A love letter from a child to a parent…

Thank you for loving me
When I was most difficult to love

Thank you for showing up for me
When it was most hard to reach me

Thank you for believing in me
When I didn’t believe in myself

Thank you for supporting me
When I felt unsupported by the world

Thank you for reassuring me
When I appeared inconsolable

Thank you for your words of wisdom and advice
Even when they were tough to hear

Thank you for always wanting what was best for me
Regardless of the circumstances

And thank you for always being there for me
Even when it felt like I didn’t appreciate or see
Everything you did for me.

As I have grown
I have come to appreciate the many sacrifices you made
To build a better future for me

All of the love you gave me
All of the sleepless nights
All of the mundane moments and milestones you were there to witness and experience
And everything in-between

All of the concerts, sporting events and ceremonies you attended
Beaming proudly
All of the photos you took, the memories we made and special times we shared
And all of the precious moments that you spent with me.

As I have grown
I can now better appreciate
How strong you were for me:
The tears you held back
And the smile you wore
So that I wouldn’t see how much you were secretly struggling at times behind the scenes

And now having left home
I can now appreciate
All you have truly done for me.

Thank you for doing the best you could
Thank you for continuing to be an incredible presence in my life
And above all
Thank you for always seeing the best in me
And loving me

And though I am now fully grown
I will always be your little child
And when I go on to one day have a family of my own
I hope that I can make you proud
By being half the parent
That you were to me.

Some interesting breastfeeding facts:

30/07/2022

The 4th trimester is a period of major physical and emotional adjustment - perinatal mood and anxiety disorders (PMADs) are by far the most common complication of pregnancy and childbirth. Everyone talks about postpartum depression, but PMADs include (in order of prevalence): anxiety, depression, PTSD, OCD, bipolar, and psychosis and they impact birthing parents, partners, and adoptive parents. PMADs are not the same as the "baby blues," a brief period of emotional instability due to the intense hormonal fluctuations that occur after childbirth and the initial adjustment to having a new baby.

It's often hard to know what is considered "normal" during this period, so I created this chart to help clarify the differences between the most common experiences of women during the postpartum period. Anything in the first column is clearly not a cause for concern. The baby blues are experienced by a majority of women, but only last for two weeks - so if you are experiencing a lot of what is described in the second column beyond 2 weeks postpartum, then you may want to reach out to your doctor. If you are consistently experiencing a lot of what is described in the third and/or fourth columns at ANY time (even in the first 2 weeks postpartum), please reach out to your doctor. If you're experiencing symptoms that aren't described anywhere on this chart but are concerning to you or are impacting your ability to care for yourself or for your baby, you will also need to reach out to your doctor as soon as possible. Don't just wait for things to get better - unfortunately PMADs don't have any kind of "expiration date" - they will not resolve on their own without some form of professionally guided treatment.
