magnifying the moment

By Haylie
Born 1997, F, from O'fallon, MO, United States

Going into the emergency not being able to see at this moment, not knowing why. Being stuck with needle after needle. Feeling loopier and loopier. Falling fast asleep on the hospital bed as they push me down the hall to the MRI room. Being lifter up on to the MRI bed and feeling the vibrations of the machine move me around. THey were only checking my head and chest until suddenly I heard one doctor say “what's that?” I soon felt like I was being slid out of the machine and resituated. They were now scanning my lower abdomen. They couldn’t tell what it was from the MRI scan, but they did find something.
I was afraid of what it was. They kept sticking needles in me and taking my blood for tests. Waiting anxiously for the results while I lay on the Hospital bed the doctors rush in the room and tell me that they need to hurry because I need an emergency C-section because I am pregnant. I thought to myself how is this? THey rushed me out of the room and into the surgical room. I wasn't put to sleep but they had given me lots of fast injected medication. Only being able to see the blue curtain in front of my head I began to have an anxiety attack. Seeing my husband right my side made me worry less, but things like this are always scary. Feeling his hand on my forehead and feeling him kiss my cheek made me feel safe.
When it was all done and over with the doctor came around the corner and sadly said that the baby did not make it through the electric shock and the whole minute I was not breathing. He had told me I had a stillbirth. Now thats some news no one wants to hear.
