bones.
Until 17 months ago when I found something that finally made sense to my nervous system.
A mental wellness movement that felt like home.
That held space for women like me.
That introduced me to nature’s own support: adaptogenic, microbiome, healing products that helped soothe the chaos in my mind and body.
Next to my salvation and my family,
this has been the best thing that ever happened to me.
So if you’re a mum reading this,
and you’ve experienced the trauma of pregnancy, labour, or delivery,
please take a moment and really look at your symptoms:
That sudden blank-out.
The time you left your keys in the fridge.
The snapping rage when your kid calls “mum” 42 times in 60 seconds.
The headache that won’t quit.
The heart that won’t stop pounding.
The flinches at alarms, crying, or silence
The chest tightenings, shortness of breath, and body braces as if danger is always coming...
Please, look into it.
It’s not just in your head.
It’s in your body.
And it deserves healing.
I see you.
I honour your story.
And I’m walking this path with you. 💜
If your story echoes mine, please know you're not alone in this.
The journey to healing is real, and it’s one you don’t have to walk by yourself.
I’m now dedicated to helping mums find the same peace and wellness that saved me.
If you’re ready to explore what that could look like for you, send me a private message with the word ‘HEAL.’ or fill the Trauma-Happy Quiz in my bio
There's no pressure, just a safe space to start.
Frustrated and stuck. #birthstory #birthtrauma #postpartum #motherhood
