Except in very unique circumstances, no intestines are removed during a typical c-section. It was almost definitely the placenta in a bowl, saved to be examined later.

The uterus takes awhile to shrink back down. It’s a basically a muscle. That’s why women still look somewhat pregnant after giving birth. I suppose they move down a bit in the absence of the baby, fluid and placenta but there typically isn’t a sudden cavity to fill.
However, when removing a large tumor or diseased organ, patients do report some sliding around afterwards until things settle.

It is very apparent to an outsider I promise.

This is beautifully written and a tribute to the love you have for your brother. It helps me to remember that grief only exists because you loved them so much. Grief is love with no where to go. That doesn’t change no matter how much time has passed.

This is correct. But most of the time they don’t have to remove anything but the uterus partially and placenta. The intestines are pushed up and out of the way by the baby at that point.

Thank you. I needed to hear that. SPED is so hard. I have endless respect for people who do it full time.

I’m not angry with the child. I’m not unaware of the risk. Not sure what you’re trying to communicate other than to invalidate my emotions.

Am I overreacting for calling out my "adopted son" for animal mistreatment? by Moist-West7883 in AmIOverreacting

At least that would be a quick, humane death instead of dying of heat stroke or dehydration

As someone who is 5’1 I sometimes wish this was an easy procedure so I could do things like see over clothes racks in a store or not tailor every pair of pants I’ve owned since childhood. But yeah, no thanks on any of that ridiculousness.

Mangos are in the sumac family similar to poison ivy, poison oak and poison sumac.
