I got up to use the bathroom and was not feeling good, I have not been feeling good for the past few weeks now. When I first started feeling sick and throwing up all the time an body hurting constantly, my fiance told me to take a pregnancy test because maybe I could be pregnant. I told my fiance hell no uh I am not pregnant and can not be because doctors back home told me that there is a very very high possibility that I would not be able to have kids, because of all the abuse my body took when I was with my abusive ex of 10 1/2 years & other previous physical body pains I endured. but with that being said , I then took the pregnancy test that my fiance seem to have left out sitting on the sink in the bathroom.

I took the test in January of 2019, and boom says Im pregnant! I was in shock. Yelling from the bathroom , "Baby " which was my fiance, come here fast and read this , what does this say? does this say pregnant? and my fiance looks down at me and says yes it says pregnant. I call my mom back home in hawai'i waking her up because it was only 6 am something here in Pennsylvania because back in hawai'i it was maybe around almost midnight. I tell my mom , mom your going to be a grandmother, my mom says what are you serious , are you sure, how do i know? i tell my mom i took a pregnancy test an says im pregnant, my mom says go to the dr and let me know if it's for sure you are pregnant, and if you are pregnant , im very happy for you, because you always wanted a baby and now god has blessed you with having one.

At this point now I am very excited and so is my fiance. Me and my fiance decide to plan on making me a dr's appointment at Geisinger here in Pennsylvania. My fiance and I went to the dr's appointment and it was confirmed that I was indeed pregnant. I was so happy and scared at the same time. I am a type II diabetic and my sugar levels were not exactly under control at the time I got pregnant and I also have a history of DVT (BLOOD CLOT).  As we are walking out my fiance stops me turns me around and says to me , I love you so much and you make me so happy and we are going to have a beautiful wonderful baby "mommy". That was the first time I was called mommy. I was so happy, full of so much joy. I then called my mom and told her that I am very much so pregnant. My mom started crying and asking so much questions, asking questions like If I was so far along, lols, but thats my mom.

My first appointment I had when I was pregnant was at Geisinger, the next appointments to follow had to be closer to me however because I was getting car sick left an right. I had to drive most of the time because I could not stand when my fiance drove it made me sick, But that was when I was pregnant. My second appointment was down in Johnstown Women's Center in Pennsylvania. The OBGYN I had there were not caring, were not kind, were very rude, and so is the staff there. The OBGYN I had put me on all kinds of medications. I know my body I told her and I would not continue to take medications that make me sick and will end up causing harm to my baby. All my appointments were sickening. One dr tells us looks like our son has club foot. Another dr says looks like your son will have no but hole. So many dr's, not just one, So many nurses also not just one. Most of the staff were training. 

 

I was showed how to turn off the monitor machine next to me, by the nurses. My IV machine was beeping needed a new bag of fluids put in, nurses told me to turn off the machine. I was supposed to eat a certain time because I was a high risk pregnancy patient. I pushed the button to call a nurse because it was already been three hours past lunch an I have to now get ready to order dinner. My fiance sees how hungry I am an goes outside my door and looks down the hallway to see the nurses at the desk talking stories, and on there cell phones. My fiance walks down there and says hey my wife is about to order dinner and her lunch has not even come up to her yet, she is a high risk pregnancy patient, what is going on with you people, get my wife her food now. The nurses get wise and says there are alot of people to serve lunch to in the hospital and if he would like to go the break room and get me a snack in the meantime until my lunch does get to my room. That's the worse service from nurses and drs that any pregnant woman should have to endure in a hospital no less.

 

Well against all the Odds and negativity that was said against me and my baby, my baby came out a miracle baby and a blessing. He was born at 4.2 pounds at 35 weeks, my son also had to stay in the NICU for 9 days. But through all the B.S. & Pain of lies that was told to us , my fiance and I held our heads up in prayer and raised our son up to god. A lot of prayers were going up throughout my whole pregnancy, And my son came out a beautiful miracle baby boy. His name is hawaiian. It's Ma'la'ki Ikaika Kealoha Virgo.  

 

I leave you all now with letting you all know that Conemaugh Hospital in Johnstown Pennsylvania is indeed the worst place to have a baby and or if you need care for an emergency situation and you are in Johnstown Pennsylvania, I highly suggest and recommend you go somewhere else!! Conemaugh Hospital Johnstown Pennsylvania will be indeed your worst experience in a hospital , if not it could be your last. Johnstown Conemaugh Hospital was also in the newspaper a month after my son was born. The article posted was on the staff, drs, and nurses that worked in Johnstown Conemaugh Hospital. The article stated that the hospital was always short on staff and they did indeed lose a lot of patients including baby's because of short staff and there drs and nurses are all trainees. Trainees that are still learning. Being a 1st time mom that is kind of scaring knowing all this stuff now, but on the other hand I also got to experience the bad stuff that happens at Conemaugh Johnstown Hospital first hand when I was pregnant. 

 

I thank God to have a Miracle baby, a Healthy baby, Wonderful baby, a bit Spoiled, very handsome, and very Intelligent baby boy. This is a recent picture of my son now.

Imagine waking up every morning and being able to just load up your car and go to the beach an bbq, Imagine being able to just camp where you want and fish (with no permits required). Imagine being able to just walk right down the road to a friends house or go right around the corner to your uncle or auntys house. Imagine fresh breezes under coconut trees and listening to the sounds of the waves rumbling on the black sand beach, rolling the pebbles along the sand with incoming waves.
