2nd term of pregnancy

At the second term of pregnancy, I already knew that I was pregnant.  Everything changed.  I didn't know what to do.  I was graduating in college in summer but a baby was inside my stomach.  It was really bothering me that I did not go to school because what I was thinking, I would not graduate so why would I go to school.  I did not took the final exams because of my condition those months.  I was depressed but thinking positively that the baby inside me is a blessing from God.  A gift that a woman would cherish of all her life.

I still stayed at the dormitory but everybody except of my true friends was looking at me as if I were a murderer.  So I decided to stay at my cousin's house.  It is a far from the office but I couldn't do anything but just to face all the challenges in life.  Staying there was fine at first until my cousin told me that there was a renting room near their house so I decided to find for a renting room in the city near at work.  After searching with the help of my bestfriend and a friend, we found a renting room.  It was just a walking distance to walk.  It was not easy because I need to pay for the rent, buy food for myself but God did not left me and stayed with me and provided me more sources of income and I survived.

Walking to work made me feel sick because the baby inside me was a little big.  There was one time that I couldn't walk because the baby seems to be going out from my vagina.  That was so difficult.  So  I need to ride a tricycle to go work.

 Going to a doctor alone made me feel sad but life is like that.  I chose this life so let it be.  Finding out that I had Urinary tract Infection made me feel so sad because it would affect my baby inside so they asked me to buy expensive medicine for the infection.  I bought it because it was for my baby's health.  Having a baby inside your stomach would make you feel dizzy and feeling weak.  At five months of pregnancy, the midwife told me that I was anemic, lack of blood.  They asked me to eat vegetables that would increase my hemoglobin count and of course I ate because it is for my baby.

Month by month, my stomach was really going bigger and bigger and that's a miracle that only God knows.
