Two Poems from our Babies, Baby Showers Poetry Collection

 
 
PRIMAGRAVIDA
   
Author: Jennifer Brown
   
Poem:
PRIMAGRAVIDA
   
  Dizziness causes feelings of nausea to sweep across; doubled over, sick.
The pains in the chest are surreal, making daily routine impossible.

Unstoppable, constant cramps cause pleas of mercy.
Being comfortable is no longer an option.

The aches that dwell in the head and in the back make the days long.
Nothing seems to bring relief that will last more than two hours.

The hunger never stops.
The cravings are dealt with and the satisfaction is short lived.

Everyday is a constant struggle of staying awake and battling the queasiness.
The barrage of advice alone makes a nap look appealing.

Avoiding anything that may cause severe illness is a fight that is never won.
There will always be another smell that will churn up the contents of the stomach.

Everything is tried because there is no medicine that can be taken.
The fear of the pain causes overwhelming distress.

There is never enough time to get things wrapped up.
The world keeps going but falling behind is the truth of this reality.

Counting the weeks makes the end seem so far away, yet, in other lights so near.
Many times the end is dreamt about and brings a smile.

When it is all over, the song of a new born baby’s cry will fill the heart with love.
All these horrors will then seem like a simple sneeze.

NEW LIFE
   
Author: Paul Parkinson
   
Poem: NEW LIFE
   

In the room gleaming white
beneath the sheets a human cry,
lost in labour for a while
father gripping for his life.

Cursing mother doing well
baby pushing, it's like hell
midwife coaching for the wife
father proud and still around.

Pushing and panting the arrival comes
glowing red from head to it's bum
baby well and parents too
let's celebrate our job is done.
