Natural labour would never have been an issue. The baby wasn’t in the uterus so it wouldn’t grow, labour would never even start.

Reply to comment by _Haverford_ in TIL that Chinese Food was introduced into America during the California Gold Rush, starting in 1848. As 30,000 immigrants had arrived from the Canton region of China, the restaurants gave the predominantly male population a connection to home and provided gathering places for the Chinese community. by jdward01
Nothing! For 6 mos. I thought Chifa meant Chinese food. Then a owner told us the story and history. I was amazed, I honestly couldn't tell the difference. Maybe nowadays they can get a larger amount of ingredients. Maybe if we had eaten Chifa 100 years ago we could notice.

Yup. Lived in CO for 5 years. The Rockies are special too for various reasons but I prefer the Appalachians for everything else besides skiing.

Much cooler. The heat of vaporization of water is 5.4x the calories to take the water from 0 C to 100 C. It's even a good multiple of the enthalpy of fusion. Most of the water would freeze if it stays in one place. I think it'd be roughly -50 C, based on some videos I looked up about vacuum chambers.

>You cant "abort" something that doesnt even have a chance to start.
Tell that to the legislators in certain states. They are uninformed about things like this and often do not distinguish between valid pregnancies and ones that are life threatening to the mother and would never result in a valid pregnancy. Or things like empty sac which often used medicine to expel it (which uses the combination of medications that are being challenged legally, including one case in Texas that is attempting to remove the FDA's ruling on one of them).
For instance:

Jesus Christ I'm glad I didn't know any of this ahead of my first ultrasounds
Edit: I also wonder if molar pregnancy is what happened to queen Mary.

The egg is only the mother's genes, the placenta is a combination of mother and father genes, i.e. the child.

probably one of the most evolutionarily sucessful organisms on the planet. Or atleast high on the list considering that its practically universal in large parts of the tree of life .

Yep. I'm A- and my husband is A+. Thankfully, rhogam exists! Both my daughters are A+, so they won't need it if they choose to conceive.

In this case it was a leaking cooling tube leaking the water used as a coolant.

To the extent that it grows from resources provided by the mother’s body, sure. But the coded instructions, so to speak, for growing the placenta, come from the fetus.

Reply to comment by KittenPics in TIL that Barq's Root Beer was first created by Edward Barq in Biloxi, Miss, in 1897. In 1934, Barq and a former employee, who moved to New Orleans, agreed to each distribute their own version of the root beer, with the New Orleans version having a red label and the Biloxi version having a blue one. by jdward01
A chart that explains vowels? I'm sure you could use a search engine to have a vowel explained. They are a required part of many languages that use this alphabet.

Its not an abortion to get rid of ectopic (completely not viable in any way) pregnancies. Mayo clinic and the vast majority of doctors agree. Thankfully only 1-2% of pregnancies end up that way; in an ideal world it obviously wouldnt.
You cant "abort" something that doesnt even have a chance to start. I have gone through two different ectopic pregnancies with my SO.
