After Having My Third Child, I Died

Synopsis

After leaving the psychiatric hospital, Bethany Massey gave birth to her third child. The pregnancy sickness had been brutal, lasting the whole nine months. The doctor gave her two epidurals. Neither worked. She bit down on a towel and endured nineteen hours of labor. When the baby finally arrived, she heard the nurse say it was a boy. Seven pounds, six ounces. His cries rang loud and strong. Every ounce of strength drained from Bethany's body. Her hospital gown clung to her back, soaked through, cold against the delivery bed. She turned her head, wanting to see the child. But the delivery room door opened first. Her husband, Aiden Bowers, walked in. He didn't look at her. He went straight to the nurse and took the swaddled baby from her arms.
