I’m in Texas, and lived next door to a young couple where the woman had a non viable fetus grow inside her for many months until she had a scheduled c-section near term.
They had a medical team of several doctors monitoring her, and because these complications could kill the mom suddenly, they were ready to go to the hospital 24/7 for months.
No domestic abuse that I know of, but it ruined their relationship and they still have not spoken to each other after the divorce.
That’s so awful 💔
I don’t know how current this is anymore - this has been floating around the internet for at least a couple years, and I have no idea if it’s being updated, but here’s a list of surgeons who will actually respect a woman’s decision to receive a tubal ligation or hysterectomy:
Women who are ‘of childbareing age’ get a TON of pushback from the medical field for wanting to do this, even in the midst of conditions like endometriosis (chronic severe pain in/from the uterus) or even cancer (can fucking kill you).
Word of advice though: DO NOT get a tubal if the idea that it’s reversible is a determining factor. They can try to reverse it (reanastomosis), but there’s no guarantee it will be successful. Get it only if you’re okay with it being 100% permanent. Same goes to any testicle owners considering a vasectomy.
No way /s
