How I Survived Hospital Bed Rest

I remember the ambulance.

The medics kept telling me to be still as the vehicle’s wheels seemed to hit every bump and pothole on the road. My pants were soaked from my water breaking three months early. It was the end of October with my baby girl not due until February 1st. Fearing what could happen to me or my child or both brought forth a constant stream of tears that nobody seemed to notice.
