I went to see my gastroenterologist this a.m., and she is expecting a baby girl in March. She totally agrees with me that the folks in her profession need to start using plain talk to put out the information about women dying IF THEY DO NOT GET ABORTIONS! There are pulmonary hypertension, ectopic pregnancy, preeclampsia and many other situations that can lead to the death of the mother. Instead of using these fancy names, they need to bluntly and brutally describe what happens in these instances. All these folks who think it is all black and white: you get pregnant and you have a baby, need to learn the TRUTH. I, personally, have known more than one woman with each of these problems, and more. Myself, my very first pregnancy ended at 7½ months when the cord wrapped around the baby's neck in the womb and killed my little boy. By the time my body went into labor and delivered the tiny corpse, I had an infection in me. It hit all at once, while I was lying in bed, in my kidneys. My body went into such a shock of pain that it arced on the bed. My heels were touching the sheet, and the back of my head, and that is all! They had to give me antibiotics heavily to clear it up. I was one of the lucky ones: it did clear up, I did not die, and I was actually able to have more children. But I do not believe any woman must die rather than have a fetus removed so she may continue to live. No way, Jose!
