Something Was Wrong
S23 Ep5: Tragic and Horrific

Saturday, I did not sleep all night because every 10 minutes I was waking up, contracting, trying to move around. Then on Sunday, days started to get worse and worse. I would try to sit in the tub to try to help. I would try to move around. But my contractions, they were already lasting like a minute and they were already three to four minutes apart.

I was timing them and I was having Malik's father time them because I was like, well, I don't want to go up there and they send us back. That was one of my concerns. Finally, it got to the point to where I was crying between them. And that's whenever Malik's father was like, oh, no, we're going right now. So finally, I went Sunday. I got there around 8 p.m.

I was already dilated to a seven whenever I got there. So I was already in active labor there. The midwife that was there was still Danielle, and she had been the one that I was texting the days prior, whenever I first went into labor. From my understanding, she was a licensed midwife. She was there by herself.

And it's so crazy because the first thing she asked me for was the $500 that they tell us to bring or how much ever money it was. It was a couple hundred dollars for a birth assistant that's supposed to be there whenever we're in labor. And that was the first thing she asked for. And we had to bring it in cash. She got that and it was only her there by herself.

Oh, goodness, yes. We had to have the full amount paid before we got to the very end of our pregnancy. I don't know when my water broke. It did not break at home. I don't recall the gush of fluid or anything like that. And I told her whenever I arrived there. So she did like a swab to see. And according to the swab, at some point throughout the night, my water broke.

So my mom was in the room, but my dad was out in the little living room area. They had arrived the day before because I'm the only girl. So they were excited for me. And then my best friend, she's also a registered nurse in the emergency room. She arrived maybe a couple hours after I got there. I have an amazing family, amazing friends. I have amazing people in my life. So I'm really blessed.
