Well, other bands know more than three chords. Your professional bands can play up to six, sometimes seven, completely different chords.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

One problem out of, what 18 pregnancies? That seems like pretty good odds.

I'd like to see the stats about the possible increases in chances of a subsequent problem pregnancy. Of course, it depends entirely on what happened with the first problem pregnancy. I had a cousin whose cervix pretty much shredded with her first successful pregnancy (they tried sewing it shut, but it tore back open so she was on hospital bed rest for a couple months), and then she got pregnant again after giving birth very early, knowing there was no way she could even go near that far to term again.

Reading that made me wince and huddle in on myself, and I don't even possess the body part involved!

Mrs. Duggar was hospitalized for gallstones at the time of the premature delivery of this child. Surgery on the gall bladder (sometimes necessary) is a risk for premature labor. I really doubt that the Duggars' choice to have a lot of kids was "responsible" for the premature birth of this one; it doesn't even look as though you can "blame" her advanced age (unless gallstones are associated with age, which I dunno).

Always Anti-fascist!

Good to know, ita. The Duggars have been very fortunate so far...giving birth is not to be taken lightly... sounds like ita's cousin might have a similar problem to what my mom had, but I did not read the highlight-font(she found out when my birth took an ugly turn.)

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

See? I gave everybody here an opportunity to tell me what a bad person I am and nobody did, because I fuckin' rule.

This is the first severe premie, but it's her third C-section - three out of her last four births.

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.

Have you seen today's xkcd Jess? It made me think of you.
