NOTHING. they could barely feel a heart beat, it was real faint due to the drugs that had entered me instead of my mom.. and.. my arms and legs were spread, and I didn't move or make a sound for three days. Till this day I feel like I have many problems as an effect of what happened to my mother and I. I have many random health issues, that were not passed down by anyone in my family.. not hereditary, I have a feeling that they were caused because of what had happened. Just wanted to share this story, my mother shared it with when I was old enough to understand, and of course I believed her.. its a true thing that apparently happened to many people.

One side looks like a straight line the other side was sewed up to tight and look like a child did it. It was sewn up so tight my skin split and a hole formed and would not heal until she finally took the stiches out on that side 6 weeks later. I felt her sewing me up and saw and heard everything for a awhile until they knocked me back out.
