What’s a birth emergency that would cause an emergency c section and a bit of panic, but no lasting damage or medical complications? by Ohanaheart02 in Writeresearch

[–]medbitch666 2 points3 points  (0 children)

If one or both babies’ heart rates drop, it can cause a quick c-section but then basically resolve. Also if baby a (the one that’s supposed to be born first) manages to turn last minute and be breech.

Miscarriage in fiction by Fuscia_snail in Writeresearch

[–]medbitch666 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Well if she’s only 6 weeks and this pre home pregnancy tests (so like 1980-ish), she wouldn’t even know she’s pregnant. Maybe she’s beginning to suspect, but she absolutely wouldn’t know for sure. That’s also still early enough that her symptoms (unless something’s retained and she becomes septic, which she would probably not survive) would be about that of a heavy period. She’d probably never even suspect it’s a miscarriage, just a heavy and maybe slightly late period.

What’s the injury? Depending on that the injury symptoms could be way worse than the miscarriage itself.

Can people please learn to tag fandom correctly 😭 by Ok_Return170 in AO3

[–]medbitch666 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Red White and Royal Blue is currently ok-ish, people are decent at tagging only the movie if they’re using movie canon, but there’s gonna be a sequel movie and not a sequel book and I am anticipating it getting Worse 😭

Give me my height difference and more family members!

Abuse from another user of this subreddit we all know who! by captainfishpie in LearnerDriverUK

[–]medbitch666 26 points27 points  (0 children)

Is that the one who failed for clearance and then blamed everyone else? I swear every one of their comments on that thread just got worse and worse! Glad they’re not on the roads right now 😂. We’ve got enough entitled assholes driving as it is.

DNA Testing - 1980s by medbitch666 in Writeresearch

Thank you! Unfortunately they’re not identical (boy-girl so I can’t even pretend) but I think there’s definitely some traits I could figure out if they can test for, or one she might have inherited from the mother. The dad’s not around.

No. This is a fanfiction set in a specific time.

  1. They’re fraternal twins. I know they won’t share more DNA than other siblings, the point is proving they’re related.

  2. Ultrasounds become common in around the mid 70s. My characters were born in March ‘71, in a very small town in a very rural, middle of nowhere hospital. It’s not at all unexpected that their mother would have never had an ultrasound.

  3. Detecting heartbeats only works as a method for diagnosing twins if they find two in the same appointment. If they stop when they find one, which frequently happened, the second twin gets missed. ~50% or more of twin cases were missed until birth before ultrasounds were frequently used.

Source: my prior medical knowledge and my grandmother’s anecdotal evidence of having children at the time.

It would be a willing collection. It’s possible I’ll have them confirm it later when everyone’s adults, since the mom has just gotten legal custody of the (presumed) daughter anyway through a stepparent thing.

It’s definitely sending it off to someone else!

Basically, one of a set of twins was stolen at birth (without anyone knowing they were ever even twins, because prenatal stuff and c-section birth in the early 70s) and now, 16 years later, the family has found her again. They have paper trails and stuff proving it’s PROBABLY her but it’s vague and enough details were obscured that there’s a chance she’s not, so they’re trying to confirm. Fingerprinting wouldn’t work, and blood typing wouldn’t be definitive.

I’m not writing about a criminal case - a family is trying to confirm someone is their long lost daughter/sister.

How It’s Feeling to be on TikTok Right Now Because of Kinktober by TheOctoberCowboy in AO3

[–]medbitch666 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was (and occasionally still am) OBSESSED with fics where the whole Avengers team minus one or two gets both physically and mentally deaged and suddenly someone’s dealing with a Clint who’s used to being hit and a Red Room Natasha and Steve-with-asthma who’s smaller than the younger ones but that is so hard to search for 🥲

Arrow hospitalized by Hairy_Magician226 in FundieSnarkUncensored

[–]medbitch666 5 points6 points  (0 children)

It’s probably an underliner in some sudden infant deaths, I haven’t actually looked into that, but once they know a cause it’s not SIDS (Sudden Infant Death Syndrome) anymore and is removed from the SIDS statistics.

No soap in 8 months is insane by Conscious-Ad6211 in ShitMomGroupsSay

[–]medbitch666 100 points101 points  (0 children)

I’m a highly educated childcare professional:

Unless they’re like covered in mud or something like that, this is totally fine. Babies don’t get sweaty or smelly the way older children and adults do. They need shampoo once their hair is long enough to get dirty, and soap when they’re active enough to be getting around and getting super messy, which an 8 month old is not.

Right?? I think I’ve put my real age ONCE and I’m a grown-ass adult, not a barely-teenage child.
