Childbirth

It was a hot day in June.  I was starting to feel the toll of the added weight that pregnancy added to my body. The day started out as normal with cleaning and then cooking.  I experienced complications throughout this pregnancy but this particular day was different.  By evening, things started to change, I started experiencing pain that I had never felt before, more frequent and more severe.  I became very nervous and woke my husband so we could go to the hospital.  Once I arrived, I was taken to labor and delivery immediately due to previous complications.  I felt apprehensive and overwhelmed of the fact that I was about to become a mother, responsible for another human being. The baby was delivered by noon the following day.  My first impression when I saw him has been described to me as shock.  Naturally, the motherly-instinct began.  This was a special moment in my life where I thought I was not prepared at all but I really was! Preparation is key to any task including childbirth, mentally and physically. 

As my son grew older, I learned to teach him based on his personality.  We grew and learned together.  This was an experience I will never forget.  The care I received during my pregnancy allowed me to have a healthy and well-nourished child with no major health issues.  This is a key factor in child development, this will allow them to focus better on the task at hand.
