This is fucking disgusting this woman needs to grieve her loss. Not wait for it to go. This is just so wrong on so many levels.

(14,659 posts)But not the sac. Ergo, she needs a D&C, but depending on the state she resides in, can't have one. This is an ABOMINATION that needs to be corrected!

(34,737 posts)Hydatidiform mole (HM) is a rare mass or growth that forms inside the womb (uterus) at the beginning of a pregnancy. It is a type of gestational trophoblastic disease (GTD).
Causes
HM, or molar pregnancy, results from abnormal fertilization of the oocyte (egg). It results in an abnormal fetus. The placenta grows normally with little or no growth of the fetal tissue. The placental tissue forms a mass in the uterus. On ultrasound, this mass often has a grape-like appearance, as it contains many small cysts.
The chance of mole formation is higher in older women. A history of mole in earlier years is also a risk factor.
Molar pregnancy can be of two types:
Partial molar pregnancy: There is an abnormal placenta and some fetal development.
Complete molar pregnancy: There is an abnormal placenta and no fetus.

(23,597 posts)I don't know but I remember my mother saying she didn't believe I was pregnant because they couldn't find it. And that hurt me terribly. There was a reason there were pregnancy hormones and they were moving down but then stopped. I don't think you create pregnancy hormones unless you are pregnant. But the embryo was missing and I don't know why and the doctors were not sure either. The pregnancy hormones didn't go away until I was given a shot of Methotrexate that killed the pregnancy. Then I had no more pregnancy hormones.
Shit happens.

it didn't matter if it was a red or blue state
a women's right to her own body won every time in every election but in November 2024 that voting block disappeared. Thanx

Freedom of religion also means freedom from religion too. And that includes women's health care.
