A beauty YouTuber has claimed that she was forced to carry her dead fetus inside of her for two weeks after Texas doctors refused to remove it because they said she needed 'additional evidence' to prove it didn't have a heartbeat amid abortion bans in the state.
Marlena Stell, 42, from Houston, recalled being ecstatic when she learned that she and her husband, Ab DeSilva, were expecting their second child together last year.
However, the makeup guru's excitement soon turned to heartbreak when she found out around nine weeks into the pregnancy that she had tragically lost the baby.
She was informed that the fetus no longer had a heartbeat, which she described as 'devastating,' and she planned to receive a dilation and curettage (D&C) - a procedure designed to remove a fetus from a women's uterus following a miscarriage.
Marlena was then told by doctors that due to Texas' law regarding abortion, which went into effect on September 1, 2021, she needed to schedule a second ultrasound to 'verify that the pregnancy is no longer valid' before they could give her 'any sort of medical intervention' - which resulted in her having to live with the deceased fetus inside of her for two extra weeks.

Well, it was devastating, of course, but she recovered and was devoted to, and lived for, her husband and child.
She wasn’t able to have any more children.
If it’s just a bunch of tissue as they say why would she feel like a walking coffin?
I call BS. Did...not...happen.
Ikr? Life sucks sometimes.
Last call. Good one. She had to snag someone and get out before they turned on the lights.
Is she ugly? Not really. Just bad hair, icky eyebrows, far too much lipstick and makeup. Slutty looking. And (probably) very boring. Like, ya know? Perfect for last call.
Smells like BS to me.
Got to call baloney on this. Doctors will act with dispatch when a baby has died in utero.
Actually often they will wait for natural labor. Certainly not because they they are not sure baby is dead
Sounds like a load of Horses#it to me!!!
we were in that same situation....We were committed to “parent” until she was taken, after delivery
we held her and Named her, her life mattered, and it changed many aspects of our lives!!
If we did that and it was sticking their reaction would have to be something like this exchange from the movie Liar, Liar:
Fletcher: Your honor, I object!
Judge: Why?
Fletcher: Because it’s devastating to my case!
Judge: Overruled.
Fletcher: Good call!
Marlena Stell is a fraud. Doctors have the techniques to detect the hearbeat from a baby in the womb. They could have confirmed that the baby was dead. She is an attention hound.
I call Bea Ess, on this story.
This gal isn’t telling the entire story, I’d say.
