The question I asked to start the interview was How did the pregnancy affect you physically, emotionally, or in other ways? She explained that when it came to her emotions she was always up and down. It was cross between being happy that she is going to have another child and the fact that she did not know if her and her husband would be able to take on the responsibility of having another child and could they go through the same stressful process they went through with their first child. When she explained how it affected her physically, she said that she already knew what would happen to her body since she already had a kid before, but what bothered her was that she would have to do a lot of work to get her body back to the way she wanted it. When she told me that she wasn't sure if she could deal with having another baby I asked then why get pregnant, She explained that she would like to have another kid in the house and she feels that it would be good that her older son had a younger sibling to take care of and look after.
From my point of view all the things that she explained to me where the basics that I already knew from before. The while idea that the process of having a kid is very long and painful and when it came to emotions I already understood that women get depressed and happy during pregnancy. What I found interesting was that she was having a kid so that my friend would have a baby brother or sister in his life.
2.Second Interview(Lady in grocery store)
While picking up some groceries at the supermarket, I began to talk to a pregnant while waiting on line to paying for my groceries.I explained to her that I had to go and interview pregnant woman for a class at school so that it wouldn't be more awkward then it already was. The question I asked her was What influenced your choice to have a baby. Her answer was that she really want's to be a stay home mom so that she can raise her kid and make sure that she devotes her time towards her baby, and if it goes as plan she might even consider home schooling her child. Since I wasn't going to be able to sit down and talk to this woman, instead of asking another question I just branched off what we were already talking about. I asked her does she want more than one kid to stay home and take care of. She said she would like two but if she only gives birth to one it doesn't matter.
What I found found extremely interesting was that in our culture most woman don't let their baby hold them back from being apart of the corporate world. Most mothers just get baby sitters to take care of their child for most of the time. So when she said that she want's to be a stay home mom, I was really surprised because most mothers don't do that. If i had more time the question i would ask her is What inspired you be be a stay home mom?
3.Thrid interview(My mother)
I feel that my mother would be a great person to interview because I would be able to see what my mother went through when she was pregnant with me and my brother. The first thing my mother told me was that when she was pregnant with me she began to sneeze way more then any normal person would sneeze that for those 9 months she was constantly sneezing but she wasn't sick, but when she gave birth to me a couple weeks later she stop sneezing. She also told me that she was worried when she was giving birth to me because I was premature and she felt that I wasn't going to make it. When I asked her what feelings or memories come back to her when you think of giving birth? she said just the idea of having children of her own brought tons of joy into her life and knowing that she would be able to have tow little boys in her household made her happy.
What I found interesting was the whole thing about her sneezing. The question I forgot to ask was What made her sneeze so much? what my mother said was something that I also heard from the other mothers. The fact that knowing you are going to give birth makes you very happy and you can't wait to hold your new born baby in your arms.
What influences your choice on having a child?, I feel that there are multiple reasons on why people decide to have children so by doing these interviews I am able to explore the multiple stories and understand why woman decide to have kids.
