Personal Narrative: My Unborn Baby

Improved Essays
It is September 1st. School is starting really soon for me. I was discharged about a week ago but am still pretty sore. Every thing I see in the corner of my eye scares me and makes me scream, thanks to that dreadful foreboding night. I’m scared for Aiden and my unborn baby regardless on what the police officers said. Jason is still out there and can attack at any moment. The police are on high alert and constant search for him but it doesn’t help me sleep at night knowing he can still find me. Principal Jones informed me that he was fired from B-L the day he flipped out at the school a few months ago because I was with Aiden. Maybe that was his motive for doing what he did to me?

I forced myself to make up with him due to the baby, which he still doesn’t know about yet. I keep telling him that I’m just a fan of fried chicken when he asks why it’s all I want to eat. I’m gaining weight like crazy at about a pound a week. Why does pregnancy have all of these side effects?

My current plan is to tell him tonight about the baby. After all I’m already 3 months along. Before I know it I will be 4 months and showing. At least at 4 months you can discover the sex of the baby. Why are there some mothers that choose not to know right away? I have a fellow teacher at B-L who had her first baby last year. It was her FIRST baby and she chose not to know the gender. How can you not want to know? Well thanks for making my shopping easier lady. If I knew it was a boy life would have been easier.

I personally don’t have a preference on gender. As long as he or she is happy and healthy I’m fine. Especially after my attack I fear that my child was damaged. Doctor Ed informed me that it was okay but still. Oh god, look at me. I’m already one of those mothers who are crazy worried about her baby. I have known I am pregnant for a week and my hormones are kicking in. This is going to be a crazy 6

    It has taken me quite a while to decide upon a major, but when I started looking into nursing, it was like everything just clicked. There have been many factors that led to this decision. The biggest one of all is my mother’s last pregnancy. Towards the end of her third trimester, she started having difficulties especially with her blood pressure. I remember being with her in the hospital and watching as a doctor and a couple of nurses fluttered in and out of her room.…

    I am a mother of a five-month-old baby and the first few weeks after becoming a mother were maddening.

Although you hear testimonies from other mothers expressing how difficult are the first few days if not weeks after giving birth, it is not the same when you get to experience it. The first few weeks I was tired all the time not getting enough sleep.…

    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.…

    Being a part of a Human Sexuality course has definitely opened my eyes to many different topics and issues that are occurring around the world. I believe I have lived a very sheltered life after learning about some of these topics, because I hadn’t even heard of most of them. I liked to think I knew all there was to know about human sexuality simply because I understood sexual intercourse, STI`s, and using protection. But human sexuality involves much more than those three things. Three of the major topics that have made me really think about how uneducated I was in regards to human sexuality were sexual birth defects, gender identity and gender roles, and sexual assault.…

    Do gender roles affect a human’s lifestyle down the road? “Highly trained women are scaling back and dropping out of the workforce in high numbers,” according to the author of “Lean In: What Would You Do If You Weren’t Afraid,” by Sheryl Sandberg. Children play an active role in their path to adulthood just from being raised the gender they are. Boys are usually taught to like blue, play with trucks, and help protect the family, whereas girls like pink, dolls, and taking care of the family and home. Penelope Eckert and Sally McConnell-Ginet, authors of “Learning to Be Gendered,” explain throughout their article Simone de Beauvoir’s quote, “women are not born, they are raised.”…
