โ€œHow to explain, the instinct that washes over me.
The doctors, they come.
The nurses - they sometimes care.
But Iโ€™m the one,
Whoโ€™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? Theyโ€™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 -
youโ€™ve been in school for years.
But I held her inside me,
for ten long months -
I felt her every move.
Thereโ€™s something about a mother with a baby -
Sheโ€™s the smartest expert there is.
Trust yourself -
you know your baby best.
Donโ€™t be ashamed,
to be Dr. Mom.โ€
