John Cedric (Yaya's nephew)

As a woman, I know that someday, in the not-so-distant future, there will be a chance that I will get to experience being pregnant. I've already had two meetings for this class, and I think I know what I'll be experiencing for 9 months of pregnancy, and upon giving birth.

It's funny, during my first meeting for the said class, we discussed childbirth, and Yaya's sister was giving birth simultaneously. It was helpful because I understood what she was going through. Interesting, interesting.

The idea of giving birth scares me and excites me at the same time. I know I am willing to undergo all the pain and risk my life for my future baby, but I can't help but feel dread whenever I think about it. Weird.

I think it's fascinating that us women are so vital in giving life. I'm not just taking about human women, but women in general, other species included. I feel like I have a great significance to my race, and that I have a right to be proud of that fact.

What I do not understand is the occurence of "bad moms" I don't know, I just think that if I have a baby growing inside me for 9 months, and I would have to experience 101% birth pain, I would give it all the pride, joy and love that I could possibly give. It's like working hard and reaping your success. I just..don't get how you could not love your baby.

You?
