Fear Of Being Born Premature Birth
I was born on February 24, 1995 during the morning as day broke, coming into this world two month before I was expected. An undeveloped baby born 4 pounds 9 ounces, falling out of the normal range for the weight of a newborn. Moreover, I would be born without the sucking sensation, something crucial to a newborn in early development. When I was born my mother would not hold me because of these factors in her fear of losing another child. My brother whom I get part of my name from was diagnosed as stillbirth only after a few hours of having breath inside his body. At any point I should have not survived from mother who would not hold her child, being born premature, being underweight, and having no sucking sensation. It was perseverance that

    On September 8th 1990, it was a hot sunny day in the city of Cali, Colombia. Temperature around 88°F with very low humidity, normal for that time of year, since the summer was about to begin. A sky full of altocumulus clouds cooled the estimated population of about 1.7 million people ("1990 population estimate for Cali, Colombia."). Among that population there was my mother. Already late for her gynecology appointment, inconveniently causes by a car accident, she would shortly find out when I would be entering the world. The accident turned a 20-minute drive in a 45-minute drive. Rushing into the clinic, as the doctor’s assistant was calling her name, she rapidly was taken to the back to speak with the provider. When the doctor came into the room he calmly said, “I have good news, and bad news”. My mom’s heart already racing she decided to go with the bad news first. “The probability of being a complicated birth is pretty high, which means the surgical team will have to perform a cesarean section instead of a vaginal birth”. My mother relived thinking it would be something much worse she asked the doctor to go ahead with the good news. “The baby will probably be arriving today”. My mom became frantic, “that’s the good news? They might as well both have been bad! My mother panicked, she had nothing ready for the birth, since her first child was not due for another 10 days. Her hormone levels raging at an all time sky high, she shortly began to cry. The doctor and his staff hugged her and reassured her that everything was going to be ok. They quickly rushed her to the hospital where they would have all the equipment in the event that there were any major complications. Once she was all settled in, the operating room staff started to prepare for the birth around 3:15 P.M. The staff thought I was ready to come out, however I took another three hours to make my grand appearance. At 6:23 PM I arrived spreading my arms and legs with a…

    At 12:30 at night on June 1, 2015, my life would soon change forever. I was pregnant with my first child and my water had just broken. My mom rushed me to the hospital where I was immediately put in a private room, in the hospital bed where I was about to deliver my first child, a son. He came so quickly (5 & 1/2 hours in total) and I had requested no pain medications and turned it down on several occasions as the medical staff pleaded with me to use it. The pain began to become more and more unbearable, so much so that I honestly felt paralyzed from my waist down. My body was taking over to my surprise and I was just there with my legs in stirrups. They seemed immovable and with the pains coming faster, it is as if they stopped receiving any of the signals my brain was sending to them.…

    Some people believe that the first steps establish the future within the child, but my perspective seemed to reveal no hints. He showed many major disadvantages as a child. At birth, he came out 7 pounds and 9 ounces, which did not show much promise. Growing up was very difficult for him as he displayed many signs of being lazy. My view of his childhood was painfully tragic. Every step he took seemed to introduce more pain to me. Most of his days were spent laying down in his crib because, his size brought his inability to move around. He was absolutely not your typical healthy baby and, overweight was a understatement. Me spending every day with him became more and more depressing. It seemed as though the more he grew, the more hope I had…

    August 9th, 1998 was the day when my fight and formation as a person began. My mother was rushed to Piedmont Hospital, in panic, because I was eager to be born exactly two months before my due date.

    I can still remember the day the doctors told me I was pregnant. That immediate sense of fear swallowed me whole and time seemed to stand still. It was not until a couple of months later that I realized there was no changing the situation and that I needed to make the very best of it. Finding out I was pregnant started out as a very scary experience but ultimately was one of the most positive and rewarding experiences I have ever endured. After the fear settled a little bit I was able to really start thinking about my life and what I needed to change. Up until that day at the doctors I was living day by day doing what I needed to do for me and no one else. I had no job, I was living with my parents and my only source of excitement came from the local bar rooms late at night. I knew things needed to change and I set out on a mission to make that change happen. Alone and afraid I was able to swallow my pride and ask my family for help and the guidance to get my life back on track before this baby entered our world. All through my pregnancy I knew I loved my unborn son more than I have ever loved anything in this world. I knew that my life was no longer mine…

    . .. What my missing baby would have looked like? What kind of person would it have grown to become? I will never have a chance to hear that first heartbeat, feel the first kick, or find out if the baby was a boy or girl. I will never get to go through the pains of labor and see that light at the end of the tunnel, the one where you would have been placed in my arms. My arms will forever mourn with emptiness because I will never be able to hold you. I may have only known of you for two weeks, but I carried you for two months. My child should have entered this world in October, instead my baby will never see the light of…

    Fear of Failure

    • 1498 Words
    • 6 Pages

    On a day to day basis, I experience the phobia atychiphobia; according to the medical dictionary, it is the fear of failing. This phobia is a major part of my life that I would like to change, because I am being consumed by the possibility of failing. I will either run from the task I am afraid of failing, or fear will motivate me to excel. This phobia has held me back from attempting more challenging opportunities like, pursuing a medical degree, adding a foreign language as my minor, or getting involved in a sport in college. I have noticed that I will mentally rationalize why I should not take on the difficult task, and how great of a failure I will be if I do not succeed. When I think of life changing experiences that will occur in the near future (love, marriage, children, graduation, or a career) overwhelming fear sweeps over me. These major events that will happen within the next few years, unsettles me, because there is a big possibility that these things that I want out of life will not become a reality. I have this ides that I am not competent enough or worthy to achieve all of these great things that I want. Over all, it is important for one to have confidence in their capabilities and their aspirations, because without that confidence, you are less likely to succeed in life.…

    The Pond Incident

    When I was a child I was always told about how strong I was. This was a big deal since I wasn’t even supposed to survive due to having the umbilical cord around my neck. The doctors told my parents that if I survived the first seventy two hours, they would see how much brain damage I had. It wasn’t IF I would have brain damage, but how much. I was to be one of the lucky ones. Not only did I live, but I didn’t have brain damage that anyone could find. I was however, cross-eyed until I was about a year old. I also had every childhood illness before I was a year old. I had chicken pox at three months, German measles at six months, and mumps at nine months. I even had surgery at six weeks old for an abscess in my chest.…
