Wasn't pregnancy magical and natural and aNcEsTrAl and not at all a medical event?
She really should go to the doctor and listen to them but she won't.

I gasped out loud reading this story post.Wasn't pregnancy magical and natural and aNcEsTrAl and not at all a medical event?

I find this all super reckless and very worrying. I am sure they wanted to do a vaginal exam to check the cervix to see if she was dilating, which seems a reasonable and prudent thing to do given her symptoms and before flying. Now she is having cramping and period-like pains? Yikes. Doesn’t seem like that is something one should ignore. It does seem like she is not dealing with reality and is doubling down on her ‘wild pregnancy’ narrative and experience that she wants. I hope this latest episode is nothing and she can complete her pregnancy safely.When she went to the doctor before flying she said they want to do a vaginal excam but she refused because there is no reason for it. But couldn't it be possible that the doctor wanted to check if the zervix is still closed because if it is not it is a sign for early labour? Why refusing this and risking getting in labour on a plane? All her things she describes sound like the baby is coming early but she refuses to listen. It is bad enough that Rachel acts so reckless but what is with the rest of her family? Are they all on board with this?

What skipping out on sunscreen looks like living on a tropical island in your early 30's.
I disagree with Rachel’s extremist attitudes, but cervical checks aren’t great predictors of how close labour is or how fast it will be. I had no cervical checks at all with my last pregnancy, including in labour (I am in Australia and birthed at a birth centre within the best maternity hospital in my state, certainly not woo woo).When she went to the doctor before flying she said they want to do a vaginal excam but she refused because there is no reason for it.
