The first person i decided to interview about their experience with pregnancy was my mother. When my mother found out she was pregnant she was very shocked. She was also kind of scared and didn't know what to do. The first thing she decided to do was call my father who was in the army at the time. However being pregnant wasn't going to stop her from working so she continued to work for several months more. After about 6 months of being pregnant my moms belly grew a ton so she decided to take a break from working and decided to take classes where people would tell her what she should do and what not to do while being pregnant. My mother also told me how every single one of her friends came to visit her and gave her presents and gave her alot of extra attention because she was pregnant.
The description of the process of pregnancy that my mom was telling me did fit into my initial viewpoint of the subject. This is probably because my mom tends to remind me of what she went through while i was born and while my brothers & sisters were born. However the way my mom was telling me her story It seemed like it that was in the past and none of that matters anymore. She did tell me though how it was a bit hard going through pregnancy because the father wasn't around during that time. How she wished he was with her during that time. My parentswere about in there mid 20's when they were dealing with this and the way my mother told me her story it made me realize that mid 20's would be a pretty good age to have a child because 25-30 year olds tend to be responsible and can handle the taking care of someone else.
The second person i decided to interview was my father. he told me how he was shocked when he heard the news and how he was a little fraustrated and worried for my mother because she was all alone only with her mother. While my father was telling me this i realized that both my mother and father were kinda going through the same mental stress and they were both worried and missed eachother. My father also told me that he wanted nothing more than to be with my mother at that point and he sad because he didn't end up seing his daughter(my sister) until after she was born and 6months old .
According to my initial opinions about birth my father wasn't the typical guy during my mothers pregnancy. His stroy is probably the most unusual story i have gotten of a guy dealing with the birth process. Of course this wasn't my fathers fault that he couldnt be wityh my mom during her pregnancy. However i believe that if he were with her he would have stayed with my mom during her pregnancy and they would have gotten through it together.
After talking to both my parents the last person i decided to interview was my Friend who is 17 and got a girl pregnant and is currently going through the process. He told mee that it is very stressful. He has to deal with her mood swings and he says that it is the the worse thing he has ever gone through. However he told me that he is very happy he is going to have a baby and cant wait to be a father. This lead to me realizing that alot of people that have gone through birth try to look at the positvie things as a way to make the negative things seem less worse.
The topic i would further like to investigate would be, How does teen pregnancy affect the parents? However i am also interested at, how much teen pregnancy has increased by over these past few years and what the majority of teen guys go through during this process.
The Post above is very very interesting. I cant believe that your having a unit about birth. This was very informative because i learned new things about what people tend to experience during birth.The line where you said, "He told me that it is very stressful. He has to deal with her mood swings and he says that it is the the worse thing he has ever gone through was very insightful. I am only 13 and i know that teens do have babies. I am not ready for a child so i can't even imagine how stressful it must be for the 17 year olds.
ReplyDeleteHw 36 was very fascinating to read. This piece had alot of depth into it. I could tell that you put in the time to get the infromation you did. The line that most stood out to me was where you said, "The topic i would further like to investigate would be, How does teen pregnancy affect the parents? However i am also interested at, how much teen pregnancy has increased by over these past few years and what the majority of teen guys go through during this process." This stood out to me because it showed that you are taking this unit seriously and coming up with question that you want to know for this unit. Overall it was a good piece
ReplyDeleteI found your post interesting because it had some clever insights on how stress can play a major role on the process of birth and the whole pregnancy extravaganza as a whole. I really think that the topic you chose to explore further is very interesting since it goes over a topic that is not only relevant to the world, but also relevant to us. I hope you achieve success with your future research.
