#// YALL ARE LITERALLY GROWING PEOPLE IN BATHTUBS HOW IS IT THAT WOMEN ARE STILL DYING IN CHILDBIRTH

[vendettavalor]

// AU where Padmé lives bc Aurelia helped with the delivery of the twins and has extensive experience with delivering far more babies in far worse conditions + basic understanding of pre/intra/postpartum and pre/postnatal care

// Bonus: She, Alfie, and Obi-Wan help keep Padmé safe and allow her to raise her own babies (with help from the canon adoptive parents) while they’re all basically hiding from Anakin and the Empire. Maybe even helps her find someone who’s actually worth her time too-

#wishlist : they all thought it but they never said out loud #// I have beef with that whole scene tbh #// SHE DID NOT HAVE TO DIE??? #// YALL ARE LITERALLY GROWING PEOPLE IN BATHTUBS HOW IS IT THAT WOMEN ARE STILL DYING IN CHILDBIRTH #// I mean I guess that’s representative of the fact that maternal health is so understudied and undervalued that #// no matter how far technology advances people just don’t give enough of a damn to update lifesaving practices if they’re meant for women #// and hence they will continue to die easily preventable deaths as a result #// but a.urelia’s built different #// she had the knowledge and she is going to USE it god dammit-
