I don't feel sorry for you

You made your decisions

You thought that you had everything figured out

You thought that you had support

You thought that you were running away from your problems

But look how quickly they found you

I bet you wish you would have listened

Planned differently

Made sure that you were better prepared

Moving away is not that easy

But we... your family wished you the best

On your journey to the dead end road that you ran into

Now you need us

Your faithful support system

But you think we forgot...

About all the times you've used us

Wanted us to be sympathetic towards you

The unending circumstances that you continue to put yourself through

To gain sympathy

That you will never get from me

The one who has always helped you

Even as you chose to stand behind a man over me... your sister

I don't feel sorry for you

Karma is giving you everything that you deserve

Now you're feeling the wrath of every person you've hurt

That tried to look out for you

But no, one has done as much for you as I did

And because of you, I have nothing left to give

The Unsung Heroes: Postpartum Doulas - Nurturing New Moms and Families

Shaina Tranquilino

December 11, 2023

Becoming a parent is an incredible journey filled with joy, love, and countless challenges. While the focus often revolves around the miracle of childbirth, we must not overlook the significance of postpartum care for both mothers and their families. In this blog post, we will explore the vital role of postpartum doulas, shedding light on who they are and what their invaluable support entails.

Who are Postpartum Doulas?

Postpartum doulas are trained professionals who provide physical, emotional, and informational assistance to new parents during the delicate post-birth period. They offer compassionate care to nurture not only mothers but also their entire family unit as they navigate through the early weeks or months after childbirth. These skilled individuals are equipped with expertise in breastfeeding support, newborn care education, maternal recovery guidance, and overall postpartum well-being.

The Role of Postpartum Doulas

1. Emotional Support: Postpartum doulas understand that every mother's experience is unique and may be accompanied by feelings of uncertainty, exhaustion, or even overwhelming joy. With empathetic listening skills and non-judgmental attitudes, these doulas create safe spaces where moms can express themselves freely without fear of being judged. Their unwavering emotional support eases anxiety and fosters confidence in parenting abilities.

2. Physical Assistance: The physical demands of caring for a newborn can be daunting for any parent. Postpartum doulas lend a helping hand by assisting with daily household chores such as meal preparation, laundry duties, and light cleaning tasks. By taking on these responsibilities, they alleviate some of the burdensome workload from new moms' shoulders so they can focus on self-care and bonding with their baby.

3. Breastfeeding Support: One significant area where postpartum doulas excel is in providing breastfeeding guidance. They possess extensive knowledge about lactation, positioning techniques, and troubleshooting common nursing challenges. By offering practical advice and reassurance, they empower mothers to establish a successful breastfeeding relationship with their infants.

4. Newborn Care Education: From swaddling techniques to diaper changing tips, postpartum doulas are a treasure trove of newborn care wisdom. They educate parents on the essentials of baby care such as sleep routines, soothing methods, and recognizing signs of infant distress or illness. Armed with this knowledge, new parents gain confidence in meeting their little one's needs effectively.

5. Advocacy and Information Sharing: Postpartum doulas act as bridges between families and the vast network of healthcare professionals and community resources available to them. They help navigate this complex landscape by connecting parents with reliable information related to pediatricians, support groups, mental health services for mothers experiencing postpartum mood disorders, or even local parent-baby activities.

In our society that often focuses solely on the prenatal journey and childbirth experience, we must acknowledge the significance of comprehensive postpartum care. Postpartum doulas play an invaluable role in supporting new moms during this transformative period by providing emotional stability, physical assistance, breastfeeding support, newborn care education, and acting as advocates for their well-being.

As we strive towards nurturing healthier families overall, it is crucial to recognize the incredible dedication of postpartum doulas who work tirelessly behind the scenes. Their unwavering commitment helps new parents transition into parenthood with grace and confidence while fostering a loving environment where both mom and baby can thrive.

With that being said, the journey of welcoming a new life into the world is filled with both joyous anticipation and immense love. However, sadly, not all pregnancies end in the expected celebration. For families who experience the devastating loss of their baby during pregnancy or labour and delivery, navigating through grief can be an overwhelming and isolating experience. In these trying times, postpartum doulas play a crucial role in providing compassionate support and helping bereaved families cope with their grief.

Understanding the Role of Postpartum Doulas: Postpartum doulas are skilled professionals trained to provide emotional, physical, and informational support to families during the postpartum period. Traditionally known for assisting new parents after childbirth, they have now extended their expertise to offer guidance specifically tailored to those experiencing perinatal loss.

Compassionate Emotional Support: Losing a baby is a deeply personal and heart-wrenching experience that often leaves parents feeling isolated and emotionally shattered. Postpartum doulas who specialize in supporting families dealing with perinatal loss understand the unique needs of grieving parents. They possess remarkable empathy and compassion, creating a safe space where families can openly express their emotions without fear of judgment or misunderstanding.

These doulas offer active listening skills, allowing parents to share their stories, memories, hopes, and fears surrounding their lost child. By offering non-judgmental companionship through active mourning rituals such as holding ceremonies or participating in memory-building activities like journaling or creating keepsakes, postpartum doulas help parents process their emotions while honouring their baby's memory.

Physical Care and Recovery Support: In addition to emotional support, postpartum doulas also assist bereaved parents in managing physical aspects related to pregnancy loss. These may include helping mothers recover from labour, providing guidance on self-care practices and nutrition, or assisting with practical tasks such as meal planning, household chores, or arranging for support from family and friends.

Navigating the Complexities of Grief: Grief is a complex journey that affects individuals differently. Postpartum doulas who specialize in perinatal loss possess an understanding of grief's unique dynamics and can help families navigate its complexities. They provide vital resources and information about various grieving processes, counselling services, support groups, and other bereavement resources tailored to the specific needs of each family.

Advocacy and Education: Postpartum doulas also play a crucial role in advocating for bereaved families within healthcare systems. They facilitate communication between parents and medical professionals, ensuring their concerns are understood and addressed sensitively. Additionally, they educate families about their rights, options for memorializing their baby, and assist them in making informed decisions regarding funeral arrangements or obtaining keepsakes like handprints or photographs.

The pain of losing a baby during pregnancy or childbirth is immeasurable, but no parent should have to face this heartbreak alone. During these challenging times, postpartum doulas specializing in perinatal loss offer invaluable support to grieving families by fostering understanding, empathy, and compassion. By acknowledging the significance of their experience, these doulas help parents honour their baby's memory while navigating through grief towards healing and hope.

Told my Dad about my first chaser experience, had to explain what a chaser is.

Dad: ...

I think my explanation combined with recent news events was causing it to really sink in for him how trans femmes are simultaneously sexualized and demonized.

Then I said "anyway we're going to the big city for a trans meet-up today!"

Dad: "what if the crazy church people attack you 😫" (we live in a red area)

At first I got a lil defensive cuz with my ADHD people have a tendency to talk down to me but then I realized he was going into Protective Dad Mode

I love my DADDY SO MUCH!!! 💜

Proud to be a daddy's girl 😊 🏳️‍⚧️

I told my dad that I was out of Trek fanfics to read, and he asked if I needed a new gay thing to read. I said probably, so he sent me a paper copy of Song of Achilles. Thanks, dad.

July 8 2023 After spending the entire day by my friends’ house I went to my mother’s to sleep. I got a big scare when I arrived there, and I noticed signs that my mother may be home since I’d expected the apartment to be empty. It might sound silly, but I wasn’t ready for her to see me. Last time she basically said I was provoking people for having written my pronouns and ‘not a girl’ on my jacket. I am not sure she’ll react better to see me with green hair and a tattoo (she hates tattoos).

Just want to put the past behind me

Hey Everyone, please heed the tags for this fic. Be good to yourselves!

Rating: M | ~5.8k | hurt/comfort | post-canon | violence, non-con, hospitals

Prompt request: Tk has an admirer at the bar while out with the 126. Carlos isn’t there cause he’s on call but he turns up because tk friends are messaging him. because tk admirer looks shifty.

@badthingshappenbingo BTHB: ‘If I can’t have you’ square

Also the biggest Happy Birthday to @rangergurlgleek1211 without your encouragement I don’t know if this fic would have ever seen the light of day.

Summary: Sometimes it seems like the past won't leave TK alone no matter far away from it he gets. When a night out for the 126 leads to an unfortunate encounter for TK; Carlos comes to the rescue.

Just want to put the past behind me

Read on ao3 here

It has been a while since TK has been out with the rest of the 126 without Carlos being there. Even longer since he’s been out at a gay bar, but they wanted to get out and they’re all in need of a place to feel safe after a week of tough calls, including having to deal with several racist, homophobic assholes. TK loves the home he’s found in Texas, but he still struggles with how different it can be from New York in some ways.

They’ve chosen one of the quieter bars; with music loud enough to enjoy, but not drown out conversation, and tables with chairs comfortable enough to sit in for a few hours. TK is content to settle into a chair and decline Nancy’s attempts at pulling him out to the modest dance floor. His muscles are still screaming at him for the more fire than medic rescue he pulled off a few days ago. Judd teased him relentlessly for going soft on them when he complained the day after, so he’s kept his mouth shut since.

Paul drops several drinks on the table, and then takes a seat next to TK soon after the others have left for the dance floor.

“That didn’t take long,” the fond laugh that accompanies the words makes it clear that Paul’s not upset with being stuck ‘babysitting’ the drinks at the table.

TK laughs as he glances over at him from where he was texting Carlos. His fiancé is apparently using his slow shift to his advantage to catch up on paperwork in the office and check-in on his friends at the bar.

“Nancy wanted to let off some steam and Mateo’s not going to say no to that.”

TK sighs as he watches Mateo lean in a little closer to Nancy, a move he’s made on Carlos a number of times when they go out, and the thought makes him miss his man a little more.

“I’m surprised Marjan is risking her sanity being that close to the happy couple on the dance floor right now though.”

“Nah man, she’s been out with you and Carlos enough times to know when it’s time to run and they’re not even close yet.” Paul comments drily as he takes a sip of his beer.

TK narrowly manages to keep the sip of cranberry soda from shooting out across the table, but at the cost of swallowing some down the wrong tube. Paul’s deep laugh and the feeling of his hand patting firmly on TK’s back causes a rush of heat to flush from TK’s chest up his neck.

Tagging: @buckybarnesalways @chaotictarlos @ronensass @xtltokio @beautifulhigh @malexsoulmates @noxsoulmate
