#tw: birth trauma
Note
So adding 'spontanously giving birth (painfully)' to the trauma bingo, wanna talk about it?
Alastor: Oh ho ho! That experience was painful! And completely unexpected! Let me tell you! To all of my fellow cannibals out there, don’t eat the flesh of pregnant angel! You might end up popping out a baby yourself!

Hows Husk recovering from having the triplets?
Husk: It was a harder than expected due to the complications (Star’s wing broke in utero and pierced through his womb and punctured some organs). If I wasn’t a sinner already…I might had died all over again. It’s been almost a year since then and while I’m still dealing with PTSD that happened during my pregnancy, I think I’m doing a lot better.

I would give up my immortal soul if it meant that journalists, publishers, writers, family, friends - just everybody - would stop with the whole trans person's chosen name followed by "formerly known as [unused or dead name]"

GET IT OUT OF ME.
GET IT THE F U C K OUT.
The banshee cries with dread.
In pain.
Rupture the link of sharing a body with a PARASITE.
FEASTING ON THE INSIDE.
A shrieking leech ripped open her canal. Tearing flesh separated portions in certain locations.
THEY'D BE ONE UNTIL REGENERATION.
A GAPING FUCKING HOLE.
She would scream in anguish as her own hands ripped at her pristine body. Tears contain poisonous acids and essential fluids.
Nobody was permitted to see her in such a state, including her beloved, who had placed this INSIDE OF HER.
SHE WANTED TO WRAP HER HANDS AROUND HIS THROAT AND STRANGLE HIM UNTIL HIS FACE WENT PURPLE.
CASTRATE THE DEVIL.
Growling, groaning upon the satin sheets as they were drenched in her disgusting grime. She experienced a sense of violation.
This was not beauty.
Beautiful life to be ripped from her as it wailed for the first time. Lungs full of breath, pleading for comfort.
Lilith could only conceal her face. Weeping will resonate across Hell's dominion. She curled into a fetal posture, similar to the wiggling newborn, and closed her eyes to catch her breath.
Sigil would emerge, her eyes glowing crimson as she debated devouring her infant. The crunch of exquisite tiny bones and the snap of the neck just cease the AWFUL NOISE.
No... No...Maintain your composure. This child was important to you.
Her hair is crimson, much more so than the liquid flowing forth between her legs. A remembrance of your past.
Soon, she would carefully prop herself up with twisted gestures to glance over her infant.
RAGE WILL CONSUME YOU.
The act of turning against oneself in order to protect the child. She would gradually separate her legs as they shook, making a powerful fist inside herself as her razor-sharp claws sank in to take control.
More cries followed as she moaned in misery. The fledging shrieked alongside her, determined never to remember such terror.
As the hand tugged lower, blood gushed out, covering everything. She would howl demonically and animalistically as she bared her teeth.
A moment of pause.
Let us not drown the kid in gore, even though it surged against her like floodgates. The spray soiled everything it came into contact with, even that small face that so closely resembled THAT FUCKER WHO IMPREGNATED HER.
As she wrenched the uterus away from its anatomy, she felt freedom in her palm. She would hold it aloft while a mild, dizzy feeling overtook her. One she had not felt in years since her back slammed cement on the Pentagram-painted ground.
Her snake-like eyes would look down upon fresh innocence, and she would snarl quietly... She stuffed her bits and pieces into her lips without hesitation. The meat was to be consumed mercilessly, as if a starving beast had not eaten in days, notwithstanding minor moans.
After such, she would be swallowed and linger down her throat. She would push her fingers back in to scratch and DIG INTO WHAT WAS LEFT.
I F E E L F U C K I N G R O T T E N
Least... She did not injure her baby, right?

Hey there! How’s your trip going? I have a question for you. What do you know about c-section procedures in the late 1800’s?
In my fanfic, my reader character is a doctor and I have an idea where she has to help a difficult baby delivery.
I was doing some research but someone closed all the windows I had open that I was reading. I know you bring a historical aspect to the fandom and I’m curious on your thoughts.
So, as you know by now, my trip is over. It went alright! It could have been so much worse. So, I actually studied pregnancy, childbirth and maternal and infant mortality extensively last year for the national park service. They wanted to know how to tell stories about the women who endured the process, so I'm a bit confident in my answer. C-Sections have actually been around since the Ancient Roman times, but were exceedingly rare to perform. They were seldomly used in the medieval times, but it almost always ended in the death of the mother, the baby or both. There were a few lucky instances in the 1700s of doctors able to perform the surgery successfully, but again, this was rare. It isn't until the late 19th century that C-sections were becoming more widely studied. However, your doctor oc will not be able to do a c-section. It is literally impossible at this point by "yourself" (meaning the reader.) C-sections were not the norm at this point because it was near guaranteed death for the mother. You only did it if you were fairly confident that the baby would survive and the mother gave her blessing - knowing she would die. The shock and blood loss were the main reasons if infection didn't take her later and too many doctors at the time did not know about hygienic practices. I have a doctor OC as well and he wouldn't be able to do it, either, so don't feel bad. Now, since this is fanfiction, you're of course free to do as you please, but your oc and my oc would not be able to perform a c-section. They would need advanced equipment and staff to assist as well as a reason to do so. By this I mean that not everyone was "allowed" a C-section. They were reserved for certain women. Strangely, it was mostly upper class women, but upper class women were also difficult in that if a doctor failed, there would be strong consequences. C-sections were not often taught in medical schools until late 1800s and even then, the uptake was slow because of the risks involved. By the early 1900s, this was becoming a more common practice. If your oc is a woman, she is not likely to receive this education. There were female doctors then, but the medical world was hesitant in educating women surgeons. (I have a pair of siblings, female and male that are doctors and that's something I've written about.) That doesn't mean she couldn't do it "back alley" style, though. So unless your OC has a team of doctors, lots of the latest tools and equipment and the advanced know-how, your OC is not going to be able to save the life of the mother and the baby. Perhaps the baby, but not both. I have sources if you'd like them, but it's heavy reading.

A great resource to share with grieving families, patients who want to inform themselves, or just as a general education tool when discussing healthcare.

Turns out I can't take any birth control with estrogen because I got a migraine with aura so bad I couldn't see out of my left eye. I don't want to take Depo anymore because of the side effects. I tried an IUD but the insertion was one of the most painful things I've ever felt and my body rejected it. I don't want to try Nexplanon because I don't want an implant that I can't remove myself (another reason that I don't want Depo anymore).
I'm not on birth control for that reason, I'm on it because I possibly have endometriosis. And when I talked to my OB about getting diagnosed, she basically hand-waved it away and mentioned that we can go forward assuming I have it but fighting with insurance is tough. That was about 6 months ago. The nurse I talked to last week looked at me like she was confused when I said that because she said there's no reason with all my symptoms that insurance should deny letting me have the procedure to diagnose it.
My next appointment isn't for over a month, but now I need to deal with all the other stuff they didn't tell me about, including all the horrendous side effects of coming off the Depo shot. Not once did they tell me that I could get violently nauseous, have more migraines than usual, have hot flashes, feel weak, mood swings, and more.
And on top of that, I don't know when my periods will start again. It could be over a year from now but it could be this month, or in 6 months. And I don't know if I'm mentally prepared enough to deal with that physical pain again. The whole reason I tried the Depo shot to begin with was because in June of 2022 I almost had a mental breakdown because I was in so much pain so I figured it was time to try something.
I don't know, I guess I'm just pissed at the fact that I was never told side effects, I'm basically out of options, and I just feel like this is going to be an uphill battle to get any kind of help at all.
Oh and to add to all of this, I also just found out that endometriosis doesn't even meet the requirements to be a "disability," despite the fact that if that is what I have, it's literally debilitating for me, not only when I don't have my period but in between those times as well.

I'm getting my copper IUD replaced tomorrow morning. I'm really scared of how much it's going to hurt to have the current one removed and a new one inserted.
For my current one, it was hell to get in.
My first appointment, they tried to force it through but couldn't, and the pain got too much for me.
My second appointment was just after my period, as that's supposed to make things easier. It didn't. The pain got too much for me.
My third appointment, I was prescribed cervix softeners to make the process easier. Even with this, they had to dilate my cervix manually to put it in. The pain was again too much, but I managed to hold it together while they inserted it.
And now it's time to replace it. Someone I know once removed their own IUD in an episode, and I really have no idea how they did it.
Anyway, here's hoping it's easier this time. I'm scared though.

It wasnt on purpose at all but my Mum sent me a pic that was taken right before I went in for my labor induction.
I posed for the camera, I clearly gave consent for the photo to be taken. But I have no memory of it. I didn't remember the clothes I wore either.
I've never had my child's birthday be a trigger before but seeing that photo brought everything back and makes me wonder what else I forgot from that day. i'm not mad at Mum at all because she wasn't doing anything wrong.
But its gonna be a long work day. I'm already disassociating pretty bad and its only 11am. I'm having a horrible time focusing on anything

Even though the music that fits her is like 90% Crystal Castles, Washing Machine Heart is such an Enojadita song mainly bc of the line “Why not me?”
Mainly bc she would probably say that as she laments about why she survived having her kids but Arcoíris didn’t

Obviously we know that the conditions in the under city are bad so what do you think it was like for Silco to give birth, especially when he had Viktor?
Some previous posts I did where I ramble about the births (warning for birth trauma):
Viktor 1
Viktor 2
Claggor & Mylo
Claggor
But yeah none of the births were a good time for Silco. With a lot of it being to do with the fact that they were difficult births that really should have been C-sections but weren't. And with Viktor specifically you have to add into the fact that it was like 20 years before the Main Plot (in a time where there's clearly massive technological advancements happening) and in this verse at that time they were poor even for Zaun.
Some more ramblings under the cut
Honestly if it wasn’t for the fact that how I have it is very much a situation where if there hadn’t been a midwife involved either Silco or Viktor would likely have died or Viktor would have lost his leg I would say there wasn’t a midwife even involved (and it instead just being a close omega relative). But I have it that way so... I think we can allow it (I hand wave it as they figured out the baby wasn’t shifting to head-down and decided a midwife was worth the money).
I will say that because he is always at home when he has them he’s around familiar scents and it means that there is a level of comfort that is gained from that. And at least during the earlier parts of labour he’s in his own place so has all his stuff as well to not get bored when he just kind of has to wait it out.
Overall though honestly he’s lucky to survive all three births (which you know does kind of go towards Vander’s joke that his mate is too stubborn to die).

I keep having these vivid memories (flashbacks?) to the night the twins were born. This happened a lot after they died, but then stopped for a while. It started again when I got pregnant but was only happening occasionally. In the last few weeks it has picked up and is now happening almost daily. It comes out of nowhere and it's like I'm physically transported back to that moment. Sometimes it's just a short clip, a few seconds of that night. Sometimes it's the full event start to finish. Either way it is really disturbing and happens anytime, anywhere.
I haven't told T because I don't want to talk about that night. I still haven't told her much about it nearly 2 years later. She knows high level, but not the details. I have been avoiding bringing it up because I don't want to talk about it. As this gets worse though I have to find a way to get it to stop. I'm also going to have to address this eventually anyway, and definitely before my daughter is born because L&D will probably be very triggering for me. So I emailed T this morning to give her a little insight to what's going on. I know that means she will bring it up tonight and my anxiety is elevated thinking about that. This whole being vulnerable and doing the work thing is hard.
