Well I got over it by watching my partner give birth to a 4.6 kg baby. The anaesthesiologist managed to nick her spinal artery with the epidural and she lost about half a pint of blood while being in active labour she managed to get the baby out in a couple of hours largely without pain relief because the epidural didn't find it's mark. She did great, but it was very traumatic for everyone involved.
Edit: also I have plenty of children. I really don't need more ๐
Missing quite the point of the entire post, which is that I want to experience it. I already told I know of the risks.
But hey, thanks for invalidating!
No I get it. I would have happily birthed them. But you know with 3d bioprinting it may be possible at some point in the future. I'm already passed the point where I would consider getting pregnant if I were a cis woman. But if you're 28 you've got at least 10 years. Cis women have gotten pregnant using transplanted uteruses.
Here you go
I also came across a video of a research group that was bioprinting ovaries.
I'm not saying that they will be doing human trials any time soon, but there is a slim possibility.
Me too. I'm sorry for lashing out but yeah.
Yep, the uterus transplants are giving me hope. And also the bioprinting -- though whether that will work with the complex tissues like uterine lining and so on, I'm unsure. But still!
Sorry for the flippant response. I should have thought about how it would come across.
