Item #: SCP-XXXX
Object Class: Safe
Special Containment Procedures: SCP-XXXX instances are to be stored in a safe, which is to be kept cool, dark, and dry.
Description: SCP-XXXX outwardly resembles Tampax Pearl tampons. While the object functions as an ordinary tampon for the most part, its anomalous effects present itself when used by someone who has undergone a clinical abortion procedure. When used by such a subject, SCP-XXXX will transform from a tampon into an unborn baby, hereby designated SCP-XXXX-1, while inside the user. Though there is an undeniable increase of mass inside the user, there are no outwardly detectable changes to the user's appearance. Users are generally unaware of SCP-XXXX-1's existence until it is extracted from their body. While attempting to remove SCP-XXXX, users pull along the string of SCP-XXXX, which smoothly transitions into SCP-XXXX-1's umbilical cord.
There are several differences between an ordinary birth and one induced by an instance of SCP-XXXX, with the most obvious being that SCP-XXXX-1's birth is precursed by overt umbilical cord prolapse. In a regular birth, this could potentially constrict the flow of blood and oxygen to the child. However, seeing as SCP-XXXX-1 sources its oxygen and blood directly from the umbilical cord, rather than using the umbilical cord as a conduit between SCP-XXXX-1 and a placenta, this risk appears negligible. After the user pulls on the string of SCP-XXXX, the birth begins, and proceeds directly to the second stage of labor, with the cervix fully dilated. The uterine contractions present in the first stage are completely absent, and cervical effacement and dilation are almost instantaneous. The second stage of labor is carried out without issue. Due to SCP-XXXX-1's lack of both a placenta and an amniotic sac, the third stage of labor (expulsion of afterbirth) is also absent.
Genetic analysis of SCP-XXXX-1 indicates that its parents are identical to that of the user's aborted child, with the mother being the user of SCP-XXXX. It is theorized that SCP-XXXX remotely pulls sperm of the appropriate male through anomalous means, essentially creating not the aborted child, but a sibling of it.
Furthermore, additional anomalous properties seem to protect the life of both the user and SCP-XXXX-1. For instance, the previously mentioned umbilical cord prolapse is essentially harmless. Even the dangers of instantaneous cervix dilation and materialization of SCP-XXXX-1, including the rupturing of reproductive organs among other possibilities, are noticeably missing. It has been conluded that the preservation of the user's and SCP-XXXX-1's safety was a part of the the creator's intentions. A profile on the creator, now deemed Person of Interest 3955, can be found in Document XXXX-A below.
SCP-XXXX was discovered in ████████, Alabama, when M██████ H█████████, hereby referred to as Subject XXXX-01, rushed to the local hospital, claiming that she had just "pulled out a tampon but it was actually a baby". After Subject XXXX-01's claims were verified, Foundation staff was contacted. Subject XXXX-01, SCP-XXXX-1, and 17 additional (presumed) instances of SCP-XXXX found in Subject XXXX-01's apartment were promptly collected and taken to Site 93.
Document XXXX-AInterviewed: Subject XXXX-01: M██████ H█████████, 28-year-old African American female.
Interviewer: Dr. Hsieh, Assisstant Researcher of SCP-XXXX.
Foreword: This interview was conducted after the Foundation collected Subject XXXX-01 and ran several diagnostic tests on SCP-XXXX and SCP-XXXX-1.
<Begin Log, 11:48:22, 5/23/2018>
Dr. Hsieh: Hello. Today is May 23rd, 2018, I'm Assistant Researcher Hsieh, interviewing a user of SCP-XXXX, the childbirthing tampons. Would you be able to tell me how you came into possession of the tampons?
Subject XXXX-01: I…I bought them at the CVS down the street from my apartment.
Dr. Hsieh: Just got them off the shelf?
Subject XXXX-01: Yes.
Dr. Hsieh: Alright. In that case, could you give me the address of the store?
Subject XXXX-01: Oh…I don't know the actual address, but it's on [REDACTED].
Dr. Hsieh: Thank you. Now did you use them immediately after you bought them?
Subject XXXX-01: Yeah. I ran out [of tampons] that morning so I got them after I got out of work in the evening. I usually use pads during the day, but you know, they leak at night sometimes, so I like putting in a tampon overnight. With a pad in case it still leaks or something.
Dr. Hsieh: I see. [Pause] Excuse me but…aren't you afraid of toxic shock syndrome?
Subject XXXX-01: Well that's only a concern if you leave it in for more than 8 hours, right? I usually don't get to sleep that long so it's never really bothered me, no.
Subject XXXX-01 laughs nervously.
Dr. Hsieh: Oh, I see. Where were we…ah. So you bought and used them in the same day.
Subject XXXX-01: Yeah.
Dr. Hsieh: When did you realize something was wrong? Did you feel that something was off before you took out the tampon?
Subject XXXX-01: Well…I was sleeping most of the time it was in.
Dr. Hsieh: Makes sense.
Subject XXXX-01: But there was…I guess maybe I thought I was still really sleepy or something so I didn't think too much of it, but I kind of saw like…text, floating in front of me.
Dr. Hsieh: Text?
Subject XXXX-01: Yeah, it was just hanging in the middle of my field of vision, and it would stay there, no matter which way I turned.
Dr. Hsieh: Why didn't you report this to anyone?
Subject XXXX-01: Well, as I said, I dismissed it because I thought I was tired, but I mean…people would think I'm mental if I told them I saw words floating around me, you know. I think if they hung around longer maybe? Maybe I would have told someone.
Dr. Hsieh: …I think I understand. What did the text look like? What did it say?
Subject XXXX-01: Well, it was a bright red color, almost like it was glowing. Really obnoxious. It said stuff like…like "You're a murderer", "Beg the Lord for mercy", stuff like that.
Dr. Hsieh: …hm. I see. Do you have any idea what the words are referring to?
Subject XXXX-01: I…no. I don't know. I've never killed anyone. I'm not a murderer.
Dr. Hsieh: Okay. And do you still see the text?
Subject XXXX-01: No, I think it went away after I pulled out the…baby, I guess.
Dr. Hsieh: I see. Could you describe the, ah, birth…?
Subject XXXX-01: Well…well I was in my bathroom, right? I had gotten up like what, 10 minutes ago? And I was there to pull out my tampon you know, put down a new pad.
Dr. Hsieh: Right, right.
Subject XXXX-01: And so I'm sitting on the toilet and I'm starting to pull on the string. And you know how when you're pulling, it feels kind of stuck and then you have to pull harder and it feels like your intestines are coming out with the tampon?
Dr. Hsieh: [Laughs] Unfortunately, I know exactly what you mean.
Subject XXXX-01: Right. But you know, I could tell something was wrong. Cause the string started giving but I didn't feel that pull inside. For a moment I thought the string came loose from the tampon and I started panicking.
Dr. Hsieh: Understandable.
Subject XXXX-01: And I'm like, alright, if I pull slowly, maybe it'll still pull the tampon out? Since the string's supposed to be woven into the tampon itself.
Dr. Hsieh: Mmhm.
Subject XXXX-01: So I'm pulling, and by now the string is a lot longer than it's supposed to be, and it's like, changing. Like it's slimier and the texture, it's all…wrong.
Dr. Hsieh: How so?
Subject XXXX-01: It was getting thicker, fleshier.
Dr. Hsieh: Ah.
Subject XXXX-01: And I'm pulling and it doesn't stop. It's so long that I had to drape it outside of the toilet bowl. And—and it didn't just touch the floor, it was long enough that it doubled back and made coils.
Dr. Hsieh: I see.
Subject XXXX-01: And I was pulling faster earlier, like hand-over-hand, but then…I got nervous. I think I figured it out, and I…I knew what was coming.
Dr. Hsieh: That was the umbilical cord, wasn't it?
Subject XXXX-01: I think so, yeah.
Dr. Hsieh: And then?
Subject XXXX-01: Well…then, you know, I felt it.
Dr. Hsieh: The baby?
Subject XXXX-01: Yeah.
Dr. Hsieh: …Do you think you can continue?
Subject XXXX-01: Can I get some water first?
Dr. Hsieh: Yes, of course.
[Assistant Researcher Hsieh brings the user a bottle of water. The Subject XXXX-01 drinks, and does not resume speaking until 4 minutes later.]
Subject XXXX-01: You know, I may seem awfully easygoing about this, but that's only because I have no idea how to deal with this.
Dr. Hsieh: I see. [Pause] Whenever you're ready.
[User remains silent for another minute and a half.]
Subject XXXX-01: …I've always thought to myself, how nice would it be if I could have children of my own, with the person I love? [Pause] But then I would always think about my own life. About how I work two part-time jobs, work myself to the ground, and how even now, 5 years after graduating, I still haven't paid off my student loans. I start doubting, you know. [Sigh] I don't want them to grow up and just live a life like mine. I want them to be safe, and financially secure, but maybe they'll just get shot by the police. Maybe they'll get raped in the back alleys at night, and never get the justice they deserve. And if that's the future they're going to have, is it worth giving life to them? If you're just going to live in hell, is it better not to live at all?
Dr. Hsieh: Could you please talk about the birth?
Subject XXXX-01: [Sigh] I guess you wouldn't be able to understand.
Dr. Hsieh: I'm sorry, but I need to follow interview protocol. The birth?
Subject XXXX-01: There wasn't enough space to lay down in the bathroom, so I went to the kitchen instead. I figured tile floors were easier to clean up, but tile floors are like the least comfortable thing you cold possibly give birth on.
Dr. Hsieh: Okay.
Subject XXXX-01: I was scared of pulling more on the cord, so I stopped and tried to…you know, push the baby out, like how all the movies and stuff show it.
Dr. Hsieh: Right. Was there any trouble?
Subject XXXX-01: I mean…I guess not. I'm still here and I'm doing alright, anyways. But it still hurt like hell. When the head was coming through I actually thought that…that it might have torn my skin apart forcing its way out. I didn't want to look down, but I guess it was just pain. I don't think there's any lasting damage, anyways.
Dr. Hsieh: That's good, at least. Is this when you headed off to the hospital?
Subject XXXX-01: Yeah, as soon as I thought I could pull myself together I took the next bus I could to the hospital.
Dr. Hsieh: What did you tell them?
Subject XXXX-01: Well I told the front desk that I gave birth before I was able to make it to the hospital. I knew that nobody would believe me if I said "Yeah, I pulled out my tampon but it was actually a baby" so I said something halfway plausible.
Dr. Hsieh: Then what?
Subject XXXX-01: Well…I don't know what I expected. They looked at my record, and saw that I had no records whatsoever regarding pregnancies. So then they asked me, "Who's the father?". And I tell them I don't know, because fuck, is the tampon the dad? I don't fucking know, all I know is that I gave birth an hour ago and that isn't normal. But of course, the doctors go straight into…into criticising…how 'promiscuous' I was and…and they wouldn't believe me. I tried showing them the umbilical cord, how it ended in the string, but they just scolded me for pulling this 'unfunny prank' and how I should learn to be more responsible…
Dr. Hsieh: I'm sorry. Please have some tissues. It's not your fault. People have a difficult time believing in the anomalous.
Subject XXXX-01: I…you know, I want to believe that! I really want to just think, yup, it's because I pulled out a tampon and then it was a baby, how absurd is that? But I can't help thinking…thinking…well, how much faster would they have contacted your organization if I had been white? Would I still have had to throw a fit in the lobby as they were forcing me to leave so that the head doctor could overhear my issue? Or would they have calmly and collectedly passed up the memo?
Dr. Hsieh: I…I don't know, but I'm sorry that it had to happen—
Subject XXXX-01: I don't want to hear you apologize to me! I want to hear that white nurse woman apologize for saying that I was probably a slut who would spread my legs for anyone! I want to hear my doctor apologize for accusing me of pranking him, and for the fact that my tears and distress meant nothing to him!
Dr. Hsieh: Please sit back down. We're not finished with the interview yet, I'm afraid. I feel for you, and I wish the world was a kinder place, too, but there's not much either of us can do about racial bias in the medical industry. Shall we continue?
Subject XXXX-01: …sure. Yes. I'm sorry for taking out my frustration on you. I don't even know you.
Dr. Hsieh: It's fine. I think it's justified that you feel strongly about the discrimination you've experienced, and I think it's much better than taking it lying down. Now…does the name M███████ S█████ ring any bells?
Subject XXXX-01: …why?
Dr. Hsieh: [sighs] We ran the tests. Genetically, that's the child's father. Do you know him?
Subject XXXX-01: …am I obligated to tell you?
Dr. Hsieh: [Pause] I can't force you to give me any information you don't want to, but I think it could help. We're trying to round up other instances, and maybe figure out who made the tampons. It might be very personal to you, but it could help prevent other people from experiencing the same thing you did.
[40 seconds of silence]
Subject XXXX-01: He…we used to date, a couple of years ago. But we broke if off after…well, afterhe faked, um, faked putting on a condom. We split the abortion costs half and half, which I guess is better than me paying for all of it. I…you know? I was so disappointed. So crestfallen. I couldn't trust him after that. He's probably the kind of guy who would ask the doctors to do a husband stitch without his wife's consent. I wish I could warn the person he's seeing now.
Dr. Hsieh: I see. I think I understand now.
Subject XXXX-01: Is it…is this about my abortion?
Dr. Hsieh: I can only guess, but it seems likely that there's some kind of cause-and-effect here.
Subject XXXX-01: [Pause] As fucked up as that is, I can't say I'm surprised. I had a feeling, that maybe…
Dr. Hsieh: It's regrettable, but people don't draw lines anywhere sometimes. At any rate, thank you for sharing. Just to be safe, I'll ask the doctors to give you a check-up before we amnesticize you. Is that alright with you?
Subject XXXX-01: Yes, I'd appreciate it a lot. And if I'm allowed to ask…what's going to happen to the baby?
Dr. Hsieh: Well, since you'll have no memory of the incident, we'll be keeping custody of it. We'll monitor it for any abnormalities as well.
Subject XXXX-01: You'll take good care of her?
Dr. Hsieh: I—We'll do our best. I promise.
Subject XXXX-01: Thank you.

The identity of Person of Interest 3955, creator of SCP-XXXX, has been confirmed to be 65-year-old (as of 2018) woman Chirstie Adinson. She lives alone in ████████, Alabama, and was raised as an Evangelical Christian. She has one 38-year-old (as of 2018) daughter, Miranda Adinson. Her husband, Richard Adinson, passed away in late 2015.
After reviewing the security footage at the CVS SCP-XXXX was reportedly purchased at, PoI 3955 was found suspicious. Foundation personnel were sent to investigate, and PoI 3955 confessed to creating SCP-XXXX. Afterwards, PoI 3955 was detained and sent to Site 93. Several more instances of SCP-XXXX were located in her residence. In addition, her diary was retrieved, detailing the motives and processes behind SCP-XXXX.
Though her creations are reminiscent of Are We Cool Yet works, PoI 3955 is currently unaffiliated with any known Group of Interest. Unlike many in AWCY, PoI 3955 seems oblivious to her role in the creation of the anomalous tampons, instead believing that a religious miracle brought them into existence.
Addendum XXXX-01: Subject XXXX-01 was monitored after her amnestication and release from the Foundation. No further anomalous effects were observed; however, Subject XXXX-01 exhibited symptoms of postpartum depression.
