It may not be black at times but in varying shades of brown. No amount of whitening cream can lighten this line and it is now a part of your personality.
Blood all around
No one would have prepared a woman to experience blood dripping from their privates like a leaky tap. This is something just out from a Halloween setting. Soon to be mothers must know that delivery process entails losing a lot of blood and it becomes quite messy at times.

Many women have heard about the ring of fire, that is, the searing pain that is felt during the labor process. Many women dread this pain and opt for episiotomy but they are not prepared for the constant pain they may experience for the entire time till the baby is delivered.
