Just came across a piece of literature in my honours research that suggests that women should be allowed to recover in a unit separate to the postnatal unit if they experienced loss. I think this is damn accurate, because I remember when I had Paterson and for my entire Stay most of the women in my room had either children in NICU or a couple had actually lost their child. I remember thinking how hard it would be for them to be hearing newborn babies cry or to hear the adjacent family next to you gawking at this new life with love and admiration, meanwhile they lie in their bed alone and distraught without their child in their arms. They see midwives coming and going every hour of the day tending to these mothers of new little boys and girls yet they’re receiving different support. I don’t think they should be restricted from staying in the unit if they wish but I think it would be amazing to see either a small unit specifically for bereaving mothers or if they can access a bed in an alternate unit which is still not ideal. I’m not actually sure if this is permitted currently in hospitals. But I just thought it so apt to see it written in research after I remember saying when I was in the postnatal ward how hard it would be for these mums. 😓

People are very critical of things like participation ribbons and such saying "the real world won't give you awards for showing up, gotta prepare kids for the real world" but you know what else is in the real world, gay people and people wanna hide that fact from kids indefinitely lol
