On October 29, 2019, a post on Facebook went viral, sharing a meaningful phrase a husband said to his wife in the delivery room, which she believes every new parent needs to hear.
Ashley Gibson, an American mum, shared the phrase her partner uttered, which was 'There's no trophy Ashley.'
She explained that these four words put her whole world as a mum into perspective, helping her to relax into having a newborn again.
According to Ashley, the phrase kept coming back to her during the first few days with her newborn, reminding her that there's no trophy for losing baby weight the fastest, for breastfeeding vs bottle feeding, or for coming up with the most creative birthday party theme.
She finished her post by adding a sincere and important message for her followers, inviting them to relax into motherhood with her, and reminding them that the only trophy they'll carry through life is the bond they create with their baby.
