No matter who they are, a husband, a mother in law, whoever.

My eirich seemed so weak and just lying on the bed almost half day. He's not that cheer like he used to be and I became worried about him. he had a fever the day before, and I thought it's going to be okay the nxt day. but I was wrong. Cuz his condition was worse than before. He's getting diarrhea and pup -fully liquid- almost every 15minutes. My husbend just told me to calm down because he said that diarrhea is a nature sign that you are getting better. And my fool that i was believe on that. But the night, I was very worried and decided to visited the doctor whatever happen. I couldn't stay and just saw my son suffred. and thanks God I was not too late because the doctor helped me cured my erich by his medicines. Yes Emma, I have felt the same way you did.

It’s so hard to admit that we’re not perfect mothers, personally I hate making mistakes and get so angry with myself. LaToya, I beat myself up too for not taking Eric to the doctor’s a day before.

I think that strong bond and emotion are more nurtured through natural birthing or an environment where you can be 100% in tuned with your body and baby. But it has failed me before. Before my second son was born my oldest was sick with what I thought was a cold that just kept coming and going for about 6 weeks. When I finally took him to the doctor he had pnuemonia and the baby had RSV. 2 weeks later he had a sinus infection and 2 weeks after that an inner ear infection. The Dr. assured me that some of the sickness could be due to depression over the new baby. But I beat myself up a bit nonetheless. We're not perfect and neither are our instincts.
