She told me that the medical center didn’t just offer nutritional programs, but they offered several different programs that she was able to get into.
Being a new mother is a difficult time for any woman. You don’t know what to expect through pregnancy, and you’re definitely not prepared for that small human when they place him in your lap. When you’re a new mother or going through your first pregnancy, and you are also still a child yourself, it can be debilitating. I was talking to a young lady who worked for me last year, and she was crying. She confided in me that she was barely 16 and pregnant. She didn’t want to get an abortion, but she didn’t know what to do. When I found out that her mother had recently passed, my heart went out to her. With the help of my sister, we found a medical center that offered nutritional programs for pregnant women. They helped her to get the food, physical health, and mental plus emotional support that she needed at this time. She was all smiles when she came to work the following week. She told me that the medical center didn’t just offer nutritional programs, but they offered several different programs that she was able to get into. She now felt that she had someone she could trust and turn to, and it wasn’t just the medical center. She gave me a hug as she walked out. Over the next couple weeks, I saw her watching all of her calories and the items that she was eating so that she could report back to the nurses who offered the nutritional programs for pregnant women. It pleased me to know that she was being responsible for the life she carried and for her own.
