Birth:.
How did you feel when people asked to touch your belly? Did you mind?
I did not like it when people touched my belly. I felt that my baby did not like it as well, he would move and it bothered me. I felt scared that the baby didn’t like it. I was not asked that much of random people to touch my belly but family members yes.
What did you think about birth when you were little?
My mother told me that babies only happen when you get married and they will just grow in your stomach all you have to do is just keep eating. I thought this for a long time when I was about 17.
When you saw your siblings having kids did you want one?
They are 10 of us 9 females and 1 boy. When I saw my sisters having kids I liked talking and helping care of my nieces and nephew. Feeding them, playing, and teaching them how to do things.
What age do you think is appropriate to have kids?
For me 30 years old. Thats when I thought I was ready, but about 25 years- and up thats when your more of an adult.
How was birth scene in the Dominican Republic?
You have to get married.
In the Dominican Republic if a girl was pregnant and even still today they will be kick out of school.
This is why I made sure I was done with school and found a man that loved me.
How was your pregnancy?
The whole pregnancy process was a pain, my back hurt and my foot was swollen for about Four months. I ate a lot of tomatoes and Buffalo wings. I hated it; I wanted him out already in the 6 month. He was past his due date, he was supposed to be born May 8 but he was born May 19. I kept saying to my self Zavi did not want to leave he felt happy where he was at, but I wanted him out already. I had to stay in the hospital for about two days until they broke my water, and it took about the morning to about six at night. I was so tried but I wanted to see my son. In the end was worth it.
Henry Alvarez:
What’s the first thing that comes to your mind about Birth?
Blood and a beauitful baby…That was something I did not want to see, but know its natural. A baby that been there about 9 months is ready to come out.
How did you feel when your first child was born?
Happy but scared. Happy that he came out already and he is my child and scared because I know rasing a baby is not easy.
How did you feel when rosi was pregnant?
I felt bad, but I still thought she was beautiful. I even pretend to be pregnant I guess i have an idea how she was feeling
What made you want to be there during the Birth?
I wanted to be there for my wife. I never saw anything like that, Well I saw on tv but not in person until my son was born. And man she looked like she was in a lot of pain
You felt like you were ready to be a father?
No, But who is? You don’t know what you’re always getting yourself into, until I held my child as he grew each day so did I.
Asking These questions from two people that had a baby not too long ago, Makes me think about how much people grow during the day and night. From Zavier arriving home from the hospital, to him now thinking he can walk is a beautiful thing. I love his little pamper butt and head full of hair, each day he grows and learning new things every day. I feel like I have an understanding why parents get over protective as we get older or more worried, but than that’s the beauty about growing up. I can't wait until Zavier gets bigger, I would always like to teach him things and take him to interesting places. But I do see the difficulties of having a baby it is not easy and it’s a learning process for the mother, and for the parents working together to raise a child.
From watching movies and shows, Birth always been a beautiful thing but its up to the parents and support from friends and family, is what makes things better. To have both parents involved is something that can make the baby progress.
