“How to explain, the instinct that washes over me.
The doctors, they come.
The nurses - they sometimes care.
But I’m the one,
Who’s Dr Mom.

I know more, I see more.
I see when she holds her breath -
I see when her eyes become tired.
The seizures? They’re sub-clinical.
But sometimes, I see those too.

Her eyes, I watch them.
Her little hands,
I watch their every move.
You say I have no training -
you’ve been in school for years.
But I held her inside me,
for ten long months -
I felt her every move.
There’s something about a mother with a baby -
She’s the smartest expert there is.
Trust yourself -
you know your baby best.
Don’t be ashamed,
to be Dr. Mom.”

June 1, 2024June 1, 2024 Sylvia0

As an adult, we are in control of everything that goes in our body – we have a choice. We can choose to have sugar and alcohol or have only vegetables. We can weigh ourselves, check our calories, and see our physical progress. But, in the life of a parent, we now have the responsibility […]
