![]() | Nikki Dyer @NikkiOTDyer @LaughingOT @BillWongOT @OTalk_ [REDACTED USER] #OTalk this is my first time with you guys... I’m listening! |
![]() | Maria U @Mur5e11 @LaughingOT @OTalk_ [REDACTED USER] Oh in technology neverland! I will try to keep up with #otalk from hackneyb london. |
![]() | #OTalk @OTalk_ Some words from @LaughingOT #OTalk |
![]() | #OTalk @OTalk_ Question 1 #OTalk |
![]() | Bill Wong, OTD, OTR/L @BillWongOT @LaughingOT @OTalk_ hard topic for me today. So I am venturing a guess. I think socialization when out in the community- especially with dealing with friends who have children. #otalk |
![]() | #OTalk @OTalk_ Most of them? Those trying with difficulty may find themselves too preoccupied/distracted to fully engage/participate? #Otalk |
![]() | Maria U @Mur5e11 @LaughingOT @OTalk_ #otalk i think at the time you find out it will affect all your occupations because it affects your occupational identity... |

![]() | #OTalk @OTalk_ Another question from @LaughingOT? #OTalk |
![]() | Bill Wong, OTD, OTR/L @BillWongOT [REDACTED USER] @LaughingOT @OTalk_ Yes- sometimes some cultures will frown upon women who can't have children naturally. #otalk |
![]() | Bill Wong, OTD, OTR/L @BillWongOT RT @LaughingOT: @OTalk_ #OTalk the other day I saw a tweet on here about how as OTs we shouldn't be involved in sex as an occupation. Had t… |
![]() | #OTalk @OTalk_ #Otalk https://t.co/QzvX7zU7uw |
![]() | Maria U @Mur5e11 @BillWongOT [REDACTED USER] @LaughingOT @OTalk_ Yes. And women themselves (and men) judge themselves by this as the meanings they grew up with. #otalk |
![]() | #OTalk @OTalk_ RT @LaughingOT: @BillWongOT @OTalk_ #OTalk perfect Bill, it is not only being not allowed into children and parent spaces e.g. child area o… |
![]() | Bill Wong, OTD, OTR/L @BillWongOT @LaughingOT @OTalk_ and sometimes with the age of social media, some of them could wish they have the abilities to have children after seeing pictures. #otalk |
![]() | #OTalk @OTalk_ Great point #OTalk |
![]() | Bill Wong, OTD, OTR/L @BillWongOT @LaughingOT @Mur5e11 @OTalk_ yes- even at work for sure. I think my family probably is an exception where I have never heard either of my parents attending baby showers and they rarely attend weddings. #otalk |
![]() | Maria U @Mur5e11 @LaughingOT @OTalk_ When people say they choose not to have a child, it seems hard to carry on the conversation. It seems it's not in our cultural language #otalk |
![]() | Bill Wong, OTD, OTR/L @BillWongOT RT @LaughingOT: @AP_almost_an_OT @OTalk_ #OTalk I read one article which said people, women especially, need to chose between pity and sham… |
![]() | Bill Wong, OTD, OTR/L @BillWongOT @LaughingOT @AP_almost_an_OT @OTalk_ yes- I know a friend of mine who chooses not to have kids and she is content with it. It's an exception for sure rather than the norm. #otalk |
![]() | Maria U @Mur5e11 [REDACTED USER] @LaughingOT @OTalk_ #otalk i avoid all celebrations ;p |
![]() | #OTalk @OTalk_ @Mur5e11 @LaughingOT Oh yes, i know that stunned silence lol #Otalk |
![]() | Bill Wong, OTD, OTR/L @BillWongOT @LaughingOT @Mur5e11 [REDACTED USER] @OTalk_ absolutely... I think location might be a weaker link, since sometimes that can happen during if some people are in school. So, they will have to keep up with their roles as students while bracing for future motherhood (if it's their first one). #otalk |
![]() | #OTalk @OTalk_ We are half way through tonights #OTalk with @LaughingOT. 30 minutes left 👍🏻 https://t.co/RVabq4yytx |
![]() | #OTalk @OTalk_ RT @LaughingOT: [REDACTED USER] @OTalk_ #OTalk but it is an occupation greatly affected by infertility, it becomes a job, a broken body so b… |
![]() | Becky Bamford @wbbambam @OTalk_ @LaughingOT Surely we should be involved in any occupation which is meaningful to the client (and the client is open to engage with). Sex when trying for a child becomes even more multifaceted and meaningful #otalk |
![]() | Becky Bamford @wbbambam @OTalk_ @LaughingOT Sex will also be seen differently by different couples - a joy / a chore / connection/ mechanics. is There research in fertility and approach to sex? You hear a lot of hearsay about the stress of conceiving hindering success #otalk |
![]() | #OTalk @OTalk_ Interesting idea....#OTalk |
![]() | OTMargaret @margaret_ot @OTalk_ [REDACTED USER] @LaughingOT #OTalk I am listening in tonight. Have friends in this situation, one accepted it the other struggled. Both needed tactful sensitive care. Struck by the aspects of grief and loss - also experienced by parents with children suffering severe disability. OTs can help with these area |

![]() | Bill Wong, OTD, OTR/L @BillWongOT @wbbambam @OTalk_ @LaughingOT yes- I think that also ties into dating, too. #otalk |
![]() | OTMargaret @margaret_ot @LaughingOT @OTalk_ #OTalk Occupations that are affected r the planning, buying and celebrating that accompany pregnancy and birth. |
![]() | Maria U @Mur5e11 @LaughingOT [REDACTED USER] @OTalk_ Paying for percieved personal failings may lead to acceptance of abuse and other risks...or are these dark occupations? #otalk the role of OT would be to facilitate a new valued occupational identity? |
![]() | OTMargaret @margaret_ot @Mur5e11 @LaughingOT @OTalk_ #OTalk I have met younger couples who are choosing not to have children as they have strong views on the environment /population levels etc. I think that's brave but not a decision I would make. |

![]() | OTMargaret @margaret_ot @Mur5e11 @LaughingOT @OTalk_ #OTalk Also I suppose this is voluntary choice, not involuntary. |
![]() | #OTalk @OTalk_ @LaughingOT into the last 15 minutes of tonights #OTalk |
![]() | OTMargaret @margaret_ot @LaughingOT @BillWongOT @OTalk_ #OTalk I have one friend who is single, she has godchildren and many good friends who include her in family activities and fun. Really important we include people who would like children in family Occupations, board games, days out, etc |

![]() | Becky Bamford @wbbambam [REDACTED USER] @OTalk_ @LaughingOT That is unbelievably sad. What a decision to have to make. Can imagine this would have a huge impact on mental health, could be very shaming #otalk |
![]() | Bill Wong, OTD, OTR/L @BillWongOT [REDACTED USER] @LaughingOT [REDACTED USER] Yes- I have an OT friend who adopted a special needs kiddo recently. I think her parents played a role because her sister was also adopted. #otalk |
![]() | #OTalk @OTalk_ How do we think we as OTs can support those going through involuntary childlessness or a difficult conception process? #OTalk |
![]() | Bill Wong, OTD, OTR/L @BillWongOT RT @LaughingOT: @wbbambam @OTalk_ #OTalk the research shows mainly a deteriorating sex life, described as work and no longer fun. For me pe… |
![]() | Becky Bamford @wbbambam @OTalk_ @LaughingOT I would be interested to see if the expectations of roles and gender impact working with men in this area. I can imagine for both genders there could be an element of shame - we feel our bodies should do what we’re told they’re ‘made for’ #otalk |
![]() | Bill Wong, OTD, OTR/L @BillWongOT @wbbambam [REDACTED USER] @OTalk_ @LaughingOT Will be interesting for those of us who work with older adults to compare and contrast our patients who have children and those who don't. #otalk |
![]() | #OTalk @OTalk_ Any thoughts on this #OTalk? |
![]() | Bill Wong, OTD, OTR/L @BillWongOT Side comment- I never was asked to be a godfather yet. I wonder how many OT's would sign up for me to be for their kids' godfather. #otalk |
![]() | Bill Wong, OTD, OTR/L @BillWongOT @LaughingOT [REDACTED USER] @wbbambam @OTalk_ Since I am on the single market, I believe it would have been a matter of discussion at some point. So far I had not gone far enough with someone about kids yet. #otalk |
![]() | Becky Bamford @wbbambam @OTalk_ I think it will vary so much on the person. You need to find the meaning of their experience, identify what is impacting them negatively and look at how this can be adapted to fit more in line with their goals #otalk |
![]() | Maria U @Mur5e11 @OTalk_ I think culture and upbringing are strong influences on men's expectations too, and how they respond to unforeseen challenges #otalk |

![]() | Bill Wong, OTD, OTR/L @BillWongOT @Mur5e11 @OTalk_ Yes- my family actually would love me to have kids by now. But, I haven't found my Ms. Right. So, they just told me to be patient. #otalk |
![]() | #OTalk @OTalk_ Last five minutes, any final thoughts or take home messages? #OTalk @LaughingOT |
![]() | Becky Bamford @wbbambam @OTalk_ @LaughingOT I’m very much in support of OTs working in areas like this and hope we embrace such a role. I think there’s such important work we can do around transitions and roles. It makes me think back to ‘doing, being, becoming’ and working with those who struggle to ‘become’ #otalk |
![]() | Maria U @Mur5e11 [REDACTED USER] @OTalk_ #otalk it makes me think of the y shaped model but also need to address the limitations of the social environment |

![]() | #OTalk @OTalk_ Great final thought from @wbbambam #OTalk |
![]() | Becky Bamford @wbbambam [REDACTED USER] @OTalk_ [REDACTED USER] I suspect so also. Although I’ve had my eyes open with working with men who have experienced birth trauma. It made me realise we can neglect (or assume) the needs of men in relation to conception/ childbirth #otalk |
![]() | Maria U @Mur5e11 [REDACTED USER] [REDACTED USER] @OTalk_ Oh it might be a psychology model... About coming to terms with loss of an imagined identity and making an alternative that fits your narrative #otalk |
