Trigger warning. You don’t need to read this if you’ve lost a baby.

Miscarriage care is often associated with a fetus that could not survive outside the womb, has encountered issues (from birth defects to bodily stresses), and is now being expelled. The biggest risk is bleeding out. If you’ve ever seen a hemorrhaging post partum woman it is quite dramatic. If standing, it can be a like a tap turned on and is creating a large puddle of frank blood at the woman’s feet. Supplying blood to a fetus is dangerous for a mother when the connection is severed, even in normal childbirth. Miscarriage care ensures that once the dead fetus is removed, by natural means or the abortion procedure, the bleeding stops.

It’s important to know that the D&C procedure is used for all manner of gynecological reasons, many of which don’t even involve pregnancy. Polyp removal. Biopsy. Etc. A miscarriage D&C may not even be removing the dead fetus, that may have already occurred, but the D&C is done to ensure all dead tissue bits are washed out in addition to making sure the bleeding has stopped.

Stillbirth is typically associated with a third trimester fetus/baby that can possibly survive outside the womb. Except it unexpectedly dies in utero instead. These are large bodies, not like the standard miscarriage where tissue sized between a rice grain and a baby carrot is expelled. This time, the corpse will remain, decomposing in utero, until an abortion is performed. The biggest danger here is sepsis, or full system infection causing mass organ failure, due to this corpse presence. It’s why that teen girl in Texas died when no one would help her with stillbirth removal, aka, an abortion.

It’s important to spell out stillbirth since there are still major misconceptions voiced regarding third trimester abortion stats.

I’d say they answered the question about the culture.

Demoralize each major city by the time elections roll around.

From a medical perspective I find it irrelevant. Healthcare decisions around childbirth should be between a woman and her doctor, or licensed nurse practitioner midwife. And ruled over by HIPAA which is still in effect, for now…

HiPAA for women is to be cut, per Project 2025.

That may be so, but the numbers are where you point to show how deficient the US healthcare system is towards pregnancy and mothers.

The procedure for a stillbirth removal is an abortion. Often in the third trimester.

This one follows SciFi themes in which the most militant, oppressive, and intractable force is often called the peacekeepers.

What’s fun is now UPS wants a second shipping fee to schedule a time or hold your package for you. You can no longer presign their little paper to leave the package. The only option is to pay, or they’ll return your package.

It’s extortion.

Worse, I was home both days and they never knocked or rang the bell. I let them return the package, on them, took my full refund, then reordered. We cycled through this game until someone rang the bell.

Fed ex and UPS with sign for packages.

His mind is deteriorating fast. Narcissism into Alzheimer’s doesn’t leave much room for understanding reality.

I’m so tired of bullshit.

Right now he’s busy with countries this side of the pond, and beating up American citizens with his variation on the SS.

Dipshit Don is losing his fucking mind to Alzheimer’s, and there’s no one left with power or money who is willing to do anything about it.

If it works on Pop!, as most things seem to, it’s in.

It would be nice to have something as basic and fast as paint. I just want to fast load resize and text overlay in a couple clicks and call it done.

Scrivener. Everything else has a substitute or workaround that is easily implemented by a non programmer. I own both the Apple and Windows forms of the program.

As an American, this is accurate. Include Hawaii in the blue and Alaska in the Red.

The private sector isn’t doing jack shit that’s at all useful. That’s like outsourcing your auto repair to, not even the wrong skilled labor, like a plumber, but to someone’s 12 year old little brother, who has no real responsibilities to anyone else. He just hangs out with friends, maybe builds computers, learns GIMP or Kdenlive, or draws all day. His present goal is to have fun and play during his free time.

Nothing has been outsourced so much as simply ignored or left for dead.

Jeffries is a limp dishrag of a politician. I’d still like to see Johnson out right now, because they’d have such difficulty replacing him.
