It Won't Happen to Me and Other Lies I Told Myself
Abstract Summary
There are more than 8 billion people populating the world right now, with 332 million living in the United States. More than half of these people are women, with the number of women of reproductive age reaching over 64 million. Why are these numbers so significant you may ask? Because of this number, there is a probability of something going wrong during pregnancy. Statistics show that only 9% of women know of CMV and the harm it can do to an unborn baby. More women are aware of down syndrome, fetal alcohol syndrome and SIDS, but what they don’t know is that this virus can be prevented by simple basic hygiene. Today I will share my story of an innocent little boy who was tragically taken too soon and how he shone the light for me to be here to share his story perseverance and strength. Without ever speaking a word, he will have transformed me to the person I am today.
