Narrative Essay On Being Pregnant

Decent Essays
Being pregnant at 33 is different; I’m sure it’s going to be a great experience and long ride. The feeling of nausea and dizziness is two of the things I don’t look forward to in the morning before I even plant my feet on the ground, but they are roaring and ready to give me a hell of a time. My little peanut, I refer to my unborn baby is seven weeks this week and I honestly don’t know what we’re having just yet, so I refer to him/her as “Peanut”. I’m adding to the crew, we already have; three boys and a girl. They say that every pregnancy is different and I am here to defiantly here to say that this time around is VERY different than the rest.

I don’t think being pregnant is the scary part. It was more of the conception part of it. My husband and I didn’t plan on getting pregnant, but we did do things to get “Peanut here, so Praise God for the opportunity to be new parents for the third time. When I spoke to my father about being pregnant again, he said; “I love you and the life you produce no matter what, and congratulations to you and my son-in-law.” The spoiled brat that I am told him that I was ready to have a baby for my husband and I know he will be excited. I know, sounds strange, I didn’t tell my husband first, but I was nervous about what he would say. I finally got over that part and we are excited to have Peanut in the oven cooking.

I can’t begin to explain how hard it is to get four children together and explaining that we are going to be one big happy family. I was nervous knowing that I would add another two lives into my life but I was ready. All of my nerves went out the window when I met my stepson Jonathan. I haven’t had a chance to meet my other stepson Jalyn, but I’m sure he is just as handsome and charming as his father. I told my husband that I wanted to make sure all the children get the chance to meet

    I used to think that giving birth was overrated and believed that the emotional rollercoaster leading up the birth was insincere. In my opinion, giving birth had always seemed frightening, long and most of all painful. Surprisingly, my whole outlook on giving birth and its emotional impact changed when I gave birth to my first child, Joy. I remember the day as if it was yesterday, despite the fact that it took place almost nine years ago.…

I can still remember like it was yesterday the day my son was born.…

    To say that my brothers, cousin and I were surprised about Mum’s unexpected pregnancy would be a very large understatement. This happened somewhere around August 2011 and caught the four of us (Will, James, Anthony and I) off-guard because we all thought that James would be the youngest in the family. Naturally, this came with a couple of thoughts of joy, such as my grandparents from my dad’s side would now have a granddaughter for the first time, Mum and Dad, who were ecstatic about the idea of having a daughter to shower as much attention as possible onto and us four boys now having a larger role of responsibility to fill since we’d be looking after her too.
