Terrifying choking incident, can't stop consciousness guilty?
Yesterday my 8 month old son choked on something in the grass while we were waiting for a tow truck. He didn't cause any noise, but his eyes bugged out, and I tried to dig it out of his throat, and I couldn't, I smacked his back, I held him upside down to see if it would slop out and he started to go limp, I was sure he be going to die, when a cop just happened to be there and he grab my son and did some sort of maneuver and cigarette butt flew out of his mouth! Then he checked him over, made sure he was ok, handed him back and said he would be fine, and he is.
THe with the sole purpose thing is, I can't get off the adrenaline rush, and have a feeling like I am having a heart attack over it, still. I feel so guilty that I permit him choke, I feel like a bad, discouraging parent.
Am I justified or just traumatized? My son is perfectly fine, no permanent effects are apparent but I just feel so horrible.
Has this happen to anyone else? Does the guilt go away or is it still there when the graduate high institution?
your a moment ago tramitized. the only important thing is that hes okay. it wasnt ur guiltiness that he picked it up and ate it. you should just be thankful that hes alive, instead of feeling guilt for what happen.
hey no one is ultimate. if what you tried didnt work put him on his bath and actlike your guna give him cpr. just short the breathing in his mouth just push on his cheat alot. and the guilt will go away. lately know that, thats your baby he loves you no matter what.try to be a little more particular tho Source(s): just trust me
I think almost every parent have an experience like this. And, of course, the guilt is overwhelming. My 2 year old and I be sitting on our porch and the phone rang and I just ran inside for 2 second and came back out and I watched him tip out directly on his back off a 3 foot drop! I felt guilty for weeks - and I still do really. But, not a soul is perfect. There are going to be accidents. Parenting is about doing the best you can.
EVERY PARENT has a horrifying choking story. It is not your defect... just learn how to deal near a choking child and learn from this.
It is scary as heck... my daughter choked on pasta like that... it is the stuff that keep you up at night.
It happens to all of us.

my six month old was choking on a piece of soft preztel and i couldnt win it out and a lady that was in smudge behind me had to get it out i be really shaken up too she said it was ok but i felt like the worse mom contained by the world.
go and sign up for a saftey prevention class at your local heatlh department..
i know how you feel
I found that learning the Heimlich maneuver and CPR helped relieve my tensions when it comes to choking. You would grain so much more confident if you learned them.
Answers: i think it is natural that you would feel fruitless because you were in so much fear of your sons go and it was up to someone else to save him.. but that does NOT mean it be your fault.. kids put thingsin their mouths all the time, you can't stop him from doing that, he is a child and he is exploring...
id say-so you are a little traumatized, it would obviously have be very scary but you shouldn't feel guilty, it be an accident. stop beating yourself up you're not to blame...
btw he is 8 months.. you have frequent more years of him hurting !! he will prob start to learn to walk and fall and hurt himself, when he learn to ride a bike, i guarantee he will fall off and graze himself badly... in attendance are plenty more times to come where you will wish he was contained by cotton wool and that you were able to prevent things from happeneing...
You're a good parent. No parent could possibly ever be perfect. For in a minute, be grateful that the cop was there.
For the future, settle to the Red Cross or ask your doctor's office where you can learn to do the Heimlich maneuver (which is what the cop did) on children and grownups. Learn it, practice it, and afterwards you will always be able to help if someone hard by you is choking. One day you may be able to pay backbone what the cop did for you, by saving some other mother's kid who's choking to death.
dont worry it wasnt ur fault u couldnt draw from it out just be thankful someone did and go on beside ur life
Oh lord. My son have swallowed many things and has cried so hard he couldn't breathe sometimes. Don't verbs, this "guilt" will pass on when you see him walk his first steps or learn something hot as he grows. Things like this happen, forgive yourself if your son is fine. I know when I talk to a nurse or doctor I surface much better, you can always do that. Feel blessed a police officer was there to assist you and that your child didn't swallow it.
Just keep a more watchful eye on him, and remember you can't prevent everything bad that's going to begin. Just do the best you can. Worrying like this shows you're a good mother. :)
Here's a story:
My baby fell rotten my car seat when I like my nephew (10 years weak watch him for a second while I went to grab my purse) he took past its sell-by date his seatbelt on the carseat and dropped him! He was only 6months and wow I was hugely paranoid. I also remember he cried so much when i didn't give him his old milk while my husband was making a tentative bottle. He couldn't breathe and he turned purple. I called 911 and wow I was just soo relieved. Hm...I also remember when he knock his head off a chair onto tile floors.
My kid is fine. hehe.
