Hi elmo97
Probably being driven in a taxi down a winding hill road in India late at night. The driver was manic – if anything had been coming the other way, we’d have been dead!

Birth of my son. Don’t want to talk about it. Terrifying process. Good luck Emma!

I did once think I was going to die, on the motorway, on the way back to university in my first year.
My dad was driving me there but he had a gum abscess at the time (very painful!) – he hates the dentist and that’s what tends to come of it!
So just before we left, he took some painkillers.This resulted in him nearly falling asleep whilst driving and we kept going over the rumble strip (bumpy bit on the side of the motorway that makes a lot of noise when your wheels go over it; it’s supposed to wake people up if they’re veering off course).
He refused to stop and I really thought we’d crash and die!
Don’t take drugs and drive, kids…

does not having a gallbladder mean you cant have babies

No. Absolutely not. The gall bladder is almost entirely useless. It just holds bile (helps with digestion) produced by the liver and concentrates it up so that it works better. Loads of people have their gall-bladders out. Often by key-hole surgery (laparoscopy). I helped out removing a few gall-bladders (mainly holding the camera) when i was training.
You might be thinking about hysterectomy which is an operation to remove the womb.
