SHARE MY STORY....
Well I would like to tell you a little bit about myself. I am a 30 year old
African-American female living in the Jacksonville, FL area. Within the last 2
weeks my life has turned upside down. I finally got the courage to leave an
abusive relationship after 2 years trying to stay and make it work. The reason I
finally decided to leave was because I was 16 weeks pregnant and started to
think about my unborn child growing inside of me. I had a previous pre-term
pregnancy and my little girl did not make it. God knows how bad I want to be a
mother and I felt this was my chance. I wanted to protect myself and my unborn
child. I decided on May 29th that this will be the last time you put your hands
on me.
Then the worst happened, June 8th my water broke and I was devastated. I
was scared, the doctors let me know that the outcome would not be good because I
did not have much amniotic fluid left in my sack. I was released from the
hospital June 9th on complete bed rest, and ordered to follow up with my doctor
on Thursday. I prayed and prayed! I researched on the Internet and read some of
the sad stories and also some of the happy endings. I still had hope. On
Thursday, June 11th I went to my doctors appointment to be told the bad news
that they would have to admit me to the hospital because infection had set in. I
called my mom scared and crying because yet again the worse was happening.
I was admitted to the hospital at 2:00pm and the doctors let me know my
options, I was scared. Then around 4pm with out being induced my contractions
started and I knew I was in labor. My baby boy was born June 12th at 6:06am. I
could not believe this was happening again. At 2pm I had to have surgery because
I was not able to deliver the placenta. My mind and body was drained.
I let his father know on June 13th once I was released from the hospital
and received more confirmation that he did not care about me. I felt so broken.
Why me is what I kept asking myself.
I am putting this luncheon together to bring women together so we can
empower each other and build relationships. We all go through different
experiences in life, but our experience might help uplift the next person.
I look forward to hearing from you, #BabyLorenzoCarter and
#BabyAlexandriaCorrinne will not let mommy stop helping others, even though I
have suffered. My babies are looking down on me saying mommy you can do it,
continuing helping others.
