I woke up at 1:30 out of a sound sleep. I had a feeling something was wrong. I checked the apartment and everything was okay. I managed to go back to sleep. I woke up around 5 and checked my e-mail as I usually do.

There was an e-mail from my Aunt. She said that her son’s baby had died. The mother had pre-eclampsia and gestational diabetes diagnosed at an appt last week. (This is in england, btw) the doctors decided to wait. (The only cure for pre-eclampsia is delivery of the child.) My Aunt received a phone call at 1:45 this morning saying they were going to the hospital. There was no heartbeat. The cause they say was placental abruption (oddly enough which can be caused by pre-eclampsia.)

If they had been in this country she would have delivered that baby last week. It was old enough to survive an early birth.

The heartbreaking thing about this is that she’s been in labor for hours. She’s still in labor. I cannot imagine what that is like.

No, I know what it’s like it’s fucking TORTURE.

Their goddamned healthcare system is a fucking joke and we have assholes over here who want our government to be in control of OUR healthcare.
