Personal Narrative On A Trip From Huey

Improved Essays
A Visit From Huey Knock Knock Knock....I went to the door to see who was knocking. I looked out the peep hole. It was Huey. I remember thinking “omg what is he doing here?” “I’m glad T.J is not here.” I opened the door. Hey mami! I let him in. What 's up Huey! Can I get a hug? Huey asked. Sure. Huey asked how I had been doing. Good I replied! Within a matter of minutes, he looks down at my belly. You pregnant? Huey ask. Yes I responded. What you doing pregnant he replies. I look at him like he 's crazy. He stares at me for a minute and gives me a hug and my son a pound and then says he has to go.

We’re Going To See Daddy

I told him he couldn 't live with me, and his mom didn’t want him living with her anymore either. It was too stressful having him around; having to deal with his alcohol and drug addictions, and deal with these ignorant females he was messing with who had nothing better to do with their time but look my info up in the phonebook, and call me. It was like a breath of fresh air when he left. I took this time that TJ was gone to emotionally and psychologically prepare as much as I possibly could for the day of my birth.

On November 3rd, I went to my doctor’s appointment. I was a week over due, so the doctor was talking about inducing labor. I asked her if there was any way around doing this. She said let’s do an ultrasound and check your amniotic fluid first. I was a little hesitant, but I agreed to this. She asked do you want to find out what you’re having if we can tell? I said sure might as well. When she performed the ultrasound, she said I didn’t have much amniotic fluid surrounding the baby. Because of this, she said it was best to induce me. Afterwards, she attempted to see if she could find out the sex of the baby. The doctor said it was hard to see because the baby was hiding its genital area. She then said “I’m going to try to get the baby to move and see if we can find out”, and as soon as she said that, her ultrasound machine froze up

Holmes, we 're going to induce you tomorrow, you can check into the birthing center tonight. Sorry we couldn’t find out what you are having." My doctor said. Ok, I replied. I remember being really nervous about having to be induced. I had heard horrifying stories about the contractions being more intense and unbearable, and I didn’t want to experience this. I went home and notified my mom and packed my bags. In the birthing center, they had special rooms that allowed for siblings to be a part of the birthing experience, so I packed a bag for Tra too. When my mom arrived to my apartment, we went to the birthing center.

While waiting to be admitted to the birthing center in the waiting room, there was an older brother with I assume his children in there too. After a while, the brother sparked a conversation with me. Nothing long winded....just your basic how are you doing how old is your son. I was thankful for the conversation. It helped take my mind off of my worries. Finally the nurse called for me. They had a room ready for me. Just as I was called for my birthing room, I remember the brother asking me what I wanted to have. I said a baby girl. He responded, you’ll have a girl and after he said that I smiled and

    She was one of the girliest girls I knew since grade school, with her stylish culottes and pink garments of all different shades for all different occasions. She was the epitome of a mixture between pure innocence and quirk that boldly took her rightful place in the middle of my heart. Mary Anne wasn’t just all of that; she was also my affectionate girlfriend, my warm-hearted best friend who I could talk about anything with, from the most trivial things to the very meaning of our whole existence. At the time, all I could feel was the absolute joy that I got from spending my time with her. We had our entire happiness in the future planned out, a dream wedding and all, but maybe that was the reason why I wouldn’t have ever imagined that I would be feeling so lost and empty just a few years later, alone and missing a part of myself.…

    I performed an uncomplicated D&E procedure… went through the task of reassembling the fetal parts in the metal tray. It is an odd ritual that abortion providers perform – required as a clinical safety measure ... – but it also permits us in an odd way to pay respect to the fetus … even as we simultaneously have complete disregard for it. Then I rushed upstairs to take overnight call on labour and delivery. The first patient that came in was prematurely delivering at 23– 24 weeks… Later...…

    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.

I remember the day as if it was yesterday, despite the fact that it took place almost nine years ago.…

    My mom recommended them taking an ultrasound of my stomach to see if they see anything in my stomach that could have triggered the pain. The doctors said that we weren’t going to find anything in there but we will still check. Before they could proceed with anything my mom had to sign a consent waiver stating that they have a right to perform the ultrasound. I remember the nurse putting cold jelly on my stomach asking, “You aren’t sexually active correct? Or any chance you’d be pregnant?”…
