Not all good comes to those who wait
Pairings: Shanks x Female Reader
Warnings: Pregnancy talk and pretty sensitive subjects. Hurt/Comfort and angst. Ectopic pregnancy. You can scroll if this is too much for you.
This is something for me personally to try and get over what's been going on in my life. In the past three months, my relationship almost ended, we got evicted, and as soon as we got moved, I found out I was pregnant at the beginning of October. Last week, I found out it was an ectopic pregnancy, and I've just... not been the same since. But I miss you guys so much, so this is me trying to get past my shitty brain block the best way I know how.
Tumblr media
Shanks knows that there is something going on when Trafalgar D. Water Law's face dims in silent sympathy while doing your evaluation. You are only a couple of weeks pregnant, having found out when you couldn't keep any of your food down over a couple of days at the beginning of the month. You had come to him with a bright smile on your beautiful face, hand held protectively over your stomach and the growing bean inside as you quietly told him the good news.
It was unexpected, but not unwelcome. The two of you would hide away in his cabin, whispering sweet words to one another while Shanks held your still-flat belly. He doted on whatever you needed, making sure that you would be comfortable and safe for the duration of your pregnancy. To make sure all went well, he had contacted the Surgeon of Death and asked if Law could come on board and give you a check-up.
With the use of his devil fruit, Law could see that the embryo had not implanted in the correct spot in your womb like it should have been. Instead, it had planted itself in your right fallopian tube. He shucked his latex gloves off and eyed you and the red-haired captain.
You could see the look on his face, and your heart plummets when you catch your lover reaching out to curl his hand around your wrist, squeezing softly as he asks Law what was going on.
Trafalgar clears his throat, tone soft as he locks eyes with you and explains what had happened. Law explains that this is an ectopic pregnancy. That the embryo isn't viable with it having attached to the incorrect part of your body and that the best course of action for your heath would be for him to remove it. He tells you that it is nothing that you have done, that it's simply a freak accident that could happen to anyone. You listen with cotton between your ears, heart shattering, not just for the bean inside you, but for yourself and Shanks.
The excitement you had felt with the check-up plummets into dispare, and you don't realize that you're crying until Shanks slips his hand from your wrist and gently wipes the tears from your cheeks. Law leaves the room to you and your lover, and you stare at him with fearful eyes.
"I don't...was it my fault? What..?"
Shanks immediately pulls you close and into his chest, lips pressed against the crown of your head as he fights back the feeling of tears gathering in his eyes. His own heart is breaking, fear and worry breaking out, and feeling heavy in his chest. He wants to rage and cry at the sea, demand why his amazing darling couldn't have the one thing the two of them had been so excited for. But you don't need that right now. You need him to he strong, so he would be.
"None of its your fault, baby," He whispers furiously and clutches you tighter when you turn to bury your face in his chest, shoulders shaking as sobs begin to overwhelm you. You wrap an arm around your stomach, grief clouding your brain for a child that you would never get the chance to know.
"I've got you, baby. Whatever happens, I'll never let you go," Shanks whispers, and you latch onto his words, eyes clenched shut in pain. You listen to him whisper sweet reassurances and know that slowly, and with time, that you would be okay.
You pull away just enough that Shanks can dip down and seal his lips over your own, his lashes wet with unshed tears. He would make sure that you would pull through. He would be the rock that you needed.
*Ectopic pregnancies are tough, and I hope that this can help someone else know that none of it is your fault. If there is anyone out there that just needs a shoulder to cry on or a kind word, please feel free to message me.*

Remember How "Prolifers" Swore They Knew an Ectopic Pregnancy Was Nonviable and Said We Were Fearmongering for Using It as an Example Against Abortion Bans?
According to a press release, Doe thought she might be pregnant in October 2022 and wanted to get an ultrasound. She found Clearway through an online search and got an appointment later that day. A Clearway nurse did an ultrasound and said the pregnancy was both viable and in her uterus; the suit says it’s against state medical regulations for registered nurses to read ultrasounds because they’re not licensed diagnosticians. A physician didn’t see Doe, though her discharge paperwork said a medical doctor provided her care. A month later, Doe felt shooting pain on her side and was so weak and lightheaded that her husband called 911, per the release. Emergency room doctors diagnosed her with a ruptured ectopic pregnancy and internal hemorrhage. In order to stop the hemorrhaging, doctors did emergency surgery in which they had to remove of one of her fallopian tubes. None of this should have been necessary, as legitimate medical providers would have ended Doe’s life-threatening pregnancy with medication—typically the cancer drug methotrexate.

I’ve been following Alex from Growing Goodings for a while on Insta and saw her post about her ectopic pregnancy. She acknowledged that she could die from it but is still proceeding with it. It’s so wild to me that she’d put herself at risk. She has 7 children as is. Like why does she need to do this?
I'm adding some additions I saw from @nerdfundiefollower @duggarsetal and @justhereforfundies to add some context bc it sounds like they have more knowledge about the situation than I do:
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
-------------------------------
I'm glad that it seems to be the case that she maybe didn't describe her exact situation correctly, and isn't essentially choosing *certain* death, although it sounds like she's very high risk regardless which is still extremely concerning.
Overall, it just really sucks that right-wing extremism has convinced so many women that this kind of choice is a noble one. I don't understand the logic behind people who structure their whole lives around having kids putting themselves at such a preventable risk, and possibly orphaning said kids just to prove a political point. It's genuinely, genuinely depressing and I hope her many children don't lose a parent over this cult-y arrogance.

Eleanor Klibanoff at Texas Tribune:
Two women have filed federal complaints against Texas hospitals they say refused to treat their ectopic pregnancies, leading both women to lose their fallopian tubes and endanger their future fertility. Texas law allows doctors to terminate ectopic pregnancies, a condition in which the fertilized egg implants in the fallopian tubes, instead of the uterus. Ectopic pregnancies are always non-viable and can quickly become life-threatening if left untreated. Despite these protections, these women say they were turned away from two separate hospitals that refused to treat them. The complaint alleges that the doctors and hospitals are so fearful of the state’s abortion laws, which carry penalties of up to life in prison when violated, that they are hesitating to perform even protected abortions.
The complaints were filed with the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, under the Emergency Medical Treatment and Labor Act, or EMTALA, a federal statute that requires hospitals to provide stabilizing medical care to anyone who shows up. That rule has long been interpreted to include medically necessary abortions, which has run up against state bans, including in Texas. Typically, federal EMTALA complaints are investigated by state health agencies, but the Center for Reproductive Rights, which filed the complaint, is asking for it to instead be handled by the federal Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services, or CMS. “CMS should not rely solely on a state agency’s assessment of the facts in reaching its determination because of Texas state officials’ hostility toward interpreting EMTALA as requiring hospitals to provide pregnancy termination to pregnant patients experiencing emergency medical conditions,” they wrote in the complaints. The U.S. Supreme Court earlier this year declined to say that Idaho’s abortion ban trumps the EMTALA requirement, but a federal appeals court in New Orleans has found that Texas hospitals cannot be required under EMTALA to provide life-saving abortions.
Similar diagnoses, similar results
Kyleigh Thurman says in the complaint that she went to Ascension Seton Williamson Hospital in Round Rock, north of Austin, with a tubal ectopic pregnancy. She says the hospital initially discharged her without treating the ectopic pregnancy, but she returned three days later with vaginal bleeding and worsening symptoms. Despite her doctor’s orders, the hospital refused to give her methotrexate, a common treatment that stops an ectopic pregnancy from continuing to develop. “Infuriated, Ms. Thurman’s OB-GYN met Ms. Thurman at Ascension Williamson to plead with the medical staff to give her methotrexate,” the complaint says. They eventually agreed. But it was too late; the ectopic pregnancy had grown too large, and ruptured. Thurman nearly bled to death and had to have her right fallopian tube removed. A spokesperson for Ascension declined to discuss the specifics of the case, but said in a statement that they are “committed to providing high-quality care to all who seek our services.”
Kelsie Norris-De La Cruz had a similar experience at Texas Health Arlington Memorial Hospital, outside Dallas. An emergency room physician diagnosed her with a tubal ectopic pregnancy and said she should get an injection of methotrexate or have surgery to remove the pregnancy. She chose surgery, but once the on-call OB/GYNs arrived, the complaint alleges, the hospital refused to treat her and told her to come back in 48 hours. “Ms. Norris-De La Cruz’s mother asked if the hospital’s refusal to provide care had anything to do with Texas’s abortion bans but received no response,” the complaint says. “As the conversation became more heated, the OB/GYN confirmed it was possible that Ms. Norris-De La Cruz could rupture over the next 48 hours and subsequently stormed out of the room.” Texas Health did not immediately respond to request for comment.
Norris-De La Cruz eventually found an OB/GYN through a friend who agreed to perform an emergency surgery to remove the ectopic pregnancy. By then, the mass had grown so large that it required also removing her right fallopian tube and 75% of her right ovary. “I ended up losing half of my fertility and if I was made to wait any longer, it’s very likely I would have died,” Norris-De La Cruz said in a statement. “These bans are making it nearly impossible to get basic emergency healthcare. So, I’m filing this complaint because women like me deserve justice and accountability from those that hurt us. Texas state officials can’t keep ignoring us. We can’t let them.”
Two Texas women, Kyleigh Thurman and Kelsie Norris-De La Cruz, filed federal EMTALA complaints against 2 Texas hospitals over refusal to treat ectopic pregnancies as a result of Texas’s strict anti-abortion laws.

How to tell someone you know nothing about evolution without saying you know nothing about evolution (3/?)
"Humans are perfectly designed!"
=-=-=-=
There's a gap between the ovaries and the fallopian tubes, which often leads to fertilized eggs implanting outside the uterus (because it missed the fallopian tube entrance).
An embryo implanting outside the uterus means that the embryo is guaranteed to not survive and that the pregnant individual is also 100% absolutely guaranteed to die if the embryo is not removed/aborted.
Most fertilized eggs don't successfully implant in the womb and are washed away with period blood without the pregnant person being any wiser about it.
Our spine's structure is perfect for walking on all fours, not on two legs, which means that, as we age, our backs are guaranteed to have health issues.
This would not happen if we walked on all fours.
As we age, our eyes' lenses lose their structural integrity and bend out of shape, causing people to need glasses in order to be able to see properly.
About 75% of adults need to use some kind of vision correction.
And some of us, like myself, have needed glasses since toddlerhood otherwise we'd be legally blind because our lenses were misshapen from birth.
We eat/drink and breathe out of the same body part, making choking and aspirating food and drink very common and likely.
Hundreds of thousands of people die by choking on something every year. In 2020 in Canada it was 3,000, in Japan it's about 4,000 yearly, in the US it tends to vary between 4,000 and 5,000 people, with an average of 140 being children.

An ectopic pregnancy:
A pregnancy that implants itself outside of the uterus.
A pregnancy that is not viable. A pregnancy that cannot be saved. A pregnancy that if left without treatment could be fatal to the mother carrying the baby…
A pregnancy that is left to grow in a mother’s body until their body disposes of it or until they require medical intervention.
My heart break is that I’m holding onto a little human that I can’t bring to this world.

I love Elder Uchdorf, but this talk is being hard for me. I suffered an ectopic pregnancy rupture a month ago and as such I loss my pregnancy and a fallopian tube. So this talk about parenthood is making my heart cry because of the fact I loss my baby and my heart and soul is still yearning for them. I know parenthood is important but it still stings

Tomorrow marks a year since I had my ectopic pregnancy and found out I could no longer have children naturally. It’s been a year full of grief, hurt, anger, healing, love, therapy, joy, adventures, and so much more. I’m happy for how far I’ve come, but I still struggle. Moving on has been a little easier, most days. I’m giving myself the biggest and sweetest hug this week.🫂 reminder to be gentle to yourself

What’s wild is what kept me alive as a teen was the possibility to have children. I loved kids, I loved my little brother so much. Those were my two big reasons to not committing suicide, as I wanted one more than life itself. Now, I have a huge cyst on my fallopian tube and potentially ovary. I was made aware if I do get surgery it increases my chance for an ectopic pregnancy and I also would have the chance of losing the tube and the ovary. (Thank god women have 2)
And my brother and I aren’t as close now that he’s a little man living life. Funny how life works, staying around till you’re ready to have kids and now I have a huge cyst impacting that.

quick question- do you know what an ectopic pregnancy is? one of your recent posts you were celebrating that Wyoming does not allow for termination of an ectopic pregnancy, so I'm wondering if you know what it is
Yes I do. I have a friend who has had an ectopic pregnancy. You need to read the actual bill before making assumptions.

Women with ectopic pregnancies in Wyoming will still be treated because it’s not an abortion.

Very excited for my bloodwork coming back this evening
Longer story ahead. Tw pregnancy and loss
Got my first period at the end of April after removing my nexplanon, got a weird vibe and got a positive pregnancy test right after it ended
Tests were slowly getting darker, but like, very slowly
Start bleeding and passing tissue the day before my 8 wk appt
Go to er that night because all that and my shoulder really hurts
Get diagnosed with ectopic in my right tube, not ruptured so don't really know why my shoulder hurts
Hcg looks like it might be starting to go down, but then it raises again
Have to choose to either have surgery to remove the tube, or get a methotrexate shot which stops rapid cell division and I can't breastfeed anymore
Hard wean baby, get the shot at a chemo center
4 days later get labs drawn and hcg has dropped by 600 when it could actually potentially rise a bit in this time period
3 days later is today and if it keeps dropping appropriately I can skip surgery and having to have the tube removed. My bit of "things going appropriately" lately
