"What's the scariest thing that happen to me?
I was 18 when I got pregnant. My first baby boy died having hydrocephalus and single nostril at 7 months. I got pregnant again and the baby girl died in my womb at 5 months. Third pregnancy im hopeless but God blessed me a son, full term. I thought my ex was an angel. Later i knew that he was a drug addict/gambler. The time i knew it, it became worst. People come to our house to buy drugs. Im so scared at that time of everything. I pray over him at night when he is sleeping. I try talk to him to stop what he is doing. But he never listen to me. Till it came to the point that my son see what they are doing. And i tell to myself my son will not live this life, this environment. One night we had a fight and he pull my hair from the street up to the house and my son hysterically crying as he witnessed his mom dragged by his father. I cried not for me but for my son. I fight back and told him im going to police so he got mad and hit me and lock me in the house. One day i tried to escape with my son but he saw us and wanna kill me but i able to run and leave my son. I had sleepless night. I escaped but my son is still there so i go back on plan of getting him. I tried to be very good to him like i want to be with him and have a happy family. But everyday is like hell in that house. He still lock me inside the house. I never told any of my family about that coz im ashamed. Maybe you wouldnt understand. Then one day he forgot to lock the door. I call my sister who happened to be in Manila that time i told her to call taxi now. Its raining heavily that time. I was scared of getting caught. I was scared to death. My body is shaking as i grab my son and the taxi was already outside. I ran carrying my 1 year old son without looking back right through the taxi without anything. Just me and my son. We escaped. Im glad we did. I thank the Lord for that."

The second winning comment this week was from @mariskalubis who commented with the following:

"The scariest thing that I ever done was giving birth my third daughter without any help from doctors. At that time, it was still 7 months pregnancy and supossed to wait for another 2 months to give birth. There was something wrong that I are before and made my stomach in so much pain, which also made me have contractions. It was really really bad, especially I was alone, my family was just left to go shopping. Then, I called them, they were panic. They tried to ask some doctors and nurses who stay nearby. But, it was saturday night, everybody left for fun. Actually, my family asked me to go to the hospital but I remind them about the traffic jam. Besides, the water already came out from the womb, and I could see my baby's head. I dont want to give birth in the car while traffic jam is happening, it will be more dangerous. So, i asked my younger sister to find clean towels and boiled really hot water. None of my other family, including my husband, who dare to help me. It was to scared to see, though, understandable. So then, afer everythig ready, I told my sister that I am ready. Then my baby came out from my womb, my sister who hold her. As a premature baby, she was so small, just as big as a bottle of mineral water, less than 2 kgs. It was a relief, but it was not enough. My sister asked me how to cut her umbilical cord. For sure I had no idea, I helped my pets before, but human? So, I said, I had no idea. We both did not know what to do, we asked others to continue looking for doctors or midwife or whoever who can help me. After waiting for about 45 minutes, a midwife came to help us. Then eveythig was done by her. Thank God! After that experience, my sister cried, she had a big trauma. She was still a student, young, and unmarried at that time, but not for too long. I was also had trauma and some infections, I was almost die a few days later after that. Again, God is vey nice to me, I was survived. The most important is, my baby was a very strong one. She grew up healthyly and normal. Today, she is already grown up to be 10 years old beautiful young lady. Very healthy and want to be a fashion designer. Well, this is just a story of my life, the scariest one that I ever done. Warm regards from Indonesia."
