My Pregnancy
HER FIRST BIRTHDAY
I found out that I was pregnant about two months into the full nine. Like most surprised teens I denied it. I was a straight A student and goig places in my life. I didn't think I needed "this thing" to mess it all up.
Telling my mom was the hardest part. I would sit in my room and cry without anyone knowing. I finally had some one else tell her for me because I was too afraid of disappointing her. I see now that I should have told her myself and been more open.
Unlike what you hear from most, I had no morning sickness or cravings of any kind. No one even blieved that I was pregnant until half way into my fourth month when I had to start wearing maternity clothes. My favorite part was the jeans. For some reason they always felt more comfortable than my regular ones. Through it all, I progressed nine months beatifully never varing off of the chart until the end.
After two over my due date, my doctor decided to induce labor. For some labor induction is easy, but not for me. Twenty-one hours (one and a half of that pushing) Morgan Abigail was born at 3:42AM. No matter how funny you feel in childbirth classes, it can fabsolutely save your life or that of your child. I was thakful for having attended class because there I learned what to do when the baby is classified as critical during birth. I would never have understood the nurse's instructionds without having already been over them. Word from the wise: "Read and learn everything you can. It will help, but it will never totally prepare you for what is ahead."
