But.....that's realistically where they ACTUALLY are. If the grandchild is already inside the daughters overies, that means she's already pregnant. Which means, in order to be selfish, that would mean she's just NOT allowing a 9+ month old child to be born. Like the contractions start, and the mother shoves her hand in, and shoves the kid back up there.
"Oh no you don't! You STAY in there!!! I don't care if it's been 96 months! MOMMIES STILL PREGNANT!!!"
Okay, there are just multiple layers of bad women's anatomy in the original post and in the comments.
Eggs are in the ovaries. Without hormonal birth control, generally one egg (but sometimes more and sometimes none) is released from the ovary, travels down the fallopian tube, and if it is fertilized, implants in the uterus. If it is not fertilized, it passes out of the uterus, the uterine lining is shed (that's menstruation), and the process repeats the following month.
There is no "grandchild" in an ovary, any more than there is a "grandchild" in a testicle.
And if a fertilized egg implants anywhere outside the uterus, that's an ectopic pregnancy -- which is not viable because only the uterus has the capability to grow with and provide nourishment to a developing fetus. Not only that, but ectopic pregnancies are generally fatal to the mother (or however that person identifies).
Ah, but we all seem to have forgotten: pee is stored in the balls.
Taps head
There is some bad woman's anatomy here too. The egg is broken down and reabsorbed before menstruation starts.
Menstruation happens when the lutheal body desintigrates. Ending the fake pregnancy effect it has. Since there is no embryo to continue the process, the lack of progesterone gets detected as a non-viable pregnancy resultong in a fake miscarriage.
I mean, the kids are neither in a ballsack nor the ovaries.
If you consider a fertilized egg a child, which you shouldn't, they would be in the uterus.
If it's inside an ovary, the mother's going to die.
You guys need some anatomy lessons. Women are born with all the oocytes (eggs) they will ever have. They don't make them on demand like dudes do sperm. So it is entirely accurate to say any children a woman will have are already in her ovaries, barring circumstances like surrogacy, adoption, etc.
I'm not saying that eggs are not inside the ovaries, I'm saying that eggs are not children.
I mean, sperm aren't children either.
Which is what I said in my post that uid0grid0 responded to, saying that I needed anatomy lessons.
Sperm is not a child.
An egg is not a child.
A fertilized egg is also not a child, but some people think it is.
Some people also don't take this anywhere that serious and y'all's conversation seems really silly. Nobody on Lemmy (within reason, I'm sure there are idiots here too) is going to seriously argue that either gamete is a child.
These types of conversations are the ones that make me question just how prevalent autism is on Lemmy. People engage in wordplay and don't literally mean what they say all the time yet these types of comments are 90% on posts like this.
And neither are fetuses. Birth turns a fetus into a child. His grandchildren don't exist yet.
