My MIL Hit My Pregnant Belly. An Our Later I Was In The Hospital

Story starts below

When my mother-in-law hit my pregnant belly, my world stopped. The shock and pain sent shivers down my spine.

I couldn't believe someone would harm me, let alone the unborn child I carried. With urgency, I found myself rushing to the hospital, my mind racing with fear.

Little did I know, the nightmare was just beginning.

Worried about my baby

“What were you thinking?!” my husband, Derek, shouted at his mother as he helped me up. I leaned on his arm as I tried to stand up straight, but my stomach was hurting too much.

The pain was etched over my face as I tried not to scream. All sorts of thoughts raced through my head, all about my baby. Will she be alright?

Waiting for the ambulance

Derek helped me to our bed so I could lie down as we waited for the ambulance to arrive, hoping the pain would slowly go away.

He and his mother were yelling at each other in the hallway. Tears streamed down my face as I held my belly, begging my little girl to stay inside.

Suddenly, a contraction started, and I screamed for Derek.

An indescribable pain

He rushed in, grabbing my hand. All I could do was scream and cry while my entire body was cramping. Derek looked under the blanket and told me not to worry, but his eyes told me otherwise.

The pain was indescribable, unlike anything I had ever felt before. I tried to breathe through it, but it was too much for me to bear.

Not accepting

My mother-in-law never truly accepted my relationship with her son, but I never expected her to do something like this.

I had invited her over for dinner because we had found out the gender of our baby and wanted to tell her.

I had prepared a pink dessert, hoping she would get the hint, but we never even got that far through dinner.
