Trying to Get Pregnant

Anyone listen to Fresh Air on NPR?

Im listening to it now and Terry Gross is interviewing different people about rights of fetus' and pregnant women.

Some of this stuff amazes me. Like the first guest told of how a women who was in her 2nd tri fell down the stairs and went to the ER to make sure her baby was ok. A nurse interrogated her there and the woman admitted she had considered an abortion in the beginning but now she wanted to keep the baby and was very concerned. On her way home, she was stopped by the police and arrested for attempted fetuside. She was held in jail for two days and then let go. They said if she had been in her third tri they would have kept her for longer. What????

There were other examples like a woman at 25 weeks got deathly sick and someone raised a stink about it and after a hospital meeting the lady had to have a csection and the baby died two hours later and she died two days later. Some of this stuff is crazy!

The second guest is talking about abortion which just started.

    Don't worry, I'm working on it. 





  • I love just about everything on NPR, especially fresh air. I find it fascinating that she normally interviews over the phone! The NPR app is pretty resourceful for finding recently aired programs.

  • Raesofsunshine1 - I went back and made sure I listened.  This was such an eye-opening (and frightening) episode.  The example that really moved me was the lady who was forced to undergo a c-section at 25 weeks - she died two days later and the baby only lived two hours.   Just so tragic.
    I can't even imagine.  

    Thanks for the recommendation!

    Love Fresh Air (which I can't even type without saying "FrrrrrreeeeSH AIR!")

    I never get to hear it because Wisconsin Public Radio doesn't air it when I commute (boo) and I'm kind of glad I missed this one, because traffic raises my blood pressure enough as it is.

    ETA: Too political.  I had regret.

  • I thought it was going to be something that made me upset, but while some of the stories were really tragic, the whole topic really made me think. It got hubs and I talking, and it was a very enlightening conversation.
