I have been pregnant twice. And one of the most disorienting things about the experience, both times, was how being pregnant seemed to change the people around me.

Like, when I went to the doctor, I was the person in the waiting room, the person getting my blood drawn. But the patient,

that wasn't me. That was my unborn kid. Sometimes, like during an ultrasound, this shift felt benign.

Other times, not so much. Like when I went into labor and wanted to avoid taking a drug

to speed things up. I was told if I didn't hurry, my baby could end up in intensive care.

This was not true, but it reflected this idea. The idea that my point of view was secondary,

the idea that I was at best a vehicle for my baby. And in this vehicle, I was definitely not the

driver. I've been thinking about that feeling over the past week or so because of this story unfolding in Atlanta.

It's about a pregnant woman and who has control over her body. The woman's name is Adriana Smith.

Tonight, a Metro Atlanta mother lies brain dead in a hospital room being kept alive only because she's pregnant.

Adriana Smith was a 30-year-old black nurse from the Metro Atlanta area.

She has one child who's seven years old.

And in February, she began experiencing these severe headaches.

Imani Gandhi has been reporting on Adriana's story for Rewire News Group.
