I am sitting with the father of my baby in the doctor's office, to see how the baby is doing. I'm not sure what to expect but I don't know if it's good or bad news. So far I'm been feeling nervous and honestly prefer being anywhere but here. When the doctor comes I start hoping there's nothing wrong, and that the baby is perfectly fine. “We couldn't find a heartbeat” the doctor said, “This means you had a miscarriage”. I couldn't believe that I had a miscarriage. “This can't be happening I've been taking good care of myself" I thought how could this be possible if I was following what the doctor told me to do to keep the baby healthy. I couldn't stop crying, I kept blaming myself and how I should've taken better care of the baby and myself.
If I could teach a pregnant mother it would be 1st trimester of pregnancy. I think that the 1st trimester is very important. Just knowing something grown inside of you and it’s also become a part of you. I would start talking about how the hormonal changes will affect almost every organ in your body. The swollen on her body may protrude the frequent urination, weight gain or loss and maybe an experience of discomfort. I would go to detail about how 4 weeks your baby development nervous system and heart begin to form. At 8 weeks the baby embryo to develop into a fetus. All major organs have begun to form, the sex organs begin to form and the nerves and muscles begin to work together. I would like to tell her everything she would want to know about her baby. The considering stage of a
The doctor calls your house asking for you to come down to his office to talk. As you walk in, you feel your heart in your throat. As he sits the two of you down he begins, "There is a problem we need to discuss. We received your test results back." He continues by telling you that you 're having trouble conceiving because of a genetic abnormality you never even knew you had. Your mind races and your heart sinks. How is this possible? You never thought you would have to deal with not being able to have a baby one day. "There are several options you have to try and conceive without passing on the genetic abnormality " the doctor continues to explain, but the one I would recommend first is Pre Implantation Genetic Diagnosis." You and your
Have your ever thought what life would be like if one of your siblings weren’t born? I’ve thought what life would be like without my sister Kylie. Or what life would be like if my Mom didn’t have a miscarriage. My sister Jaclyn might not even be here if my Mom didn’t have a miscarriage. You will love your family more than anyone you ever meet. You will always love your family in your heart even if you say you don’t, and you will always regret how little time you spent with a family member before the family member dies.
As she walks into the room, all I could see is her eyes overflowing with tears. I turn over to find my sister also tearing up. We all come together for a hug. I try not to cry as it was embarrassing for me. It would have shown that I wasn’t prepared. But to be honest nobody was prepared. I mean why would they. It was a hospital. As everything starts to settle down, I glance around the room to see most of the people are women. Not just regular women. Pregnant women. They had babies inside of them. One was inside of my mom. Why would a place safe for pregnant women actually turn out to be life threatening?
"Okay, I guess. Whatever," After this news, I just didn't want to talk. Within ten minutes, we had made it downstairs and my belly was scanned. I was shown my baby's fetus and just couldn't handle it. I left and went to my room. This day had just taken a turn for the worse and I didn't want to think
According to CDC.gov, about 730,322 legal induced abortions were reported to the CDC from 49 reporting areas in 2011, that’s not considering the other legal abortions that weren’t reported or the abortions that were done “under the hood”. That counts for over 730,322 innocent lives lost due to thoughtlessness, carelessness, and in the worst cases rape and incest but according to The New York Times those cases only count for 1% of the abortion cases reported every year. Since abortion was legalized in 1973, there have been 54,559,615 reported abortion cases. I am Pro-Life, I believe that no matter what, under no circumstances should innocent blood be shed. I understand that in rape victims it’s a more sensitive matter but it’s not the child’s fault that the situation
Mercy Hospital was only a 11 minute drive from my house at the time. The only problem with that was my mother having to take the bus while a whole blizzard was going underway. In Chicago busses run from six in the morning till around one in the morning with each bus passing within 13 min intervals. My father was at work his shift was from one in the morning until around noon at that time. Surprisingly enough, she got on that very first bus feeling those awful contractions and she pushed through them. Once she arrived at the hospital she called my dad who was worried that she was alone in the hospital. My aunt arrived at the hospital 30 minutes later to accompany my mother and later my dad arrived. My father had never seen any of his other 3 daughter being born, so I was his first. The pain my mother was put through was excruciating. It was a very emotional, yet painful day. “It’s Twins!” the doctor tells my mother and father. It was a very unexpected moment. They pull my little sister out first, the doctor looks down and tells my parents that she was dead. Her little skin gave off this burnt look all around. The doctors never explained what exactly happened to her, my mother certainly didn’t look like she was having twins. It hardly seemed as if she was having one baby for that matter. My father was cried as he held my little sister and my mother didn’t have
Experiencing a miscarriage can be a very painful and frustrating time for a man and a woman, especially if this is their first time to have an offspring and they have already seen the scan of their baby. This could be a difficult time and some would not want to try anytime soon because of the fear of losing once again.
I was very distraught if I kept the baby at the age of eighteen; still a senior in high school is absurd. I then, look online on a few hospitals; while I search for a hospital, stumble on one that was all about abortion. I picked up the phone and started to dial their phone number. As the phone rang, a receptionist answers the phone, and said, “Hello, thank you for calling Regional Abortion Center, this is Kate, how may I help you?” I stutter and grasp for my words to come out, “Hi, I... I… want to schedule appointment for an umm…ah… umm… abortion.” “Alright, let me check the schedule here. Ma’am is this your first time?” said Kate. “Yes.” I answer. Then she went on about information for abortion and suddenly I felt this slow movement inside
Miscarriage is the most common complication of pregnancy in the United States, occurring in 15-20% of clinically-recognized pregnancies, or ~1,000,000 cases annually. - Despite its frequency, the majority of Americans believe that it is a rare complication occurring in 5% or fewer of all pregnancies. Miscarriage can be an unexpected and emotionally devastating diagnosis for patients and their partners with studies showing that some women may suffer from psychological morbidity for months after the miscarriage and even into subsequent pregnancies. Our recent study revealed that those who have suffered a miscarriage frequently feel guilty, isolated and alone. Additionally, there are widespread misperceptions as to the
It was the day before. Everything was going as usual. I went to work, came home, and had dinner. Sometime during that evening I felt a pain here and there. It seemed normal to me like something I’ve felt before. My mother called me to check on me as usual. I explained to her the pain I was feeling. She says to me “Girl you’re in labor”. Thinking to myself if this is labor then I can deal with this. So like channel 6 she spread the news. One by one my sister Erica shows up, and my mother comes with my youngest sister and cousin.
Before I could even think the words “NO!” come slipping out. The doctor suggest that I take a week to think about it and come back. I leave the doctors office shaking and crying not knowing what to do or say.I feel stuck like a statue. As I head back to my culinary school I keep getting even more nervous,as I am dreading telling the father of the child that I pregnant. I try to eat lunch but I was to nauseous and nerves us to even eat. Seeing as it was a Friday I planned on telling him before I left for home for the weekend but I ended up getting to scared. So over the weekend I texted him telling him I was pregnant, he denied thinking that I was lying. Until I came back to school on Monday and showed him and he believed me but told me he doesn't want it and I should get an abortion. As I stand thinking maybe I should get an abortion. I look down and realize this is my baby I don't have to. A week goes by I go back to the doctors and I tell the doctor I'm choosing to keep the baby and she walks me through what I should do to keep this baby and me
Do you think that there are teens pregnant here at Mclane? There are a few teens that are pregnant here and they need the best help they can get while going to school. Teens think being pregnant at a young age is cute and easy until they see the difference in they lives. Some parents don’t care what their kids do and let them do whatever and they end up pregnant or on drugs. Teens have a young mind and hasn’t matured up yet and just think it's so easy when it's not. All this teen pregnancy needs to stop its making us teens look bad like that’s all we look forward too when its not , its not cute at all and impressing. Some teens will never understand because they don’t care about nothing.
Pregnancy is meant to be an exciting happy time; not only for the mother, but for the whole family and friends. So, when a woman miscarries, the psychological impact/ trauma is unbearable and very devastating. The experience and feeling of loss, grief, guilt, and shame caused by a miscarriage can take a toll on everyone. These feelings can also turn into a major depression in some women and possible questions of what could have I done differently, or feeling like you had a hand it in can start to surface.
Finding out I was going to have a baby ended as soon as my love started. A harsh scar is left on my heart, it feelings never healing. Till this day I still feel as it’s all my fault. Sometimes I feel that I did all I could’ve like taking prenatals, never smoked, and never drank alcohol or caffeine, started eating better, and even did yoga. I did all of these and more, but It seemed to not be enough. During the days of my miscarriage, I felt the worst pain that I’ve ever felt and in the end my body gave birth to death. The only rewarding gift I received was agony. I never got to see our baby grow or got to hold it. Days past, I had resentment for bad mothers, even my oldest sister. In between I had baby fever. I want to try again like my life
