“Pulling Down His Socks”: 30 Most Terrifying Things Nurses Have Witnessed On The Job

Because of people making us think our normal body odor is disgusting. When in fact it is not. Our smell does not stink if we are taking care of our hygiene like we should. We are made to think perfume and deodorant are normal and natural. When in fact it is not. It's actually frustrating and sad how we are made to think so badly of our bodies and our own natural smell. Be it hair or our aroma is what I like to call it. There is nothing abnormal or bad about it.

A few middle school jokes about "fishy" smell is all it takes.

Literally one of only two body parts that is self cleaning, the other being the eyes.

Only 2 things smell like fish & 1 of them is fish.

This is why freedom of choice is so important. You don't have to agree with it and you also don't ever have to choose a fetus over your own life. I can totally understand and comprehend why she did it. She could have very well died regardless and it is not for me or you to judge her or anyone else when it comes to the choices they make with their own bodies. Be it abortion or this woman making the choice to do what she did. When it comes to these situations and choices, it's not really for you, me, or anyone else to understand or comprehend to be honest. It has absolutely nothing to do with us. That is what I understand completely. I just wish more people did.

I totally understand. Her time was limited. She brought a precious baby girl into the world that will be loved by the people who loved her. Her husband is not alone after her passing. That was the choice her and her husband made.

Cancer was stage 4. Mom had low chance of surviving 5 years. She chose to leave something of herself behind instead of spending years in and out of the hospital.

I can understand why she chose to continue her pregnancy. She was not the only person who had spent 10 years trying for a baby, her husband had too. This incredibly strong woman chose to gift her husband with the child they both wanted and gift her only child with the Dad she wanted to raise her child. She did it out of love and selflessness. This was her choice. Many, many children grow up without a Mum, for a multitude of reasons, and turn out to be brilliant people in their own right. Dads can absolutely raise children without a Mum and do it beautifully. Please don't lessen this Mum's love for her child and husband.

If she was stage 4 already, she likely didn't have a good chance at surviving the cancer with or without treatment. Treatment, in those situations, often just lengthens life by a year or so (depending on many factors) rather than achieving remission. If that was the case, it makes a lot of sense why she CHOSE to do something she had always wanted to do with the little time she had left.

It is not important for you to understand. You only need to be compassionate, and thank God every day it's hopefully never a decision you'll have to make. How blessed are you to be in a position to judge. That alone should be humbling.

She had stage 4 ovarian cancer. She was very likely to die anyway. It seems far more selfish, to me, to abort the baby that she had her husband had tried so hard for, just to live another month or two. I am pro-choice, and completely understand the choice that she made.

Ovarian cancer is terminal. Aggressive treatment would have only given her additional months to live. Not saved her life. She was going to die anyway she clearly knew that.

It's instinctual.

I guess it's a rudiment from the time when the continued existence of the family / tribe was not taken for granted.

And the child has to grow up with guilt/grief over someone they never knew, not to mention wondering what it would be like to have their mom. But I think in this case since she would've died anyway it was a fair choice.

Stage 4. Her possibilitties and expected lifetime were already very low

Normally, I'd agree with you, but stage 4 ovarian cancer means it's already spread to the bones, liver, and/or lungs. Even with aggressive treatment, only about 30% survive for 5 years. And they wouldn't have been good years, but instead spent in treatments and pain. In other words, she was a dead woman walking, but she was able to give her husband their child.

I would totally choose my unborn baby's life over mine. Why would I want to keep going with life when I can give it for someone i love?

As someone who has always wanted a child and feels like I may never have one, I can say I would choose the same thing. Imagine you have one huge dream for your life, something you've dreamt of since you were 5 years old. Your options are: choose to continue your life knowing that you could have fullfilled that dream and now you never will or; you can feel that you've achieved something important and be fullfilled before you pass away.

She knew her chances were slim to none probably to recover. She had 3 weeks with the baby she and her husband wanted for 10 years.

known people in that situation… I’ve asked both. the mum’s have both said they’ve thought it through a million different ways but in the end, having a baby was what BOTH THEY AND THEIR PARTNERS WANTED and they wanted them to have something to remember them by because they knew they had a death sentence… 😢

I absolutely agree with that and I canceled out a downvote pressumably by some pro-life a$$hat.

Stage 4 ovarian cancer is a b***h to cure; she'd very possibly have died anyway

I was diagnosed with a rare ovarian cancer at 22 weeks pregnant with my daughter. I did the surgery to remove that ovary because we'd have both died without it. I tried to avoid the chemo until after she'd be born, but my doctors were really adamant about doing that because I already had "one child living (5yr old) and they were pretty sure they could get her to term or close enough. It was a really aggressive tumor but that type doesn't metastasize as easily as the other types if it's treated aggressively in turn. When I did my chemo I got so much hate for putting my baby in danger it was unreal. People asked me how could I do that? How could I be so selfish? See, it doesn't matter which way a mother chooses for herself. There's always people to second guess and decide she's wrong. I have no right to judge her decision. (My daughter just turned 26 this year she was born at 35 weeks)

When you have tried 10y for a baby you can come and lecture everyone!

Well then thank god it's not your choice. But a stage 4 cancer has not much chance to be healed. The woman most possibly would've gone out anyways, and they were trying for a baby for 10 years, it was her last chance to become a mother and she took it. We are nobody to judge her. Just like you wouldn't like to be judged for your decisions, others don't want to be judged either. Your are not her. You don't feel the same feelings, you don't have the same personality, mentality, or chemistry that is responsible for the feelings she had in that position. Even if you would be in that position probably would have your own unique feelings and thoughts about it that would make you choose for yourself what to do. Our decisions are largely affected by emotions. Just stop judging, seriously. Edit: grammar error

That baby has its whole life ahead of it. She probably would have been dead within a year (maybe 2) even with aggressive treatment.

I would do the same. No one gets to tell me I have to sacrifice my baby to live, not even my husband.

I agree with you. On the other hand, during pregnancy, very few things are rational...

I generally agree but in this postung, chance if survival of mom was less than chance of birth. You do what is best for either, weighing all factors.

I agree completely.

Hi! Sometimes it could be religious views. In Islam, if the pregnancy has some danger for the baby and/or mum, they are allowed to get an abortion. However, if it is unwanted, you cannot get an abortion. If the danger is after 4 months of the pregnancy, abortion is not allowed

There's no guarantee it will survive or even be viable. Human females are sadly seen as expendable in most parts of the world.

I agree.

Not just that but the kid will have tremendous survivor's guilt and they can always try for another one.

Stage 4!! Hello! Do some research.

That mother is a hero, and had a normal protective response, not like you and so many other cold hearted sociopaths who view a precious little human as mere garbage. The fact they're under 9 months alive is immaterial. You have my full amount of contempt and disgust.

I get it, but some people believe the morally correct option is prioritizing the fully sentient adult over the barely sentient child's. There's many different opinions, which is why everyone should make their own choice.
