- On January 21, 2009, I had just finished another day of working on my dissertation and was getting ready to pick up my son from daycare. I was planning on a run across town to Whole Foods with my mother, who was leaving the next day and-true to her roots in the Jim Crow South-wanted to go there to stock up on food stuffs for her road trip (if you don't get the Jim Crow reference, I don't have time to 'splain it). Of course, before leaving I had to pee, as I did about every half hour back then, in the seventh month of my second pregnancy. But this particular pee break turned out to be special. There was blood, quite a bit of it. I'd had some slippery mucus for a few days, but thought it was just normal pregnancy discharge. This, however, was surely not normal, not just another sign of a healthy pregnancy. This, I thought, is most likely a problem. Surprisingly calm, I called the birth center to which I had only just transferred my prenatal, wanting to ensure I'd experience a natural birth. I'd heard that was not likely at WPH, where the nurse-midwife I had been seeing delivered her patients.
