Throughout my pregnancy I was not able to hold down any food even my favorite ones, sometimes even water; my nose was so sensitive I could smell the pee in the toilet from the bathroom to the kitchen. During my second trimester I learned by five months the sex of the baby and able to feel the baby squirming inside the womb. I was rooting for a boy but as life would have it I was blessed with a girl. At about this stage in pregnancy is when all the emotional situations, kick-in like getting so angry over someone crunching ice with their mouth wide open like a cow. By my third trimester my body was starting to get very uncomfortable and cramp up, if I stood for too long my feet would hurt terribly and if I sat down for too long my butt would start to go numb.Which did not help with the loss of sleep laying down on either side and on my back was uncomfortable, I started sleeping a little elevated. After all the family and love it was time for pain the greatest pain I’ve ever felt my entire life was to …show more content…
I practiced my breathing before so I can use to leading up for this moment but the pain as it grew started to feel unbearable my breathing would slowly turn into screams (yearning) of pain. They say giving birth is like feeling 20 fractured bones at the same time, well my cervix was expanding to fit the circumference of about 30 to 40 cm is generally how big a baby’s head gets. As bold as I was I did it all natural, I wanted to say I did it without it and I did.
