Ultime Fauchelevent

Probably like 3 or 4… but I’m a guy so it’s okay.

Inconvenience? You hear that people capable of getting pregnant? This is all merely an inconvenience:

Normal, frequent or expectable temporary side effects of pregnancy:

• exhaustion (weariness common from first weeks)
• altered appetite and senses of taste and smell
• nausea and vomiting (50% of women, first trimester)
• heartburn and indigestion
• constipation
• weight gain
• dizziness and light-headedness
• bloating, swelling, fluid retention
• hemmorhoids
• abdominal cramps
• yeast infections
• congested, bloody nose
• acne and mild skin disorders
• skin discoloration (chloasma, face and abdomen)
• mild to severe backache and strain
• increased headaches
• difficulty sleeping, and discomfort while sleeping
• increased urination and incontinence
• bleeding gums
• pica
• breast pain and discharge
• swelling of joints, leg cramps, joint pain
• difficulty sitting, standing in later pregnancy
• inability to take regular medications
• shortness of breath
• higher blood pressure
• hair loss
• tendency to anemia
• curtailment of ability to participate in some sports and activities
• infection including from serious and potentially fatal disease
  (pregnant women are immune suppressed compared with non-pregnant women, and
  are more susceptible to fungal and certain other diseases)
• extreme pain on delivery
• hormonal mood changes, including normal post-partum depression
• continued post-partum exhaustion and recovery period (exacerbated if a c-section — major surgery — is required, sometimes taking up to a full year to fully recover)

Normal, expectable, or frequent PERMANENT side effects of pregnancy:

• stretch marks (worse in younger women)
• loose skin
• permanent weight gain or redistribution
• abdominal and vaginal muscle weakness
• pelvic floor disorder (occurring in as many as 35% of middle-aged former child-bearers and 50% of elderly former child-bearers, associated with urinary and rectal incontinence, discomfort and reduced quality of life)
• changes to breasts
• varicose veins
• scarring from episiotomy or c-section
• other permanent aesthetic changes to the body (all of these are downplayed by women, because the culture values youth and beauty)
• increased proclivity for hemmorhoids
• loss of dental and bone calcium (cavities and osteoporosis)

Occasional complications and side effects:

• spousal/partner abuse
• hyperemesis gravidarum
• temporary and permanent injury to back
• severe scarring requiring later surgery (especially after additional pregnancies)
• dropped (prolapsed) uterus (especially after additional pregnancies, and other pelvic floor weaknesses — 11% of women, including cystocele, rectocele, and enterocele)
• pre-eclampsia (edema and hypertension, the most common complication of pregnancy, associated with eclampsia, and affecting 7 - 10% of pregnancies)
• eclampsia (convulsions, coma during pregnancy or labor, high risk of death)
• gestational diabetes
• placenta previa
• anemia (which can be life-threatening)
• thrombocytopenic purpura
• severe cramping
• embolism (blood clots)
• medical disability requiring full bed rest (frequently ordered during part of many pregnancies varying from days to months for health of either mother or baby)
• diastasis recti, also torn abdominal muscles
• mitral valve stenosis (most common cardiac complication)
• serious infection and disease (e.g. increased risk of tuberculosis)
• hormonal imbalance
• ectopic pregnancy (risk of death)
• broken bones (ribcage, “tail bone”)
• hemorrhage and
• numerous other complications of delivery
• refractory gastroesophageal reflux disease
• aggravation of pre-pregnancy diseases and conditions (e.g. epilepsy is present in .5% of pregnant women, and the pregnancy alters drug metabolism and treatment prospects all the while it increases the number and frequency of seizures)
• severe post-partum depression and psychosis
• research now indicates a possible link between ovarian cancer and female fertility treatments, including “egg harvesting” from infertile women and donors
• research also now indicates correlations between lower breast cancer survival rates and proximity in time to onset of cancer of last pregnancy
• research also indicates a correlation between having six or more pregnancies and a risk of coronary and cardiovascular disease

Less common (but serious) complications:

• peripartum cardiomyopathy
• cardiopulmonary arrest
• magnesium toxicity
• severe hypoxemia/acidosis
• massive embolism
• increased intracranial pressure, brainstem infarction
• molar pregnancy, gestational trophoblastic disease (like a pregnancy-induced cancer)
• malignant arrhythmia
• circulatory collapse
• placental abruption
• obstetric fistula

More permanent side effects:

• future infertility
• permanent disability
• death.

In addition, there’s the risk of losing one’s job and, by extension, home; pregnancy/childbirth triggering traumatic experiences due to rape, molestation, or partner/spousal abuse; body or gender dysphoria; missing or dropping out of school; the potential trauma of choosing adoption; suffering from pregnancy related job discrimination; the economic toll of pregnancy and raising a child; and not being able to continue taking important medications or exacerbating pre-existing conditions.

Here’s some statistics:

• 358,000 people die annually from pregnancy related complications.
• 20% of people who die during pregnancy are murder victims.
• The risk of maternal mortality is highest for adolescents under 15 years old.
• Complications in pregnancy and childbirth are the leading cause of death among adolescents in most developing countries.
• A person’s lifetime risk of maternal death – the probability that a 15-year-old will eventually die from a maternal cause – is 1 in 4300 in developed countries, versus 1 in 120 in developing countries.
• A pregnant person has a 35.6% greater risk of being a victim of violence than a non-pregnant person. The estimated prevalence of violence against people during pregnancy ranges from four percent to eight percent.
• 40% of all pregnant people have some complications during pregnancy or childbirth. About 15% have complications that are potentially life-threatening.

Tl;dr So in case that wasn’t clear: pregnancy is always life threatening and never merely an “inconvenience”.

Tell ya what, Joe. Next time, you can have the baby, and I’ll let you deal with the whole being nauseous, exhausted, in pain for weeks at a stretch, swollen, foggy-brained, leaky-boobed, leaky-bladdered, tingly-fingered, light-headed, unable to poop, unable to stop peeing, unable to sleep, unable to control your emotions, unable to eat a whole host of foods or participate in a wide variety of activities, some of which may effect your ability to do your job, unable to have sex (thanks, pelvic rest), unable to draw a deep breath, unable to sit due to sciatic pain, unable to get out of chairs with ease or even on your own if you do manage to sit, possibly stuck on bed rest for weeks or even months, and at the end, probably being cut open to have something the size of a watermelon that’s been growing inside of you taken out because your placenta attached in the wrong place and attempting vaginal birth could cause you and your baby to bleed out and die. Or assuming you don’t have to worry about bleeding out and dying and you do get to deliver your baby vaginally, you can deal with the fact that every time you sneeze or laugh too hard, you pee a little. Forever. At least unless you get surgery.

Then we’ll chat about the “inconvenience” of pregnancy. Until then, though, this exhausted, hurting, hormonal pregnant lady would kindly appreciate it if you’d shut your goddamn clueless mouth. Thanks.

Idk. This is an issue that is quite confusing to me. I certainly believe in the private choice to do w/e you want, but I also feel the need for some personal responsibility for your actions. Of course children, rape victims, and people that have complications due to their pregnancy I certainly agree with them having abortions. My view isn’t really based on the child’s right to life either. It’s more just the fact that if the person isn’t smart enough to take proper precautions then they should be dealt some bull crap. It’s a fact of life that if you are irresponsible that sometimes shit goes bad, and you have to deal with shit for a while. I’m not sure why pregnancy is any different(when it comes to able minded/consenting adults) than doing something stupid and injuring yourself, or damaging your/someone else’s property. I get that you are bringing a child into a life that can’t handle it, but the person has options with that. Of course giving a kid up for adoption isn’t easy, but why does every second choice these days need to be easy?

I also don’t get the idea that it’s not the government/peoples job to vote on this sort of thing. It’s the government/peoples job to vote on everything. What is right/wrong is debatable, but in the US we get to vote… even if the government will just go pass it’s own resolutions afterwards.

I guess my views are based on my own life. I’ve had b/s come at me internally and externally, and I have to sleep in that bed regardless if I messed it up. Sure I can’t get fucked traditionally, but I have to deal with my own unplanned issues. 

Not sure if that’s the right answer… if there truly is one. 

EDIT: Sorry if I made it sound like abortion is an easy choice. It’s relatively easier than birthing the child and giving it up for adoption, but still a highly emotional moment for what I’d like to think is a majority of people getting abortions. 

EDIT: I did forget to mention I was more so speaking about mid 2nd to 3rd trimester abortions and people who routinely get them. Not that it will make my opinion welcome to some people. 

Maybe abortion is fine. It’s like filing for bankruptcy in your uterus. All of a sudden you don’t have debt, but you aren’t quite back to where you were. Things are better, but not good. 

Like I said earlier. I don’t believe there is a perfect answer to this question. I think abortion can be useful, but to what point.
