Trainwreck Alex Dacy / Alex Dzimtowicz / Wheelchair Rapunzel - 50% wholesome disability influencer, 50% that cash me outside girl

[AssignedEva]

She doesn’t. She has the same lack of awareness about the situation that Kim (if you’re familiar with the Sammieverse) had when she was in labor. She does not grasp her baby will absolutely be spending quite a bit of time in the NICU on oxygen support and a feeding tube. 31-32 weeks is super early. My son was 35 weeks and needed support for about a week. He had nearly a month longer in the womb than her daughter will and it was still hard for him.

I have nothing pithy to add. I just feel sick. This thread has the same energy as the Holly Dance one when Archie's decaying brain was dripping down his spine. This poor child, I'd rather the Tranchers abused some more alpaca over everyone letting this happen.

 

[LonesomeDud]

Do you know what makes you very tired? Hypoxia. She had a little over 20% lung function going in to pregnancy, and has contorted anatomy and limited movement. A healthy woman with room to expand their body can feel pressed for air in the third trimester. We already know she is struggling to breathe, and is getting extra ventilatory support. She's on a pulmonary unit.

I think lack of oxygen to the baby is more likely to disable it, than the category X drug exposure. This is a hell of an interesting case study.

But yeah, if she's extra tired I'd bet oxygen levels were the first thing they checked.

Sats and blood gases are a concern, but I was thinking she needs a UDS for drugs of abuse. I don't trust her to do anything responsible. She's the kind of patient who asks about a UDS as a "joke" so she can gauge whether or not she can party during pregnancy. Or her partner can slip a little heroin so she'll stop asking to go to the toilet.

Wasn’t she eating sushi and taking Paxil the whole time? She was also shown having drinks though those may have been mocktails.

Alex is repulsive. Not because she’s disabled, but because she is not bright at all. As I’ve said before, she makes one bad decision after another constantly.

She was still taking her “twerk juice” in the early stages of her pregnancy. I think she was bragging about being in a study about the effects of her SMA drug on a developing fetus/pregnancy.

 

[often puzzled]

This is grim AF. Maybe it's because I'm not disabled and haven't spent my entire life in a medicalized setting but this just seems really dire to me. I guess it's just normal to Alex and not a big deal because she's disabled? I don't know. So much shit can go horribly wrong during a "normal" pregnancy and delivery but here's super high risk Alex, boppin' along, so excited and ready to meet Baby A, seemingly unfazed by the absolute peril they're both in. I'm just going assume that Noah has cut the family vacay short and is en route to save the day.

Your assessment of her current attitude is spot-on, and I do like how explanations for his absence seem to have switched from "family vacation" to "yoga retreat in India." The latter is pretty much a comedy skit-tier euphemism for "rehab," of course.

She's incredibly blasé in a way that's down to immaturity, not disability. Spending a ton of time in medical settings can definitely lead to being accustomed to medical stuff in a way that other people aren't, but serious stuff remains . . . well, serious. There's also a difference in dealing with X procedure you've had a million times before vs something entirely unfamiliar-- like, say, a super-high-risk pregnancy. Even though she's assuredly familiar with medical situations, this is an unknown, even for her. Her own future health is a big question mark in this situation, as is the health of the baby. I wouldn't tell other disabled people how they "should" feel in a given situation, but this is really weird, disability or not.

Pregnancy and childbirth are scary and full of unknowns for anyone, but she's weirdly oblivious to how her pregnancy and childbirth are entirely comprised of unknowns. No one is drawing from their wealth of knowledge about and experience with SMA pregnancies. There's no playbook to consult.

No one is fully prepared for having children, and every first-time parent talks about how things are going to be-- while people who already have children snicker behind their hands and mutter "wait and see." That's so normal that it's a rite of passage. But watching Alex "prepare" for the baby with the catalog-ready bassinet and canopy, while she's about to be in the biggest danger of her life, while her baby daddy is MIA, while the carer situation is a question mark-- it's new levels of fiddling while Rome burns.

 

[lolcow yoghurt]

I just finished reading the thread and I don't think she will survive the birth even though it's c-section.

 

[Behavioral Sink]

Feeling bad for her doctors right about now. And her mom. And the baby.

And even her and the dumbass junkie, just a tiny bit. They fucked up, and there's no undoing it, and a bunch of lives are getting ruined no matter how this goes.

No happy endings here.

There are no happy endings, but there's opportunity for good endings and growth. Life goes on. I hope Baby A. becomes the person she was meant to be. Some people are scrappy.

I've liked your outlook throughout this thread.
I'm really hoping no one dies and the baby's struggle isn't too great, she will struggle of course, due to her mother's choices; a life is a life and anyone can be redeemed.

I don't have anything nice to say about Noah, and I hope at the very least he's been in contact with her; although if he's in rehab that's not likely.

Anyways, I appreciate what you've had to say.

Regarding her possible pre-eclampsia, she may have HELLP developing:

• Haemolysis (breakdown of red blood cells)
• Elevated Liver enzymes (liver is angry/not working well)
• Low Platelet count (stuff that helps your blood clot)

Last time I studied Obstetrics this was considered part of pre-eclampsia but is apparently a type of pre-eclampsia that is considered more concerning.

edit: Wikipedia link

Any whiff of things going south they will whip this baby out, I dare say since it's the weekend they're aiming to get her through to Monday morning at least when you know you can have a planned procedure with all the staff and services you need (instead of like 11pm on a Sunday).

 

[SpiceyHuman]

Her carefree attitude about this is really starting to get me mati. Pregnancy is and delivery is serious buisness for us humans. Im not sure if iit was in this thread or another, but as someone else put it, even for a perfectly healthy woman having a perfectly healthy pregnancy, delivery will probably be the closest she will ever come in her life to experiencing a situation that may result in her death. For those few hours, you are utterly at your most vulnerable and even in the best medical care, theres a very real possibility that you and your baby may die. Most of the time it results in happy endings but no one is exempt from tragedy.

Her situation is far more dire and risky but shes just all "tee hee im soooo quirky being pregnant while disabled. Can't wait to take my babby home lol"

I truely hope things go well and she has as smooth of a C-section as one could hope fore, and that her baby is as healthy as it could be for 31 weeks.

New IG post from Alex. She's 32 weeks pregnant now and doing better. Needs oxygen at night and might be heading home again if the platelets test comes back and shows that they've gone up. Everybody in the comments wants to know where Noah is and when he's showing up. It's weird she's not mentioning him at all knowing everybody has been asking about him.

Spoiler: IG post text

32 WEEKS & we are finally nearing the end of the road friends! Pregnancy has brought a lot of firsts for me… including getting to swing around in a Hoyer lift

it is officially that time… My body is telling me that we cannot handle much more so I am being monitored very very closely and I am doing very well, just a few little things and we are preparing for delivery of baby A!

maybe have gotten six hours of sleep in the past two days but I am running on adrenaline and excitement at this point! Got my first dose of steroids to speed up lung development in baby!

I am being monitored for possible preeclampsia, but all my blood work is slowly showing improvement not that anything was super bad just a little off here and there! All pregnancy related.

baby a is also being monitored daily and she is doing great— I talked with my team today and we all decided that if my platelets go back up that I can hopefully go home tomorrow and try to push for one more week, as my respiratory status is hanging tough and I am feeling better! I needed a bit of oxygen just while I was sleeping because my oxygen goes down just a little bit when I am sleeping or lying down because there is so much pressure.

When I am in my wheelchair, all my vitals are perfect! So I am just waiting on some test results and hopefully I can go home tomorrow if my doctor says I can so that we can cook her for one more week if my platelets are the same or lower we will go ahead with a sooner delivery!

SHE’S GOING TO BE HERE SO SOON!

Going home and trying for another week? Press X to doubt.

 

[Pumpkin spice]

Yeah nah, Noah is not coming back.

 

[UncommonParlence]

That side profile is... definitely something. Is it really her CPAP machine that made her nose that big?
Also, I just realized: why would she call herself "Rapunzel"? It just draws attention to the fact she barely has any hair on her head.

Even if Alex was dumb enough to want to be pregnant with her condition (which she is), you'd think Noah would have a modicum of common sense and wrap it up. Unsafe sex is a common behaviour for people with BPD, but. Really? You really think this is a smart move? He could easily kill her if he's too rough. She can barely breathe or move. She's the perfect candidate for the worst lay possible, with or without a condom.

He might've been acting impulsively, and is now either in rehab or escaped to not have to deal with the consequences of his actions now that the due date is approaching. I don't think I saw this mentionned, but i'd like to suggest that he could be in the psych ward. It would explain his lack of online presence, and checking yourself into a ward is peak BPD. It would allow him to get away from his biggest and most stressful responsibility of caretaker to an adult child and a newborn baby.

People ALWAYS say that their loved ones are on "vacation" when they're in rehab/jail. It's basically a euphemism. And of course if Noah is in an institution(jail, psyche, rehab) Alex will take him back. She's kinda depending on him. To take care of her, the baby, even just around the house. It's honestly too much to expect from a lover to be a full time care taker. It will kill the romance. Taking care of the baby

Yeah nah, Noah is not coming back.

There's nothing that could have prevented me from being at my daughter's birth or around her mother in the last few weeks. Rehab could have waited until he knows she and the child survived. But it's obvious that he couldn't care less and isn't coming back. Especially with pussy ass addictions to shit like Adderall and freaking kratom. Nobody would've cared if he used for an additional two weeks before rehab so he could support the mother of his child. This absence is unforgivable. It's the kind of thing a mother and child could rightfully resent FOREVER. It's right up there with with finding out that your father had been pushing hard to abort you. How will he ever convince his child that they are and were wanted when it's so obvious they are not. Fuck you Noah, don't come back bitch.

Rumours have floated around for ever that it was a lot more than addy and kratom. Those are rich boy excuses. Huge pinch of salt but there are tiktok comments on there this morning saying they know him and he was a heroin user.
I can't say I see any signs the last 2 weeks of a heroin relapse however. I think he was happy to relapse on pussy drugs and go for a grippy sock holiday when shit got real.

Alex tagged him in a now deleted story to make out like everything's fine. Ironically it was a reblog of one of Chelsea Hill's posts.
Yeah Alex you wish this was you and Noah that much is very obvious.

Tiktok from the hospital, her mom brought her food.

So to be slightly fair to Noah, if he knew he was losing the plot and that an inpatient stay would be helpful, he probably thought he had another month until the baby came so he had a bit of time to get his head right.

Falling apart and disappearing when Alex is in ICU and the baby is in NICU isn't great either.

Alex has addressed the elephant in the room. Has to be rehab.

lol noah has definetely jumped ship
