In this episode of IVF Before and After, Kay shares a story from an anonymous source about the experience of being an NICU parent, having the joy of bringing a new baby into this world being immediately transformed into a world of anxiety and pain. Having a baby in intensive care is a horror that no parent wants to go through and is an experience that can cause PTSD symptoms for many years. By sharing this story, Kay hopes that those going through this experience can find comfort and hope in this horrible time.  

Post-natal depression is far more common in those that experienced difficultly during child birth, Kay hopes that we can all come together to create a support network to help each other though.

Top Tips For When You Are Pregnant With a Toddler!

Kay wants what many parents want for their children something extraordinary. She reflects why it is that many think an acceptable response whatever the question is ‘it’ll be fine.

Is fine what you want for your children or are you willing to put in the time to put them on the path to extraordinary through taking the time to ask the right questions and do the research?

 

KEY TAKEAWAYS
I don’t want my kids to have an OK life I want them to have an extraordinary life.
The most important task we undertake as parents is raising our children.
We should take the same care with whatever they are doing
I did a lot of research when looking for a nursery and asked a lot of questions and the answer was always ‘they’ll be fine whatever the question.
Sometimes on a day fine is all any of us can manage but as an inspiration, ‘fine’ isn’t enough
I want it to be totally extraordinary for them

 

BEST MOMENTS

‘Do you want a fine life for them? What extraordinary do you want for them?’

‘Whatever we are doing and wherever we are going I like to investigate it fully’

It's Fine!

Kay is on a rant today following a scene she witnessed whilst out and about. A distressed child was sent on the last part of the journey to the school gate alone by the adult who was with them.

Kay looks at why children deserve to always feel special and safe and why parents and adults need to have compassion and understanding.

 

KEY TAKEAWAYS
It was a rainy day and everyone was going about their business.
As adults and parents, it’s important to have compassion.
That child was walking up to school broken hearted
What else in our lives as adults is so special that we can’t take the time to look after a child?
Why couldn’t that adult found five more minutes?
A child should always be taken into school.
A child should always know that whatever the situation an adult will make it better for them.
Why can’t adults find the time for their children?
A child should always feel special and  a priority for those adults around them

 

BEST MOMENTS

‘I wanted to say everything will be alright and give the child a hug’

‘What can be more important than taking the time to look after a child?’
