Download or read book Becoming a Medical Mom written by Ashley Bergris and published by CreateSpace. This book was released on 2015-10-05 with total page 86 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A "Medical Mom" is a mother of a child with medical difficulties. Typically these mothers have been through one or more hospital admissions. Their child may or may not have a diagnosis. At first they're frazzled and unsure, but over time they become staunch advocators for their children and their medical needs. My goal is to reach the frazzled and unsure beginners and expedite their development into the advocates their children need them to be. Everyone has to start somewhere. The journey to becoming a fully-fledged medical mama is no exception. Whether you have some medical knowledge already, or don't have a clue what any of the words the doctor is using mean, you're in the right place. I'm going to make sure you know the basics. By the time you're through, you'll know how to survive admission, whether it's a day or a month. You can do this. I know it's overwhelming. The things the doctors say may not even be making sense right now. If you've already received a diagnosis, your head is still spinning trying to figure out what that means for you and your child. If you haven't, but your child is obviously struggling and no one knows why, you're not alone. There is a ton of women out there, just like you, which have no idea what's wrong with their child. If you're a medical dad, let me apologize in advance. Most of the medical parents I know are mothers. Many fathers help, but the mothers frequently provide the majority of medical care to the child. If you are your child's primary medical caregiver, you're just as awesome as us moms! Please don't feel intimidated by the fact I refer to mothers throughout the text. It applies to dads too.

Moms, do you feel tired? Overwhelmed? Have you continually put off the things you need to do for you? Do you feel like it’s all worth it because your kids are happy? Are you "over" being a mother? If you answered yes to these questions, you’re not alone. Parents today want to create the ideal childhood for their children. Women strive to be the picture-perfect Pinterest mother that looks amazing, hosts the best birthday parties in town, posts the most "liked" photos, and serves delicious, nutritious home-cooked meals in her neat, organized home after ferrying the kids to school and a host of extracurricular activities on time. This drive, while noble, can also be destructive, causing stress and anxiety that leads to "mommy burnout." Psychologist and family counselor Dr. Sheryl Ziegler is well-versed in the stress that moms face, and the burden of guilt they carry because they often feel like they aren’t doing enough for their kids’ happiness. A mother of three herself, Dr. Z—as she’s affectionately known by her many patients—recognizes and understands that modern moms are all too often plagued by exhaustion, failure, isolation, self-doubt, and a general lack of self-love, and their families are also feeling the effects, too. Over the last nineteen years working with families and children, Dr. Z has devised a prescriptive program for addressing "mommy burnout"—teaching moms that they can learn to re-energize themselves and still feel good about their families and their lives. In this warm and empathetic guide, she examines this modern epidemic among mothers who put their children’s happiness above their own, and offers empowering, proven solutions for alleviating this condition, saving marriages and keeping kids happy in the process.
