My Life Being A Mom Welcoming New Life

On March 30, as of three thirty in the morning, my life has officially changed. The labor pains had set in and it was time to have a baby. I had never felt a pain so excruciating in my life, and I thought that cramps were terrible, labor pains do not even compare. I climbed the stairs to my aunts room to let her know that it was time to go to the hospital. After watching her run around the room frantically she finally was able to rush me to the hospital. She zoomed through street lights rushing for fear that I may have the baby in the car and she would pass out. Had

One night as I searched for my mother, my dad told me she was not feeling like herself. My dad told me to let her rest that night and I could talk to her the following morning. As I started to wake up the next morning my father was sitting at the foot of my bed and informed me I’d be spending the day with my Aunt Michelle because my mother had a doctor’s appointment. I could not wrap my head around why I would not be attending this appointment but had attended all the others. Later that evening once again both my parents came into my room but this time without smiles. With a shaky voice my mom began to tell me she had been diagnosed with Preeclampsia and her illness was progressing quickly. Now with tears running down her face she continued

I was 33 years old on November 9th, 2000. My family was made of myself, my husband, Doug, my daughter, Haley, and our dog, Josie. Haley was only 2 years and 9 months old at the time of the birth of her new baby brother, but I wasn’t quite sure how she would handle not having all of the attention. I could tell something was off from the moment I woke up that day. To start, Haley wouldn’t stop crying from the moment she woke up. As for me, I was feeling sick, and was having a few contractions here and there. I was packing my things for the hospital because I was scheduled to have a C-section November 10th. Afternoon came and my condition was getting worse and worse, things got so bad that Doug and I decided we should go to the hospital. I was mortified because I just needed the baby to wait a couple more hours. I could not have this baby come out of the birth canal, my

So I'm sitting in my living room watching SportsCenter seemed a little quiet it was really sunny day seemed perfect In a way but something off I could just feel it for some reason I didn't know what it was but something was not right soI call my wife and check on the kids the kids are in school are fine my wife is fine but I can feel something isn't right I don't know what it is that night I go to bed still wondering what's wrong it was bothering me all day but I still don't know what it is it was killing me insideThe next day I woke up I still hadn't noticed what it was and so I started talking to my wife and I realize that she's smiling at me and I can't tell why she keeps smiling as I'm talking and she keeps smiling and I And I ask her what's wrong why you smiling she says nothing back then I get a little worried I don't know what's going on so I asked her again why you smiling and she says mellow I've got something to tell you and I say what is that she says in a very quaint and quiet voiceI'm pregnant for a second I don't think it's realI think I'm in a dream take a deep breath and I pinch myself literally I pinch myself and said the word I'm so happy I cannot wait but on the inside I was so worried how we were going to support three kids it was going through my mind I've arty got to I can't I don't know if I can handle the responsibility of 30 seems like my whole world is coming to an end at that pointSo I had to get away from everything for a little bit so I told my

During the second trimester is when my mother Donna, found out that she was pregnant with me. One morning she got out of the bed doing her normal routine and went to use the restroom where she then passed out on the bathroom floor. My father Patrick, rushed her to Florida memorial hospital in Miami dade county. She said that she woke up and Dr. Joeseph walked into the room, and told her that she was dehydrated and not getting taking in enough iron. Dr. Joseph then proceeded to include, as he handed her an ultra sound picture that she was thirteen weeks pregnant with me. She was in shock, because she said that she always knew when she was pregnant from having two pregancies prior to me there was always a sign but this time it wasn't because she was still having a menstral cycle.

I knew something was wrong. The next two weeks went by with the exact symptoms; my stomach was in a knot, the smell of food made me want to vomit, and all I wanted to do was sleep. One afternoon I finally made myself take a pregnancy test. The faded second line had my heart into a million pieces. At seventeen years old I Brooke Nardoni was pregnant. As I was hysterically bailed my eyes out and thought my life was over. I ended up telling my mom the next day after school. We both cried what has happened but she encouraged me that I would do the right thing and she would be by my side every step of the way no matter what I choose to do with my

I was fascinated to understand how human being was growing inside me. However, I also know that this isn't the case for everyone. Some women have tough pregnancies and don't enjoy the ride. They are on countdown for baby to enter the world. Medical complications and body confidence can have a real effect on women through pregnancy, it does effect us all differently.

It was late February in 1998 when I found out I was expecting another child. I was 16 years old. It should have been a happy day it was my daughter’s 1st birthday party and everyone was there. The house was full of family and friends and smelled of chill and cake. Please don’t get me wrong, it was a happy day for the most part until I found out I was pregnant. Scared and not knowing what to do, I kept this what most would call exciting news to myself. You see I was dating a man and he was not a very nice person he was mentally and physically abusive to me most of our relationship and he was the soon to be father. A month or so went by after I told him and we were both somewhat excited him more than I. I was more scared then anything. He managed to get himself into some legal trouble and was sent away for a long time. Where did that leave me? I was scared to death

we talked for two months and on December fifthteenth two thousand and thirteen he decided to ask if i would go out with him and weve been growing since then, In two thousand and fourteen we found out we where going to be having a baby my pregnancy was going great we soon found out we where going to be having a baby boy yay! it was exactly what we wanted. Awhile down my pregnancy i started noticing things like my feet would swell so bad i couldnt wear shoes and i started gaining tons of weight i started asking around, googling it, and talking to my doctor i soon discovered what i thought i had was preeclampsia what is preeclampsia? preeclampsia is when pregnant girls bodys start to obtain water after awhile of having this it starts to shut down your organs. My husband and i asked to test me for it multiple times and he wouldnt months later i started to have this weird pain in the upper part oif my stomach this went on for three days it slowly got worse everyday on the third day i could no longer sleep so i decided to go to the emergency room.They did a bunch of blood work and it came back i had preeclampsia and my liver was failing i had to have an emergency c-

I can honestly say going through labor was the most painful thing I had ever experienced. Once Freddrick finally did arrived I knew that I would love him unconditionally for the rest of my life. He was just as precious as he could be and didn’t have a worry in this world. I didn’t know the type of mother I would be, but I was determined to be a different type of teenage mother. I wanted to show everyone I might be young with a son, but I made sure Freddrick was taken care of financially, Freddrick came first in my life at all times, Freddrick had disciplined in his life, and that he would know that mommy would always love him regardless of what happens through life.

"Childbirth Animation Video"- What was interesting about the process of child birth is how the body prepares itself slowly for the baby to come. Also what is interesting is the fact that even after the baby is born, the birthing process is not over. As, the woman must deliver the placenta if she is giving brith vaginally. She will continue to have mild contractions, till the placenta has come out. I though it was insightful that despite the mother having mild contractions to deliver the placenta, she can hold and bond with the baby.As her bundle of joy, will take her mind of the pain.

I will never forget the moment my labor began, the moment that marked that step in my journey into motherhood. I can remember everything about it so clearly. My mom, fiancé, and I woke up early Friday morning to make our way to Western Missouri Medical Center. I stood in front of the mirror looking at my belly knowing it would be my last time standing in that bathroom with my baby inside of me still. It was a bittersweet moment that I cherished as long as I possibly could. I was set to be induced that morning and very excited, yet a little bit nervous. I had no idea what to expect. I’d been waiting a very long 37 weeks to finally meet this precious human that had been growing inside me. I had ideas of what he might look like, and what the experience might be like, however nothing could have prepared me for what was in store over the next few days.

Life is a rollercoaster, but I am grateful to be living it with my family and friends. My family has taught me many lessons that I will always apply to my decision making for the rest of my life. Loyalty, honesty, and respect has been taught to me ever since I learned how to speak. The communication between my family and I is very important because I know that my voice matters. Support will always be something that my parents continue to give me even when I fail. My family and friends has shaped who I am today and I will always be thankful for having them in my life.

At the age of 18 months old I was officially adopted from Guatemala and brought to Michigan, where I would live and grow up with my new adoptive parents and brother. I know that this has immensely shaped the course of my life. Because of my parents I was able to attend a good, private school from kindergarten on, and thus go onto acquire a college education from another Christian institution. Because of this I was able to live a relatively comfortable life surrounded by people who love and support me.
