Aria Alegna lol

yea she was dying in childbirth aha (edit) that wasn't supposed to come out as funny!

Lolll

No wonder the mom felt so sick. What if she wasnt sick at all and it was just heartburn and coincidentally the heartburn stopped after she drank the flower soup.

Probably why she needed that flower LOL

dang my mom messed up then

Just don't let them think of me

yea, it's tru...it's still a thing in places where superstitions rule. MANY people are highly S upersticious...and in villages or even modern towns or cities in certain regions where people think that way, it's still a very real concept(not just, "oh , don't look at ugly people" , but all kinds of things ranging from don't allow yourself to hear certain types of music-like leave if it's playing; All the way to, "don't think about unclean thoughts" for more than a few mins a day, if at all). You'd probly be surprised the things people tell to and make preggos actually do and/or say....lol.

Itzel Montalvo oh, please. lol.

In my country its still a thing that all moms believe until now! 😂😂

I thought that was special and showed they really were in case ppl couldn't tell. It'll be something they can share with their kiddos. Look, dear, your first RU-vid video!

Well it would support your belly too though, which I think would feel kinda good to me right now

My doctor told me at the end of a visit “Your diagnosis is the pregnancy condition.” Seriously just happened in the beginning of September. Peculiar choice of wording. But a funny inside joke my spouse and I have now!

My grandmother told me that when her grandmother was younger, when a lady was visibly pregnant she didn't go to church and it was said that "she got down" simply being stuffy church biddy code for "she was about to give birth, but anything suggesting private parts is vulgar so we say weird crap instead."

Believe it is true! My mum was pregnant with me during the middle of 1999 and everyone from my dad's village told her to hide her pregnancy because telling everyone will cause her to suffer miscarriage. I was born dead and brought back to life and my grand-aunt never let my mum forget it. Then her daughter, my aunt and godmother hid her pregnancy as she was told and she suffered a painful miscarriage and she couldn't ask for help because she feared that if whatever she was feeling wasn't already a miscarriage she would jinx it. My cousin Dimitris-Antonis was born without anyone telling us about it one day we got it the mail an invite to my cousin's baptism. She did the same thing with her first son, George-Stilianos too! Although I saw her during the beginning of her pregnancy and suspected it and I was right, I was the one who told my parents and we managed to save up money to be able to buy him a present and have money for the trip otherwise we would have been broke by the time his baptism would have come around. My mum was pregnant with my sister in 2004 and because she had already lost my brother as a stillborn she tried the whole "don't tell no one" technique yet by the time she was 5 months she stopped feeling ridiculous denying it since there was a belly and i was talking to the belly plus I wouldn't shut up about me becoming a big sister to anyone who had ears! 😂😂😂😂 So, believe that superstitions still have a strong hold in some parts of the world...Oh! FYI I'm Greek.

Yesss..... And that the word pregnant was to vulgar for on a tvshow

In the town my mom is from in Mexico, the pregnant women had to wear these decorative aprons that "hid" their bellies. Lol

I'm probably in the 4% I only was have back pain from sitting in like cars for too long. But laying down ah yes

i was one of 4% indeed i loved sleeping so much in pregnancy felt awesome

@@truvy_5544 I slept fine

Omg my husband takes care of our toddler at night and I wake up early to let him sleep in the morning. He's always like : how are you so tired? You sleep all night... WRONG. I wake up to pee 100 times, all my joints hurt, my legs hurt, my belly hurts, and I have heartburn. He says I should use the time left before the baby comes to sleep. Yeah, right, I'm trying! 😂

the ancient egyptians had it down tho

squishy potato I know but there was also a point in time in the old days were women used bleach to find out if they were pregnant it’s pretty accurate it works for me unfortunately I lost my second pregnancy early but it’s funny how people use these homemade experiments to find out if they were expecting

Yasmine X wasn’t it like u get certain seeds and pee on them and if it grow or not u pregnant. The Egyptians had everything down tbh😂😂👏👏

Not entirely I suppose, I think it was the time when babies with deformities were common and bc of that, many died young but yeah, it's a surprise they were even born.

jessica aguirre 😂

@Kat Wilson Propaganda? What "propaganda"? The worldwide recognised fact, factual after years of research, that breast milk is healthier for the baby?

@Kat Wilson i hope your baby isnt as stupid as you

Yes. Medically speaking and maternally... breastfeeding is ideal. But.... there are many reasons why many women cant or wont breastfeed and that is perfectly fine as well. I mean my mother gave birth to me at the age of 42. In her own words "my ducts were dust baby girl. It just wasnt gonna happen" So I was a formula baby. And I not only turned out just fine health wise, I am a highly intelligent and independent, happy woman who plans to formula feed her children as well due to my inverted nipples.

And now new moms are bullied into continuing to try no matter how poorly it works. Even if your kid can't latch right, regardless of getting all sorts of help from professional lactation consultants, and loses a ton of weight. Even if you're blistering and bruising and bleeding. Even if your kids' spit up is dark pink from ingesting so much blood. Even if the pain of it makes you break out in a cold sweat every time your kid acts hungry, and you cry from the pain as you try to feed/pump. Nope, breast is best, therefore if you don't, you're basically abusing your child. Sorry, future kids, unless things radically change with my body, you're getting formula. I was a formula baby, and I'm perfectly healthy. (No shame or hate for those for whom it worked, I'm happy for you, but the nutritional difference between breastmilk and formula is not worth the fear and excruciating pain 10-12 times a day. Moms have needs, too. We still matter.)

L. Hayes did you get your babies tie revised?

Lol ikr ? I know how to knit and crochet and I was looking at what she was doing like hmmm ?? What the hell is she doing ? 😂😂

Yeah that was super awkward. She's grinning like a crazy person while just wiggling the yarn around

That's an accurate representation of what I would look like trying to knit 😂

@@rad-ishradish9665 I think the doctor studies on both genders, just like modern days. But maybe.

Unknown User Yeah you so have a great point, yet the disgusting thing is that they were gender-biased back then

Men should never have an opinion on a woman's pregnancy. They do not know anything about it and it's HER choice and body. PERIOD.

J K Just in case breastfeeding doesn’t prevent another pregnancy for you.

Aneko Foxx YESSSSS!!!!

Lmao back then they were more conservative it was normal.

And this comment was 9 months ago😂

@@Someone-tm4qq this comment was almost 9 months ago....

Most affected were in other countries. I think this was talking about the US

It was sold in 46 countries but not in the US. It didn’t get FDA approved. Despite that an estimated 40 babies were born with thalidomide related deformities in the US, according to the New York Times, and a quick google search.

Maybe because this video is focused on the U.S. Thalidomide was banned there before it even came on the market I'm pretty sure.

I remember that i was once in Paris with my father and a man walked and had an arm much shorter than the other and his fingers were all deformed, it must've been in 2011 or something and the man looked like he was in his 30s.

Yikes I forgot about that

I HAD TO SCROLL FOR FAR TOO LONG TO FIND A COMMENT THAT ADDRESSED THIS!

I WAS LOOKING FOR A COMMENT SAYING THAT!

OH YES! THANK YOU!!

Kylee Aguilar I didn’t think she was doing it right! 😆

Hehe, but its okay. We don't have to know how to do everything exactly right all the time. 😉

just fiddling with some yarn and knitting needles that's the way to knit lol

BlueSwampyCraft well using the bathroom is perfectly natural as well, yet I don’t see any videos on that topic being made. No one other than you, your husband or doctor should have to care about your body.

The main reason people hid their pregnancies for so long was because miscarriages and stillbirths were so common, not really because people were ashamed of babies or a mom's body. Before recent times we really didn't know the cause of many miscarriages because we didn't have technology to figure that out. Even now many women wait until they're 13+ weeks along before saying anything because miscarriages before then are just so common.

Bridgett Mccraw OMG your name is spelled the right way! Two t’s no e, we exist!

@Agatha jay most of the women demonized aren't even nude and you can't even see anything. They're feeding their kids.

@Agatha jay some babies won't eat under blankets or from bottles, also maybe I don't wanna see you eat either? Guess you better eat on the bathroom

@Agatha jay also should cows and pigs and dogs and cats and goats and every other mammal wear a bra?? No?? Can men show there nipple?? Yes?? Why are human woman any difference than every other species and sex

@Agatha jay yew, we shouldn't wear clothes actually, it's undoing nature and (if you're religious) covering what god created, also for woman is better because her ACTUAL sexual body parts need to air out because warm moist places is wear bacteria grows

That's one overripe baby

Ayla Zelana Grebiel YES! I was thinking of this. It was huge. Surprised they didn’t mention it.

@@KikiMeowKitty They probably didn't mention it since it may be a sensitive topic for some people

S H lol. I'd pick knowledge/awareness/education about something over sensitivity in which leads to suppression of information.

S H so that would be sensitive but the effects of drinking alcohol while pregnant isn’t? Which they did mention. Don’t think that was it aha.

ItsJanay Umm... teen pregnancies are decreasing

morgz biggest fan ever That is true among the general population but in certain areas, teen pregnancies are still on the high in some areas. Like homelessness overall is lowering but it is still increasing in places like NYC & LA

ItsJanay like “16 and pregnant” and “teen mom”

That’s a common misconception, but teen pregnancies have decreased in the 2010s

They're falling actually. They also have always been a thing.

True that.

Yess!

******North America

Yeah these videos are based in the usa/thr west

Beatriz A. Moraes by America they mean the USA, you're talking about North America, which is the continent where America is located in.

I think it's because the effects of thalidomide were largely limited to Europe & Canada; thalidomide was never approved by the FDA in the United States, and thus only 17 cases of birth defects due to it were recorded. The video seems to focus on the US, being that they mentioned the baby boom.

Actually, Europe did have a baby boom, starting in 1946 for most countries. (Germany's started in 1955, but then it wasn't the soundest place to be raising kids right after the war.) And, yeah, I'm surprised they didn't mention it either--even if the numbers were small in the States, the fear wasn't.

Shealyne Anglin it’s a birth defect and infants who had it had no arms legs etc

DES was also a popular drug that came with lasting affects. Prescribed in the 1940s-late 1960s. I'm a DES granddaughter. They call it silent thalidomide

Was thinking the same

Especially the one from the 40s 😍

Yes....they are models

Mizzy Jaymes *extra gorgeous

Pregnancy is proof that you had SEX! LOL. Some people back then liked women to have the appearance of purity and virginity, even if they were married. Some people in society have hang ups about sex even to this day. I'm speculating, but I think that is what was going on.

look at the comments and all the people calling pregnancy gross and ugly, nothing has changed

@@emtims1670 A woman got pregnant. She was a virgin. She injected his DNA in herself. That's not a very pleasant process, but her daughter is so smart and cute. Toddler's grow up so fast.

Vitamins help, but it's really the progesterone that gives that glow. The vitamins just give the hormones something to work with, to give it that extra 'oomph'.

Society is always trying to push females down, cause "they" don't want us to know how powerful we truly are.

Sam Mia ynihn

Yep, except for me

I had practically no heartburn and my baby was born with dark shiny hair. My sis had it her whole pregnancy and my niece was bald for 2 years 😂

Exactly like wtf?

@@jarchiethesuperiorship7631 no one's ugly, stop

lexi 0-0 do you want an ugly baby?

Yet old people will tell us our generation is too sensitive and we censor everything. Meanwhile a married couple on television back in their time couldn't be shown sharing a bed, there was outrage when an interracial kiss was shown on Star Trek, and most shows were super vanilla because of all the sensitive/bigoted people.

I saw a woman breastfeeding her baby in public and I found it really interesting. Yes, she used a cover.

TV: ok, we’ll take porn, violence, and other stuff like that Also TV: NOPE can’t mention pregnancy!

Back then women and men didn't even sleep in the same bed...so yeah...

Christy Wakeen Cause it made people think of sex

Yeah right lol bisssh ain't nobody can afford having kids nowadays

And yet pregnant women and babies are everywhere #pregnant #andyesinthiseconomy

Yep in this economy do you think it just stops.

Felicia Exactly! Families need to stop pressuring people to have grandkids tbh. Income hasn't risen to meet cost of living in decades. Parental leave is near-nonexistent, daycare is prohibitively expensive, education is under-funded, and healthcare is so costly it's life-ruining debt. College is, too. AND access to birth control is under attack as well, to be able to make your own decisions about when/whether you have another kid. Above all, rhe political climate feels like there might not be anything to raise a kid in. Unless they're bankrolling it, they better get used to fur-grandchildren and showing off their great-grand-dachshunds 😂

Mia R. Depends on what country you live in. I live in Canada we get paid mat or parental leave. Our medical is also very good, they are working on making daycare more affordable for families, you are speaking more about the states. Which is so behind on this 🤷‍♀️

body image issues are normal though

I already have stretch marks without having been pregnant, so I expect I would just get more and that's it's not gonna be much different (stretch mark-wise)

Hmm... so is the baby born yet?

😂

I had zero heartburn and my kid came out with lots of hair. Cradle cap was a pain.

Lacey Ross and? no one should have to care about this comment unless they’re somehow involved in your life.

Sophie Van der Meer Why are you leaving mean and dismissive comments on everyone’s post? This is a comment section, people share. That’s how the world works.

Same here! Horrible heartburn everyday, bald baby. She didn’t get more than peach fuzz until she was two

Congratulations!! I hope you have a healthy rest of your pregnancy and a birth!!

Linds no not all pregnant women are beautiful. not all women are beautiful either. pregnancy is not some magical thing that makes people beautiful, it just makes them parents.

Sophie Van der Meer Incorrect. Beauty is something someone finds to be beautiful, ie charming, alluring, inductive of happiness. They find it to be beautiful, and so it is, for them. You don’t get to decide if something is beautiful.

Okay nobody on the internet needed to know that. But good job on announcing it and getting forced likes

Wow the comments are so rude.

@Awesome Lady You can't just talk someone's fear away, that's not how it works.

Living Dead Girl damn they're just trying to help

​@@randomgirl3492 I know, but I don't think she gets it. Let's say someone was afraid of snakes. I highly doubt anyone would tell them "Oh but snakes are great!!!111 It's so rewarding when you get to hold them!!1!11", and it shouldn't be different with any other fear. You can't just tell someone how great whatever their fear is, and then expect it to magically go away.​

Living Dead Girl Well, why not? They’re still just trying to help, I’m not obviously saying it’ll make it go away but it could help ease their fear of snakes, like saying, don’t worry your regular garden snake isn’t venomous, or snakes don’t arrack unless provoked. It isn’t exactly the same analogy, being able to hold your newborn child awakens something in you, it isn’t just holding it, that’s over simplifying, and for most people it’s true. It doesn’t matter if the fear doesn’t go away, trying to help it a bit is still better than feeding into it. So maybe if it does happen, when they go through it they may not be as afraid. No one said it would erase the fear.

@@randomgirl3492 I guess. I highly doubt that they'd be ok if it did happen to them, you don't exactly face your biggest fear and are suddenly not afraid. But you and I can agree to disagree.

I know right! But back then men were the ones who went to school more and got extra information.

That's true. It's just kinda ironic I guess.

CED Dance 101 it depends on the women.

Sure, but it's still very different on every women, so that one might know what happens for a handful of people

No, because it was apparently sinful for a woman to be interested in what her own body was capable of, so she was as clueless as when she was 8.

@@jennaelsammak7679 thanks captain obvious 😐

So you'd rather guess you're pregnant when you start feeling the baby move? Although weird, I think it was very useful for its time - otherwise it wouldn't be mentioned in physiology class. And the urine is injected inside a male frog's cloaca. If it starts releasing semen, not eggs, it means you're pregnant.

I don’t think that’s as “strong and progressive” as it is careless tbh

Annika Heydl it’s not strong? Im with you in saying I don’t think her walking in labor is “progressive” (although being pregnant and wearing lingerie totally is.) But really that doesn’t show she’s strong ?? And I would also like to ask if you know how many women go into labor and don’t go to the hospital for hours or are actually instructed not to go until a certain point by DOCTORS. Not to mention those of which don’t even realize they’ve gone into labor yet. Are they careless too? There’s also the rarer case where the mom never knew she was even pregnant until suddenly giving birth! I literally know someone this happened to! But you’re right, soo careless to do her job!

sparklyunicorn ditto!!

sparklyunicorn no one is trying to hide anything. frankly, we should be hiding a little more. Why is it a bad thing not to bother other people with what goes on in your body? but we just looove sharing nowadays don’t we.

Sophie Van der Meer My parents hid their pregnancy from me. I didn’t get to be excited for the arrival of my younger brother, or think of names for him, or imagine what he looked like. Neither did by siblings. All I got was an embarrassed call from the hospital from my parents, saying, “oh yeah, we had a baby”. I HATED that experience. For anyone reading this, don’t hide your pregnancy, or your partners pregnancy. It’s a beautiful, beautiful time, and it deserves to be shared.

You need your minerals/adrenals/thyroid checked out!

Wow, this same thing happened to me with my second. 2 years in and it's a little better but I'm still getting a TON of hair fall as compared to pre-pregnancy. I've had all sorts of bloodwork done, they say I'm fine, and basically since I still have hair and it ALL hasn't fallen out, I should just get over it. 😒
