PrintThe Pain of Pregnancy
In “Oh, Baby!,” p. 21, Lillian Cremedy writes about her complication-filled pregnancy and painful childbirth. Her teen body wasn’t ready to carry a child, and it didn’t help that she was locked out from her foster home during her pregnancy.
Prompts for discussion and/or writing:
—Have the group read the story. Ask them if it has changed their views of pregnancy and birth. If so, how? If not, why not?
