Don’t Rush Body

Here’s another beautiful essay from the Lisah Chronicles.

Here she writes about the changes her body went through during pregnancy. She writes to her body and how it now has scars, stretch marks, and extra skin. She write about how she misses her old body and doesn’t know if it’ll return back.

Don't worry body, you don't have to be in a hurry to go back to being what I know that together we go through drastic changes and it would be cruelty to expect a lot

But she’s grateful for her body for housing, protecting, and nurturing the most important thing in her life…her baby.

And every time I look at you and miss what you were before I will look at the beautiful gift that gave me, and so I will remember everything we spent together.

So she’s understanding and accepting of the time it takes to heal, and if it’ll heal.

Don't worry body, after we go through crying and blood together, my respect for you is above any vanity.
We can go slow body... no need to rush!

Your body will change but it was for the better…and it’s beautiful.

The Lisah Chronicles are in Portuguese and the translations are from Google and/ or Facebook so it’s not perfect but the sentiment and feeling are. :)

Don't rush body

Don't worry body, you don't have to be in a hurry to go back to being what I know that together we go through drastic changes and it would be cruelty to expect a lot
For nine months you have totally modified to house the most important being of my life, you had the organs contracted and the uterus increased countless times greater than its normal size.
In addition to all the hormonal mess you offered the food and oxygen that my baby needed, had his skin extremely stretched so that my serzinho could stretch and grow strong, together we feel the thud that is to be the intermediate of heaven and the earth, You held liquid, weighed, the column hurt for days no matter the position we stayed.
And as if it was not enough all this radical change for nine months, you at the end still won, won a lot... had its skin torn
We won scars and lots of exhaustion
Don't worry body, no need to rush!
I respect you, respect the moments that donate us together.
And every time I look at you and miss what you were before I will look at the beautiful gift that gave me, and so I will remember everything we spent together.
You don't have to be in a hurry to go back to being as it was, in fact you don't have to go back if you don't want to,
Don't worry body, after we go through crying and blood together, my respect for you is above any vanity.
We can go slow body... no need to rush!
