Please See Me Through My Tears Kelly Osmont You asked, "How are you doing?" As I told you, tears came to my eyes . . . And you looked away and quickly began to talk again. All the attention you had given me drained away. "How am I doing?" . . . I do better when people listen, though I may shed a tear or two. These feelings are indescribable. If you?ve never felt them you cannot fully understand. Yet I need you. When you look away, when I?m ignored, I am again alone with them. Your attention means more than you can ever know. Really, tears are not a bad sign, you know! They?re nature?s way of helping me to heal . . . They relieve some of the stress of sadness. I know you fear that asking how I?m doing brings me sadness . . . but it doesn?t work that way. The memory of my loved one?s absence is with me, only a thought away. My tears make my loss more visible to you, but you did not cause this sadness. It was already there. When I cry, could it be that you feel helpless, not knowing what to do? You are not helpless, and you don?t need to do a thing but be here for me. When I feel your permission to allow my tears to flow, you?ve helped me. You need not speak. Your silence is all I need. Be patient . . . do not fear. Listening with your heart to "how am I doing" validates what I?m going through, for when the tears can freely come I feel lighter. Talking to you releases what I?ve been wanting to say aloud, clearing space for a touch of joy in my life. I?ll cry for a minute or two . . . then I?ll wipe my eyes, and sometimes you?ll even find I?m laughing in a while. When I hold back my tears, my throat grows tight, my chest aches, my stomach knots . . . because I?m trying to protect you from my tears. Then we both hurt . . . me, because my feelings are held inside, causing pain and a shield against our closeness . . . and you, because suddenly we?re emotionally distant. So please, take my hand and see me through my tears . . . then we can be close again

Anyone else getting very little sleep at the moment?!
Fuschia replied to crystal7's topic in The Family Room Discussion
I think sb's advice is spot on -
I think this is fairly common, certainly my first child (weaned 17w) did just that It was a bit like the novelty wore off/he developed an independent streak that he has to this day I think you will have to Persist with the finger foods/look into blw I have found with all of mine they loved to copy me - so offer him things and eat them yourself .... Plus try him with a tommee tippee cup, no Lid, with a few blueberries in, or an inch of pur?e and a spoon to self feed Baby Bjorn round plastic spoons (Amazon) are pricey but very good for early self feeding You can also serve pur?es with pasta spirals, if ready to start wheat (or get corn pasta)

being induced with second child - UPDATE
Fuschia replied to pommie's topic in The Family Room Discussion
In my 4 night (!!!!) stint in the side bay on the labour ward last time round, there was a fresh batch of women arrived each evening and started off with the pessary. But when I was inpatient in antenatal, there were women there too in the early stages of induction. I am sure the timing/location must depend a little on the situation behind the induction (as well as space) When induced with my twins, they said they only induce twins in a labour ward room -

Fuschia replied to pommie's topic in The Family Room Discussion
Pommie, would you find it useful to have a meeting with the supervisor of midwives or one of your comsultant's team, and talk through what you can expect? I found that incredibly useful to reduce my anxiety and help me feel less out of control -
being induced with second child - UPDATE
Fuschia replied to pommie's topic in The Family Room Discussion
Pommie, I was already an inpatient for both my inductions, but I believe that usually they admit the mother so that they can try the gel/pessary overnight because it's not unusual for it to take several doses for the cervix to soften up enough for them to break your waters... You get the chance to sleep while things get underway (think they might even do it in the antenatal ward) The downside is that your partner can't stay overnight and I have heard anecdotally that sometimes midwives on the antenatal ward are a bit disbelieving when in fact, things are moving very quickly For high risk inductions, they wait until a room is available in the labour ward, and your partner can stay throughout -
