Unexpected Twist
Tumblr media
Characters: Jensen x Reader (wife)
Warnings: injury, language, mention of pregnancy, morning sickness, anger, hurt, fluff
A/N: A quick story idea from @cheekygirl2309. Jensen and reader are married, he’s away filming and gets injured. Reader takes care of him despite his protests, and her unexpected pregnancy. This does not depict real life and is a work of fiction. No disrespect to Jensen or his family.
All work is your own, do not take it or copy it.
Minors DNI 18+
The soft hum of the plane filled the cabin as you drifted off to sleep. You were on your way to surprise Jensen, your husband, who was currently filming his latest project in Canada. This was your first extended separation since you’d married, and you missed him terribly. But you were also excited to see him and to share a secret you'd been keeping: you were pregnant with your first child.
As the plane descended, you couldn't contain your excitement. you imagined the look on Jensen's face when you walked through the door of our rented house. It would be a surprise he'd never forget.
When you walked in the house you were met by silence. You sent Jensen a text to see if he was filming or on his way home.
You: Hey babe. Just wanted to say hello and I miss you.
Jensen: Hey sweetheart, I miss you too. I’m still on set. I’m thinking maybe a few more hours. When I get home I’ll FaceTime you. I can’t wait to see your beautiful face.
You: Okay babe. Have fun and I love you. I can’t wait to see you too.
Jensen: I love you too, Y/N. So much.
You set your phone down and started to unpack. You’d packed for a week, taking off time from work to be there. When you married Jensen, it was important to you to keep working. You loved your job and you wanted to contribute to the household. Jensen was supportive, but you knew deep down he wanted you to quit, mainly so you could travel with him.
After unpacking, fixing something to eat, you took a shower and put on some comfy clothes. Your body was exhausted from traveling, and early pregnancy. As you climbed in the bed to rest, you placed your hand on your belly and rubbed softly. You smiled and drifted off to sleep thinking about the growing baby in your belly, and what the future will look like once they are born.
Unfortunately, your sleep was shattered early the next morning. Your phone rang, jolting you awake. It was a local hospital. Jensen had been in an accident on set and was injured. He had broken his ankle. Your heart sank.
You quickly gathered your things and rushed to the hospital. When you arrived, you found Jensen in a cast, his face a mix of pain and surprise. He was relieved to see you, but you could tell he was upset.
“Babe, what are you doing here?” Jensen asked from his hospital bed. You dropped your bag and ran to his side, throwing your arms around him. “I came in to surprise you, I was at the house asleep and the hospital called me. Jensen, what happened?”
Jensen’s jaw tightened, “It was a stupid fucking accident. I landed wrong, fell backwards and broke my damn ankle in two places.” “Oh Jensen, I’m so sorry.” Tears fell from your eyes. You kissed his lips and he wiped your tears away. “Shhh it’s okay baby. I’m okay.”
The doctor explained that Jensen would need round-the-clock care. Your heart ached for him, but you were determined to be there for him. You knew this would be a challenging time, but you were also grateful for the opportunity to spend more time with your husband.
The doctor gave you Jensen’s discharge papers, explaining he had to stay off the ankle for at least 6-12 weeks. At this time Jensen didn’t need surgery. When the doctor said Jensen would need round the clock care, Jensen’s jaw clenched. You kissed Jensen and left to pull the car around. When they wheeled Jensen out, you saw the anger and disappointment in his eyes. When he looked at you, his eyes softened. Jensen had always hated feeling like he was a burden, and now needing round-the-clock care, he really felt like it.
You helped him into the car and he kissed your cheek as you pulled yourself out of the car. You smiled at him, and he smiled at you. Climbing into the driver’s seat you took his hand in yours. “It’s going to be fine, Jensen. I’m here for you, I’ll always be here for you.”
Jensen nodded, but you could still feel the tension coming from him. “Shit! I need to call work. This is going to set us back so far with filming. Damn it!” Jensen ran his hand through his hair in frustration.
He called his manager and told them what happened. They told Jensen not to worry, they would call and take care of everything. He told them once he got cleared he would be back at work.
When he hung up he looked over at you. “I still can’t believe you’re here. Thank you for surprising me, sorry I ruined the surprise by getting hurt.”
You sighed softly, “Jensen, honey, stop. You didn’t ruin anything, and this isn’t your fault. It was an accident. Besides, now you’re stuck with me for a few weeks. I’ll be your beck and call girl. Anything you need, I’ll make it happen.” He chuckled a little and grinned, “Anything?” He wiggled his eyebrows. You giggled, “Yes, baby, anything you need.”
Once the two of you got back home you helped him out of the car. When you opened the door to help him inside a sudden wave of nausea hit you. You held your breath and tried to focus on Jensen and helping him get inside. A little bit of bile creeped up your throat and you swallowed hard, trying to keep it down.
Jensen noticed you and asked if you were okay. You nodded, not trusting your voice. Getting him inside you set him up in the living room, while you ran to the bathroom to empty the contents of your stomach. Unfortunately for you, your stomach was empty so it was mostly bile and dry heaving.
Brushing your teeth, you walked back into the living room. Jensen was mindlessly flipping through the channels on the television. “Jens, do you need anything other than food? It’s almost time for your medicine, so I’m going to cook you something. What would you like?”
Jensen sat thinking for a minute, “You know I’d really love some breakfast, eggs, bacon, toast and coffee.” “Do you have all that here, or do I need to run to the store?” “I think we have it here. I can go check.”
You placed your hands on your hips, “Jensen, no. I’ll go look. You have to stay off your ankle.” Jensen huffed and groaned, “Fine.” You smiled, walked over and kissed his lips softly, “I love you, Jensen. This is for the best. We need you to get better.”
Jensen’s eyebrows lifted, “I can think of something that can make me better.” He smirked. You laughed, “I need to feed you and give you your medicine, remember we have to stay in front of the pain. Maybe later.” You winked.
Jensen let out a long sigh, it was full of frustration and something else, desire maybe. You touched his shoulder and walked into the kitchen to start cooking. Grabbing everything you needed your mind drifted to the baby. Trying to figure out when was the best time to tell Jensen.
The two of you had talked about children, but agreed to wait a little while longer. Mainly because Jensen had all his new projects and conventions coming up. He wanted to be present during the pregnancy, and he knew right now was not the best time.
Your joy filled heart clenched. A tear slipped out at the thought of the timing and the possibility of him being upset about it. Continuing cooking the smell of the different foods and coffee mixed in the air. The smell became overwhelming and it sent you running to the bathroom.
You sat on the cold tile of the floor, head bent down as you tried to stop the nausea. There is no way I can keep this from him for too long. As you exited the bathroom you heard Jensen call you.
“Sweetheart, are you okay? It sounded like you were getting sick.” You walked into the living room and smiled softly, “Yeah, I’m okay. Probably just airplane food.” You chuckled softly.
Jensen knew something was wrong, partly because he knew you never ate anything on the plane. He let it go. You finished cooking and brought Jensen his food. As you sat beside him, he looked over at you, “Thank you baby, this looks delicious. Aren’t you going to eat?” You shook your head, “Not right now. I’m not very hungry.” He nodded and continued eating.
When Jensen was finished eating you took his plate and went into the kitchen. You cleaned up the kitchen and went back to the living room and sat beside Jensen.
He was flipping through the channels again and you heard him grunt, turning off the television and sitting the remote down.
Jensen laid his head back on the couch and sighed. You looked over at your husband and could feel his pain and frustration.
Touching his arm you said, “Babe, I know you’re frustrated, but we can figure something out for you to do while you’re home.”
“What?! What am I going to do besides sitting on my ass?! That’s all I’m fucking good for right now. Just leave me alone for a while.” You jumped at the anger and harshness in his voice.
You felt the tears prick your eyes, putting your head down and taking your hand away, you whispered “I’m sorry.”
You got up and walked out of the room. Locking yourself in the bathroom, you sat on the side of the tub and let the tears fall. You knew he didn’t mean it, but it still hurt to hear him talk to you like that.
After a few minutes you washed your face and took a deep breath before you opened the door.
Stepping into the hallway, the house was quiet. As you walked towards the living room your heart raced.
Jensen was still sitting on the couch. “Jens, I’m going to the store. Do you need anything?” Jensen didn’t look at you, all he said was “whiskey”.
You swallowed hard. “Baby, I don’t think you can drink with your medicine the doctor gave you for pain.” “Then I won’t take it. Get me some whiskey or I’ll get it myself.”
You stood in silence. Your heart broke. Jensen had never been so cruel to you. “Jensen I’m not getting you alcohol, and you can’t drive. I don’t want you to end up in the hospital or worse because you got drunk while taking your medication. You need the medicine for the pain, you can’t just not take it. Please baby, don't let this minor setback get to you like this.”
Jensen’s jaw clenched. He stood and looked at you, “A minor setback? Are you kidding me?! Fuck! This is just my career going up in smoke. You know, the one that affords our lifestyle. One where you can fly across the country when you want to.”
You gasped and tears flooded your eyes. Jensen instantly regretted what he said when he saw the hurt in your eyes.
You turned around as the tears fell. You grabbed your bag and keys and walked outside. You got in the car, started it and drove away. The tears were falling fast and sobs left your body.
You pulled over because it got so bad you couldn’t see to drive. Your heart was broken. How could you tell him you’re pregnant? He’s so angry and taking it out on you.
Determined to be the best wife you could be, you went to the grocery store and bought groceries for the next week. You also picked up some prenatal vitamins and other things you needed. You called your boss and told them you’d be out for a while due to Jensen’s injury. They were less than happy and told you to either be back in a week or don’t come back at all. So you told them you wouldn’t be back.
After you hung up the weight of the day came crashing down. You didn’t know what to do. The one person you’d talk to about everything was part of the problem. You felt so alone.
It was getting dark by the time you got back home. When you walked in Jensen was no longer on the couch. You saw the door to the bedroom closed. You opened it softly and saw Jensen laying in the bed asleep. You closed the door softly.
Heading out to the car you carried in load after load of groceries. Once all the bags were inside you started to put up the food. Throwing away the bags your heart sank. In the trash was an empty whiskey bottle you knew wasn’t there before you left.
You sighed and started getting dinner ready. You were exhausted, both mentally and physically but you needed to eat. You made baked chicken, roasted potatoes and vegetables.
Putting everything in the oven you sat down and turned on the television. You were flipping through the channels when you saw Supernatural was on. It was Season 15 so Jensen was older.
Your heart flipped when you saw him. You always loved watching him and watching the things he did. You were incredibly proud of him and even more so being his wife.
The television was the only sound in the room. You laid your head down and pulled a blanket on you, and your eyes closed.
The sound of the oven timer going off pulled you from your slumber. You got up, noticing the bedroom door still closed and you went into the kitchen.
You pulled the dish out of the oven and sat in on the hot plate. You walked to the bedroom door, and looked in. Soft snores came from Jensen. You closed the door and went to the kitchen.
Putting some food on a plate, you took it to the table with your water and sat down. Your heart was still so heavy from everything. You had to force yourself to eat.
Thinking about the baby, you ate your fill. Thankfully you were able to keep the food down. When you finished eating you cleaned up and put the rest of the food away.
After the kitchen was clean you went to the bathroom to take a shower. The warm water hugging you like a long lost friend. You needed Jensen, you wanted to feel his arms around you.
Standing under the water you cried. Sobs filled your body. As you turned off the water, your hand touched your stomach. “I’m sorry baby. I’m going to fix this. I promise.”
You pulled on some clean underwear and one of Jensen’s shirts. Leaving the bathroom you made sure everything was locked up and turned off.
Deciding to give Jensen space you went into the guest room. You closed the door and climbed into the bed. Your heart ached for Jensen. Tears fell and you cried into the pillow.
You didn’t know Jensen had woken up while you were in the shower, hearing your sobs. The guilt was washing over him. He laid there listening to you and trying to muster the courage to apologize for being an ass, but he knew you’d be angry smelling the alcohol on his breath. So he just laid there.
When he heard you leave the bathroom and locking up the house he prayed you’d come to bed. Hearing the guest bedroom door close, his heart sank. Jensen knew he messed up.
Jensen was so angry he got hurt, but even more so at himself for taking it out on you. He needed to apologize but he wasn’t sure if you’d want to talk to him.
He pulled himself out of bed and grabbed the crutches the doctor had given him. Steadying himself he made his way to the guest bedroom. Opening the door carefully he saw you laying in the bed with his shirt on and his heart swelled. You were sleeping so peacefully. Your hair laying around your head like a halo. The soft glow of the streetlights casting shadows across your face.
Jensen stepped into the room and sat on the side of the bed. He lightly touched your face, “Sweetheart, wake up.” Your eyes fluttered open and you saw Jensen sitting next to you. His green eyes filled with regret and sadness.
You sat up and threw your arms around his neck and sobbed into his chest. Jensen rubbed your back and kissed your head. “Shhh it’s okay baby. I’m so sorry. This wasn’t your fault and I took it out on you. Baby please forgive me. I’m an ass and I’ll spend the rest of my life making up foe what I said.”
You pulled away, “Jensen, you really hurt me. I know you’re angry about your injury, but you have to know the way you spoke to me wasn’t okay.”
Jensen hung his head in shame, “I know baby. I swear I’ll never speak to you like that again. I love you so much.”
You tilted his chin up and looked in his eyes, “I know you do baby. I love you too.” You placed a soft kiss on his lips.
“Come on darlin’, let’s go to our room.” Jensen stood with the crutches and started to walk out of the room. He stopped when he saw you weren’t moving. “What’s wrong Y/N?”
You took a deep breath, “Jens, I need to tell you something.” Jensen was nervous, “Okay baby. You know whatever it is you can tell me.”
Taking a deep breath you looked in your husband’s eyes, “Jensen, I came to surprise you this week because I missed you. I missed being in your arms. I missed your kiss, and your ability to make me feel that no matter what everything was going to be okay. I also missed making love until we were both exhausted and completely satisfied. But, that all pales in comparison to why I wanted to come see you. A few days after you left I had a check up at the doctor. I got some news I didn’t want to tell you over the phone. So I had to come see you. Then once I got here, everything got turned upside down. You were hurt and angry. It just didn’t feel like the right time to talk to you. I’m so scared, Jensen. Scared of what this will do to us, what it means for us.”
Jensen’s heart broke at your words. This was his fault, why you felt you couldn’t talk to him. His anger and him lashing out broke something between you two. He took a deep breath, “Baby, whatever it is we will do it together. I’m not going anywhere. I love you more than anything and I’m so sorry I’ve made you feel like you can’t talk to me. You can always talk to me. It’s my job as your husband to share the load with you. Please, sweetheart, talk to me. What did the doctor say?”
You met your husband’s green eyes and said, “I’m pregnant.”
Jensen’s eyes went wide. At first you couldn’t read his expression. Your heart thumped loudly in your chest.
He leaned down, took you in his arms and crashed his lips to yours. The kiss was filled with passion and joy. You returned the kiss with equal fervor. Pour all your love and forgiveness into it.
Jensen pulled away and looked at you smiling. “You’re really pregnant? We’re going to have a baby?” You nodded yes.
“You’re not upset, Jens?” “Oh no, baby. I’m so happy. We’re having a baby!”
Tears pricked your eyes as you kissed him again. “Jensen, let’s go to bed.” You climbed out of bed and walked with him to your shared room. Helping him take off his pants, the both of you climbed into bed and he pulled you in his arms.
“Thank you sweetheart for being here to take care of me even if I’m a jackass, and thank you for having my baby. God I love you. I don’t deserve you.”
“I love you too, Jensen, and yes you do. You deserve so much. I can’t wait to bring our baby into this world. They are going to be so loved.”
Jensen placed his hand on your belly, “They already are.”
As you laid beside Jensen, him holding you close, you realized that your lives had taken an unexpected turn. But you were determined to face whatever challenges came your way, together. No matter what it was.

As per request by a lovely anon, here are some general updates about me and my life:
I adopted four female rats from the RSPCA last year. It took some work but they are very sweet and silly. Their names are Tali, Liara, Kasumi, and Aria.
Due to an incident in which I was lied to by the employee of a major retailer about two of the rats in their adoption centre, Kasumi and Aria ended up pregnant. I now have 6 beautiful little baby rats as a result. They're gorgeous and doing very well, as are the mothers. They're 5 weeks old.
I'm still in a relationship with my lovely gamer boyfriend. We'll be celebrating 7 years together this year. 💕
Health stuff... I'll try to condense this:
- After a barrage of tests, cameras, scans, and more, I was officially told that I have severe Gastroparesis, which we all but knew. Unfortunately, that was pretty much the end of it. No further appointments, no medication to help symptoms - nothing. I was very much left to fend for myself, and that led to two hospitalizations, one in December of 2023 and one in February of 2024.
- December wasn't unfamiliar territory: 20 hours of vomiting and being unable to keep anything down led to my blood sugars being extremely high (Diabeyic Ketoacidosis). I stayed in for a few days after the DKA cleared up for monitoring.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
- February was... terrifying. Started off the same as December with ceaseless vomiting, but the vomit turned to blood, and I could not stop bringing it up. Couldn't move, keep anything down, vision loss and lots, and lots of bringing up blood. I was in agony. I was rushed to A&E, where I was given anti-emetics and pain relief regularly through the many IVs I had in. Once the vomiting stopped, I was faced with another issue: my oesophagus was so inflamed and damaged that I couldn't eat or drink. I was kept in for 5 days and told that I was at risk of refeeding syndrome as I'd not eaten properly for about 3 days prior to admission. Luckily, that didn't happen, mostly because I was physically incapable of having more than a spoonful of yoghurt or mashed potato for over a week. We found out via my discharge papers that I'd had an Upper GI Haemorrhage. Scary scary scary. One good thing did happen after this admission, though! The team caring for me were absolutely outraged that I'd just been ignored since diagnosis, and I was sent home with an array of medication that has really helped me to get a handle on my symptoms during a flare up.
Tumblr media
- Oh! I managed to catch Covid-19 quite literally on Yule and was very sick throughout New Year. I am vaccinated but caught a strain from Finland from a family member who had been there just before Yule.
I got another tattoo! It's one that I've wanted for almost a decade and I thought, given the stuff I've dealt with in the last 4 months, I deserve a treat.

LETTERS FROM AN AMERICAN
June 26, 2024
HEATHER COX RICHARDSON
JUN 27, 2024
Today President Joe Biden pardoned more than 2000 former military personnel who had been convicted of engaging in consensual sex under a gay sex ban in the military that has since been repealed. People covered under the pardon can apply to have their military discharges corrected and to recover the pay and benefits the convictions cost them. “[M]aintaining the finest fighting force in the world…means making sure that every member of our military feels safe and respected,” Biden said in a statement. 
Biden said he was “righting an historic wrong.” “This is about dignity, decency, and ensuring the culture of our Armed Forces reflect the values that make us an exceptional nation,” he said.
On this date in 2015, the Supreme Court handed down the Obergefell v. Hodges decision, which said that states must license and recognize same-sex marriage because of the Fourteenth Amendment’s requirement that citizens must have the equal protection of the laws and cannot be deprived of rights without due process of the laws.  
In the New York Times today, Kate Zernike explained how the public conversations about abortion have shifted in the two years since the Supreme Court overturned the 1973 Roe v. Wade decision that recognized the constitutional right to abortion. The state bans that went into place have illustrated that abortion is indeed healthcare, as people suffering miscarriages have been unable to obtain the imperative medical care they need. 
Zernike quoted pollster Tresa Undem, who estimated that before the 2022 Dobbs v. Jackson Women’s Health Organization decision overturned Roe, less than 15% of Americans thought that abortion was relevant to them personally. Now, though, Undem said, “it’s about pregnancy, and everybody knows someone who had a baby or wants to have a baby or might get pregnant. It’s profoundly personal to a majority of the public.”
In the three weeks since Biden announced restrictions on asylum applications for undocumented immigrants, the number of people trying to cross the border has dropped more than 40% to its lowest level since he took office. This information will likely come up in tomorrow’s scheduled debate between the president and presumptive Republican nominee Trump, who has made it clear he intends to accuse the president of promoting immigration policies that bring criminals into the United States.
Former representative Adam Kinzinger (R-IL), a military veteran who joined the House Select Committee to Investigate the January 6th Attack on the U.S. Capitol and who has fiercely criticized Trump, today endorsed Biden for president. 
In a video, Kinzinger said: “[W]hile I certainly don’t agree with President Biden on everything, and I never thought I’d be endorsing a Democrat for president, I know that he will always protect the very thing that makes America the best country in the world: our democracy. Donald Trump poses a direct threat to every fundamental American value. He doesn’t care about our country. He doesn’t care about you. He only cares about himself. And he’ll hurt anyone or anything in pursuit of power.” 
On CNN tonight, Georgia governor Brian Kemp told Kaitlan Collins he did not vote for Trump in his state’s Republican primary, although he said he would “support the ticket” in November so that Georgia would remain in Republican hands. It was an interesting statement, since he could easily have deflected the question or simply said he voted for Trump if he cared about avoiding Trump’s wrath. But he appeared not to care, suggesting that Trump’s power even with prominent Republicans is slipping. 
Two Republican voters from Pennsylvania told MSNBC tonight that they are voting for Biden. When asked whether they think there is “a silent Biden voter out there,” one said, “I do. I know there is…. We don’t want to talk about it, but we’re all going to vote for Joe Biden.” 
By a 6–3 vote, the Supreme Court today blessed the practice of taking “gratuities” as a gift for past behavior by an official, distinguishing them from “bribes,” which require proof that there was an illegal deal in place. The case involved a former mayor from Indiana who helped a local truck dealership win $1.1 million in city contracts and then asked for and received $13,000 from the dealership’s owners. The mayor was found guilty of violating a federal anti-corruption law that prohibits state and local officials from taking gifts worth more than $5,000 from someone the official had helped to land lucrative government business.
For the majority, Justice Brett Kavanaugh suggested that the law prohibited officials from accepting “gift cards, lunches, plaques, books, framed photos or the like” in thanks for an official’s help, although David G. Savage of the Los Angeles Times noted that the law came into play only when the gift was worth more than $5,000. 
Savage pointed out that as the federal law in question covers about 20 million state and local officials, the decision could have wide impact. This decision that officials can accept “gifts” so long as they are not “bribes” might have something to do with the fact that Justices Clarence Thomas and Samuel Alito have accepted significant gifts from donors—Thomas’s count is upward of $4 million—and it doesn’t relieve the sense that this Supreme Court, with its three right-wing Trump-appointed justices, is untrustworthy.
Writing for justices Elena Kagan, Sonia Sotomayor, and herself, Justice Ketanji Brown Jackson said, “Officials who use their public positions for private gain threaten the integrity of our most important institutions.” 
Yesterday, House Republicans released draft legislation to fund the Justice Department and the Commerce Departments for fiscal year 2025, which starts October 1. They propose to slash nearly a billion dollars from the Department of Justice in retaliation for its bringing cases against Trump, and both to cut funding for the FBI and to block the construction of its new headquarters. Attorney General Merrick Garland called the cuts “unacceptable” and said that the “effort to defund the Justice Department and its essential law enforcement functions will make our fight against violent crime all the more difficult.”
In a secret vote yesterday  by a House panel that fell along party lines, House Republicans also agreed to say that the last Congress’s construction of the January 6th committee was invalid and illegal. This enabled them to back a last-ditch effort by Trump ally Steve Bannon to stay out of jail. After Bannon refused to respond to the committee’s subpoena for documents and testimony about the January 6 attack, a jury found him guilty of being in contempt of Congress. 
Today, Representative Barry Loudermilk (R-GA) filed a brief with the Supreme Court saying that Bannon was right to ignore the subpoena because the committee was illegally organized. Politico’s Kyle Cheney pointed out that the lawyer for the brief is not a House lawyer but rather comes from America First Legal, a public interest organization put together by Trump loyalist Stephen Miller to challenge the legal efforts to rein in Trump’s orders when in office. 
Finally, Milwaukee journalist Dan Shafer reported in The Recombobulation Area today that event bookings expected for the week of the Republican National Convention, which is set to begin on July 15, four days after Judge Juan Merchan sentences Trump for his 34 criminal convictions, have not materialized. Estimates were that the convention would bring $200 million in economic impact to Milwaukee, but that now appears to be optimistic. “[This is] certainly nothing like we were told or promised,” chef Gregory León told Shafer. With locals staying home to avoid the downtown area during the convention, “[i]f the [reservation] book stays the way it is, we’re not going to make enough money to cover costs.”

This is my brain trying to make sense of the new Eddie/Shannon/Chris timeline
With Shannon’s birth year now canonically being 1992 I thought I’d throw together a rough timeline for her and Eddie’s relationship since it seems to be confusing some people. (Although it doesn’t really matter what year these characters were born and we shouldn’t put too much thought into this bc the show retcons backstories all the time)
It’s canon that Shannon was born Oct 1992 and that Buck was born June 1992 and so logically Eddie was probably born either Sept 1990/91/92 (Edit: Its canon everyone! Eddie is a 1992 baby!). I like thinking that he’s a little older than Buck and so I’m going to stick with Eddie being born 1991. I have edited this to reflect his canon age.
I'm going to break this down by year and bold the stuff that is confirmed canon the other stuff is was I could piece together to make it make sense.
And yes I know their ages might fluctuate depending on when birthdays fall I was just making it easier on myself.
2010:
August: Shannon and Eddie have known each other since they were 14. They start dating in their senior year of high school. Shannon finds out she's pregnant, her and Eddie get married, Eddie enlists in the army (Shannon: 18, Eddie: 18)
Basic training is about 10 weeks plus 16 weeks of medic training so Eddie is away at basic for 26 weeks total (Sept 2010 - Jan 2011)
2011:
Eddie finishes basic in Jan 2011 and goes on his first tour in Feb 2011
Tours are anywhere between 7 and 15 months - lets say Eddie's first tour was 9 months
Eddie gets leave from his tour to be there for Chris' birth but has to return soon after (Shannon: 19, Eddie: 19).
2011-2013:
Eddie is in the army on tours and periodically home
Eddie misses Chris' diagnosis
2013:
Eddie re-enlists without telling Shannon (Shannon: 21, Eddie: 21, Chris: 2)
From my research enlistments are usually 4 years in active duty and two years inactive. However, after you've completed active duty you can extend or re-enlist for another four of active duty. This would align with Eddie's timeline as 2010-2014 would be his first contract and he re-enlisted in 2013 to start his second contract as soon as his first is done.
2015:
Eddie's helicopter gets shot down and Eddie is discharged early from the army (Shannon: 23, Eddie: 23, Chris: 4)
Eddie is a Staff Sergeant at this point which is possible for his age just not common
Shannon leaves to take care of her dying mother
2017:
Helena and Ramon try to take Chris from Eddie
Eddie and Chris leave El Paso for LA
Eddie starts at the Fire Academy (Shannon: 25, Eddie: 25, Chris: 6)
2018:
Eddie joins the 118
Shannon returns and dies
(Shannon: 26, Eddie: 26, Chris: 7, Buck: 26)
Do with this as you will :)

A 35-year-old Texas woman said she had long dreamed of having children with her husband and was thrilled — after a year and a half of trying to conceive through fertility treatments — to learn she was pregnant.
But five weeks into her second trimester, Amanda Zurawaski was told her pregnancy was not viable. Doctors in Texas could not provide any treatment under the state's abortion law, and Zurawaski nearly died as a result, according to a lawsuit she and four other women filed against the state.
The women are asking a state court to clarify Texas' near-total abortion ban to say that doctors should make the final determination about whether women need medically necessary abortion care.
Zurawaski said she was denied care because doctors at her hospital were worried about breaking the law.
Zurawaski's water broke on a Tuesday night but she was forced to wait until her body naturally delivered the baby, who had died, on that Friday, according to the lawsuit. By then her body went into septic shock, the lawsuit said.
She now has permanent scar tissue as a result of infections she developed and will have trouble getting pregnant again, according to the lawsuit filed in District Court in Travis County, Texas.
"Amanda spent three days in the ICU while her infection was treated. Amanda's family flew to Austin from across the country because they worried it would be the last time they would see her," the complaint says. "Amanda was eventually discharged and returned home, but her suffering was far from over."
Texas was the first state to implement a near-total abortion ban in September 2021. The law includes limited exceptions for medical emergencies but provides little clarity about what constitutes an emergency, according to the suit.
The lawsuit was brought against Texas by The Center for Reproductive Rights on behalf of Zurawaski, four other women who underwent similar trauma and illness while pregnant, and two doctors.
Attorney General Ken Paxton and Texas Medical Board executive director Stephen Brint Carlton were also named as defendants in the case.
In a statement to Insider, Paxton's office said he is "committed to doing everything in his power to protect mothers, families, and unborn children, and he will continue to defend and enforce the laws duly enacted by the Texas Legislature."
The office also sent Insider a "guidance letter" on the Texas law, which says the law prohibits the performing, inducing, or attempting of an abortion unless the mother has "a life-threatening physical condition aggravated by, caused by, or arising from a pregnancy that places [her] at risk of death or poses a serious risk of substantial impairment of a major bodily function unless the abortion is performed or induced."
The letter goes on to say that the term "abortion" doesn't apply when these acts are done to "(A) save the life or preserve the health of an unborn child; (B) remove a dead, unborn child whose death was caused by spontaneous abortion; or (C) remove an ectopic pregnancy."
It does not address cases where a nonviable pregnancy — where the fetus still has cardiac activity — is threatening the life of the mother.
The Texas Medical Board did not immediately respond to a request for comment.
THE HOSPITAL WAS SCARED TO VIOLATE THE ABORTION BAN, THE LAWSUIT SAYS
Zurawaski underwent exploratory procedures, used multiple medications, received one misdiagnosis, and was treated with intrauterine insemination before she finally got pregnant for the first time, according to the lawsuit.
The pregnancy was normal until she was diagnosed with an "incompetent cervix" at 17 weeks and 6 days, according to the lawsuit. That's when medical providers told her the pregnancy was not viable.
Having tried so hard to get pregnant in the first place, she and her husband asked if there was anything they could do to save it — even if it meant undergoing a procedure to stitch her cervix closed to prevent preterm birth. The doctor said even that wouldn't work.
When she went home that day, her water broke.
Amanda returned to the emergency room that night and was diagnosed with preterm pre-labor rupture of membranes and was kept overnight in hopes that she would go into labor on her own.
In the morning, she still hadn't gone into labor and the fetus still had cardiac activity, so she was sent home.
"Amanda was told that under Texas's abortion ban, there was no other medical care the hospital could provide," the suit says. "At this point, absent Texas's abortion bans, a patient in Amanda's situation would have been offered an abortion or transferred to a facility that could offer the procedure."
Amanda wasn't offered either "because the hospital was concerned that providing an abortion without signs of acute infection" would be in violation of the abortion ban, the lawsuit says.
The closest clinic where she could get the necessary treatment — an abortion — was 11 hours away in New Mexico, and she needed to stay within 15 minutes of the hospital in case her health declined, the suit says.
For the next two days Zurawaski stayed home, "grieving her inevitable loss and worrying about her own health," the lawsuit says.
On Friday, after a check-up showed her vitals were stable, her health deteriorated.
She developed chills and started shivering, her fever began to spike, and she did not respond to her husband's questions, according to the lawsuit. At the emergency room, she was admitted to the labor and delivery unit. With her temperature now at 103.2 degrees and confirmed to be in sepsis, her medical team agreed she was sick enough that they could induce her labor without violating the abortion ban.
The baby, whom she named Willow, died, according to the lawsuit.
Zurawaski then developed a second infection and went into septic shock, resulting in a three-day ICU stay. After being released she underwent a procedure to remove severe scar tissue from her uterus and one fallopian tube — while the other remains permanently closed, the suit says.
Her medical team told her that in order to get pregnant again, she should undergo IVF treatments, which she had already started by the time the lawsuit was filed on February 6.
"Amanda and her husband have been trying to have children for years, and she not only lost her first pregnancy, but because of Texas's abortion bans, she nearly lost her own life and spent days in the ICU for septic infections whose lasting impacts threaten her fertility and, at a minimum, make it more difficult, if not impossible, to get pregnant again in the future," the suit says.

9-1-1 non-timeline: Shannon and Eddie
I've had some discussion about Shannon come across my dash lately, so I thought I'd throw in my own thoughts. I've a lot of issues with Shannon, but my biggest issue with any discussion about her is always that Eddie and Shannon's timeline is the most fucked up timeline in the whole show. And that's saying something in a show where time just... doesn't seem to go linear? And still people don't think about those contradictions before they use them in their arguments.
Anyway. The Diaz family timeline.
We know Eddie is a Staff Sergeant when he is injured and discharged in 2015. To reach the rank of Staff Sergeant, you have to have at least six years in service. And here we have the first contradiction. Because Chris was born in 2011, four years before Eddie was discharged. And while Shannon said in one of the flashbacks that Eddie went and enlisted when they learned about her pregnancy, that just doesn't make sense with his rank.
So, we as fans are in a position here to decide how to make sense out of it. For me that comes down to the question which of the two facts we are presented is more reliable? A military rank with very strict guidelines or something said by an angry wife in a fight? I'll chose to believe Eddie joined the army at the latest in 2009 if not a little earlier—so long before Chris was even a blip on Shannon and Eddie's radar—and that Shannon tried to gaslight Eddie during their fight about running away.
And also, re-enlisting when Chris was around two years old (estimation based on the appearance of the child we saw Eddie holding when Shannon told him Chris just didn't know him) when Eddie enlisted after learning Shannon was pregnant doesn't make any sense either. Usually, a solider sign up for four years active duty, sometimes six years, and in a few here unlikly cases two years. The rest of the eight-year contract in either case is spent in the reserves. Neither two years nor four years of active duty can be true here with around six months of pregnancy (because they weren't planning it and Shannon probably didn't notice right away, and then enlisting doesn't mean you start your contract right that day). He either would have already enlisted, or much more likely, it would have been a little more than a year away.
The decision to believe the military carrier over spiteful words during a fight, of course, brings us right to the new information that was thrown at us in season 6 in form of her gravestone: Shannon's age, and as Eddie mentioned they were high school sweethearts, his age, too. The thing is, dates on any props in this show are reliably unreliable.
You remember Claudette's death? Which happened several weeks after Chimney and Maddie returned to LA? And that Chimney and Maddie had reconnected on St. Patrick’s Day in Boston? And do you remember the invitation for Claudette's funeral stating her date of death as before St. Patrick’s Day?
Yeah. Dates on props in this show can clearly not be trusted because the props department clearly doesn't check with the writers or the (probably non-existing) series bible. So, I think that date is a mistake.
Eddie would have been 17 in 2009 if he had been born in 1992. Of course, in theory, he could have finished high school with 17 and then joined the army right away. But I doubt he would have made it to Staff Seargeant in just six years if he had joined that young and inexperienced. As far as my research has provided, you have to be very dedicated to your job to get there in the quickest time allowed, and Eddie was dealing with getting married and worrying about becoming a father. At that age, that would have probably been enough of a distraction to make it impossible to get the promotion in the minimal time required to even be able to get it.
So, Eddie was probably not born in 1992. And if we want to believe that they were high school sweethearts, I don't want to believe he is more than a year older than Shannon. But even that would still make his military carrier very tight and unlikly.
For Eddie to have a little bit time between school and army and for him to reach his rank with a little leeway (especially as I don't think that rank was brand new when he was injured) I'd make them at least three years older than the gravestone tried to tell us. Which still makes them very young parents, of course.
And the show didn't only fuck up with Shannon and Eddie's timeline and age. Eddie's sisters are not any better.
In Eddie Begins Helena talks about the birth of her children in the order of Eddie, Sophia, Adriana--and a lot of fandom went "Oh, that's their birth order, otherwise she'd not have talked about them in that order!" I strongly disagree. Because the whole conversation took place over the birth of Eddie's son. Why would they talk about either of his sisters first before him when it was all about Eddie and his family in this moment?
There is also this moment in season 3 when Bobby talks with the rest of the 118 about May's college essay. And Eddie says something about watching his sisters write them and deciding against him. That implies at least one of his sisters is older than him. How could he otherwise have watched his sister work on her college essay and make that the deciding point about not going to college himself? If he was the oldest, he'd already have made that decision.
In season 6 we then of course learn that when Adriana was born, Eddie was old enough that his father had already told him he needed to be the man of the family (why are all the parents of the mains so horrible) and that he was tall enough to reach the pedals of his father's car and still look over the steering wheel. At least a little, probably. I don't think he'd have gotten the idea he could drive the car if he hadn't been able to see anything. So, I'd estimate Eddie is anything between 10 and 12 or even 13 years older than Adriana. And Sophia is even another couple of years older than Eddie. That's a pretty huge age gab to the youngest sibling (and makes her be age difference to Christopher less than to her siblings).

postpartum journal #1
I don’t know if anyone wants to read this or maybe it’s also a lot of TMI but I want to write and I think it’s important to share? It feels a little odd because Tumblr still feels like a space for my teenager/young adult self and not a space for being a mother. But I don’t think I’ve read anyone that did really journal frankly about their experience (probably that Sarah Hawkinson video that I watched was the most frank I’ve seen someone talk about the motherhood experience)
So more under the cut. If you’re reading it/read it and am worried about me, I am doing okay and getting help in many different ways. My thoughts might be all over the place, please be gracious.
It’s been slightly more than a week since I gave birth. One more day to two weeks really. I’m still reeling from a lot of that has happened. I remembered being very worried the days prior to labour because Friday (28/6) I had an appointment for induction if labour still hasn’t decided to start . And as luck would have had it, I started feeling strong contractions 1am of 28/6. Around 17hours of struggle and labour, baby was born.
I didn’t know then but there was a few complications during the last stages of delivery. Episiotomy was performed. Vacuum extraction was used to get baby out too. Baby heartbeat was lost for a good 2-3mins. She turned out fine, pretty fine to say the least. Just perhaps a little stressed out. I didn’t know then, I only knew in depth what happened after reading the delivery report when I got discharged from the hospital.
Waves of emotions flooded me when they placed baby on my chest. I cried like a baby for a good five minutes or so, that my husband had tried to comfort me to get me to stop crying with all the bystanders around. It’s still hard to comprehend the fact that I’m a mother now. That this is what it took to be a mother.
I have to remind myself that as many days old my daughter is, I am as many days old as a mother. Today during the home visit by a midwife from the child health centre, she said to me “when a child is born, a parent is born too” I’m still trying to make sense of everything that has happened.
The birthing was a traumatic experience, the aftermath is still quite traumatic. My stitches needed restitching twice and still requiring follow ups to check if they will rupture again. On the day we were going to be discharged from the maternity ward, I woke up at 4am with my daughter on my chest (they encourage to maximise skin to skin contact while you’re still in ward) and I cried to myself silently. It finally hitting me that she’s going to be my responsibility now. That I am going to take her home. That she is mine. Sometimes I look at her and I have to remind myself that she’s my daughter. MY daughter. Not someone else’s. Not my sister. Not my husband’s sister. Or someone else’s baby. She is mine and she is made of me (and husband)
We went to the supermarket the first time today. It’s my first time after giving birth. The last time I was there, I was still pregnant. I also remember the first time I went on the bus again after giving birth. It is still hard to put together these experiences. The stark differences in myself, being pregnant and now after giving birth. People don’t treat me any different. But I feel so very different inside. I took myself out for walks everyday during the last week of pregnancy (it feels weird even writing this too) and I went to that supermarket almost every single day with my big pregnant belly. And today I was back there again, navigating through the aisles with husband, stroller and baby in tow. Nothing really changed except me. I walked past the cookies aisle, how many times I’ve stood there negotiating with my pregnant belly (my daughter then still inside of me) whether to get another box of chocolate cookies or not. I stopped there for a minute, baby is fast asleep in the stroller. She can’t have chocolate cookies now anyway too. The jarring effect of motherhood.

A bit of self projection. I had appendicitis in November and almost went septic as my appendix ruptured and had to wait from 6 a.m. until 5 p.m for surgery. Went to work feeling strange, like my stomach was in a knot but I just thought I was coming down with some kind of virus. Stayed from 8:30 a.m until 4 p.m and then went home early.
Spent the rest of the evening feeling like shit, feverish, nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, feeling hot and cold at the same time. Barely slept that night and then 3 a.m was most likely when my appendix decided it wanted to move out, the pain reached 10/10 and my belly was so swollen I looked second trimester pregnant but didn't actually go the hospital until after 5 a.m.
Luckily I live with my parents so they drove me and got confirmation that it was appendicitis but the doctors didn't have confirmation on whether my appendix burst until surgery. Thanks to laparoscopic surgery, I only have three small scars. Had a draining tube for the five days I was in the hospital and then on antibiotics for a week, my appetite didn't fully return until two weeks post op, not being able do my usual six day a week workout routine sucked and was off work for six weeks. That pain is something you never forget and I will also never forget the feeling of the draining tube being pulled out of my body.
Imagine a scenario in which Rain and Sky get appendicitis at different times and how Phayu and Prapai would dote on them even more than they already do after getting discharged from the hospital.

Jamie Lee Morales, 30 (USA July 9, 2016)
Tumblr media
Jamie Lee Morales went for an abortion on July 9, 2016. She was 23 weeks pregnant.
The abortionist was Robert Rho, who became notorious for cutting corners at the expense of his client’s safety. Instead of taking the 2–3 days necessary to examine Jamie and effectively use dilators to prepare, he rushed through the abortion in a single day, skipping steps and cutting costs at every opportunity.
Jamie paid for Rho’s recklessness and greed with her life. He tore her uterus, lacerated her cervix and vagina and cut through an artery. Someone administered anesthesia, but the abortion facility didn’t have anyone qualified or trained as an anesthesiologist.
There was still time to at least try to save Jamie. Of an ambulance had been called immediately and fully informed about Jamie’s injuries, she might have had a chance to survive. But Rho never called an ambulance.
Jamie drifted in and out of consciousness until Rho discharged her. He sent her on her way even though she was weak from severe internal bleeding and had already collapsed at one point.
While she was in her sister’s car, Jamie lost consciousness again. Her terrified sister rushed her to the hospital. Despite being given 6 units of blood, Jamie didn’t survive the night.
Robert Rho was arrested and charged with second-degree manslaughter equivalent to reckless homicide in Jamie Lee’s death because he injured her so severely and then failed to take steps to save her life. It was also discovered that Rho was guilty of improper handling and storage of biohazards and human remains— the corpse of Jamie’s 23-week baby was found in a plastic trash bag outside the door of the facility.
Rho was released on bail and became notorious for his carelessness and for grinning widely in his mug shot. At his trial he copped a plea to a lesser charge just moments before the jury verdict on a more serious charge of manslaughter was about to be read. If convicted on that charge, Rho could have spent up to 15 years in prison. Because of the plea deal, he was only sentenced to 16 months to 4 years in prison. He surrendered his medical license and the abortion facility that killed Jamie was shut down.
In addition to killing Jamie, Rho had been sued by multiple employees for sexual harassment.

EMS Sculptor Slimming Machine For Weight Loss And Muscle Gain
Article source: https://www.litonlaser.com/ems-sculptor-slimming-machine-for-weight-loss-and-muscle-gain/
Electrical Muscle Stimulators (EMS Slimming Equipment)
The demand for body shape has always been a very important project in the beauty market.
There are many beauty equipment that can also meet the needs of slimming, such as cryolipolysis technology, vacuum negative pressure technology, etc., but these are very traditional technologies, which are old technologies from more than 10 years ago.
Now many markets are beginning to tend to the new slimming technology-EMS SCULPTOR SLIMMING Equipment. This is a safe beauty machine that uses a combination of strong magnetic force and RF.
Tumblr media
The EMS slimming machine has two main functions.
1.EMS SCULPTOR equipment can reduce fat by 30%.
Synchrode RF technology can release RF while emitting a high-frequency contraction signal of HIGH pulse, heating the fat layer to 45 degrees, directly destroying the fat cell tissue, causing it to die naturally, while maintaining a comfortable temperature during the treatment. The destroyed fat cells will be discharged from the body, reducing the thickness of the fat layer and shaping the Fit & Firm lines.
2.EMS SCULPTOR machine increases muscle by 25%.
With the new HIgh pulse high-frequency contraction design, it penetrates deep into the muscle tissue and directly triggers the motor neurons. It makes the muscles produce higher-frequency contractions in 30 minutes, and quickly sees the effect of muscle growth. Beyond general exercise, 4 treatments are equivalent to 12-16 weeks of training. Combined with Synchronode RF to release heat, it improves the body’s blood circulation and stimulates muscle growth.
About the configuration of the EMS slimming machine.
It is a desktop machine with 4 handles (two large handles and two small handles) + 1 magnetic seat.

Are periods disgusting
Tumblr media
There are several questions we want to ask when we get our period for the first time. And the first thing we want to know is — Are periods disgusting? No, periods are not disgusting at all. Periods are a natural part of a woman’s life and are normal. There is no reason to feel disgusted about having them, and there is nothing to be embarrassed about here.
However, we must now acknowledge that periods are beautiful and that menstrual cycles represent the foundation for the creation of new life. We’ll start by trying to figure out what periods are, and then we’ll decide if they’re disgusting or not!
Why do we get periods?
A period (menstruation) is regular vaginal bleeding that occurs as part of a healthy monthly cycle for a woman having a uterus and ovaries. Each month, your body gets ready to get pregnant. The lining of your uterus thickens with more blood vessels and a better blood supply to effectively care for the implanted embryo. When an egg gets fertilised, it develops into a growing embryo. This embryo will attach to the lining of your uterus, receiving nourishment from the placenta as it gradually grows into a fully developed human baby. However, when the egg is not fertilised, the thick lining of the uterus will start to break down since your body no longer needs it. Eventually, the lining with all of its blood supply passes from your vagina with a bloody discharge. This process occurs every month and is known as menstruation or periods.1
Let us understand this process in detail:
A woman’s menstrual cycle typically lasts four weeks, starting on the first day of bleeding and ending when her next period begins. The menstrual fluid consists of blood, uterine endometrial tissue, and the unfertilized egg. A mature egg is usually released from one of the ovaries and travels to the fallopian tube. After maturing, the egg enters the fallopian tube where it may or may not be fertilised. If the developed egg is not fertilised in the fallopian tube, it moves into the uterus and is released out of the vagina along with the endometrial lining and other menstrual secretions.
If the egg and sperm meet in the fallopian tube, the egg is fertilised and becomes an embryo. You become pregnant when this fertilised egg (embryo) attaches to the uterine wall (a process known as implantation).2 Periods often last for 2–3 days of relatively heavy bleeding followed by 2–4 days of lighter flow. Bleeding for 2 to 7 days is normal. Although it might seem like a lot of blood is lost during periods, most women only lose 1–6 teaspoons of blood and tissue. Depending on the cycle, bleeding could be red, brown, or pink. It can occasionally be clumpy, which is normal.3
Are periods disgusting? Superstitions about periods in India:
Periods are the subject of numerous superstitions that society has developed over time. Many of these superstitions are unjustified rules of behaviour that also encourage discrimination and taboos based on gender. These myths make it more challenging for women to talk about their periods, which encourages silence, shame, and miscommunication.
Here are a few examples of period myths:
You can’t touch anyone or anything in the house.
You can’t workout during your period.
You shouldn’t wash your hair until the third or fourth day of your period.
You have to wash your pads before discarding them.
You should not have sex when you are on your period.
You are not allowed to go inside the kitchen or cook for others.
You are not permitted to visit a place of worship.
You may only enter the kitchen or the place of worship on or after the fourth day after washing your hair.
Applying henna (mehndi) during your menstruation is not advised.
You can’t touch plants during your period.
The reasons for following any of these superstitions are not supported by science. These are creations of society and have nothing to do with periods being unclean or unusual.
There shouldn’t be any superstitions or limitations on a person’s life because of their period because they are not disgusting. A woman’s period is a regular aspect of her life. In reality, it is beautiful because it forms the very foundation of life. So stop believing these myths and superstitions.4
Is having a period gross?
No, having a period is not disgusting! The way our society has decided to describe it makes it sound disgusting and gross. Since periods ensure that life goes on, they should be embraced rather than avoided. Multiple hormones, glands, and organs are in a delicate balance during the menstrual cycle. The hypothalamus and pituitary glands regulate hormone production, which regulates estrogen and progesterone levels. Estrogen and progesterone levels also vary along your menstrual cycle, reaching a high when ovulation occurs with progesterone levels then taking over and gradually ebbing with the onset of bleeding. If there is no bleeding and the ovary releases an egg that is fertilised by coming into contact with sperm, life will continue.
We don’t have to keep a tampon hidden or mention that we need one in a low voice. Talking about periods should be a regular topic of discussion. The more we talk and share about our periods, the fewer people think they are disgusting.
Is period blood clean or dirty? Why is the period considered dirty?
Period blood was historically considered impure due to the patriarchal nature of society and a lack of scientific advances. Nobody knew why women would bleed every month, so many cultures developed their theories. But these outdated notions are no longer relevant because we now fully understand why we get periods, thanks to scientific advances. Women were sometimes forced to live in unsanitary conditions and were socially isolated from their families in numerous nations because such communities felt that menstrual blood was nasty or polluting. None of those techniques, however, is supported by any scientific studies.
Period blood does not spread infections, is not dirty, or does not cause any infections in the body. However, if you allow menstrual products like pads or tampons to remain in for longer than recommended then it can lead to infections. There is no reason to consider period blood to be dirty as long as one maintains good hygiene

Individual factors like health and nutrition can influence frequency.Duration of a Heat CycleAbout 2-3 weeks, with the most fertile period (days 9-14) in the middle.Signs of a Heat Cycle* Swollen vulva and vaginal discharge (often bloody) * Increased attraction to male dogs * More frequent urination and marking * Restlessness and clinginess * Changes in appetiteManaging Your Yorkie in Heat* Hygiene: Keep her clean to prevent infections. * Leash walks: supervise outings to avoid accidental mating. * Secure containment: Prevent escapes during fertile periods. * Consider spaying: Discuss this permanent solution with your vet. Remember: Every Yorkie is unique, and their heat cycles may vary slightly from these averages. Consulting your veterinarian is always recommended for personalized guidance. Understanding when your Yorkshire Terrier, commonly known as a Yorkie, goes into heat is vital for any owner, whether you're planning to breed or just ensuring the best care for your pet. A Yorkie's heat cycle is a significant part of her life and can begin anytime between five and 14 months of age. It's important not to worry if your Yorkie seems to be a late bloomer; each dog is unique, and cycles can vary even with the same breed.
Tumblr media
Your Yorkie's first heat will signify her entry into reproductive maturity. During this time, you might notice physical and behavioral changes, such as swelling of the vulva or increased affection. Recognizing these signs can help you provide the right care and comfort. Generally, Yorkies go into heat approximately every six months after their first cycle, although some variation is normal. Knowing what to expect and when can help you prepare for all the stages of her heat cycle, ensuring that you are providing a safe and supportive environment for her.
Key Takeaways
- Yorkies enter their first heat between five and 14 months. - Heat cycles can be identified by physical and behavioral changes. - Regular cycles occur about every six months following the first heat.
Understanding Yorkie Heat Cycles
Tumblr media
When your female Yorkie reaches maturity, she will start experiencing heat cycles, which are crucial for breeding and overall health. Let's dive into what these cycles look like and how you can recognize when your Yorkie is in heat. The Stages of a Yorkie's Heat Cycle Proestrus: This is the start of the heat cycle where your Yorkie begins to attract male dogs. Signs include: - Swollen vulva: It becomes more pronounced. - Bloody discharge: A small amount of bleeding or discharge is normal. Estrus: The actual fertile phase known as estrus follows, typically lasting around 5 to 10 days, but can vary. Here, the vulva remains swollen, and the discharge lightens in color. Diestrus: The winding-down phase, where your Yorkie's body returns to normal even if she's not pregnant. Anestrus: The final phase is a period of inactivity before the next cycle begins, usually lasting several months. Recognizing Signs of Heat in Your Yorkie You’ll notice behavioral changes such as: - Mood swings: Your Yorkie may seem more affectionate or, conversely, more irritable. - Appetite changes: Some Yorkies eat less during their heat cycle. Physical signs include: - Continued vulva swelling and changes in discharge - The release of pheromones which attract male dogs Keep an eye out for these cues to provide your Yorkie with extra care and attention during these times. Age of First Heat and Frequency Yorkies typically experience their first heat around 5 to 12 months of age, with many commencing at 10 to 12 months. After the first heat, Yorkies will come into heat roughly twice a year, though this can fluctuate. Each heat can last anywhere from 2-4 weeks, so it's important to be prepared for this biannual event.
Caring for a Yorkie in Heat
Tumblr media
When your Yorkie first enters her heat cycle, understanding how to manage her health and comfort, as well as any breeding considerations, is crucial to ensure she remains happy and healthy. Health and Comfort Management Your Yorkie's health and comfort is your top priority during her heat. Expect mood swings and a change in behavior—some Yorkies may become more affectionate while others might display aggression or anxiety. Here's how to support her: - Exercise: Maintain regular walks but keep your furry friend on a leash to avoid unwanted attention from male dogs. However, don't overdo it—she may need more rest than usual. - Mess Management: Get ready for some spotting. Disposable diapers can save your carpets and furniture from vaginal discharge. Just make sure to change them frequently to avoid skin irritation. - Comfort Zone: Create a cozy space with extra bedding for nesting, as she might want a private spot to rest. Sometimes, a toy or two might help keep her calm. - Health Check-ups: Keep an eye out for any signs of health complications, and visit the vet for regular check-ups. This is also a good time to discuss the pros and cons of spaying, which can be beneficial for her long-term health. Breeding Considerations If you're considering breeding your Yorkie, remember that timing and health are everything: - Fertility: Yorkshire Terriers are typically fertile for a few days during their heat cycle. Recognize when this period occurs, usually signaled by a change in vaginal discharge color from red to a straw-like hue. - Mating: Planning for puppies means ensuring your Yorkie is in prime health. Consult your vet about pre-breeding health evaluations. - Post-Breeding Care: After mating, monitor for signs of pregnancy and prepare for a trip to the vet to confirm. If she's pregnant, you'll need to focus on her nutrition and well-being to support her through pregnancy and the subsequent recovery. Remember, each dog is unique, so tailor your approach to your Yorkie's individual needs, and don't hesitate to seek vet assistance if you're unsure about her health at any stage during her heat.
