'I came to the hospital for help, not for them to tell me I’m on my own. But that’s exactly what happened.'
Jenna Beckham, M.D., North Carolina
In my non-abortion work, I’ve seen a tremendous shift in people anxiously rushing to get IUDs or sterilization. One patient’s partner had a vasectomy and she had her own surgical sterilization because she doesn’t want to risk getting pregnant. That following Wednesday when leaving a restaurant, I felt like somebody had thrown water on me. I felt down in my underwear and said,"It feels like my water broke, but that’s impossible—I’m only 16 weeks." We went to the emergency room and waited for almost an hour. When I finally got an ultrasound we could clearly see my daughter was moving and had a heartbeat, so I had hope.
The next morning I went to the hair salon. I have very long locs. Years ago, my best friend was killed, and at her wake her mom commented that she was grateful Kim always kept her hair styled, so she hadn’t needed to have her locs done after she died. That always stuck with me. So that morning I told my mom,"If I deliver her, I don’t think I’m going to make it through that. Please take care of Derick [my husband] and, don’t worry, you won’t have to get my hair done.
