Poem
Jayden Makieh Kelly On the fifteenth of February at around seven am the real contractions began, they had me in so much pain I thought they would never end. I stayed up for two hours timing them to see if they would ever be close, however they wasn’t and out of pain is what I wanted the most. Later on that day I had a doctors appointment, but only to find out that I still hadn’t dilated so I was disappointed. However, later on that night the contractions started hurting me even more. I couldn’t even lay down because they had my stomach so sore. A few hours later from two am till three am the contractions were coming every five minutes and the pain was intense and very much not in my favor. I told your nana I was ready to go to the hospital and we arrived there at about five or ten minutes till five am hoping I was in labor. They put me in a room with these two little belts attached to my stomach to monitor my contractions and your heartbeat. When the nurse checked me I had only dilated enough for the tip of her finger to fit, so with the doctor’s orders she wanted to get me up on my feet. So, I went walking and then came back. The contractions started reversing, they started to slack. For they slowed down, they regressed. Your nana thought they were going to send me home because she thought I wasn’t making any progress. The doctor came in and checked me and to all of our surprise I had dilated to almost a three! He then said, “Let’s get her in a room, she’s a keeper”. Right then the thoughts of giving birth began to sink deeper. I actually started to have just a tiny bit of fear of the journey I knew I was nearing. I got moved a little ways up the hallway to labor and delivery room five. The room was fully equipped to make you feel at home, quite spacious in size. I was placed on another monitoring machine and hooked up to an iv. At that point there was still only your nana in the room with me.
