The first person I interviewed was someone very close to me, I asked her a couple questions about birth and pregnancy. She is 7 months pregnant and the first question I asked was how did pregnancy affect you physically, emotionally, or in other ways? She answered "Being pregnant definitely affected me physically and emotionally I can hardly walk and it is so difficult to sleep because I cant move a lot and I have to stay on my back. It affects me emotionally because there are times where I am extremely moody. When my husband asks me for things I get really moody." I also asked her what thoughts and feelings influenced your choice to make a baby? she said "I really thought it was the right time to have a baby, my husband and I thought we were ready for a baby we both have jobs and we bring in a lot of money enough to support each other and the baby. We also love each other and whats the best way to show our love then having a baby."
The second person I interviewed already gave birth and I asked her what feelings come back to you when you remember labor and giving birth? she said "It was the worst pain in my life but seeing my baby made the feeling even better it was just very special and I would love to have the feeling again. I love my baby and I don't regret being pregnant." I also asked how did pregnancy affect you physically, emotionally, or in other ways? she said "It affected me physically my back was in pain the whole entire pregnancy Im a really skinny, short women and it really made my back hurt a lot."
The third person I interviewed I asked my own questions I asked the third person what was there thought about pregnant teenagers and would they have gotten pregnant or kept the baby if they were pregnant. She said "I don't think girls should be getting pregnant at that age and honestly I wouldn't even put myself in that situation and if I was in that situation I would never have that baby." I also asked her about home birth and hospital births she said "I would want my baby to be born in a hospital because I don't want to take the chance of my baby getting sick I want him or her close to the hospital because I don't want to take any chances.
I like how you talk about the physical and emotional toll that pregnancy can take on a couple no matter what age as wells the situations you proposed to the interviewee’s. I wonder what influences a mothers reaction to pregnancy and if it should be considered an emotional reaction to the pregnancy or if it should be looked at as a process of nature despite they unorthodox way it works.
