Jorgia’s parents, Jayne and Joe, from Stoke-on-Trent, were informed by medics that the heart-shaped birthmark would likely disappear with age. However, as she approaches her first birthday, the mark has only grown in proportion and remains clearly visible.
Jayne Welch, a 37-year-old care assistant, recalled how the midwives were astonished when they spotted the perfectly symmetrical heart on Jorgia’s tiny tummy shortly after her birth in February last year. Despite the initial expectation of fading, the birthmark has persisted and slightly raised as Jorgia continues to grow.
In general, birthmarks are colored marks on the skin present at birth or appearing shortly afterward. Most types of birthmarks do not require any treatment. However, some may need to be treated if they interfere with health or cause potential problems as a child grows.
Jorgia’s heart-shaped birthmark has become a talk of admiration among her midwives and health visitors. Everyone who meets her loves it and always wants to see it. Jayne affectionately refers to Jorgia as “the little girl with the perfect love heart,” and she considers it a unique and beautiful part of her daughter.
As Jorgia grows and becomes more aware of her unique strawberry birthmark, she has developed a fascination with it, even trying to take it off with her pinch grip. Jayne hopes that as Jorgia gets older, she will continue to embrace and love her birthmark as much as her family does.
In a beautiful gesture of love, Jayne plans to get a matching tattoo of the heart-shaped birthmark on her left side, mirroring her daughter’s unique mark.
Jorgia’s heart-shaped birthmark serves as a reminder that beauty comes in all shapes and forms. It has become a symbol of her individuality and a cherished part of her identity. As she approaches her first birthday celebration with her loving family, Jorgia’s heart-shaped birthmark continues to be a beautiful testament to her uniqueness and the love that surrounds her.
We love our February-born baby girl and her very unique love heart birthmark.’
Birth marks are coloured marks on the skin that are present at birth or soon afterwards.
They are very common and most types do not require any treatment at all.
But some may need to be treated if they are interfering with health.
For example, a type of mark called haemangiomas causes a lump to form under the skin.
It may need to be removed using a laser if it is near an area that could cause problems as a child grows, such as their eyes, nose or mouth.
