The Voice in My Womb
I nodded and said slowly, "This pregnancy was unexpected. I'm not prepared yet, and I'm worried something might go wrong. If I were to terminate the pregnancy—"
Before I could finish, a sharp pain tore through my lower abdomen.
My insides churned violently, as if an invisible hand were squeezing my organs.
The next second, the voice rang out again. 'Mom, what were you trying to say to the doctor? You're not thinking of getting rid of me, are you? I wouldn't like that.'
The pain doubled instantly. My whole body collapsed into the chair, unable to move.
Only then did I understand.
The child was listening to everything around me from inside my womb.
