Having a Miscarriage in Texas in 2021: What it's REALLY like. MY STORY.
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 16 окт 2024
- This video is important to me and to all the women living in Texas who have gone through a traumatic experience like I did. This video is NOT trying to get into a debate of pro life vs pro choice but is to show how laws like the ones recently passed effect ALL women no matter where you stand on the matter. This is me telling my story in hopes of shedding light of how even women who miscarry are affected. NO woman, no matter what circumstance, background, choices they need to make should have to beg for medical care. I have so much else to say on the matter, but hopefully I've said enough in this video to have a real and honest conversation about laws that affect women greatly.
For anyone who has had a miscarriage or is going through one right now, YOU ARE NOT ALONE. Having a miscarriage is a very personal, difficult, and lonely experience to go through, so I hope this video brings even the tiniest bit of support knowing that other women share your pain with you. I'm sending you SO much love, support, and the biggest hugs possible. XOXO Marlena

This was not awkward to watch at all. It’s an honor to hear your experience. You have helped so many by doing so.
You are so gullible. Do some research.
You need to take this story straight to congress. As much as you don’t want to make this a political issue IT IS A POLITICAL ISSUE and it 1 million percent shouldn’t be. F off to Texas lawmakers and their barbaric treatment of women. Bless your heart Marlena. I am devastated for you.
I agree!!
100%
This. This encroachment on womens body's & stripping of our rights is unacceptable. America, please make your outrage known to your political representatives. Sending ❤️ from the UK Marlena, & sisterly solidarity to all 💪🏾
Totally agree
@@voxfugit actually, there currently is a House Bill, the H.R.3755 - Women's Health Protection Act of 2021, that needs to be passed by the House so the Senate can vote. This is a federal issue, that could make Roe v Wade irrevocable. The act would protect a person’s ability to determine whether to continue or end a pregnancy, and to protect a health care provider’s ability to provide abortion services. Also, the house is trying to also revoke the Hyde Amendment, so anyone regardless of economic status can have complete control of their reproductive health and future.
So yes, this is currently happening in Texas, but there are many other states which have been imprisoning women for decades for merely having miscarriages, and there are dozens wanting to pass similar laws as Texas. The only way to stop them all is with this federal protection.
So please call your congressperson and demand they vote to pass H.R.3755 the Women's Health Protection Act of 2021.
Thank you for sharing your story Marlena

Most of the more severe illnesses happen to people by surprise, unexpectantly, impacting first in the brain, then in the corresponding organ which that part of the brain controls. The end of WWI had absolutely everything to do with the Flu and lung TB outbreak that occurred killing millions. In nature, the biological conflict linked with a territorial fear (just what it means-a fear in your territory, your home, your community, etc.) is a widening of the bronchia (tissue loss). Your body attempts to widen your bronchia in order to allow more air into your lungs to give you more strength and energy to fight to keep your territory safe. Stay with me.......The biological conflict linked with a death fright impacts the lungs. The lungs attempt to grow larger in order to allow more air in because breath equals life, as we all know. No breath equals death.
While you are in the fear or death fright conflict, you notice no symptoms of “disease”, except you have cold hands, cold feet, you can’t sleep, you awaken at 3 AM every night, you have little appetite. During the WW1, millions of people were in fear of the bombing of their homes and cities where the war was most active. Fearing for their lives, their loved ones in the war, their ability to survive. The food in the stores was sparse due to shortages. This lasted for 4 long years! The longer the conflict, the worse the healing phase. Within 2 weeks of the German Chancellor announcing the end of WWI, these millions of people ALL went into the healing phase all at the same time. It is during the healing phase that you experience symptoms of illness! What is the healing phase of the bronchia widening? Severe bronchitis, pneumonia. The body attempts to refill this lost tissue and you experience inflammation, fever, coughing, body aches, fatigue, etc. What is the healing phase of the extra lung tissue that grew? Decomposing of the tissue by TB bacteria and fungi. The symptoms of this healing phase are: severe coughing up of blood and tissue, fever, inflammation, severe mucous, body aches, fatigue. During this decomposing of the extra tissue (tumor), the body expels a lot of protein, and without replenishment, severe protein loss can result in death. Antibiotics did not exist yet. If TB bacteria does not exist in a person or they have been vaccinated against TB (big mistake), then the tumor will simply encapsulate and become dormant and not harm you. Who died during the Spanish Flu? Mainly the poor who could not afford to buy meat and proper nourishment, and the people who were directly impacted by the bombings and destruction of their homes.
Millions of people suffered fear and death frights during the fighting of WWI, and millions of people all went into healing at the end of it. Not everyone was affected because not everyone suffered the same way.
It’s not a “flu”, it’s not something you “catch”. You do not “catch” disease from others. A lie told for 100 years never becomes the truth. It’s biological, meaningful, and unavoidable. One hundred years later, a Fear Campaign begins, using the media to spread it......
@@MarlenaStell so sorry girl
@@AgendaInMind yeah
@@AgendaInMind Sorry to tell you this but we're in the year 2021. Sounds as if you either don't know or understand that.
Thanks for sharing your story. I currently live in TX. I figured the law was going to have a negative effect, but had no idea this is how the new law affected women who have a miscarriage. I would be considered high risk now and I’m terrified to get pregnant here.
Sending you lots of love as you navigate through all of this to make whatever decisions you need for you and your family. Sending you so much love ❤️
same even if I wanted to get pregnant I would have to be willing to risk my health and possible death. I feel this new law will prevent a lot of women from getting pregnant even if they wanted to.
@@sashapalma2033right
Ladies, I live in Texas… I could not stop crying this entire video… I beg you. Come November please remember what’s on the line for us. This was so so heartbreaking because EVERY WOMAN COULD GO THROUGH SOMETHING SIMILAR. Sending all my love to you and all women who are or have been in this horrific situation. 💔
Exactly all of this. So many women now going through horrifying things with their losses
I'm so deeply sorry. No body should have to go through these extra layers of trauma and pain in order to receive a MEDICALLY NECESSARY procedure.
Exactly 🙏🏼❤️
Nobody should have to worry about going across the state border and coming back as a criminal for a medically necessary procedure either but that's Texas for you
So True 👍🏻 My ❤️ goes out to you Marlena Sending hugs.

@@AgendaInMind Let me tell you again. WE. ARE. IN. THE. YEAR. 2021 almost 2022. Go away!
Marlena, as a fellow Texan, I appreciate you sharing this sensitive experience. As a mother who has endured multiple miscarriages, my heart goes out to you and your family. Please, take this to local media. For those who feel like they want to help women in Texas, like, post to social and ask friends to share.
I agree. If she feels comfortable to. I feel for her when she talks about how men who never been pregnant have say in how she gets treatment.
And please send the names of these heartless doctors who refused to give you perfectly legal care for a miscarriage to the state board. That is unacceptable. Neither the Texas law, nor the SCOTUS decision bans treatment for miscarriage.
@@Irishrainy you’re upset because of HOW I FELT about Marlena’s story? Seriously? Because that’s what I was doing. I hate to tell you, but if you commit MURDER (and I’m pretty sure murder falls under felony) and ARE CONVICTED, you can’t serve as a JUROR. A jurist is something different. So before you comment something, do your research. 🤦🏻♀️🤦🏻♀️ Don’t believe me. Research it yourself. Have a nice day.
@@Irishrainy I understand that, it is being put forward that she couldn't get care because of the Texas law and the SCOTUS decision. My only point was that it's not true and if you want to blame someone, blame the drs.
That is disgusting that you or anyone doesn't have the medical freedom to take care of their body as they see fit. I am truly sorry you had to deal with that at all. Sending you so much love ❤
Thank you ❤️
Exactly. I get it that some people are against abortion because the fetus should be treated as a human, and as a human, their well-being should be considered as such. However, at what point does the fetal well-being become more important than the mother’s, especially if the baby has already passed or will not survive past birth? What if a 13 year old is abused and gets pregnant and is forced to carry to term? I’m sorry. I know she said not to get into pro-life vs pro-choice, but it’s hard not to when it is all lumped in together.
@@SoulShiner1115 can you clearly not listen? Marlena said don’t debate pro life or pro choice in her comments my gosh 🤦🏾♀️
@@SoulShiner1115 why are you here? She specifically asked this not be about pro-choice or anti abortion. Please respect this woman's request
Marlena - this story is going to enlighten so many people's perspectives, and as a result it's going to change the world and save lives. Thank you so much for sharing this deeply personal story. You're so brave.
I’m so angry for you…I’ve had to deal with multiple miscarriages and this story is the exact reason why my heart and soul cried when this horrific law was passed. Your trauma was magnified beyond anything any woman should be left to endure. My heart is with you, and thank you for bravely sharing to show how laws made by men impact all of us.
It is terrible what she went through, but I Can't help wonder, were you upset when a court of only men decided that abortion was hidden in the constitution?
@@maryc8552 you must be referring to the Courts decision under the Nixon admin that US citizens have the right to personal privacy. Supporting that the government cannot make any law that forces another human to relinquish their right to personal privacy and self determination. That same decision validated other vital laws, for example, another person can’t force someone else to donate an organ (even if that other person is dead) to save the life of another. You also must of forgotten that this ruling has been upheld for nearly 50 years and even later further upheld in The Casey case, when Sandra Day O’Conner was on the court and held this same position. Please don’t try to turn this into something it’s not.
@@nikabeautyqueensbag6725 Oh I know exactly what it is. Abortion was a made up "right" from the beginning. Even Justice Ginsberg said the reasoning was flawed and it would have been better to do it in steps under equal treatment rather than equal privacy.
The point here is that people are trying to say that because of Texas' abortion bill, women Can't get D & C's after miscarriage. I am so sorry for what happened to this lady but it is the doctors who were at fault. The law didn't cause this.
@@Irishrainy no I’m actually against the federal government mandating even an FDA approved vaccine for all citizens. I am pro citizens caring about the health and safety of your fellow neighbors, co workers and family…if you don’t want the vaccine then take precautions to not expose others to a deadly virus. Thank goodness the US Federal Government never MANDATED all citizens get a vaccine, your body, your choice…👍
If your solution to this “problem” is that we mass murder innocent human beings you are more than evil. Anyone with a working brain knows that removing an already dead human being from the womb is not the same as KILLING one and removing it.
Please anyone that lives in Texas share this video. I've lived here all my life 47 years and proud to be a Texan but this is absolutely inhumane. So many people probably are unaware of this new law unless it has affected you. Please DONT STOP WITH THUS VIDEO GET YOUR STORY TO ANY NEWS CHANNEL TO THE PRESIDENT. YOU ARE STRONG AND I SEE YOU MAKING A CHANGE ON THIS . DONT STOP TRYING UNTIL ITS CHANGED OR GONE.
I live in TX as well, and I love it here. I think SB8 is absolute bullshit. I’m shocked that upon her first ultrasound that showed a blighted ovum, that wasn’t enough to confirm the pregnancy was no longer viable and that an option for a D&C wasn’t immediately available to her. Absolutely ridiculous.
Kudos for talking about this legalized violence against women, thank you, Marlena! As if the experience of losing baby is not hard enough. I'm so sorry that you had to go through that horror. It's 2021 and medical system is not safe for women.
@@QueenJme Miscarriage, you understand the meaning of the word, right? Let's begin with understanding the human body first and than we can discuss and debate. Please, use your mental power to understand what you hear.
@@QueenJme - Why are you being rude on her video?
@@santisanti8386 exactly … so ridiculous .
@@QueenJme she specifically asked for people not to get into a debate on this video. Literally her only request.
She's grieving; try to be kind and show some compassion.
@@QueenJme she expressly asked us all to be respectful here. 💗
My heart breaks for anyone who has experienced a miscarriage and this added layer of trauma is just completely disgusting and unacceptable. I’m so sorry that you experienced this and hope that your story will find its way to people who can facilitate change in Texas. Sending lots of light and love ❤️
Her story is♥️
@@Irishrainy thank you for this insight. It's really unfortunate to know that many women have gone through this and only years later through one major event , everyone seems to care. Performance activism in a sense but at the same time it's great to learn something new and be educated because I had no knowledge of this until now. I just want us to combat issues without politics. Just address them as they are.
This is exactly why I protested on Oct 2, in California. To show solidarity with woman in Texas… that we stand for you and with you. Woman’s bodies are not political pawns. Much love to you for sharing this intimate and sad story. You are right about the bodily violation that the law forced upon you. With much love and respect ✊🏽 😘💋
I just went through this a week ago, and I know EXACTLY how you were feeling with going into the OB and they are talking about and treating you like you're still pregnant because they need that "confirmation appointment".
Thank you, from the bottom of my heart, for posting this. I've been in a horrible place, but hearing you talk about this helps in SO many ways. I can't even express. Thank you, with love from Arkansas. I appreciate you, I hear you, I see you, and I am there with you.
My heart bleeds for you, Marlena. It's traumatizing enough to have a miscarriage, but to have to be blamed for undergoing a medical procedure is overwhelming. It's your body, and I don't understand why a law was created stopping anyone from doing it.
Form of control
@@erismana2105 Yes, it's about control and maintaining a patriarchal society.
I see both sides mainly because my son was a preemie and I saw how much of a human he was when he was born. However, obviously the new laws are flawed and unfair. I genuinely pray Texas makes some changes asap. That is not fair for anyone to go through. Im ashamed of my state right now.
@@SuperRhondalynn It is. Some people have rigid views about how families should look and be. Women and children are subordinated to men even though girls and women are outpacing men in education and professional careers. A couple of states even tried to segregate classrooms (girls v boys). Fortunately, it didn't work out.
I guess you never heard about planned miscarriages. There is a certain cult-church wide-spread in there that uses unborn babies as offers to their god. In the old days they could do more drastic acts but nowadays, since everyone and everything is observed, they have chosen to use more discreet ways, like offering the life of a baby that is not born yet, just a few weeks before. So they plan the dates and when a big celebration for them approaches, like the one at the 31st of this month, they are free to take this medicine and lose the baby and many of them sell them. Since it is unborn, it is not considered a human and there is no crime, but it fullfis the whole point of the sacr... offering. Actually, their church was one of the organizations that stood up against this law because it was stopping them from their religious activities & rights. Does it make sense to anyone of you ? That is why they want proof from two doctors that the baby at the moment is not alive ... This law indeed puts under certain control the body of the women, but what about the other side. Have you all as society ever tried to take responsibility for all the unborn children that where created only to die by their parents before their birth? For pregnant women, even from the first weeks, a fetus is considered a new life and they have feelings for them as if they are whole babies, but then again, are they ? What for some people are cosidered a mass of cells, some others are looking at their offspring and vice versa. First clean what is eatting you alive as a community from the inside and then, they will have no apparent reason to allow these strict laws to continue.
My heart bleeds for you and all the women affected by this law. It should not be this way. YOU ARE NOT ALONE!!! ❤️
Marlena, I've been following you on this channel since 2015. You've had a very challenging life and have bravely fought through your challenges. You've been very honest and candid about all your challenges- that makes you a fantastic, wholesome human being. So sorry you got caught in the crosshairs of a political game. My heart really goes out to you. Please know that you are loved and respected always. Sending you healing prayers and calming thoughts to get through this!
🤍✨🤍✨ very well said ❣️
This was not awkward this was heartbreaking. I can feel your pain and all the things you had to go through is heart breaking and mentally frustrating.
1 in 3 pregnancies end miscarriage. My sympathies to everyone ❤️❤️❤️ I'm here in Texas and don't have kids (or really want to). This state ruined things 😥
Bless you Marlena. You didn't deserve this type of treatment. I completely agree with you. Big hugs ~ I mentioned on Twitter that I had a stillbirth at 7 months and I was at the doctors for one visit without my husband and they couldn't find a heartbeat. They immediately did an ultrasound which confirmed that the baby was not alive. This was traumatic enough but they told me to go home and let nature take its course or they could take me on Friday to induce labor. This was a Tuesday. I simply couldn't believe they let you walk around with a baby that's not alive inside of you. My point is, loss is difficult and being sent home was in my mind unheard of. My body did not go into labor by itself and I hated every minute of waiting and felt all alone. I'm terribly sorry you had to go through this.
I'm so sorry you had to go through all that unnecessary horror. I can't find another word for it 💖💖
Oh God, hunnie I am so very sorry to had to go through that! 🥺
@@lindatannock thank you.
@@TheKatarinaGiselle thank you
This is gut wrenching. I'm so sorry you had to go through so many layers of stress on top of dealing with the loss of your child. Sending you healing and light through this difficult time ❤
Marlena, I’m so sorry you went through this. I can’t even imagine how difficult this has been to have to relive by telling your story, but it is so important to make stories like this known! Praying for peace and healing for you and your family ❤️
Wait, people still believe magical Boogey germs are out to get them? OMG, aren’t you tired of being manipulated by fraud?
@@AgendaInMind You need to get off the internet. Let me tell you again. WE. ARE. IN. THE. YEAR. 2021 almost 2022. Go away!
Oh honey, I wish I could give you a giant hug. I had a miscarriage in the same way you describe once. I can’t imagine having to go through what you did on top of that. I’m so grateful that you didn’t get an infection and are healthy and able to live your beautiful life. Thank you for speaking up. Is women really need each other to so we know we’re not alone. God bless you. Sending love to you my sister and your precious family.
This is heartbreaking. The miscarriage is sad enough then to have all this added on top of it is just devastating. I'm so sorry Marlena. 🙏
Texan politicians are playing with women's health and lives.
I'm so sorry, Marlena, for your loss and this horrible experience.

So sorry you are going through this. My first pregnancy was a miscarriage after ten years of infertility and it Ripped my heart out! Sending you so much ❤️
Sending you lots of love ❤️
❤
I'm so sorry. I went through 6 miscarriages myself... 1 before emy first rainbow, and then 5 before my 2nd rainbow...and then I got a little pot of gold not long after. I feel so blessed. Even moreso because I have felt so much pain from loss.
Hate so much that any woman has to go through a miscarriage... I’m so sorry for your loss. ❤️
I have been following your story over Twitter. I’m so sorry that you have been through this. And I’m sure with all that is going on in Texas has just amplified both fear and anger. I hope you are able to rest and take care of yourself. Many hugs and kisses sent your way.
Thank you for sharing your experience. I've lived in Texas all my life and I'm bitterly ashamed of this inhumane new law in my state. I hope that brave women such as yourself sharing your story will help change this travesty.
It's not just your state now that Roe v Wade was overturned
@@SandraWade666 god, I know, it makes me sick. What a setback for the rights of women
What a nightmare. I am so incredibly sorry for you and what you had to go through. I will vote and fight against laws like this for the rest of my life.
I’m so sorry, I’m praying for your comfort. This is grief. I’ve miscarried twice-first one my OB told me I had options but recommended I miscarry on my own. It would only be “like a heavy period.” That was a lie! It was the most traumatic experience I’ve ever experienced. Literally felt like I was in labor, and the bleeding was horrific. Second miscarriage I opted for D&C, best decision. I was SHOCKED that 1/4 women experience miscarriage, we must bring light on this subject! WOMEN-you are not alone!
When I had my miscarriage, they didn't even give me the option of D&C or not, just strait to D&C no questions asked.This is what you need, this is what we're going to do.
@@NaNaTT549 well, my d & c was traumatic and painful, so I do still think options should be given. But that’s the point, that we have the freedom to CHOOSE! No women shouldn’t be given the option.
I had two miscarriages and for me the DNC was traumatic. They went in to perform DNC only to find out I had tipped uterus. I happily went home with the pill and miscarried there along with the second time. They didn't give me the at home option the first time until the dnc didn't work. I'd rather my body go expel what's necessary on its own (with the inducement of a pill) rather then have my insides scraped out where there's a huge likely hood of leaving parts inside to cause infection.
And it's safer to have medication induced clearing of the uterus as D&C can cause scarring, uterine perforations, cervical tears and infection which can lead to infiltilty. Scarring alone happens in about 15% of procedures. It's statistically a lot safer to have medication induced miscarriage. I do believe we as women should have the option of both though after we're explained the pro's vs con's of both. However I feel marlana kind of spread misinformation about the medication induced option through her own fear.
I live in Northern Ireland where, until two years ago, abortion was illegal. When I miscarried, like Marlena, I had no idea until I was given an ultrasound. I was only offered to wait and see if I bled or have a D and C. Because of the anti-abortion laws, the medical option wasn't available. now we have so-called pro-life politicians trying to roll back the abortion laws and return to the situation where women's healthcare is compromised and vulnerable women have to travel out of the country (as they did in the past in their thousands), to England, to get the healthcare they need.
I can’t even imagine having to tell the world your story, I’ve had 3 miscarriages in my life and yes it can be traumatic. Thank you for sharing ❤️ and honey you’re so fricken strong!! Best wishes!!
Sending you love...
@@michelelanham 🙏❤️
I’m so sorry you had to experience this. I had 2 early miscarriages this year, and I found it so hard to talk about it. It took me a while to stop diminishing how I felt about it because I just didn’t want anyone pitying me. I think you are so strong in how you express your feelings and it gives me strength to express my feelings as well. Thank you for sharing your truth and being you!
So very sorry you were put through this absolutely terrible horror. It is devastating enough to have a miscarriage, but the change in these laws have made the nightmare for women even worse than ever. Which, having had a miscarriage years ago and had needed a D&C because of that, I have worried what might happen to women in similar situations now. I hope you are able to move forward from this devastating experience. Men can't really understand what it is to be a woman who is going through aa miscarriage and then making it all so much worse by changing the laws...... so wrong. Thank you for making your film....you are a brave woman for sure.
Thank you for your sweet message and so sorry for your loss also. Sending you love ❤️
This needs to be shared ... everywhere. This needs to be on the news. I’m so so sorry. God bless 💜
Ugh! My heart is literally so incredibly sad for you Marlena. All I can say is shame on the politicians in Texas. I live in FL and fear that this same abortion laws are going to be implemented here and that’s just criminal! Thank you for sharing your personal story. My heart is with you and pray that with time you can begin to heal. ❤️
From FL here, too. It is definitely scary and I have taken added contraceptive precautions because of it-it’s unfair that I have to. My body feels different and I know that regardless it’s not 100% effective either. Women who are alive should not be weighed as less than something that isn’t here yet, especially in circumstances like Marlena’s. We will fight together for our reproductive rights/bodily autonomy.
@@QueenJme stop trolling!!!! Marlena asked to please be respectful! Are you even a woman?! Seems like a Karen or trolling man 🙄
Fellow Floridian here and this, too, is my fear. I don’t like abortions, but I don’t agree anyone should be told what they can and cannot do with their body. This is dangerous and just pushes those that can’t afford medical care to take drastic measures (ie: cross the border).
@@gM3d09 I'm in GA and I have the same fears. And it's clear that these types of laws are not written by people w/ any medical knowledge. I have sickle cell meaning my pregnancy could be relatively normal to life threatening and anywhere in between and I worry what laws like this could mean for someone like me. How much would I be forced to risk my life and health under a law like this?
God, the emotions, frustrations and sadness I felt for you watching this…I had to pause for a little bit to compose myself. I cried with you. 💔 I’m so sorry you had to go through all of this, Marlena. I hope you find comfort and peace throughout this whole recovery. Sending you massive air hugs, I wish I knew you in person to give you real hugs. ❤️
My heart breaks for you Marlena! Thank you so much for not only sharing your heartbreak with us, but for bringing awareness to laws that need CHANGING! You are NOT ALONE!!! Sending love and prayers your way. I'm so sorry this happened to you.
From one Texas girl to another, thank you for your bravery in sharing your story with the world. I’m in tears with you and my heart goes out to you. My hope is that with your story and others, people can better understand that a woman’s pregnancy journey is not black and white. The emotional toll this law has on our lives is very real and very harmful. Just know, you have a community that supports you right here in the lone star state.
I’ve recommended that a couple of attorneys watch your video because as men I don’t think they really understand what the Roe overturn means. 💕
Marlena, I’m so very sorry for all that you’ve been through with this miscarriage. I cannot imagine having to look at that black screen for a second time just to appease some politician who has never had a baby and never freakin will. I hope you, with your husband’s love & support, will be able to work through this trauma and find some measure of peace. Sending my love & deepest sympathy! 💜
This pisses me off, those men never asked their mothers about these pains. Society needs to talk about these awful topics openly so they can understand why people need their rights.
Her story is deeply sad, and her situation is not what this law is for. I have had the same kind of experience both in Washington state and Texas. It’s not because of this law. Also, many of us women are pro life. It’s not a men vs women thing.
@@Hillcountry_Catholic Men are by and large making these laws about womens bodies.
@@mosoandso No they’re not, and it’s not a law about women’s bodies. It’s a law about protecting innocent lives.
@@Hillcountry_Catholic The government should not have this level of control over individuals.
@@onfe5865 sure but y’all say that and then go vote on things for the government to do just that. If it was up to me, we wouldn’t pay taxes, which is government stealing from all of us. We would not have government control over any medical choices, and that includes vaccinations and family planning. Yet here we are, having only these two choices to fight over.
My deepest condolences Marlena! 💔 You are one of the bravest women I’ve encountered online. Thank you for sharing your most vulnerable moments with us, including this horrific miscarriage and subsequent miscarriage of care. Shame on the legislators of Texas for putting women through this additional trauma. It’s wrong. Full stop. I pray you’re healthy enough, mentally and physically, to expand your beautiful family. Best wishes love. 💜💫✨
I just saw your interview on CNN and absolutely had to hear your full story. I also reached out to you on IG to thank you for your your courage bringing to light stories like this that aren’t typically shared on national media. You are truly inspiring. -Sending you lots of light, love and healing vibes.
Where can I watch her interview?
CNN, didn't see that. Thank you!
I’m a RN at a clinic inside of a hospital that fortunately is able to immediately offer medical or surgical intervention for women going through a miscarriage. I’m so saddened to hear about your experience. That is not okay. It’s just not. It’s so sad that some humans are willing to punish all women in order to punish the few that they deam need punishment. I’m thankful that you’re able and willing to share your story. You’re very brave. I hope that time will heal your heart.
My condolences Marlena. By the way, you look beautiful in this video❤️My sister is 39 and lost her 8 month old baby this past March (the placenta tore and the ambulance didn’t make it to her home in time) and she almost died. I’m not a mother yet but I can just imagine how traumatizing it was for her. All the best❤️
My prayer to your sister and every women. Going through it and gon through it...
@@coolcat6341 Thank you! 🙏 All the best to you as well!
Sending all women going through this much love. You have one male on your side.
I am so infuriated and hurt for you! I have a niece and a sister in Texas, and I pray that they never have to deal with what you've gone through. I'm sorry that any woman has to go through this. I hope that someday very soon our doctors will again have the freedom to provide the best and safest care for all patients, based on medicine and not politics or religion. ❤
Just came across your video and I was crying right along with you. I don't have kids nor have ever been pregnant, but you're right...what you had to go through was FUCKED UP!! I've lived in Texas all my life and hate that this stupid law and the politicians that decided they have the last word and rights to say what a female can and can not do with her body. God bless you, Marlena! I been following you for many many years and you taught me how to put on my make up lol. Thank you! Lots of love from San Antonio!! ❤️
This was one of the most amazing things I’ve seen in a long time ❤️ I’ve gone through a partial molar pregnancy and my body didn’t miscarry either. It was almost a week before I could get a D&C, and I was somewhere in the second trimester. We don’t know how far along I was. I’m up here in Washington and I know exactly what you mean by having a horrible thing happen but a loving experience, my doctors were amazing and it let me start to heal. I got pregnant and gave birth about a year and a half later with our son. Thank you for your story ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
I am so sorry you had to go through this. It sounds awful. I just want to thank you for speaking up and telling your story because people need to hear these stories and see the face of pain. I hate that it has to be you but I’m also so inspired by you doing something so difficult.
That is truly awful, you and other Women in the same situation shouldn’t have to go through this. I’m so sorry that happened to you ❤️
Texas needs to fix this law!
Thank you for sharing your story and letting us know.
Love you & sending love & prayers ❤️
Marlena. I have been a fan of yours for years. I just found this video. As a healthcare worker in Illinois I’m so sorry. IMHO people who make laws about healthcare decisions like this are practicing medicine without a license. I am so very sorry you were treated like that. Healing hugs your way.
Marlena I am so very sorry this happen and on top of it the Texas laws made your pain even worse. Thank you for your courage in sharing your story. Your story MATTERS and people without a uterus don't understand and with your account truly gives them an idea what we go through. sending love
You are so brave and I applaud you for sharing this difficult experience.
I also suffered a miscarriage and had a D&C, however this happened in NY and I had full emotional and medical support the whole time. I have been very concerned for women in the states impacted by the new abortion ban and your video confirms my concerns are valid. Much love to you.
@@Irishrainy I was 11 weeks, though it’s none of your business, to be honest. Your insensitive reply is illustrates why so many people think this is no big deal.
This video is SO important. I’m so so sorry for what you went through. Thank you for sharing. 💛
Thank you for sharing your story. I’m so sorry for your loss Marlena 💕💕 It’s hard enough to go through a miscarriage,you did not deserve to go through that and be made to feel like that.
I am absolutely heartbroken and angry hearing your story! I’m so sorry you had to go through this situation. You did absolutely nothing wrong and you were not being dramatic, this whole situation was traumatic! It was hard just listening to this without crying, I can’t imagine living it. I hope you are in a better place now. ❤️
I am so very sorry for what you went through. My heart aches for you. A miscarriage is difficult and traumatic enough without having to beg for someone to take care of you. As someone born and living in Texas, I appreciate you opening my eyes to this. There’s no way I’m the only person who didn’t realize even medically necessary procedures are this difficult now. I am so so sorry. Sending love and big hugs. 🖤
exactly. even the most pro-life people out there can still support exceptions when it comes to these cases and/or when the mother's life is in danger etc.
I'm near tears. This is so wrong on so many levels. I can't even imagine having to go through this. I had a miscarriage in late 2015. I wasn't supposed to be able to get pregnant, I'd gone years without a period due to a medical condition that caused me to be severely malnourished for awhile. I had one random period and then when I didn't have another I didn't think anything of it because i hadn't had one since I was 21 so it would of been more shocking to have another one. I found out I was pregnant and I was thrilled but terrified because I knew I was sick but it's all I have ever wanted. I miscarried soon after and then in January 2016, my husband, who I started dating when I was 14, died in a tragedy. When he died, I was mourning him and also mourning motherhood because I knew I couldn't move on and date again and I also knew that the chances of a single woman being picked to adopt, was impossible. It's been several years now and I still just want more than anything to be a mom. I'm fortunate enough to be helping to raise my niece and she means the absolute world to me, but I still hold hope that someday, somehow, I can become a mother before time runs out
I’m so sorry to hear what you’ve gone through. Just the idea of losing my husband gives me so much anxiety sometimes. Truly, I’m so sorry. BUT as far as adoption goes, I want to encourage you. My older sister had leukemia as a teen, so she knew it would be difficult, if not impossible, for her to have a baby the traditional way. But all she’s ever wanted was to be a wife and mother. I used to tease her because she wanted to be a “baby factory” lol. Well, she’s 42 next month and single. Five years ago she decided that she wanted to be a mother so badly that she wasn’t going to keep waiting until she found a partner and husband. Adoption can be expensive so she joined the foster to adopt program. It’s free, and while the child is still technically a foster child the state pays a stipend every month to cover expenses. That’s not important, I only mention it because her first foster child was almost three and was eventually reunited with her family so my sister never got to the adoption phase. Her second placement was our Austin. After her first placement she told her caseworker that she wanted a baby under one year old and was willing to wait for that. She got Austin when he was six days old. He was a technically a foster child until he was two. That’s when his biological mom signed away her rights and he became legally adopted and ours. When he was just a baby everyone gave him nicknames because we were praying he would be ours and it felt weird to call him his legal name when my sister decided when she was just a kid that if she had a son she would name him Austin. We didn’t want to confuse him by suddenly changing his name one day. So one day I went over there, and I said, “Austin, your Auntie B loves you!” Charity was surprised and stared to tear up. I looked at her and said, “God’s already decided he’s ours so we shouldn’t let our own fear and anxiety get in the way of that.” And now Austin is a happy healthy five year old. I’m sorry for this incredibly long read, I just want you to know that even though adoption can be a long difficult emotional journey, single moms can legally adopt. You just have to be patient (which is really hard! I get it!), but start now. It’s absolutely possible. Good luck and God Bless!
As someone who lives in Texas I am so so incredibly sorry you had to go through all of that and so incredibly angry that it happened in the state that I live in. Thank you for sharing your story because people need to know how damaging this stupid law is. Sending you lots of love ❤️
I’m so sorry that this happened to you. I couldn’t imagine having to jump through hoops like that because of lawmakers. Women do deserve better.
So sorry you had to go through such pain. My heart goes out to you and any person who regardless of wanting to keep a pregnancy or not feel like they are being turned into the villain. You deserve care and not to be treated in such a way. Hopefully this law is overturned.
I live here in Texas and I was enraged as soon as I heard they did this. Noone knows what this is like for women. It's clear MEN are passing these laws....
Oh Marlena, I hate seeing you sad, thank you so much for sharing your story, I hope it helps you as much as you’ve helped others by sharing. Much love 💓💓💓
I’m so sorry 😢 The government shouldn’t get involved in medical care between a woman and her physician. I’m so angry you were treated so poorly. 💕
Sending you a big hug Marlena. I can’t even imagine going through such an awful experience with the healthcare system. Thank you for shining a light on how this law in Texas affects EVERY women. I honestly had no idea! Sending you prayers to help you get through this traumatic experience.
❤️❤️❤️
Marlena, I went to church with you in your home town, and will always remember you as a very kind and gifted person. Though, I haven’t seen you personally in years, I follow you from time to time and enjoy your videos and products. This video brought both tears, and feelings of frustration and anger for what you had to endure because of this law. Politicians and legislators do not think things through when they introduce and pass these kinds of bills and laws. Personally, having endured some intense trauma growing up, among my more conservative friends and acquaintances, I often find myself in the minority on my views on women’s rights and health issues. I hope you are able to find the strength to be a voice to help change this law. I pray that women who have endured intense trauma such as this find the strength to present much needed information to congress and the Supreme court to ensure the protection of women’s health.
Your message was lovely Amy. I do want to push back on your assertion that politicians don't think things through. I think they do. They're men, not gods, so they want to do things that benefit THEM. What will get them elected back in office? Essentially this kind of religious stuff. I hope more conservatives speak up because this type of stubborn ideological stand is not good for women and society in general.
I saw your story on the CNN app today. My heart is deeply broken you went through this horrible emotional, physical and so much more pain. No woman should ever have to experience this. It’s awful enough that you had to deal with losing your baby, but to have to deal with someone who isn’t you nor your spouse, but rather someone trying to get re-elected…words cannot express. Terrifying. Marlena, your story is truly heartbreaking and very real. So many big hugs.
It's so sad that it's only on CNN 9 months later man 🥺
Came here today from your Twitter thread. Thank you for sharing your story. I have no doubt that you are helping an untold number of people. Thank you.
I am so deeply sorry you had to go through this, and I am so sorry that this is where we are at in 2021. You are brave, you are strong, and you have absolutely helped other women by posting this. Thank you ❤
Deeply sorry for your miscarriage and for what you’ve been through. You’re so strong for sharing your story, such a shame that is happening in this day in age. Stay strong Marlena.
Thank you so much ❤️
@@MarlenaStell ❤️❤️
I’m sending lots of love and light to you. I’m so sorry you experienced that. You deserve better, and women deserve better. I hope you’re able to find the closure and peace you need. Thank you for sharing your story, women need to hear it.
Marlena, I listened to your story and first, I'd like to tell you how very sorry I am for the loss of your baby. What you have to say is so important and I'm beyond proud of you for having the courage to tell your story. God bless you and your family.
Thank you for sharing your story. I shared your story on my FB and I typed up the part that I thought was most powerful. I am pasting it here in case others also felt moved by that part.
"[I am sharing my story] to show what it's really like to have a miscarriage here... I get so angry that I was treated this way because of laws that were passed by men who have never been pregnant and never will be but are telling me how I am supposed to get help and made to feel like I did something wrong or I should be ashamed for me wanting to get a procedure that I feel like is safe for me to be able to try again for a baby in the future. I'm frustrated. I'm angry. And I feel like the women here deserve better than that... It doesn't matter what side of the fence that you want to sit on, laws like this affect all women, regardless of what situation you're in and it's not right. I shouldn't have to go get a-freaking-nother ultrasound and sit through that awful experience looking at a screen and sitting in awkward silence while someone shoves a wand in my sensitive area and tells me, 'hey, you lost your baby' again. I shouldn't have to go through that twice. And I shouldn't have to beg to get some sort of medical intervention to make sure that I don't get an infection so I can still be here for my daughter that I DO have. It's so fucked up. It's fucked up. And I don't know what it's going to take to change that, but it's messed up that that law is how it is here. Women deserve better than that."
I am deeply sorry you had to experience any part of this. I’m crying here with you, because you are right. Women deserve better. From everyone
Marlena, thank you for sharing your story. I went through a miscarriage last January and I was about 8 weeks along. This was my first pregnancy and I never got to see the screen. I didn't know what was normal and how these procedures went. Once they told me that there was no heartbeat I went almost 3 weeks before I had to take medication to make my body cooperate. I had to go several times a week for bloodwork to make see if my numbers were decreasing before I was given options. I know how you feel wondering and waiting. I will say that I was traumatized from taking that medication and I had covid all at the same time. I was in so much pain that I called an ambulance and they said there was nothing that they could do to help me since I had covid as well. I felt alone and scared and thankfully the pain eventually stopped. The images that I saw were alot to take in and if I had to do it again I would probably do the dnc route if I could. How did you move on and even consider getting pregnant again after going through a traumatic experience like this? That is what I am struggling with now and I don't know how to move forward. Thank you for sharing.
Marlene I’m a long time subscriber and I’m not being political. I am a registered nurse and mother as well as very pro-life. Thank you so much for telling your story because it opened my eyes to the situation in Texas that I thought I knew but clearly didn’t realize all the implications. 🙏🏻❤️
Thank you for listening with an objective ear and being willing to admit that. If you have not already seen it, Mama Doctor Jones posted a video about this topic as well. Very eye opening. (She’s an obstetrician based in Texas, if you’re not familiar.)
I recommand to look at an Irish group (this country had anti-abortion laws in its constitution up to a few years ago) called "in her shoes". Many of the stories there were from women who wanted to have a baby and who suffered terribly because of this law. I am very much pro-choice, not only for women to decide about their life but also for all the women who wanted to have a baby but still had to suffer the consequences of anti-abortion laws
I just shared this story to my page for this very reason. I am in Alabama (where people also want to pass extreme "anti-abortion" laws and are all very "pro-life") and I'm hoping that some of the people here who are "pro-life" will see how this can negatively impact any and all women (including themselves, their mothers, sisters, wife, etc.), not just those who are seeking an abortion. How can you claim to be "pro-life" if you don't care about the lives of women? If a woman who is miscarrying is not given the option or is damn near bullied into getting no medical help and forced to miscarry at home, it could lead to severe infection if the baby or sack is not fully miscarried (you know this, as a nurse). The infection could absolutely be severe enough to not only destroy any chance of a future pregnancy, but to go into sepsis and DIE! Is it really "pro-life" to say that a woman's life doesn't matter? Is it really "pro-life" to say that a fetus life should matter more than a living, breathing human being who walks this earth who may have other children to care for? I don't get it.
@@kenetrice Very well said. 👏 I'm failing to understand the logic of these comments that boast being pro-life in situations where the mother, who wanted the baby to survive and might already have other living children to care for, could die. That's being pro-fetus at best; it absolutely is not being pro-life. If anything it's pro-misogyny and pro-willful ignorance. It's not like there isn't decades of research showing what can go wrong and how much worse it can get without a safe environment.
My heart broke watching this. I am so sorry for what you and every other woman in Texas and other states have had to go through seeking MEDICALLY NECESSARY CARE. Thank you so much for courage in sharing your story.
@MarlenaStell~ THANK YOU for courageously sharing your personal story with us! It's CRUCIAL for EVERYONE to understand these laws are not only deeply intrusive, but also dangerously flawed. NO LAW should endanger a woman's current or future physical health, stand in the way of being able to obtain medical care, nor cause profound emotional trauma!! Your anger is 100% justified!! Your story demonstrates the true danger of these reckless laws. EVERY WOMAN SHOULD BE OUTRAGED! I stand with you in solidarity Marlena!
XOXO ~~Christy~~
This isn’t awkward, it’s aggravating. I’m heart broken for you that the state has decided that you are unworthy of the respect and sensitivity you deserve. My heart goes out to all women who has to endure the loss.
This is so painful. I wept with you throughout this video. Appreciate your vulnerability. Praying for comfort as you grieve this loss ❤️
Absolutely horrific. You are an amazing and strong woman. Thank you for using your platform to speak for the voiceless in your state. We will continue to fight. Sending you love and light! ❤️
Thank you for sharing your experience. As a public health expert, I'm mortified and terrified for women by what is happening in Texas to put their health at risk.
Dear Marlena, I am almost 54 yrs old, between 40-42 I too had miscarriages, 7 in total. The 5th came with vaginal tablets, I had the small version of a normal birth, it hurt but I also felt at peace. The last one (nr 7) was removed with DNC procedure, and a IUD was placed. 7 miscarriages was enough. Sorry if my English is not 100%, it's not my first language, I am from the Netherlands. Hugs and kisses from me to you xxx
My heart is with you and your family. So many injustices in the world. I pray so more love reigns this world. Very upset to set up laws about what women should be able to do with their body. Love you Marlena and all women going through this.
omg marlena i’m so sorry you went through this, i wish i could give you a big hug xx listening to you makes me grateful for our NHS, where all pregnant women despite of risk/situation are cared for unconditionally🙏
…. and having to call every hospital etc just to see if any will care for you just blows my mind, this is stressful enough without having to do that 😔
i know your pain, i have had pregnancy losses and it truly hurts xx sending you the biggest virtual hugs xx take care of yourself ❤️
You said it all perfectly, Marlena.. It's effed up and quite honestly disgusting! I am so sorry that you had to go through this and I wish you lots of healing light and peace!! xo 🙏🏼💛
Hi Marlene.
Hearing your story really inspires me to speak up more. I had a miscarriage back in 2013 when I was 18 and I have lived in Maryland my whole life. The Maryland laws are different than Texas, and I know I am still healing from my experience even though the doctors and nurses treated me well. One if the nurses had known that I blamed myself for the miscarriage because I wasn’t treating myself properly..but she insisted that it wasn’t my fault, and that she sees a lot of woman’s body’s at high risk; no matter the age. I was so young and I knew I wasn’t ready, under immense amount of stress, and was always fighting with my SO at the time. My body still cannot produce a regular period some months so I know now no matter how good I treated myself, my body wouldn’t have been able to carry a baby as badly as my ex wanted to be a young dad. He became a young dad that’s for sure..but by another woman when he realized I probably couldn’t make babies.
I can’t fathom the emotional burden you experienced because of the lack of concern and compassion for YOU as a human being and a woman. I want to send you love and healing your way in all forms. Thank you for sharing with the world a piece of you that I’m sure you never wanted to touch surface on again considering you already live with it every day. I look up to you and I pray you and your family find that peace you ultimately deserve. Your rainbow babies, your daughter, your husband and sooooo many grieving woman look at you as a warrior. You fought so hard for proper HEALTH CARE which no woman should ever have to do…but I won’t give up fighting as long as I can either. This right and left pointing fingers who’s right and who’s wrong shit is really where the issues lie. it’s the divid of a nation that creates power in deviant places!! Women are embracing their divine nature; there is nothing that will stop us from fighting for peace and love. The collapse of the US Government hasn’t just begun. Use this moment in time to appreciate what we are all experiencing; a time of change. It starts with us. Thank you for reading ❤️ I send whoever reads this peace, healing and love. Let the rain pour, but always get back up with your head held higher ❤️ Much love to you and your family Marlene!
I'm sorry you experienced not only a miscarriage but also the way in which things were handled. No one should have to feel such heartbreak and have it topped off with such insensitive laws.
I’m so sorry that you went through this...you’re right that you deserve better…women deserve better. It makes me angry hearing that you were treated this way & had this experience. My heart goes out to you! ❤️
Thank you for sharing. I was 15 weeks when I was told my daughter was “incompatible with life”. She was diagnosed with Trisomy 13, and had genetic abnormalities that would limit her life. They offered to terminate our pregnancy that same day. For our very loved and wanted daughter we accepted her life to be as long as God had wrote it in the stars. I had a CHOICE, and I would never want to take away that right from anyone. She was born alive against all odds and we loved her for 14.5 hrs. She died in my arms and surrounded by love. Yours is such a tragic story and an inevitable journey many women share. We are not alone. There are many, many stories like ours. It’s about the choice, and we should all have one. Always loved, Evangeline Rose May 22, 2016.
I am so sorry to hear that. I agree we all need the choice and regardless they are not easy choices.
Sending lots of love your way.
Wow thank you for sharing your personal story. You are incredibly brave and strong. Praying for you and your beautiful Evangeline Rose May. 💕
Thank you so much for this video. I had a miscarriage 7years ago. After the 3rd day no one in my life has ever mentioned it again. I have brought it up here and there in conversations. But I think about it ALOT every time I see a 7yr old I think of what my child would be like. It's a topic other people are able to move on with their life quick while our pain never leaves.
No words… I’m so sincerely sorry for your loss and for all you had to go through that made your experience
even more traumatic. ❤️🙏❤️
I'm so incredibly sorry for what you went through here in Texas. It shouldn't matter if it's a D&C, abortion, or any other procedure...women should have access to safe medical care. It feels like we're taking 500 steps back when we should be moving forward.
Thank you for sharing this even though it's such a tough subject to talk about. Laws like that are disgusting and have such a negative impact for so many people! Transvaginal ultrasounds are already super uncomfortable emotionally and to have to get one for such an awful reason... ugh. I can't imagine the added layers of horror that those despicable protesters created for you. It makes me sick to think about fanatics screaming at you when you're already grieving and scared.
Sending so many hugs.

Absolutely shocking, my heart is breaking for you and for every women going through this ((( lots of love!
I’m going through this right now and it’s extremely upsetting! It’s hard enough having a miscarriage let alone be harassed for it. I have an empty sac too at 9 weeks currently. I want another ultrasound to be sure.
My doctor told me mine was my fault because I’m just over 40 so “it must be you.” 😢
I'd complain about that Dr to the state medical board
I am so sorry. My heart is hurting g for you.
Change doctors immediately.
Omg 😳 I’m so sorry about that AWFUL Dr. My Nana had a baby at 40. That was back in the 60s. It’s absolutely possible.
Your Doctor is so stupid, this happens to women at all age.
Thank you for bravely sharing your experience and I know it will help other people going through this. No one should have to fight so hard for decent medical care in this country. Hope you’re taking care 🤍
