ObGyn Reacts: She had a baby at work? 

Hey friends. RU-vid messed something with the audio sync on this video about 4 hours after I uploaded. I’m working on getting it fixed, but I may just remove and reupload. Apologies. Thanks for checking out Skillshare in the mean time.

Can we give props to the guy being like "poor dieting and lifestyle choices WE had made" and not "her poor dieting and her choices" 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼

I gave birth at 29 weeks (1.3 kg) to a baby who didn't cry, he gave devastating side eye, sighed, and scowled. Like he was born a 80yo with a tragic backstory. Kid is 12 now and hasn't changed too much.

One of my friends had a baby; right after, they put the baby up on her chest and she said "he doesn't look like me, I don't think he's mine" and the OB was like "he is literally still attached to you" because they hadn't cut the cord yet.

I had an unplanned home birth, and I remember my husband saying, "I think you need to take your pants off." Calm as could be. It never crossed my mind! I was occupied. 🤣

Another possible, maybe is that woman in 1945 knew she was pregnant, but had miscarried and then got pregnant again soon after and just assumed she was pregnant the entire time.

i haven’t had sex in 18 months but this show still makes me worried i’ll have a positive pregnancy test lmfao

My sister didn't know she was pregnant. (6 years ago). She called me at 10 PM that she is in pain, I called an ambulance for her, and I went with her boyfriend to the hospital, we found out she was in labor. Her boyfriend was almost fainting, was attended by some nurses, then I called my mother. I told her what is happening, and she fainted as speaking on the phone with me... I run home, I found her in the hallway collapsed. I called my neighbor, she is a nurse, she helped me with her. ... I wasn't sure if I should tell her again the news or she remembers! It was quite a day, funny now, not so much then.

Can we talk about the way the dad speaks and how sweet and supportive he is to his girlfriend? he even said "WE didn't make healthy choices" so sweet. 🥰

I loved that you touched on the "push through it" mentality in the US. It's pretty toxic. Also, as a woman who has seriously bad periods you are expected to work and "a period isn't an excuse" not to (yes, I've been told that and heard female bosses say that about female coworkers). The fact that that mentality spilled over to a woman in labor is just sad. the US needs to do better.

I just throw a shout out to that very responsible young couple for treating this whole situation as theirs and not as each individual. 🙌🏻🙌🏻 Its a lot more maturity than most 30 year olds I’ve encountered.

I think the fact that that "year+" pregnancy happened during an overseas war when a lot of husband's were away from home for extended time periods might go a little ways to explain the length of that pregnancy

When you said period pain shouldn’t interfere with your life I felt so sad… I spent two years with pain so severe I would faint at school. You could hear me screaming in pain from outside the building when I was in the Nurse’s office. I couldn’t walk, felt like I couldn’t breathe, and my skin would so grey and sweat and shake like I’m fevering. I would throw up and get the runs. The nurses never said anything but would send me home. My mom refused to take me to the gyn for 2 years because she “didn’t want me on bc” and she knew they would put me on it. Everyone just said I had bad periods. Turned out I had an ovarian cyst the size of a small lime……

I had a baby that didn't cry. He just looked around all disgruntled and started nursing. All before the cord was cut. He was an incredibly easy baby. He's still an easy kid. He just never shuts up. 😆

My goodness I started crying when she said she called her family and “they weren’t having it”. Whew my family is dysfunctional in a million ways, but none of us could ever do that. How heartbreaking. I’m glad his family didn’t react that way, hopefully her family has come around. Such an interesting episode.

When I had my baby (I knew I was pregnant, I was 40 +3, I was in labour, in a hospital's delivery suite) the midwife caught her then handed her to me. And I said, very surprised: "it's a BABY??" Maybe I thought I was gonna birth a fruit basket, idk. The midwife was so professional and didn't even laugh, just said "you've got a beautiful baby girl"

He didn't choose to end the 911 call, he couldn't get a signal in the stock room, so he had to end the call to go back to his girlfriend. He did amazing , all considered.

“Period cramps should never interfere with your normal day-to-day functioning.” Holy shit, what?????? I’ve been taken out for 2-3 days/month for the last 15 years and I’ve told multiple doctors and they said it was normal. I’ve even been taken to the ER because my cramps were so bad that I collapsed and was hypothermic, but it was always brushed off.

Nothing pi$$es me off more than a doctor who REFUSES to consider that a pregnancy didn't start 14 days after your last period. Thank you for setting the record straight on that stupid trivia question.

My daughter was my 3rd baby and first premie. She was born at 33wks and the L&D team prepared me for her not to cry because according to their tests (I guess they were testing the amniotic fluid for lung tissue) her lungs weren't developed. When she was born she was quiet for about 30 seconds then she wailed. She had such a strong cry and it made me cry. She literally only stayed in the hospital for 3 days. She was born a week before Christmas, at first they didn't expect her to come home until after new years, then after Christmas, then she got to come home before Christmas. My mom made a special big stocking baby blanket for us to bring her home in. Best stocking stuffer ever!

"Period cramps should not interfere with your normal life"...I didnt expect to be called out this badly Mama Jones haha

Back when I was pregnant with my eldest kiddo, I knew a very sweet girl. She was very excited and told me she would love to help me out with the baby once they're born, and she also told me she wanted to have a baby but couldn't due to some problem with her uterus. Not long after that conversation she went to the doctor for a problem with her foot and found out that she was 8 months pregnant. She ended up giving birth before I did 😅 I haven't really spoken to her since but I hope she and her baby are doing well

As to the reason he wasn't staying on the call with 911, it mentioned earlier in the video that he didn't have cell reception in the mall. I imagine he didn't want to be on the call any longer than needed, because time on the call was time away from his struggling girlfriend.

I remember thinking that when my daughter was born that something was wrong because she wasn't crying right away, but I could literally see her little newborn face scrunch up and her little eyes cracked open slightly before she finally started crying. I guess she just needed a moment to judge the world for five minutes before letting out her disapproval. Lol

The negative pregnancy test when actually pregnant happened to me and there was no denying I was pregnant. I was 4 months and already showing and my daughter was moving. The doctors where completely confused and did 5 test and they all came up negative. They made me come back the next day at 7am, I was not to drink anything before hand and finally after 2 more test they got the positive one. Sadly due to me being military I had to have the positive test for paperwork. But for my other kids it popped positive after 3 weeks pregnant.

After giving birth in September, I truly understand when you say how scary it must be to go into labor without knowing you’re pregnant. That pain is insane. I would have ABSOLUTELY thought I was dying!

Hey Mama Doctor Jones - Can you react to this show that’s really similar to I Didn’t Know I Was Pregnant it’s called My Crazy Birth Story. Basically these moms have their babies in the most random locations like a supermarket or a movie theater or what have you, The only differences they already know that they’re pregnant and are not expecting themselves to be in labor so it’s a surprise. PLEASE REACT MAMA DOCTOR JONES!!

This has to be the sweetest couple on the show. Both of their reactions to everything that happened is so adorable. Their way of laughing and commenting on the insane situation made me smile. The fact he said “WE weren’t living a heathy lifestyle” by sharing the responsibility is also beautiful to see.

This was always one of my biggest fears, not knowing I’m pregnant and going into labor. Like suddenly you have a baby, no crib, no car seat, no clothes, no diapers, and very likely not in possession of a few hundred dollars to just drop on baby stuff like that. Heck, I’m 15 weeks right now and I still can’t afford anything 🙃

My wife (an awesome doctor) has had a rough day, she'll be so happy that you've posted. Keep being awesome and providing an oasis in the desert for tired doctors!

As someone who has severe menstrual cramps (nausea, fatigue, body aches) it IS NOT NORMAL! I was 27 before someone took my symptoms seriously and it turned out I had endometriosis.

Strange stuff DEFINITELY comes out of your mouth post birth. I asked my husband 'who said we can have a baby?!' While holding him 😂

As someone with Dissociative Identity Disorder and deals with dissociation a lot - the power of dissociation is extremely powerful. I have no doubt they would say 'are you sure that's mine?' or go through something like this and not even believe that it even happened to you... this would be a nightmare scenario for something unexpected... to me, with the things that I've had to go to therapy for - this feels so completely natural. I feel for her. Wow.

Re: work culture in the US: I've worked retail for years, and it's definitely sick the way we're treated. I've had managers who refuse to let us call out or take time off, and would retaliate when we did. HR is part of corporate, and rarely investigated deeper into complaints and situations. I used to have crippling periods, to the point of going into shock, and I'd still push myself into at least trying to go to work, and hoping I'd have a more sympathetic manager that day so I could ask to leave. It was wild to me at my last job that when I was found hunched over in pain, my manager offered me pain medication and encouraged me to go home. She straight up told me not to come in again until I felt better and wished me the best. I was fortunate enough to not be in a position where each hour worked mattered, but a lot of people don't have that luxury. Thankfully, my period is mostly sorted (an ablation reduced the pain to mostly normal, but it can still hit a 7/10 and be resistant to pain interventions) and I'm working with my doctor for a total solution. But, it's definitely insane the way work culture is structured here.

I love that guy for supporting her when he thought it was menstrual cramps. I have heard so many stories of guys telling women to suck it up because menstrual cramps are normal that this guy’s support is refreshing to see

I had a friend with very severe endometriosis and she had a home birth. After delivery she said it just felt exactly like her menstrual cycle which is INSANE to me. She just lives with labor pain once a month and often just muscled through it. I’m glad labor was at least familiar though she said bc it was so normal of a feeling for her that she was very calm and it was easier for her to get through.

I started using that quote in my every day life “you do the best you can with the information you have.” I love it.

Using the date of last period as the first day of pregnancy also fails in the case of traveling spouses. My mom was overseas when she had her last period before coming home and becoming pregnant with me, so she took issue with the suggestion that she became pregnant when she was a few thousand miles away from her husband.

My first pregnancy was just over 43 weeks, and his placenta was calcified and “half dead” according to my OB nurses. They told me we probably had days before it stopped working, so the thought of someone having a healthy baby at more than 52 weeks is…. No.

I would never have believed it was possible to not know you were pregnant so far into the gestational process until it happened to a friend of mine who already had 3 kids. She said the fetus never moved, she wasn't morning sick. Was still taking BCPs. She said finding out was both a shock and a relief because she went to the doctor thinking the belly bloat was a tumor. Baby was born totally normal.

7:21 My best friend used to have horrible debilitating periods to the point where she’d just end up crying on the floor in the middle of school (which must’ve been super bad since she has high pain tolerance) and so she went to the doctor and now she’s on birth control and she seems SOO much happier now

My dad has always told me to take care of my body as if I was pregnant because my sister didn't know she was pregnant until she was 7 months, she looked fit & still had her period until 7 months that's when doctors told her that the baby had a diaphragmic hernia & they had to perform a C-section & do surgery on the baby. She named her daughter Destiny who is now a beautiful young intelligent woman in her 20's.

When I was pregnant with my first son...I felt like I was dying and I had a urine test, and blood test every month for four months....and every month they said it came out negative. At the end of my fourth month I was so sick I went to get checked and they actually found out I was pregnant by listening to my stomach with a stethoscope ...with my second son,they did a different kind of test to see if I was pregnant ....

Working in law enforcement myself you are correct. The 911 dispatcher would give instructions over the phone and try desperately to keep him on the phone. But he may have hung up because he has no signal in the storage room.

I had x-rays, appointments, tests and everything else. I kept saying I was pregnant. Doctors said no. It was negative. Suddenly a positive in September. He was born November 3rd. I told them I was pregnant in April!!!!! April to September I was 🤪

I really appreciate in this episode they cover quiet babies, especially the part where her baby was quiet after he cried. My baby was so quiet those first few days. He only made little fussy noises when he was hungry. Otherwise, he was silent and content. It was so weird lol.

I love these so much! I would heavily recommend the “Baby at a Rest Stop” episode. They get the real 911 call for the ep and it’s the first episode that was genuinely distressing for me to watch. The stakes were super high!

"Period cramps shouldn't be that severe" Well according to my last doctor I just need chocolate and peppermint and a good mindset ........she was a gem lol

I had 6 false negative pregnancy tests when I was pregnant with my son. Barely had a clinical positive.

I wish my Dr had ever paid attention to the fact that my sister and I were in the hospital every month at 12 and even the ER didn't recognize we had severe Endometriosis and PCOS! My mom was so furious as she also had both and never got a diagnosis until she was almost 40. I was 21 when I finally got the endometriosis diagnosis. It took 9 more years to get diagnosed with PCOS! The ambulance taking 30+ minutes is ridiculous unless there was a major MVA or natural disaster. Both could've died with a wait that long. Good thing it wasn't any emergency or anything!

My menstrual cramping was as bad as described around 7:47. I had 7 OBGYNs tell me it was normal. The pain stopped when I started the Depo shot, which caused my period to stop completely. After so many telling me it’s normal, and seeing so many publicly saying it’s not normal truly concerns me.

@17:36 MDJ's reaction made me cry. Empathy is the most beautiful thing a human being can have, and seeing it always makes me tear up

MDJ, can I just thank you for your constant assurance that we do the best we can with the knowledge we have? Unrelated to any gynaecological issues, I’ve needed this regularly in the past year. Last year, at the age of 32, I was finally diagnosed with ADHD. I’m learning coping techniques and trying different medications. For years I have blamed myself for not being able to pull my self together like other people do. And now my mother blames herself for not understanding how much I’ve struggled throughout my life. But this is where I take courage in these words. We did the best we could with the information that we had. Twenty years ago, when I would have benefited from a diagnosis, no one really knew anything about the “quiet” ADHD in some girls. It was associated with hysterical boys hanging from the ceiling. Now, we know what I’ve dealt with, and we can work from here. I try to comfort my mum regularly with this. It’s become my little mantra in life. So far, I have no need for “pregnancy test, pregnancy test, pregnancy test”, but “you do what you can with the information that you have” has come to mean so much to me. Thank you! 🙏🏻

"We do what we can with the information that we have" is applicable to so many things in life. I try to remind myself of this often! Thank you, MDJ! ❤

So heartbreaking that her family wasn't supportive. My family is SO unsupportive in SO many ways but if my Teen/YA self brought home a baby I didn't know I was carrying, they would ABSOLUTELY be all over that baby.

Mama Doctor Jones I loved your comment about how periods and menstrual pain shouldn't be affecting your life in a negative way, I just wish more doctors were like you. I've been trying to get answers since I was 15 about my painful periods. It took until I was 30 to get a suspected diagnosis of bowel endometriosis, and I'm still waiting for surgery and treatment. I got every pill thrown at me, comments like, "It's all in your head", "You're just unlucky", "Once you have a baby things will improve". I spend every day of my life in some kind of pain, whether it's back pain, ovary pain, pelvic pain so bad that I can't sit normally or walk without crutches. And I've spoken to hundreds of women who have had very similar experiences. I wish we weren't dismissed just because we're women.

I knew I was pregnant at 6 weeks. When I gave birth and they handed me my baby, I also thought "Whose baby is this?!" I don't know why but that was my first thought.

I love how he reacted like a Sims 4 dad!!

"You do the best you can with the information you have" has become one of my life mottos. I don't like mottos much because they are typically overly positive but this saying is so realistic and reassuring that I say it all the time now. My mom especially gets upset a lot about the past and how I was mistreated by doctors, how that lead to her not pushing further for diagnoses. I tell her this exact thing and it helps her. It also helps me come to terms with my past.

The only pregnancies I’ve heard of lasting over a year were non viable and the babies were like metastases or something like that

I woke up in excruciating pain one morning a couple years ago and still went to work. I worked 2 hours and I couldn’t handle the pain plus I started bleeding REALLY bad. I left work and went straight to the hospital where they told me I was about 13 weeks pregnant. Then come to find out I had a tubal rupture and had been bleeding internally for hours. I went straight to emergency surgery where they had to remove the ruptured tube and ovary, since the rupture destroyed my tube too. The scariest and most painful moment of my life!!

You gotta have merch with that, “you do the best you can, with the information that you have”- said by Mama Doctor Jones

omg that kitten blooper 😂 as an owner of a 8 month old kitten, I can say with confidence that they will learn not to pee on random things eventually lol. But if they do, they always get away with it by being as cute as can be 😂

Yeah, I know how awful it is to know you're going to be alone in that type of experience. I did it at sixteen but what got me through it was 1) The housemother at the home for unwed girls, 2) Other girls in my situation. Thanks to them I was able to build a family. Thirty five years ago and we're still family!

Oh my goodness, I'm crying from emotion but also laughing at "Oh snap--we're having a baby." 💗

Working from home has been an absolute blessing for days when I'm sick or have my period. It's so easy to fake "being in the office" by just keeping my computer on and checking my emails, and I can catch up on the work easily when I'm feeling better. These last few weeks I've had the absolute worst case of diarrhea in my entire life, and it would have been so embarrassing in the office, but at home no one even has to know. I never wanna work away from home ever again! But if I ever do have to work in person again, I think more flexible hours and a better work culture would go a long way. My hope is that COVID put the fear of God into people and makes everyone actually respect sick days.

My first baby was very quiet, we had a very quick delivery my poor dad only just got out of the room in time! I think that she and I were in total shock, she hardly made any sound, didn’t open her eyes or anything for about 8 hours. Then she’d did a massive poop! Started to cry and feed properly and was fine! My second baby, head came out covered in 4 inch long hair turned, opened his eyes and started crying before his body was even out! And he hasn’t shut up for the last 10 years!!

I'm so happy to watch this because I found out I was pregnant today 😁 only took 8 months of trying

I knew I was pregnant, had a planned c-section, and still, when I heard my son cry for the first time I was like "oh someone just had a baby thats cool birthday twins" and then they showed me my son and it took me awhile to really grasp he was mine. It's crazy how your brain can respond to anxious situations 😅 Edit: I would like to add for those who don't know c-sections are done in like 5 minutes flat, I had gotten in the OR at 8:07 am and the had gotten the anesthetic in my back and did the cutting into me to get him out for him to be born at 8:15 am like no time to process at all and I was shaking with anxiety

My male doctor told me when I was in high school that it was normal to have periods so bad that I could hardly move and that there was no way to test for a hormone imbalance. It wasn't until the end of college when I got on birth control that I finally had some relief

This was probably my favourite episode, I love that they had the conversation about their future with the baby and how their families reacted - not something that they usually depict in the show.

“period cramps should never interfere with your day to day life” i think i might have to go to the doc xD love the content Dr. Jones, you inspire me to be a OBGYN one day too! ❤️

I absolutely love that after delivering so many babies you still get choked up about how cute each baby is! (My firstborn was in NICU and one of the nurses commented that she was a really sweet baby. “You say that about all the babies,” I joked. “No!” she said, “Some of them are real pickles!” We still laugh about that 30 years later.

Really glad you brought up if people are having periods that interfere with their lives, they should probably speak to a doctor. I didn't have bad cramps but my period just made me really dang miserable so I would skip going to class at least one day during that week. My GP didnt want to put me on birth control because I "didnt really need it" (i.e., I didn't need it for birth control purposes) and she said birth control wouldnt really help, so I went a couple more years before speaking to my endocrinologist (for my diabetes care) and he got me on birth control. Man, my periods are so much better. I cant believe I went so long without it and I am kinda salty that I wasn't put on it when I originally went to my GP

I love how you always remind us, that we are doing the best we can with the information we have. 🙏🏻

This couple seems so wonderful together, so supportive of each other, and that gives me so much hope. I'm so glad that everything worked out well for them and I wish them happiness!

If I hadn’t known that I was pregnant when I gave birth I probably would have asked if the baby was mine as well. I didn’t have a traumatic birth but I dissociated pretty bad for a while. So I can totally see how she didn’t understand completely.

When coming off the pill (because I wanted to get pregnant) it took a while for my hormones to settle, which resulted in some rather long cycles. So if I was to calculate the length of my pregnancy from the latest period I would have been pregnant for more than 11 months. It resulted in a few very interesting days, when I found out that I was pregnant but had no idea HOW pregnant.

My reaction to my baby being born was also something along the lines of "baby? Huh, there's a baby!" Because it happened pretty fast (I arrived in the delivery suite at 10cm and baby was out within 18 minutes) and I'd been concentrating so much on breathing and dealing with each contraction that I didn't even spare a thought for the fact that I was about to have a baby 😂

My periods have always interfered with my life and no one took it seriously until a year and a half ago when I started having (what we now suspect to be) endometriosis pain. I wish all doctors were like you. This was an interesting episode for sure!

When I was a teenager my period pain WAS like this, I felt a contraction-pushing feeling, it was completely debilitating and I’d never had sex so I couldn’t have been pregnant lol, the periods were just that extreme

Advice on the cat, as i raised like 20 orphan kittens during my life: put the paper in the litter box, check if they hate the litter and stuff. They recognize and go to the smell of their urine. Also use color activator to clean the places where he did the deed and shouldn't have.

My last period was December 2019, got pregnant in April 2020, and had my girl early January 2021 😁 some would say I was pregnant for over a year, but I have pcos, so nothing uncommon happened here 😂

I think I've said this before, but as someone who works in a lab I urge anyone relying on lab test results to always be skeptical of lab error. It's not common, but it does happen. I've even encountered errors (that I or a coworker (during my shift) caught) that were potentially deadly (and one in particular from my memory involved a labor and delivery patient). These errors are typically in the form of a mislabeled specimen, but can result in SIGNIFICANT damage if not caught/confirmed by repeating the analysis (say, a wrong blood type, or a critically high glucose level, etc). This is especially important in cases where the results don't match the clinical symptoms. As an extreme example, I actually once was involved with the care of a patient whose potassium level came back as high enough that their heart probably shouldn't still be beating. The problem? The patient had zero EKG changes/cardiac symptoms, and was in the hospital for a totally unrelated reason (think like, a broken bone). I believe the test was ordered for surgical clearance, and as soon as the physician saw the result, they immediately suspected something was wrong (and thankfully stopped the care team from initiating a hyperkaleamia treatment order set (I'm talking oral kyexolate AND intravenous insulin/glucose because of how high the result was, and likely an emergency dialysis consult) before verifying the result). Turns out, the patient just had a weird little quirk that resulted in the measurements of plasma potassium levels vs serum potassium levels to be wildly different (with the wildly high number being an artifact of the testing methodology rather than a true case of hyperkaleamia). The patient was utterly normal (save for the broken appendage), it was the lab measurement that was errant. And thank goodness the physician had the neccessary acumen to suspect something was up before jumping to simply treat a number. For those curious, I changed a bunch of identifying info for the particular case for obvious reasons but search "pseudohyperkalemia" for an interesting read with the relevant information regarding the issue I mentioned. There's also "reverse pseudohyperkalemia," which is a less common cousin with different proposed underlying mechanisms where instead of serum potassium being incorrectly measured as extremely high (while plasma levels are normal) plasma potassium is errantly measured as extremely high (while serum is normal)

Your reaction to the True/False question 😂 Immediately no. Immediately no.

I really hope her family came to terms with it and are offering more support. No mom should have to go through that without love and support. At least she has a loving partner and his family. Respect to all single mothers out there who are doing it alone, you are champions.

Great episode, great that they considered adoption, and so sweet when he said "we can do it"

I love that you left in the interruption! It's so relatable to parent life. I'm in grad school with two young kids and have moments like this all the time.

at 1:50 the sound stops, then pics up again a few seconds later but now the audio and video is out of sync. It happened on firestick youtube app and on the full website on my laptop.

🤣🤣🤣 The interruption at the end was just priceless! In a way my mother was pregnant for over a year but, technically she was not. She had a c-section with my older sister and 2 weeks later after her checkup in which the doc told my parents they could resume normal marital relations she fell pregnant with me. So, 10 months and 2 days after my older sister was born I came into the world. Could you imagine?

I love your commentary (and channel in general). It's so informative. Keep being awesome!

Saying it again: Periods that cause extremely high pain are not to be dismissed. I had severe, long lasting, heavy cycles within the year of starting (age 13) and they just got worse. I had stage four endometriosis before any doc ever took me seriously (age 22) on how bad they were.

I took a pregnancy test when my period was like a day late, and it was negative. Still no period 3 days later, so I took another one, and it was a faint positive :)

My grandmother was pregnant for 10 months (1967) she was huge, my uncle was 19 pounds at birth, the doctors were 100% positive he was twins, when she reached her delivery date, the doctors just assumed they messed up her date and let her keep going until the babies were ready lol. But she was convinced her due date was already a late date, so when she was told to keep going, she was pretty pissed because she was done carrying him around lol. I know they kept her in hospital for 2 weeks even though there werent any complications. She had DID and that ended up being another traumatic experience, so they never really found out exactly what happened because her husband and other two kids werent allowed in there, but we do know they did a (potentially non consensual) tubal ligation…

This honestly felt like the most "real" story of all the "I Didn't Know I Was Pregnant" episodes. That was a rollercoaster! Also, Ponga peed on Visa paperwork? Of all the things to pee on?! lmfao!

May I just say that you've taught me to be kinder with your words like "we do what we think is best with the information we have at the time" might be a slight misquote but ily your content. It's so informative, scary but like kind doctors (like you) and nurses are just some of the best/coolest people on earth.

Man her partner is the guy you don't want around in an emergency 🤣

You get into a weird mindset when you're in labor. I didn't know who my baby was when they first lifted him up and I knew I was pregnant! My first thought when I saw him was "Who is that?". For some reason, I didn't connect that this tiny, slightly blue person they lifted up was my child. I figured it out very quickly, though!

They don't always stay on the phone with you. It really depends on their protocols. Most are EMD trained and under a medical director, but not all.

I am currently on break getting ready to start Y2. I am binge watching your channel. You are the most compassionate doctor ever. You feel for your patients, and you can see your genuine concern. I love your channel. ❤️
