“My First Pregnancy”

This episode of Tell Us Something was recorded in front of a live audience on April 6, 2017 at Free Ceramics in Helena, MT. 9 storytellers shared their story. The theme was “The First Time”.

Today’s podcast comes to us from Laura King and is titled  “My First Pregnancy”. Thank you for listening.

Laura King, a 32 year old married to her high school sweetheart, becomes pregnant and has to juggle that with the stress of being in law school. Her first ultrasound is an internal ultrasound at five weeks and goes well. She returns home and has to go back to the hospital after complications arise.

As the mom of a 3-year-old boy, Laura King gets the chance to tell two or three stories a day, mostly about spiders, fairies, and superheroes. She is also a lawyer with the Western Environmental Law Center in Helena, where she tells stories about arbitrary and capricious government action (and weaves in spiders, fairies, and superheroes where possible).
