All in Due Time :

Perspectives on Childbirth from Deaf Parents

Brandi and Tim Rarus

Second Child

Brandi became pregnant naturally the second time. They don’t know why it was different, but were excited about the pregnancy. They knew this baby was a boy (they didn’t know the sex of the first baby until it was born). They were still in Texas at the time, so Brandi had the same doctor as the first pregnancy and told him that she knew she would want to induce again because she could not stand to be inactive that long. She also got sick with the second pregnancy. She was sick for about 4 months. In addition, for the first 12 weeks she was terribly depressed (something she’d never experienced before). On her due date, she went into the hospital at 6 a.m. to induce labor. This time, she was not dilated at all when she went in. After the IV was in for 20 minutes or so, she dilated to 4 cm. Things went very fast again and her baby was born at about 9:30.
