Doctors comfort
sounds in ultrawaves
show us healthy movement.
Who delegates the right to
make me sick?
Simplify your explanations...
don't take my/your water!
5 inch needles into my stomach
just to find out if you're...
...going to be normal...
...going to be smart...
...going to need assistance...
They quote statistics...
"2 percent! 2 percent chance he'll have Downs Syndrome...but if you think of it this way, Mrs. E, its a 98 percent chance he'll be normal. Doesn't that sound so much better? Don't blame yourself, its a genetic fluke. There's nothing you could have done...Anyway (so casually...) you'll find out in 10 days. Thats when we get the results back"
but I wonder (every second of the day/night)...
Could I have taken my vitamins with better frequency?
Did I take enough folic acid? Am I too old to have a baby?
...I have prayed outloud for days. I won't stop anytime soon.
