EXPERIENCE GIVNG BIRTH TO MY SON AT AGE 19
Although, I had one child before
marrying my husband and he brought 2 children into the marriage I do not
believe in saying step children. I will
give an overview of my pregnancy of my son “Phillip”. I still had a cycle and was able to fit all
of my clothing. How I found out was
talking to a friend on the phone and tell her about a dark line in the middle
of stomach area. Not knowing what’s
going on also, my baby sister ease dropping on the phone Sharon says, “LaWana”
I think you are going to have a baby.
This noise sister of mine goes to phone our parents, and tells the
conversation, I was having with Sharon.
My parents idmitily get off the plane in Los Vegas and come straight
back to Chicago. My parents came home and ask the crazy
question which, “You having a cycle”! I
answered truthfully, yes. While working
at the hospital dad played a sick to get me off work and go to the doctor with
him. I was so thirst while waiting for
him. I asked his nurse where’s the water fountain.
Never will I forget Nurse Debbie saying drink about glass of water
and you feel much better. Yes, I did
drink the 8 glass of water only to tell my dad once he came out of the room
with the nurse and doctor my head and stomach was hurting very badly. I must have regurgitate at least 3 ti 4 times
within 3 minutes. Nurse Debbie asked my
dad if, he wanted me to be seen, and with that said my exam begun. She told me to get all the way undress and
took my urine, and blood followed up by an Ultra Sound.
Nurse Debbie shows the ultra
sound picture to me, of a child with all body parents and suggest that I need
tell my father. See my parents took us
to school and picked each child up and could not believe this happen. From the Ultra Sound and exam the doctor
tells us I’m 7 months with 2 months to go.
October of 1978, I remember it being sunny and very hot outside. My brother had to carry me out of the house
due to our steps were being replaced. My
father was yelling out to my mother and sister to hurry and get me to the
hospital.
On this day I was to go get
and Ultra Sound and a test to see if, the baby could take labor pains. This was because, my baby never moved about a
stayed in the same position. On this day
he decided to move about and dial was where it needed to be. As, I was getting quickly prep the nurse
drops a big tube of my blood, blood pressure rising, and mom trying to calm me
down, and sister holding my hand saying, “ you doing fine”. Now the doctors tells me to push due to the
head is ready to come out. I push my
child’s head out and then pass totally out on the table.
This was due to me being diagnose as having a sleeping disorder at
that time it was called “Narcolepsy”. Narcolepsy
is a “Narcolepsy is a neurological disorder that affects the control of sleep
and wakefulness, and the person can go to sleep at any given time”, and this is
what happen to me. My mom, brother and
sister had to finish my devilry by pushing down very hard on the belly, and the
doctor using forceps to pull his arms out.
It’s a wonder no damage came to the baby. He was a health 6 pounds and 13 Oz’s. I did not regain conscious until the next day
in the afternoon. The doctors treated me
with kindness and make sure I had the proper medication before allowing me to
stay alone with my son. As, I grew older
the “Narcolepsy” has now flip over to “Sleep Apnea”. Still today I’m being treated for “Sleep
Apnea” and have to use oxygen due to my levels drop at night and sleep with a
mass. I’m very grateful for having
birth a wonderful son and being united with two other children whom, admires my
ambition to strive and conquer the goals which, I have set forth for me.
