English 1301 Being Pregnant

As we grow up, we go through a series of experiences; some good and other bad. Some of us have had the experience of riding a bike, going out of the country, or maybe just graduating from high school. I have had many exciting experiences through out my life, but the one that I value more and has changed my life is being pregnant and giving birth to my daughter. Being pregnant with my daughter was a wonderful experience. I was thrilled since the fist day we found out that I was pregnant. Not only was I happy to know that I was pregnant, I was also scared because everything was changing. As the days passed by my stomach was growing and I no longer fit into my skinny jeans.

    Personal Narrative: Becoming A Mother

    Who would have thought that I'd become a mother at sixteen years old? I certainly did not. A lot changed from the time I found out I was pregnant, to the time I gave birth. I found out I was pregnant on a cold, snowy day. As scared as I had been, I knew that it was time to be responsible and make the best of my upcoming situation. Fifteen weeks had passed and, finally, I found out that my bundle of joy is, in fact, a girl! About five weeks later, I decided to go shopping for baby girl clothes, a crib, and a car seat. By that time, I had been twenty-five weeks along in my pregnancy, and I was ever so anxious to meet my daughter. Luckily, I had school and babysitting to distract me and help pass the time. Next thing that I knew, It was time for…

    The Pregnancy Project Thesis

    Gaby Rodriguez’s The Pregnancy Project is a memoir that focuses on the high rate of unexpected teen pregnancies in low income, poverty-ridden areas. Rodriguez’s personal experiences with teen pregnancies through her family inspired her to encourage a change. Her mother and her siblings each became a teen parent, and Rodriguez became a witness to the hardships and struggles faced when teens experience an unintended pregnancy, and struggle to financially support their child(ren), often due to being unable to continue their education. Rodriguez, although many - including her siblings - believe she will make the same mistakes as her family, does not want to be seen as “... just another pregnant teen statistic with no future”…

    Summary: The Pregnancy Project

    “Why do people give into stereotypes other people give them? Why would you ever let someone else's negative thoughts dictate how you’re going to live your life?”(Rodriguez 143) A memoir called The Pregnancy Project is an inside look in daily life of Gaby Rodriguez faking her pregnancy for a school project. The novel is full of heartbreak, some humor, break-downs, and especially drama. The memoir has a good insight and it contains many details in the beginning but it seems like she just gave up with details near the end. Even though the book lacks detail, I recommend this book to teen girls that are in high school or even college because it is very inspiring.…

    Personal Narrative: When I Wait To Grow Up

    The being pregnant part was actually really awesome. I was hungry all the time and got to eat pretty much anything and everything to my hearts content. I was always sleepy but best of all never did I get nauseous, which oh my gosh I was so happy for! You get to go to the doctor ALOT and the list of the things you can do is a short story compared to the novel that is the list of things you cant do. The very first feelings you feel of the baby moving feels like you have butterflies in your stomach and getting to hear the heart beat, now that is one of the best sounds in the world. I read What to Expect When You're Expecting like it was the bible. It tells you everything about the baby, their progress, what they look like at each stage and I was obsessed with it. At about five months that's when you get to find out the sex. That was the day I couldn't wait for. I wanted a girl so bad! I tried hard not to get my hopes up. Don't get me wrong I would love my child either way, but ever since that first day, that second line I couldn't stop thinking the word girl, girl, GIRL! I knew it, even though I told myself I didn't. My heart sank at first when the ultra sound nurse said “Do you see these three dots?” I instantly thought “okay cool its a boy, good thing I still have time to pick out a name” but as the nurse went on she said “congratulations your having a girl.” My mom who was with me just exploded into pure excitement, she had her three grandsons now the first granddaughter, and me, well I felt like I won the lottery. Picking out a name was also pretty easy seeing as how I already picked it out when I was 15, Riley, after my grandfather. I never got to meet him but I've always heard what an amazing person he was and I was in love with his name, but I had to make it its own so I decided to spell it Rylee. After that its pretty much 4 long fat months of you putting baby furniture together, buying clothes,…

    Personal Narrative: My Interview With My Mother

    Before this interview, I had never really thought about how there would be good emotions associated with giving birth, I had also just thought about how painful it must be physically and how awful that sounds to go through. However, after hearing my mom describe giving birth as “breathtaking, amazing, and inspiring”, my perspective on the entire experience of giving birth has changed. It was humbly to see that birth is really more than just the physical pain; it’s about bringing someone you already love so much into the…

    The Pregnancy Project

    “There are always going to be some people in life who disappoint you and don't believe in you like you hoped they would, and you have to find the strength to rise about it and realize that they're wrong. You're still a worthy person whether they thing so or not. If there's no one else to tell it to you, then tell it to yourself.” This is one of the things that Gaby Rodriguez says in the movie ‘The Pregnancy Project’. These are words that everybody can relate to. There are people that we think can support us in any problems or situations that we encounter. But in the movie, I realized that there are people who will left you when they heard something bad or when they find out something not good about a person. In contrary, there are people who will support you and who will always be there for you in any situations or even in the highest and lowest peak of your life.…

    Research Paper On Being Pregnant

    The section that really interested me was the Prescription and Nonprescription Drugs. Being pregnant, I have the decision if whether or not I want to do natural birth or prepared birth. I have been reading the good and bad about doing it. Something as simple as that and people nowadays have no problem drinking, smoking, and taking hard drugs while pregnant. Knowing that there is a precious life relying on you and your body why would you not take care of yourself. Now I am not dissing on people that have done that in the past but it is just people should really think. My mom drank and smoked when I was in the womb and I was diagnosed with fetal alcohol syndrome when I was younger. It has been a struggle to overcome all the obstacles.…
