Doctors visits as an AFAB person that have absolutely nothing to do with potential pregnancy and do not at all match symptoms of pregnancy be like:

Doc: "When was your last period?"

Me: "I'm currently on my period, it started (date)."

Doc: "And are you on any birth control?"

Me: "Yeah I have the nexplanon arm implant."

Doc: "And are you currently sexually active?"

Me: "Nope, haven't been for years."

~ Fifteen minutes later ~

Doc: "Well your pregnancy test (that we didn't tell you we were doing or ask your consent for) came back negative so it's not that."

No. Fucking. Duh.

the fucking audacity and privilege it must take to essentially say to women "yea I'll vote to make these procedures illegal bc I don't trust YOU guys to use them right. I, however, should be able to make my own decisions about my reproductive health" 🙃🙃🙃

Hey, nexplanon is approved to prevent pregnancy for 5 years. They won't change the packaging because they want people to replace it every 3 years so they can get money. I work at a sexual wellness clinic. It's a whole thing with lots of long acting reversible contraceptives. Anyway that doesn't help you remember to remove your bandaging but it could happen less often!

I actually keep talking my ob/gyn into replacing mine every 2.5 years because that's when I start getting periods again >w>;;; but! this is good to know!! especially if i end up quitting my job to disappear into the woods and not have insurance, lmao

We need to talk about healthcare and financial crises. There are a lot of us who wholeheartedly believe that there are cures to everything but that our illness is a form of profit for our country, especially within the United States. Just like the fact that instead of having fruit and vegetables and herbs be readily available and accessible for us, we’ve got to go buy them and as inflation increases, the price tags on healthier food choices increases. In the United States, you can get fined for not having insurance, but when you do have insurance you have to pay a fee to have it, large chunks of our pay checks are eaten up and taken from us as well as tax dollars. We not only have issues in the health care system regarding racial bias and discrimination but we also have a problem with the maternal mortality rate, especially in women of color, and especially in regards to black women.

We know who is most likely to get sickle cell anemia and who is most affected by it, and we know who is going to have a hard time affording a 2.2 million cure for sickle cell anemia. We know a large quantity of individuals with chronic illnesses or life threatening illnesses that require intensive medical care and medication are people or color or minorities. We know that people of color and minorities have historically been and systematically been financially unstable, have been paid more, or have been offered the lowest standard of care and resources. Why are we creating cures and services that we know a large percentage of our population cannot afford or does not have access to? And now, we have a case where even a larger percentage of our population cannot afford healthcare and services due to the economic state of our country.

We’re continuing to have children, especially as women, when we need to advocate for better healthcare and support. Women worldwide need to start setting better requirements for when they’re going to have children and how. As someone whose been interested in midwifery for years and has been reading up on midwifery and birthing practices and what is absolutely necessary and essential in order to give a woman a chance at having a smooth, healthy, and safe pregnancy. Vast majority of women who are having children don’t realize that today’s practices for birthing children or preparing you for labor and delivery are less than the bare minimum. Women need access to good food and need to be able to eat well and have a nutritionally balanced diet, women need to be able to participate in physical activity and exercise throughout their pregnancy (yoga, Pilates, walking, etc.) and especially with trained professionals and staff who are educated on what type of physical exercise would best benefit a woman throughout her pregnancy and what will ultimately help her out when it’s time to deliver, they need access to good environments and practices that are created to benefit them and make their experiences easier, safer, and more comfortable. And they absolutely do not need to be required to pay an arm and a leg in hospital fees to have a child in the United States.

We need better health care that better accommodates women in the process of conceiving, women going through their pregnancy, women who are laboring and delivering, and women who are still alive during post partum healing. All these things should be requirements. All of these things should be covered by insurance. The issue is so large that women are having to travel outside of the United States to give birth to their babies and come back so that they could have better care and a better recovery and overall survival rate. It’s expensive to hire a midwife, let alone a dula for spiritual guidance and support. All women should have access to midwives and dulas and there needs to be more women in the birthing industry. We know that traditional midwifery practices and practices that were created to better aid women and were more effective and atomically accurate have been let go of or replaced.

Children are expensive, motherhood is expensive, and at this current moment we have mothers who are going through their pregnancies and post partum without proper resources and care and we have children coming into this world constantly and repeatedly to environments, parents, circumstances, etc. that aren’t financially, emotionally, or physically fit or stable to give them good lives. We need to stop having children at such a rate whilst we shift our focus to advocating for better health care and support for our women. Having a child is a privilege, some people may not agree, but just because we love them does not mean that we should all be having them because at this time we do not have the proper resources to bring them into this world correctly or provide for them.

There’s a lot going on here and a lot we need to advocate for. And those who are chronically ill or have been intense physical ailments and pregnant women who are giving birth to babies are just the tip of the iceberg. This isn’t even including the chronically mentally ill or those with developmental disabilities whose families have to pay thousands of dollars just to get them what they need. Since we’re changing the world and there is a shift happening, it’s time we start having the right conversations at the right time. There’s no time to change the world like today.

Love this statue in the hospital where I gave birth and will have my gallbladder removed! Super based.

It really fucking sucks when you find a therapist who, based on their bio, seems perfect and in the first couple of sessions you're feeling good about. But then, a few months in you realize it's just not working.

That's where I'm at. And because of insurance garbage, I've got a limited number of sessions covered and then I've got to pay out of pocket until my deductible is met. And I can't afford that. So, really, my options at this point are quit therapy and try to make progress on my own or keep going to therapy for the remaining covered sessions and spend the entire hour getting so frustrated that I am not being understood. I guess the benefit of the latter option is that I usually get so frustrated that I rage about it afterward and usually make some sort of progress on my own.

And the shit I'm trying to work through... I wish I didn't have to. I wish it wasn't so fucking difficult to process my birthing experience. I wish I could just be happy that my kid got here safely. But nope. I have shit to work through because awake surgery. And my own fucking denial that it was something that could happen to me. And guilt. And sadness. And anger. And fear. And... what's the word for anticipation of negative outcomes? Because I have that too when thinking about how I want another kid, but I just cannot imagine going through the same thing again and coming out the otherside without compounding all of the feelings I'm already feeling.

every day i get bills for medical things i needed to do

Babie Blue Pregnancy quotes

getting the bc implant was so chill btw, glad i had someone with me to hold my hand cause i got pretty anxious but it didnt hurt at all and was rly quick

on one hand, i've never felt more taken care of by the american health care system than during my pregnancy so far (first time in my life). on the other hand, these fucking doctor's visits are killing me due to the american work culture. why is taking time off to go to the doctor viewed as an issue when i've got several medical conditions that are intersecting making things complicated at the moment?

what really fucks my truck about Dobbs is that the assenting opinion's legal analysis is literally bullshit, but bc it's like 5 people's shared fucking ideology it's the Law now

The universe can stop now. It can stop. I’ve had enough now, it can chill out. I’m good. It can stop.
