Brittany Potter stands out in Philadelphia’s drug district. She believes America’s first Tranq baby could be growing in her womb.
There she is. The movement in the stomach. The baby’s reaction. Entry. A small dent. It lives. “My baby moves when I eat something,” says Brittany Potter.
Is she eating then? “Too little.”
Does it also move when spraying? “What do I know,” she says defensively. “That makes me high.”
Brittany Potter, 36, is standing on Jasper Street, a side street in Kensington, the drug district in the megacity of Philadelphia. Long blonde hair, blue eyes, the tank top stretches over her pregnant belly. Puncture marks mark her chest. She is in the 30th week.
