To Parents Of Children In Year 6 November 19th Year 6: Fill & Download for Free

(Trigger Warning : Picture of my baby’s face and of her urn)I have PCOS (Polycystic Ovarian Syndrom), which makes getting pregnant quite difficult because my menstrual cycle is a real roller coaster. Try to find your fertility window when you get your period after 3 months or when you get it for 2 weeks straight the time after.Then, after months of trying (which is very fast, considering my condition), I had a positive test on the 2nd of April. My pregnancy went super great all along. I had my 21 weeks ultrasound and the technician was super impressed with how much our baby moved and that I should prepare myself because I was gonna have a future dancer and wouldn’t be able to sleep much if it kept moving this much. Only downside was that one kidney was much smaller than the other, but my mother was born with that condition and is doing great. Then, 4 days later, I woke up at 6:30am from contractions.Amy was born two days later, on the 29th of July, at only 22 weeks. Unfortunately, there was nothing doctors could do to save her, she was too young, her organs not developped enough. We were warned as soon as I entered the hospital that babies this young don’t survive the birth and that the only chance she’d have at surviving would be to reach the 25 weeks line, but not to hold on too much hope of that happening. Even so, our perfect daughter, who weighted a little less than a pound, not only survived the birth but went on to live for 3 hours. We never heard her cry, never saw her eyes or seen her move, but she held on to my finger and to life long enough so we could say her “welcome” and “goodbye”, and shower her with all the love we had.Unfortunately, from lack of space, I was kept in the birthing section of the hospital. I didn’t leave the hospital until 2 days after giving birth, as I needed time with my daughter, even if she was dead, and also because I was at risk of hemorraging. I woke up the morning after to a baby crying and my first thought was “Is she okay?”, before realizing that it was not and it would never be my daughter.I think that I’m very lucky that my daughter lived. One of my boss lost a baby at 24 weeks and it only lived for 15min. I’m happy that I got to hold her for as long as I did (back in the days, they took the dead baby away and didn’t let the mother see it). I’m also glad that she lived a short but healthy life and died peacefully instead of living a long life with a profound disability (which might have happened if she was born at 25 weeks). I know it can sound mean to parents of children with disabilities, but I think that if you can’t live your life without someone else’s help (and I mean like trisomic children or children with big autism who aren’t functional), it is not a life. I don’t want my kids to be prisonners of their own body or mind. But that is my opinion and I know people with Down syndrom or autism and they are trully incredible.But even so, it doesn’t keep me from feeling like a part of me is missing. The hardest part is that I sometimes feel like she’s still there and that I feel her move. It’s a cruel trick of the mind that keeps reminding me. But I think the worse is knowing I didn’t do anything wrong, didn’t do anything to make the contractions start, but that my body just gave up when my daughter was all well. Doctors repeatedly told me it was not something I did, sometime the cervix just opens without anyone knowing why.We’re trying again. If anything, that experience made both my boyfriend and I want children even more. I was worried it would divide us but it got us closer than ever.We have a special place for Amy’s urn in our house and our children will know that they had a big sister Amy. We kiss her goodbye at night and we have a collar with her ashes inside. She is and will always be with us. We just wish we won’t get more kids to join her before we do.Her urn. Yes, it is a tree! The white container has the rest of her ashes insides. My boyfriend and I believe in Norse mythology, so he put a Valkyrie behind and Vegvisir to protect her in the afterlife. The urn also reminded us of Yggdrasil, the World Tree, and of the renewal of life/nature.Mama and Dada love you sweet AmyEDIT : Thank you sooo much for all the comments. It really warms my heart to see so much support from all of you! And all your stories, I wish all of you the best of luck in your own life.Also, thanks to people suggesting I put a trigger warning for the pictures. I tried changing the position of the pictures in the text so it wouldn’t appear in the feed, but it doesn’t seem to work. If anyone knows how, please tell me!EDIT 2 : Thanks for the people for clarifying to me how Quora works. I’ve put the picture of the urn first.EDIT 3 : It is November 4 and I’m meeting with an endocrinologist tomorrow to maybe get in a research project to improve fertility of women with PCOS! Fingers crossed!EDIT4 : We are March 19th of 2021. It’ll soon be 2 years since I got my positive pregnancy test and we are still trying to get pregnant. After a year and half of waiting, we have finally got under the charge of specialists. We are part of a fertility program research but are in the “witness group”, so we’re going directly to fertility treatment. I had my first insemination on the 2nd of March and am undergoing fertility treatments too. We also got confirmation that the problem comes from me and that my boyfriend is fine (at least we know the source!) Unfortunately, while I did get a positive result, it didn’t hold, so we’re going for our 2nd try! I am MUCH less desperate than I was during the last year and half to get pregnant, as we are now under the care of such caring specialists, and we are confident that we’ll get our bundle of joy soon enough. As a part of my grieving process, I also got my daughter’s footprint tattooed under my wrist. And I made sure to leave enough place for the future one’s too :)

'Was there any real-world basis for Monty Python's joke that poor children in late 19th century Britain would be sold off by their parents for medical experiments, as depicted in The Meaning of Life?'. A time of unprecedented transformation and upheaval, the 18th to 19th century British medical system was a transition period characterized by turmoil and confusion that lasted nearly a century. It thus offered ample opportunity for unsavory medical practices as well as salacious gossip about them. Could poor late 19th century British parents have sold off their children for medical experiments? To understand whether and how much this was even conceivable requires consideration of the circumstances surrounding the passage of Anatomy Act 1832 - Wikipedia by the British parliament.In short in early 19th century Britain,The medical establishment increasingly recognized medicine would improve with improved knowledge of human anatomy. This drove demand for dead bodies even as the existing law severely constrained their supply to those of hanged murderers alone.Body-snatchers stepped in to sate demand through a flourishing illegal trade in dead bodies.Even more enterprising criminals resorted to murders, 'burking', to supply dead bodies to the medical establishment.Sensational murders spurred the repeal of the previous Act and its replacement with one that enabled supply of legitimately procured bodies for medical dissections.However, decades-long linking of medical dissection with post-execution punishment lastingly marred this practice of the medical establishment in the public eye. While popular ditties and works by celebrated authors such as Robert Louis Stevenson - Wikipedia kept this association alive even into the late 19th century, Hollywood picked up the baton in the 20th with its many depictions of body-snatchers.The longer answer detailsThe state of access to dead bodies by the late 18th to early 19th century medical establishment.Long-lasting cultural impact of body-snatching and sensational murders to order to sate anatomist/surgeon demand for bodies for dissection.Anatomist/Surgeon Access to Dead Bodies in late 18th – early 19th Century BritainBy the 18th century, by practice and in law, three groups of medical practitioners existed in Britain, physicians, surgeons and apothecaries, with the three organized in a hierarchical structure topped by physicians (1).The 18th to 19th century marked the slow ascendance in class of surgeons with their breaking away from barbers (aka barber-surgeons) in 1745 by forming the Company of Surgeons, which later morphed into the Royal College of Surgeons of England - Wikipedia.The historically celebrated careers of William Hunter (anatomist) - Wikipedia and his brother John Hunter (surgeon) - Wikipedia exemplified this ascendence in stature of anatomists and surgeons. Anatomy and pathology thus emerged as key disciplines in 18th century British medicine.However, this soon created conflict since the 1752 Act for Better Preventing the Horrid Crime of Murder, Murder Act 1751 - Wikipedia, permitted only bodies of hanged murderers to be dissected. This made only few, mostly male, bodies available for anatomical study. For example, medical universities were allowed a quota of only 6 cadavers per year (2). No surprise then that with increased interest in anatomy and increased professionalization of surgeons, in short in response to increased demand, illegal trade in corpses by so-called resurrectionists soon began to flourish.As the Wikipedia article on Body snatching - Wikipedia shows,Classified as misdemeanor, not a felony, allowed body snatching to thrive in the early years of the 19th century.Measures to protect newly buried corpses spawned more creative efforts to steal them.Friends and relatives of the recently deceased took to keeping watch post-burial to prevent body-snatching.A framework of iron bars, Mortsafe - Wikipedia, were another attempt to prevent body snatching.Digging holes distant from newly dug graves and tunneling towards them was a response to steal bodies anyway.Though authorities tended to turn a blind eye to the increase in body snatching, public knowledge of the practice would come to light now and then leading to riots and widespread public unrest.Things proceeded fitfully in this manner for decades, However, every now and then sensational murders explicitly committed to produce a corpse for sale to apprentice surgeons enlivened the process. For example, in 1752, Jean Waldie and Helen Torrance procured a poor child for the express purpose of selling his body to apprentice surgeons in Edinburgh, Scotland. While his parents were away, they lured nine year old John Dallas, plied him with ale and killed him by suffocation. By all accounts, not being any too bright, the two women were caught in no time, tried, found guilty and hanged in the Grassmarket in Edinburgh on 18 March, 1752 (see below from 3).'The March 18 hanging in Edinburgh of Helen Torrence and Jean Waldie appears to be the first known execution for an anatomy murder.In the bad old days when dissection subjects were so hard to come by that medical students were known to snatch fresh bodies from the grave like Dr. Frankenstein, the Scots Magazine reported that the two women “frequently promised two or three surgeon-apprentices to procure them a subject” in exchange for a small fee. That fee really was quite small: two shillings, and a few extra pence they haggled for, not at all a favorable rate to sell one’s soul and maybe little more than enough to cover their costs.Torrence and Waldie were supposed to obtain the subject while sitting on a ceremonial death watch with a dead child, but having no such deceased moppet to hand and really needing a couple of shillings, the ladies went the far more perilous route of snatching a real live eight-year-old while his parents were away. They plied little John Dallas with ale and suffocated his breath away, and Torrence even schlepped the cadaver to the apprentice surgeons in her own apron for an added tip.'Meantime, as surgeons/anatomists ascended in prominence during this period, post-mortem dissections of executed murderers by trainee surgeons yielded a corrosive cultural aftermath since it imprinted a penal purpose, the post-execution punishment of a criminal, on the minds of the public onto what should otherwise have been an unremarkable educational one. Anatomists and surgeons thus launched a years-long lobbying effort to separate their dissections from criminal punishment and executions (4).Things reached a boil in 1828 with the Burke and Hare murders - Wikipedia. William Burke and William Hare hit upon the brilliant idea of doing away with 'nobodies', the elderly poor and prostitutes found in plenty in the Edinburgh of those days so they could sell their corpses to the famous anatomist, Robert Knox - Wikipedia who was known to pay well for bodies, using them in his dissection lectures at the medical college.Wikipedia lists 16 Burke and Hare murders over ~10 months in 1828 but who knows how many there were in actuality (5)?The Burke and Hare murders inspired a gang in London called London Burkers - Wikipedia to emulate them. They too soused potential victims with laudanum-laced liquor and then suffocated them to generate corpses for sale to apprentice physicians.The sensational Burke and Hare murders were a tipping point and pressured the British Parliament to enact the Anatomy Act 1832 - Wikipedia. Its preamble itself attests to the potent influence that crimes, specifically murders, must have played in the procurement of bodies for the purpose of dissection related to medical learning in those days in Britain (see below from 6),'Whereas a Knowledge of the Causes and Nature of Sundry Diseases which affect the Body...cannot be acquired without the aid of Anatomical Examination: And whereas the Legal Supply of Human Bodies for such Anatomical Examination is insufficient fully to provide the Means of such Knowledge: And whereas, in order further to supply Human Bodies for such Purposes, divers great and grievous Crimes have been committed, and lately Murder, for the single Object of selling for such Purpose the Bodies of the Persons so murdered: ...be it therefore enacted ...”The chief elements of this Act provisioned greater legitimate access to dead bodies, to wit (see below from 6),'(1) that, if any person direct, either in his will, or verbally in the presence of at least two witnesses, that his body be given to a school of anatomy, the body shall be so disposed of, unless objection be made by a relative; (2) a person having "legal possession" of a body may deliver it for dissection, provided the deceased has never been known to have expressed a desire to the contrary, and provided no objection be raised by a relative; (3) that, to put it shortly, dissection is legal if certain rules are complied with (such as proper death certification, making returns to the Inspectors of Anatomy, etc.); (4) that the part of the criminal code, enacting that the bodies of executed murderers be dissected, is repealed.'Long-lasting Cultural Impact of Body-Snatching & the Burke & Hare MurdersHowever, we can surmise that the Burke and Hare murders made a lasting impact on the culture and population of that time and even beyond by the fact that the slang 'burking' entered the English language to denote murdering to order (7). Thus, criminality and murders still remained culturally intertwined with medical dissections.A Scottish ditty from those times survives,'Up the close and down the stair,In the house with Burke and Hare,Burke's the butcher, Hare's the thief,Knox the man who buys the beef.Burke and Hare they were a pair,Killed a wife and didnae care.Then they put her in a box,and sent her off to Doctor Knox.Burkes the Butcher,Hares the thief,Knox’s the yin that buys the beef!'A sign that the lurid criminality surrounding body-snatching remained well and alive even decades later, the short story, The Body Snatcher - Wikipedia by Robert Louis Stevenson - Wikipedia was published in December 1884.In the 20th century, Hollywood kept such myths alive with its many movies about body-snatchers.We can also surmise how long-lasting this impact may have been given that 'burking' even entered Indian English where it is still used though with a somewhat different meaning, specifically to denote deliberate skewing of crime statistics by under-registering criminal complaints (FIRs, First Information Report - Wikipedia) (8).Thus, consideration of the circumstances that shaped the evolution of the practice of medicine in 19th century Britain suggests plenty of opportunity for lurid urban legends such as poor late 19th century British parents selling off their children for medical experiments to take firm root.In a sign that such tendencies exist even today, in 2010, a New Zealand miniature collector, Don C. Shelton, published a controversial theory about how the Hunter brothers procured corpses for dissection, specifically corpses of pregnant women. Shelton argues they either commissioned the murder of said corpses or were entirely uninterested in how they were brought to them. Shelton asserts that this is how they managed to obtain the anatomical features of the human gravid uterus, William Hunter's most celebrated work showing the features of almost full-term human fetuses in the human gravid uterus drawn by Jan van Rymsdyk - Wikipedia in exquisite anatomical detail (9, 10).Bibliography1.

Do people that are born in the same place at the same time have the exact same birth chart in astrology?What your question is referring to is called “time-twins”. They may not be related by blood, but since they were born the same place at the same time, they get the same birth charts. Time-twins are very interesting, because they can give us a glimpse of how powerful astrology actually is - or isn’t.Below a list of time-twins:James Joyce (James Joyce - Wikipedia) and James Stephens (James Stephens (author) - Wikipedia) were born February 2nd 1882 at 6:00 o’clock - but James Stephens’ birth date is disputed. Their appearances were very similar, and they both excelled in linguistic intelligence. James Joyce became a celebrated author with his novel “Ulysses”. James Stephens was a novelist and a poet.Joyce Ritter and Jean Henderson lived in White Plains, New York but in two different families. They were born in the same maternity hospital within 5 minutes, and as they grew, they looked more and more alike - parents and teachers could not set them apart - as if they were identical twins. They had identical preferences and view points on many issues. Both came from families with 5 children, and their fathers had the same kind of jobs in an airport nearby.King George III (George III of the United Kingdom - Wikipedia) and Samuel Hemmings were both born on June 4th 1738. Their appearances were similar, and their fates had many events in common - although their social level differed. Samuel Hemmings started his hardware store business the same date King George III was crowned. Both were married on September 8th 1761. They got the same number of children - and with the same genders. They got sick and experienced an accident on the same date. Both died January 29th 1820. In both cases there was uncertainty regarding the cause of death.Benjamin Gigli (Beniamino Gigli - Wikipedia) and Lauritz Melchior (Lauritz Melchior - Wikipedia) were both born March 20th 1890. Lauritz Melchior was born in Copenhagen, while Benjamin Gigli was born in Recanati in Italy. Both became celebrated opera singers and tenors.Albert Einstein (Albert Einstein - Wikipedia) and Otto Hahn (Otto Hahn - Wikipedia) were both born on March 14th 1879. Both became celebrated scientists. Albert Einstein got the Nobel Price in physics in 1921. Otto Hahn got the Nobel Price in chemistry in 1944.William Edward Hickman (Murder of Marion Parker - Wikipedia) and Myles Fukanaiga (you can look him up in AstroDataBank) were both murderers, who kidnapped and killed children. They were both born on February 1st 1908, but William Edward Hickman was born in Arkansas, while Myles Fukanaiga was born in Hawaii. William Edward Hickman abducted and killed a 12 year old girl, while Myles Fukanaiga abducted and killed a 10 year old boy. Both were executed; Myles Fukanaiga were hanged November 19th 1929 in Honolulu, while William Edward Hickman were executed October 19th 1928 in San Quentin Prison near San Francisco.
