Emilie P • Ontario, Canada • 30
I was at my aunt's house on October 1st, 2000. She was due with her baby in a few days, so I was visiting for the last time before the baby arrived. I was sitting on her couch when I felt this weird trickle. When I went to the bathroom, I saw blood in my underwear. I screamed for help and one of my other aunts came running.
She said "That's your period" and got me a pad and explained how to use it. I kept thinking, how can this be? I thought it was because I didn't pray enough. As she was getting me sorted out, my uncle yelled that my pregnant aunt's water broke and that they were going to the hospital. My cousin, Amelie arrived later that night. So yes, it was a day of bodily fluids.
