One day, Dad and Mom find out I'm growing inside. What a warm, relaxing place to be. Sounds are like echoes, but pleasant to hear. I'm so small, my little heart beats fast like the wings of a hummingbird.
Times passes and I have grown. The sounds, muffled I hear, are getting familiar to me. My little arms have grown and I have fingers. My little legs also have grown and I have toes. Not as much room to move around though.
A little more time passes and I'm getting uncomfortable, no more room to move. One day, I have an urge to roll so my head is down. I am getting an urge that something new is going to happen.
Then it happens. All the warm fluid I have been in leaves me and suddenly I feel like I am being squeezed. I get a little break, then the squeezing starts again. I'm being pushed into a small tunnel. I think, "am I gonna fit?", then the squeezing gets stronger and there are no more breaks.
First my head goes into the black tunnel, wow, so much pressure. Then I feel one of my shoulders enter the tunnel, wow, so tight. Then my other shoulder pops into the tunnel. Sure am happy I developed a bit of a slimy coating, or I would get stuck.
The top of my head is getting cold, I don't understand what is happening to me. The constant pressure is still there but I only move a little at a time. The outside noises are silent right now. I feel afraid.
Oh my, lots of pressure and my whole head pops out. Something is happening to me. I feel something hard in my nose and my mouth. Feels like it's going to **** my insides out. Lot's of really loud noises and the light is too bright, I can't see.
Once more I feel some pressure and my whole body slides out of the tight hole I was in. As my chest expands, I take in my first breath of air. All of the sudden, something in my chest takes over and I keep taking in air and blowing it out. How strange that feels.
Lots of loud talking and someone wraps something warm around me. I see shapes and shadows. The person that caught me when I came out put cold things on where I'm attached to my mother. Then he severs us from each other and I'm taken somewhere else.
I'm really frightened, I start to cry. What a strange noise, but I can't stop. Where is my mother, where am I? Why are they doing all these strange things to me. I'm in a warm box and my protective coating is getting cleaned off. Someone is putting something in my eyes, now I really can't see. Someone is putting something on the lower part of my body, it's staying on. Someone pulls each of my arms into something warm, they lift my bottom and put my little legs inside. Then they snap it up, funny popping noises.
Wow, I'm really tired, but my tummy feels funny. I get wrapped up into a warm blanket and I am brought back to my Mom. She wraps her arms around me and I can hear her voice and her heartbeat. I feel safe again. She bares her breast and helps guide my mouth to her milk. It takes me a little coaxing to latch onto her ******, but when I get a good hold, her warm milk pours into my mouth and I swallow as fast as I can. I knew how to swallow while I was inside in my warm fluids. I drink as much as I can, but now I'm really tired, can't keep my eyes open anymore.
I fall into a peaceful slumber, there in my mother's arms. Wow, what an adventure. What will I dream about? Only me and God know that.
Inner thoughts of how the infant feels about birth.
