― Michael Bassey Johnson

“The first music I ever heard
was only one hundred and sixty days
after I was conceived.
Da dum
Da dum
Da dum
Have you ever heard the sound
a blessing makes? This is it.

The first thing I ever saw
was only one hundred and eighty days
after I was conceived.
It was a bright light
soft like clouds
warm like candles.
Have you ever seen the colour
of a blessing? This is it.

The first time I ever suffered
was in the three thousand and sixty seconds
after I was born.
I listened for her heartbeat.
I searched for her light.
I cried for the first time until she was born.
Have you ever known
a blessing? A twin is it.”
― Kamand Kojouri

At the moment of conception, an effectively alien creature commandeers the mother's womb and uses it as a sort of beachhead from which to seize control of her entire body.”
― Jeffrey Kluger, The Narcissist Next Door: Understanding the Monster in Your Family, in Your Office, in Your Bed--in Your World

“Ze had niet gevraagd of ze het mocht zien. Daar voelde ze zich pas schuldig over toen vriendinnen haar begonnen te vragen of het een jongetje of een meisje was. En of ze hem of haar nog had vastgehouden. Ze schrokken toen ze hun zei dat er geen begrafenis of crematie was geweest. Ze schrokken echt.
Wat was er met het lijkje gebeurd? Had het ziekenhuis een aparte verbrandingsoven voor foetussen? Of werd alle afval samen verbrand? Ze hoedde zich ervoor dat woord in het bijzijn van haar vriendinnen te gebruiken. Afval. Later had haar eigen gynaecoloog zijn duim en wijsvinger uitgespreid om te tonen hoe groot het kindje was geweest. 'Hooguit zeventien centimeter. En waarschijnlijk met een chromosomale afwijking. Beter zo, mevrouw. Beter zo.' Zeventien. Dat was groter dan ze had gedacht.”
― Kristien Hemmerechts, Haar bloed

“Fun fact: at 33 weeks, the foetus weighs almost the same as a pineapple. I don’t know about you, but I do not like the sound of a pineapple coming out of my vagina. No thank you.”
― Hannah Witton, The Hormone Diaries: The Bloody Truth About Our Periods
