When I found out I was pregnant with twins I couldn't be more happier. Of course it meant more work but I would do anything for my babies even though they weren't even born yet. One day when my sister and I were driving to the supermarket we got into a car accident, a car rammed into the back or ours and I hit my stomach really hard. Then we saw blood and called the ambulance, I found out I lost one of my babies and couldn't control my anger and sadness. My child did nothing to deserve to die I was disgusted with everyone and everything in the world and couldn't understand WHY. Although I have a beautiful daughter now just to know that she was suppose to have a sister kills me a little bit everyday, Ill never forget about the miscarriage and unfortunately my daughter reminds me of it everyday.
-People don't usually discuss the dangers and risk or pregnancy its something that's only viewed as positive thing , but what if someone gets impregnated by their rapist or looses their life while giving birth. These things are hardly ever discussed. Miscarriage's happen often but aren't really recognized, being pregnant is more than pink and blue and baby showers its completely life changing and I don't think anyone can really understand that affects of being pregnant unless they are pregnant.
Interview
1. How did pregnancy affect you physically, emotionally, or in other ways?
I got fat, but eating was so fun. I didn't expect to feel such a immediate love for someone I didn't know and I didn't want anyone to touch him but me. I love him from the hair on his head to his toes.
2. What did you do, while pregnant, to prepare for giving birth?
I felt like I had a fish swimming around inside me and throwing up was a bitch but after awhile I couldn't see me feet and I wanted the baby to get the fuck out of my stomach. There was no preparing for giving birth, how can I prepare for something I never done I wanted to just go with the flow.
3. What actions and attitudes by specific other people made your pregnancy and birth more joyous? More challenging?
There's nothing joyous about pregnancy until you have the baby in my opinion, you get fat, people keep touching your stomach and sometimes they judge you. Then you have the people that stare or say how big your belly is as if you've magically gone deaf
4. Would you have waited to have your baby knowing everything you know now. (stress,money,restlessness)
No because then I wouldn't have the same kid I do now and I love him to bits
5. How do you feel about teen pregnancy
Shit happens but now a days teens are to dumb to put on a condom, maybe they think that they can get a spot on 16 and pregnant or teen mom.
- My interviewee is a straight forward person and normally always tells it like it is, i like her insights on birth because she doesn't try to sugarcoat it , even though she curses a little to much I like her response to the questions and
