mouth full of blood


mouth full of blood, originally uploaded by MadSunCaribou.

when i was 34 i suffered an ectopic preganancy. the doctor and nurses kept telling me the excruciating pain was a "normal" part of pregnancy. the pain was worse than being in labor. i couldn't walk. finally after about 3 days of this i was diagnosed with ectopic pregnancy. i was devasted. this was going to be our second child and i felt (still do) that after 35 I just wasn't going to have any more children. so losing the baby was very sad for me. i still miss the child that could have been.

in this series i was trying to dress up like frieda kahlo. i really need to work on this idea more but i ran out of time today to continue. maybe i'll get to it over the weekend.
