I woke up the next morning anxious. I called my job at the office to let them know I did not abandon my patient, I was in the hospital. My Dr walked in around 8 am. He asked how were we doing? I told him he were fine Tj was moving around alot! He laughed and told me the specialist would be in shortly.
The specialist walked in and introduced himself. He specialized in high risk pregnancy. He sanitized his hands and put on his gloves. He asked me to get in the position. He checked me. "Mam you're fully dilated" I knew he wasn't joking. When he pulled his hand out of me, the glove had alot of brown blood on it. I took a deep breath and prayed. "Father God I need You now, We need You please help us. What should I do?" I silently prayed. The specialist asked me did I want to start the medicine. "Medicine for what?" I asked. "To help start your labor" he said. The #BEASTMODE in me kicked all the way in. " now what other options do we have sir? Because my son is fine, my body is the one that's doing the most" I said boldly! "Well there's always the Trendelenburg position?" He said "okay explain" I stated. " we would use the gravity effect. You lay your head back and your feet up" " okay well if I have to lay here for 4 months upside down IM DOING WHATEVER IT TAKES TO SAVE MY BABY" I said confidently!!! See I prayed and I knew that God would make away. All my family then walked in.... My mom, My sister, Alisha(my cousin& Aunt Debra's daughter) Aunt Debra (Alishas mom& Aunt Di's twin) Justin (Alisha's brother & Aunt Debra's son), Aunt Gaye Lynn. My husband had to work, so I wasn't expecting him to drop what he was doing. I could handle it I was strong enough for the both of us.
"What did he say?" Aunt Debra asked. I told exactly what happened. She immediately got the blessed oil out and said "we gone pray this baby in" My Dr then walked in. He wanted to know what decision I made. I told him I'm going to lay here and do the trendelenburg position. He was completely supportive of me. That's why he is the best Dr! " He calmly said okay. He told my family we're going to monitor the baby. We have to draw your blood twice a day to make sure you dont catch an infection and you also have to be on a liquid diet. Now I'm not gonna lie, this was alot. He left out of the room to give us a minute. I pulled out my phone and called a hospital in Dallas and explained my situation to them. This particular hospital was good in premature babies. They told me the same thing. Hey I wanted to weigh my options. My Dr walked back in the room and I told him I was ready. I drank a little blessed oil, to protect my son. He ordered the nurse to come in and she placed a catheter in me. That was very uncomfortable, but like I said I was in full #BEASTMODE. After my catheter was in me, he moved my bed back and I was laying like this...

I now knew at that very moment what it meant to live for somebody else. I had just gave up my life for my son 💙 "I love you baby with every ounce in me. Mama is gonna fight for you! We're gonna make it!!!!" I told him with my hand on my stomach. The warrior in me kicked in!
