The most memorable and life changing experience I had lasted 9 months. I soon went from total joy to wanting to die. I would lay in bed curled up praying that God would let it be over even if over included my life. I‘ve learned that bringing a child into the world can be one of the most gratifying experiences of a woman’s life and in some cases one of the worst. When I first received the news that I was expecting I was ecstatic. For some reason I didn’t believe I could have children, since I had been informally trying for quite some time. I realize that 26 may not sound to old to many, but it made me feel like an old maid. I felt that I was less than a woman if I could not produce a child. The day I got the news will remain one of the happiest for the rest of my life. The thought of pregnancy as enjoyable because the miracle of life was working within me. I was amazed at how the cycle of life worked and honored to be a part of it. My expectant glow soon turned in to screams of anguish. The doctors called it morning sickness, but to me it was hell. I couldn’t eat anything. My body would not even accept water, the most essential nutrient. The worst part was the intense abdominal and lower back pain. I was offered all types of advice, by love ones and doctors, on how to make the morning sickness less severe from chewing on candied ginger root to wearing a motion sickness bracelet. Needless to say, none of it worked. I began to get excited again around the end of my first trimester.
