No wonder my belly hurts so much.
As I waited for my grandfather and mother's answers, I could feel the pain in my stomach growing more intense.
I wanted to ask them why they looked so worried, but before I could, a spasmodic pain in my abdomen forced me to squat down.
But even the movement of squatting was as slow as an old person.
Being so pregnant and round made movement difficult, and the spasms made my face twist in agony.
I don't think I've ever felt such pain in my life.
As a child, I had once been chased by a dog. Although it didn't bite me, I fell badly and bled from my knees, chin, and elbows. But that didn't hurt as much as this.
My mother had already tried to help me, but I was too heavy for her to hold me and the baby.
Eventually, I started to believe that I wouldn't make it; I was destined to give premature birth.
But, after visiting the hospital, it turned out to be a false alarm.
After doing a series of tests, my abdominal pain subsided.
