1. How did the pregnany affect the way people treated you
- "I experienced a mixture of treAtments for example, while riding the subway, most people would offer me there seats while some did not, some of my co-wokers said i looked nice while others said I looked like I was getting fat, some people said kind things while Inwas pregnant, and some people did some unkind things
2.What did you do while pregnant to prepare for your pregnancy?
- "The first thing I did was pray every morning for a healthy baby and a safe delivery. Then i would take long walks to help my body get stronger. I also rubbed and talked to my stomach, I made sure all of the phone numbers were posted on the fridge so when it was time to have the baby, the numbers were right there, and lastly, i had a small bag with me ready to go to tje hospital with me"
3. What thoughts and feelings come to mind when you remember giving birth?
- "how fantastic a womans body is. For nine months she has another person growing inside of her. The. This person is born. This person is born from the womans cells and the dad cells. A person that is. Brand new, linked to parents but, has his/her own identity. This is amazing. Also I remember is the extreme pain, but once the baby is born, the pain stops and appears to be forgotten. I also remember the instant bonding between mother and child"
KAYLA: I think that the response to your blog was nice and not so nice. When the person you interviewed talked about some people telling her she looked nice while she was pregnant, was a very nice thing to say. This probably made her feel good; but the people who told her that she looked fat, their comments were mean. Of course she looked fat, she was having a baby.
ReplyDeleteI also liked the comments about having a person growing inside of a pregnant woman. I watched a show that showed how a baby is cells and blood vessels at first then the head and body start to form. I guess each baby born does have his or her own identity because we each get our own name.
