I refused to ever acknowledge that I had given birth because that wasn’t a birth worth celebrating. That wasn’t the same birth that I had witnessed with my clients. If anything, it was medicated torture that I experienced, and I would never say that I had given birth. My baby was snatched from me, and I never got the chance. A chance to have him in this world with me. He was gone before I made it to the hospital, and that was something I had to live with.
