ObGyn Reacts: Unconscious Birth - Didn't Know I Was Pregnant 

That’s what I thought too

Point is still the same. The baby is not slowly and irregularly breathing 😂 and If they are then I want to know why they’re doing Apgars at hospital (should be done in field at 1 min and 5 min after birth)

Lol I just commented this

@@MamaDoctorJones haha yeah not sure why they were doing it so late at the hospital. Maybe they needed to see if the med student in that rotation knew what apgar means haha (MS3 here and so thankkful for all of your content!)

I thought the same, but still wrong all around 😂

🤣🤣🤣

😂😂😂

😂

I feel like she should just call the producers if she's that hung up on it lol 😂

Would not a hole in her heart have been corrected? How long can she go on like that?

Nurse here - I once was on the phone with a patient who told me he was so dizzy he couldn't see straight, but decided to try to drive himself to the ER. He could have gotten a ride from his daughter or called an ambulance, but he want to "bother them." It's more of a personality thing than it is a healthcare system thing.

@@Apledore Many people don't realize, in the reenactment, she told her husband to stay home. He offered to take her to the hospital, but, She declined.

Yeah, that part really didn't sit well with me either. Knowing that she had that heart condition, she absolutely should not have considered driving herself to the hospital. And yes, we really do need to get our healthcare sorted. There's no reason that someone with a major health emergency should be asking themselves, "Will this bankrupt me?" when deciding whether or not to call an ambulance.

I don't care if you're scheduled to work the next day. If your partner needs to go to the hospital, you get your a** up and take them, especially if they already have a heart condition!

@@HSMfanatic17 Yeah, good luck doing that in states that can fire you on a whim. Now you've got huge hospital bills and no job.

she didn't even make it to a car in the first place XD

This was the best part.

​@@Koutouharashe didn't remember that. Last thing she said she remembered was locking the front door. I'd just assume the same thing had that been me.

And the "you're a mama! 😀"

I always laugh about that in these episodes because it’s like no really she didn’t just have an epidural lying around somewhere at home for her to use

I laughed so hard I know women who were not unconscious and didn't have a epidural or any pain medication. I mean it is possible.

um.... that IS the most unbelievable part! When I went into labor and walked into the ER I said "Hi, I'd like to have a baby. Give me drugs". HAHA.. Up until that point the strongest meds I have ever had was ibuprofen. I told them to give me the lowest dose possible and I should have said half the lowest dose because I was still halucinating. (I had demerol).

Right! I’m allergic to the epidural which is so much fun to find out in active labor. On with the story. So with my second child I didn’t have any medication and it was the easiest labor and delivery I’ve had with my 3 kids.

Plenty of people give birth with no meds they're acting like it's super rare

really good call out. The show's writers are so out of touch.

I can't give that comment enough likes. So much is wrong with that statement. Like, not every woman strives to the one and only thing of being a mom. But even if, most women don't want to have a child with just 20 years old.

"If you're past the age of 20 you're too old to have your first child!"

Yeah I caught that too: so terrible.

Yeah I didn't hear any mention of her wanting children, or feeling bad she shouldn't have them, or anything. They just assumed she had been pining for it all her 23 years of life lol.

If you think that attitude about birthing is modern you don’t know your history. People in the 1800s were literally given chloroform during labor. The Caesarian was invented centuries before the age of anesthesia. Henry VIII was buried next to his wife who died in childbirth because her son survived past infancy. The attitude of caring more about the baby than the person delivering is not new.

@@brandelynnefreleng7597 never said that it was...?

​@@brandelynnefreleng7597The only alternative to a C-section would've been to leave the baby inside, which also would've meant certain death for the woman. I think it was more a reflection of our lack of knowledge than hatred towards women. Men in the battlefields were getting limbs amputated without anesthesia.

She just didn’t get the information from the video. She didn’t say no one knew

​@@TheRentFanyou did say modern day...he was just pointing out that it's been happening a lot longer... because of your wording.

It took me around that time to also take a test .. my 1st sonogram was 13 weaks and I went 3 months without a period and it was lack of appetite that made me worried something wrong .

This is amazing! And congrats!

Congratulations!

Congratulations

This is making me think that I need to take one.

🤣🤣🤣🤣

🤣🤣🤣

It's like it didn't even try gasping for air and turning purple. You're never gonna make it in Hollywood, Annie!

🤣🤣

I said the same thing when I was the one giving birth.

"I don't know nothin about birthin babies, Ms Scarlet, Ms Scarlet" , (Gone With The Wind)

I would have called 911 as a police officer might have been better to deliver the baby if I heard an EMT say this. I thought about Gone with the Wind when he said this.

🤣🤣🤣

😂🤣😂🤣

RIGHT such a stretch 😆

That baby probably grew up to play a high schooler on a teen show in their late 20s lmao

Dame Maggie Smith looked fantastic!

Yes! Condoms or pull and pray at the very least. And I swear doctors need to remind women when they give antibiotics to women on birth control that the medication could reduce the bc effectiveness. Like there were several mistakes made here, not just on the couple

@@AngharadMac yes I got pregnant the same way have an adorable 18 month old now!! I wish the doctor would have told me!

Seriously, "EVERY PRECAUTION." And just what was HE doing? Condoms, vasectomy? Nope, only the pill, and her with blood clots.

EVERY! ...Only uses one method lol 😆

@@CalmoOmlac Tubal Ligations are NOTHING like a Vasectomy beyond the fact that it is a sterilization surgery. That's where the commonality ends. Tubal Ligations are abdominal surgery and as with any major surgery come with a risk of blood clots... which... she already has. While they could manage it, I think I'd rather go on a progesterone only pill and have my partner use a condom. Vasectomies on the other hand, are minimally invasive, out patient surgery. You go in, have it done, and barring the extremely rare complication (like say a reaction to the local anesthetic, etc) you are sent home a few hours later. That's it. Vasectomies are VASTLY cheaper than Tubal Ligations (which can price many women out of getting them, even IF they have health insurance that will cover it) So if you're going to do permanent birth control and are married to someone who can't have a baby for medical reasons, it's really better for you to have the sterilization done.

I'm glad you tested! That's such a fun story! The irony of taking a test because you watched a video about someone not testing! 😆 How is your pregnancy going? I'm also pregnant and totally didn't think I was pregnant when I tested. It was only a week after my missed period, but my periods had been annoyingly irregular for about a year before that and I hadn't had any of my normal pregnancy symptoms which normally start upon conception, so I know I'm pregnant a week before I can even test. I made my husband get a pregnancy test because I felt a bit tired and sick and wanted to rule out pregnancy. And now I am 3 weeks away from having a baby! 😆 Life is weird sometimes!

Oh, wow!!! Well, congratulations!!!

That’s like if I took one and I’ve never even had intercourse lol! Seems your mind was one step ahead!

@@ThatOneLadyOverHere O hope you and your little one are well! Love from LOU and Marmite the pony❤️🐴❤️♥️🐴

Ahhhh congratulations!!! 🎉🎉🎉

Had me dying!😆🤣

you mean homing missiles 😂 congratulations on getting a family! My parents were told they couldn't have kids and yet they had two anyway lmao.

Not the ultimate swimmers 😭😭😭 happy for you!

I too was told my chances of conceiving were next to none and have 2. My kid's dad has another daughter with a woman who supposedly couldn't have kids. Some men just have the magic 😂

Every person I’ve heard of being told they can’t have kids whatsoever (several people) has all had multiple kids now. Why are doctors throwing that around so much these days?!

@@amandag4618 I was told the same and I have a beautiful daughter. Why they told us we can't have kids? Well I'm sure they never wanted to lie to us but giving false hope is equally bad. My husband's multiple semen analysis (1 every 3 months for 4 years) showed immobile, malformed sperms. I have PCOS with irregular periods, one ovary and one fallopian tube in the contralateral side and I have uterine fibroid too. So yes I understand why doctors told us we can't have kids but we have a daughter ❤.

Welcome to our life with epilepsy!

Yeah! Not to mention I’ve got chronic pain too, you’d absolutely strain my muscles if you tried to drag me somewhere (though I guess being unconscious makes them more limp lol). I’d be sore for weeks to come if not more.

I always try to warn people I’ll be ok just let me lay down and seize in peace please😅 best was working at subway as a teen they helped me lay down on the floor and ride it out then manager drove me home. Worst as riding in a car-not driving! on the interstate woke up in the grass in the medium with ambulances, police cars and paramedics all around omg I had a panic attack on top of it all-cost a fortune too they made me go to the hospital nothing they could do I told them that a million times been tilted strobe lighted ekg heart monitored for months had this for 10+ years I knew it was a waste of resources😬that bill hurt! Cost a fortune to shut down an interstate lane just so you know 😅 all I said was I needed to lay my seat down n pass out for a minute...she freaked out knowing my disorder and seeing it before...

that would be awesome!

I would LOVE for MDJ to try to get in contact with them and do interviews with them.

Yes! “Didnt know I was pregnant: where are they now?” or “Didnt know I was pregnant: More in depth answers we all want” 😂

Would be great!!

I think that one was her apgar score for respiration given the fact that she was 3 lb had underdeveloped lungs and was 10 weeks premature

@@abigaildavis606 definitely. But the baby they used to portray said score is completely opposite 😂 Like MDJ said…they should have used a doll or something lol.

@@lcn706 Right?! I even said to my hubby that was a full term baby in the reenactment lol :P

they would have to paint a baby to make it look as poor as the baby actually did … or use a doll like MDJ said

Resp 1: That baby was ready to get up and walk outta there.

I'm sorry to hear about your miscarriage. I know what you are going through. My youngest daughter had her 6th miscarriage. She had to carry her for a week before they induced labor. It was the one of the hardest things in our lives. The first one was when we lost my son and I had to give the D.N.R. order. And to turn the machines off. My daughter gave birth to our little girl. I won't say her name cause it's still painful it happened this passed March.

@@cindyjulian9534 Oh I am so sorry to hear that. I just got pregnant again and I am praying for a better outcome. I wish you and your daughter the best!

A medically induced miscarriage is a nicer way to say an abortion. I'm so sorry that you felt your best choice was to end your baby's life. I had an ectopic pregnancy between my 4th and 5th babies, and even though the baby was outside of my uterus and I was hemorrhaging, I felt so guilty and full of grief that there was no way for my little one to make it. Technically, I had an abortion that day, though I am as prochoice as they come.

@@michellemellis How dare you. There was no heartbeat and I could either wait for my body to miscarry on it's own and suffer more trauma or worse, or I could do it in a medical environment where I could be taken care of if something went wrong. I didn't end a life, there was no life to end. I chose the safer option so I could have a baby now. I do not believe in abortion and you have no right to say that several medical professionals were wrong. You need to listen to momma doctor Jones and be nice in the comments.

My aunt had 4 miscarriages in 6 pregnancies. She had 2 in a row at first and was very discouraged, but the third pregnancy gave her her son. Then she had 2 more in a row and almost stopped, but someone suggested the third time was the charm before, so she tried again and had a daughter. She had blighted ovum all 4 times which basically means there isn't a baby at all.

Literal Doctor strikes again! "It looks like she's dead." "WHAT?!" "Yeah, she's alive, but she's just laying there. Like a dead person."

Not pregnant...anymore.

😂

Says the doctor who drove herself to the hospital while in labour...

i’m feeling a watt pad potential here

😭😭 saaaame

I thought it was some kind of score, like Apgar's, or sort of...

I'd agree that they were doing the respiratory portion of the APGAR (1 = weak but not absent), but it's TLC so...

Oh so sad 😕 So sorry for your loss

Damn, that's tragic. So sorry 😐

That’s horrible. Imagine her mother’s regrets, telling her to ignore TURNING BLUE

How is turning blue and fainting normal?? We need much better awareness around health related issues in America (worldwide really). Or at least more affordable healthcare, b/c maybe her mum/fam didnt have coverage. RIP

@@forthesakeofsanity she had coverage. Her mother was the type to tell you if you aren't bleeding out, leave her alone. I was out of state for a few months so never saw the incidents and didn't witness how bad they were. I wish she had fainted in public a few months before. She might still be with us.

Haha. This is me. My husband had a vasectomy and I make him get checked every year and I still worry about getting pregnant every month. Pregnancy tests are not hard to come by people.

Tests cost money and the person clearly said she would normally go months without one. You plan to buy everyone tests?

@@RavenMenel You can literally get them at the dollar store. For a dollar. They're not fancy, digital, "here's a plastic handle so you don't touch pee," but they're exactly the same test. You just pee in a cup and dip a test strip.

My husband was told he was sterile and I got pregnant. It was low T and a bad doctor and not kleinfelters, though. So it wasn’t exactly a miracle. Just a poor understanding of some people’s naturally lower levels and how it affects fertility. But I agree, test! And yes, you can get tests for a dollar and they are just as good as the more expensive tests. The only thing is you have to do the dip thing and they aren’t digital. But they are just as accurate.

@@pygmybugs walmart has them for 88 cents!

What was the name of the play?

@@brandelynnefreleng7597Birth Witches. The premise was male doctors trying to replace midwives in the early 1600s

Squirting out children is my new favorite phrase.

You'd be surprised, I spoke with e.r. nurses who'd rather have an accident victim with injuries than a woman giving birth. Once a nurse tried to grab me out of the chair in the e.r. while I was having a contraction, she couldn't wait to get me out of there 😆

This give me so much hope as I'm half way through my pragancy....lol

"Get ready to catch" lol

@@Freedom-nu5kp To be fair, the reason EMS has like 5 things to do is because everything else is taken care of at the hospital lol Most of child birth is outside of our scope of practice, but not theirs. So I get it in that case.

I get nauseous all the time and I’m not pregnant, sucks!

Same!

🤣🤣🤣❣ Nausea started BEFORE Mr Sperm even had a chance to find out Ms Egg's name!

yea i hurled from morning to night for 7 months! had to go to the hospital several times to stop it & hydrate. i didn’t enjoy any part of my pregnancies 😒 had 2 girls & demanded a tubal at 23! never regretted it either 😊

I'm freaking INFIRTILE and every time I get my period, it's like the entire first trimester of pregnancy is just curb stomping me into oblivion. I puke, I'm in extreme pain, I feel like a hippo, and I'm usually straight suicidal because the hormones activate psychotic episodes from my mental disorders. It can range from a single day of weird bleeding to 2 weeks PLUS of extreme bleeding and fatigue so bad I almost pass out several times a day. You'd think I'd get used to it after 15 years of this, but it's gotten progressively worse with time. I'll I've got is a PCOS diagnosis and they constantly try to ram birth control down my throat, claiming it will, "help." Remember those mental disorders I mentioned that seem to be DIRECTLY affected by my hormone levels? Well, if I take anything that will affect my hormones, there's about a 60/40 shot that I'll end up suicidal. So, my choices are pain or death.

I came here for comments like this because it might mean ive spent many years thinking incorrectly. Maybe its a UK/US thing but doctors here just immediately blame the antibiotics, i didnt realise how much so at the time but now i see so many lazy assumptions (im a frequent flyer 🤦🏻‍♀️). But i got surprise of my life 13/14 years ago, unfortunately the surprise was the sudden unexpected loss, not much fun. But i was so naive about the BC pill, i now have a chronic migraine disorder ever since i started the pill, took two years of horrendous migraines before my doctor realised she was treating me for both migraines and managing birth control stuff and finally put two and two together 🤦🏻‍♀️ i had no idea they could cause migraines 🤷🏻‍♀️ but at that time i had a jaw abscess with took a week of low dose amoxicillin, then a week of stronger amoxicillin and then a week with a combination of amoxicillin and metronidazole before the jaw abscess began to heal. But ive always been led to believe it was those antibiotics that caused the birth control to fail 🤷🏻‍♀️ i was also on citalopram at the time. I know i didnt miss any as all were dated. Im just curious now! I really wish i had the intelligence to have been able to go into medicine in some capacity, although my own chronically poor health and after 11 years im still no closer to a diagnosis, maybe lupus... Thats what next tests will be for... At this point... Id laugh if i was right again 🤷🏻‍♀️ ive so far diagnosed myself with everything 1-2 years before my doctors finally got there (if i said i believed it was something then they would laugh me out the door after accusing me of malingering and relying on Dr Google). Im perfectly capable of using Google to get reliable information and stick to medical journals, reports, articles, studies etc. I have a lot to think about now! Not great at 2:30am 😂

I regularly ask my pharmacist questions about my meds and once I was like "I'm sorry if this is a stupid question, but...." and he cut me and said "let me stop you right here, there are no stupid questions ESPECIALLY when it comes to your health. I'd rather hear the same question 100 times per day than having someone make wrong assumptions or being too embarrassed to ask and them having health issues as a result of that. So, what is your question?" Pharmacists are underrated!

One of my nursing instructors was a nurse and a pharmacist, y’all rock! Smartest people I know are in pharmacy!

A friend of mine had rapid onset hypoglycaemia (due to diabetes) while driving, at 8 months pregnant. She crashed her car and was in a coma during labour. I can't even imagine how you would feel to wake up and find out you missed it

@@gingerninja2487 The first usage of anesthesia during childbirth was chloroform. It became popular after Queen Victoria used it in 1850. In the US it was called the “Twilight Sleep” and women would be unconscious or have next to no memory of delivery. The RU-vid channel Today I Found Out has a good video on it.

@@hilarys3405 i find that disturbing

@@gingerninja2487 Yes, 100% disturbing. But when birth control wasn't prevalent and you are looking at your 8th childbirth I can understand why people would consider it.

@@gingerninja2487 it was especially bad in cases where the baby died. At that time they would often not let parents hold the deceased baby, so you would be put out in labor thinking everything is normal, and wake up with your baby gone forever like they were never there, compounding the trauma

😂😂😂

And every time she walks past the stain on her new carpet, she remembers again.

🤣😂🤣😂

She was a good neighbor and ultimately saved Ashley's life ♥ I wish I had neighbors like that.

Thank god she didn't mind her own business and call for help!

I lost weight and was about the same weight when I had mine. A healthy baby girl

My grandmother only weighed 110 when she went into labor with her first child and she'slike 5 foot 7 and not small boned. The nurse saw her stomach and went "well where's the baby?" and she replied "oh it's in there"

This is why it kills me when moms irresponsibly gain 100lbs+ talking about "it's totally healthy cause it's all baby weight!" 😑 girl, that baby weighs at MAX like 9, *maybe* 10 pounds, and you have maybe another 8 to 12 lb of placenta and amniotic fluid and whatnot. The rest of that is 100% the result of you eating for 1 + a circus 🎪 instead of 1 + a circus peanut 🥜, which is what that baby was the majority of your pregnancy 😅 and this is from a mom who, at NO point during any of my 4 pregnancies in 9 years, could not see my own feet... I gained 23lbs (with a 7.7 baby @ 39 weeks), 21lbs (6.8 @ 34 weeks), 26lbs (8.8 @ 42 weeks), and 16lbs (4.12 @ 32 weeks) respectively. It is entirely possible to birth a baby and still take care of yourself and be responsible with your health. So many moms choose pregnancy as a time to totally let themselves go and eat whatever they want, whenever they want, to massive excess, and then spend years complaining and guilting the kid over how much their body changed "because of the baby" when reality, it was because of their own gluttony and poor self-control. Gaining too much prenatally predisposes your children to obesity, diabetes, and all kinds of childhood illnesses, and is literally as irresponsible as smoking or drinking during gestation, but nobody says anything because they don't want to hurt the mom's feelings 🙄 and then the poor kid has to run around hearing their whole life how their mom "had a perfect body" before them and "they ruined it," which is totally crap for that kid.

Had a few friends with surprise babies actually because they were ballet/models and had quite a low BMI, they never had periods so never checked for pregnancy. WILD WORLD.

I had HG and lost 30lbs while pregnant. I was completely naked while giving birth at 38+4 weeks and my doctor was shocked that an 8lb, 2oz baby came out of me.

100%!!! It’s winter here right now. If this happened on a night where it’s -20 degrees or colder, I would probably move her somewhere warm so she doesn’t get frostbite or hypothermia. 🤷‍♀️

In first aid one of the biggest things you learn is not to move someone with an injury, ESPECIALLY a possible or suspected head/spinal injury, unless you have to. And even then, there are special maneuvers you learn to move a conscious or unconscious person to minimize risk of further injury.

@@shannonforsberg4118 In first aide you learn that your goal is to minimize harm to both you and the victim. If it's safe where you are don't move them but if they are in danger by all means move them. There are ways to prevent head and spine injuries yes but staying in an unsafe environment is helping no one.

@@LunaML and there are criteria for determining if it's unsafe or not, I guess that's why MDJ was so annoyed--nothing was properly explained

@@shannonforsberg4118 True just wished she had mentioned the safety aspect.

@@victorianeal9369 I do believe it was a miracle that my g'daughter was perfectly healthy except for a little jaundice. My daughter in law didn't recover as quickly. She was in the hospital for about a week until they could get her blood pressure low enough to send her home. She was on BP meds for I believe 6 weeks, but she's doing great now. Military got my son back just in time for the emergency C-section and he was able to get a few extra days of leave due to everything. He got her and baby Elizabeth settled in at her parents in GA before he returned to his deployment. I just thank God every day that they both made it through all that. I'm still furious that Tricare (military insurance) made her wait 2 days before they would cover the C-section. ( Her body would not respond at all to any form of medication to induce labor)

I never had any either, but still gained 25 lbs with my first birth stopped gaining weight three weeks before she was born.

Her reactions in these are the best part!

She almost ruined the video IMO.

I agree! I've watched this show during its original air and it honestly raised my anxiety that even a negative pregnancy test could still mean I was pregnant. Having more information is really great for me. Plus the commentary about what is unrealistic/funny that I would never notice (like how they seemed to use aluminum foil to wrap a baby in one episode instead of a foil blanket).

How did I miss that?! 😂

I saw it! 🤣🤣🤣

I had to go back and see, lol 😂

🤣

That actually would be very funny if it wasnt so sad. Like what the hell is wrong with the society if ppl actually value their own life&health less then not being late for work😢

I'm so pleased someone else picked up on that

@@jimsanderson9020 never saw the movie but my mom showed me a clip of it years ago. Idk why it stuck in my head but I had my earbuds in when I listened to this video so as soon as he said it, I busted out laughing. Hilarious moment for sure

good to know.... my 18 month old daughter is born with ASD and VSD

I was looking for a comment like this. I too was born with a whole in my heart, that was repaired when i was a couple months old. That's why I was also curious what her condition was, because I never had any issues or anything regarding mine.

And she lived in an apartment, so the neighbor's door may have just been feet away.

I know in an emergency ppl don’t always do the logical thing, but she could’ve started by knocking on the door of the house where she found her collapsed to see if she could use their phone. Especially if she as a neighbor knew that was Ashley’s house & she lived with a boyfriend

@@CalmoOmlac Im assuming they are referring to the neighbor being older. A lot of older people resisted cell phones as long as they could

I got a cell phone in 2006 and almost everyone I knew had had cell phones for years already.

How I needed that laugh❣🤣

Lol same

So if a video comes up and you don't have your period, it means you're pregnant. It's just basic science!

@@PruneauYT Of course 😆

Like: ugh, it’s that time again. Time for I didn’t know i was pregnant.

Same lol

Yeah, I know a lady whose children were born during that era as well who mentioned being unconscious for all her births. I think it was "normal" then because she didn't think anything strange about it. She actually said something like, "I don't understand your girls these days who WANT to be awake... Your body can do it without you so I just don't get that desire." LOL

My MIL was unconscious for the delivery, but not labor. How is is that?? Probably scopolamine.

My grandmother doesn't remember birthing my mother either, also twilight sleep. I would enjoy a video on it as well. Historical medicine is so interesting.

What is twilight sleep?

My grandma also told me one of her births was like that. I'd love to see a video on it too!

I was thinking the same thing 😅.

I so wish I could have been at least slightly unaware. I was completely aware of my pregnancy early. By 5.5 weeks I was feeling ick. POSITIVE and each pregnancy… at 6 weeks HG started and didn’t end until the pregnancy ended. My last baby… I threw up for hours after…

I did as well Rae, and in my day we had no insurance as a young couple and when the doctor said, " You need to to to the E.R. and get taken care of with I.V.s" We had no money as college students and I was afraid to go to the ER. and no doctor ever told me that my extreme nausea and vomiting WAS h.g. When I had a miscarriage I realized that I had not any nausea.soo. There was a medication that they used to give us for nausea during pregnancy I was worried about it having any affect on my babies.

Gosh I'm so sorry, one of my good friends had this too but her baby is amazingly healthy and growing really well now. She lost so much hair post partum too. She told me too, NEVER AGAIN! ONLY ONE!! I do not blame her one bit!!!!

I feel that! I definitely am faring way better than it sounds like you did, but boy that back pain and nausea hits hard!

YES! EDS needs to be talked about in an obgyn context!

I want to avoid pregnancy, so to add I wonder if having a restrictive ed can affect the accuracy of a pregnancy test, since Ed's can affect hormones. I was wondering this since pregnancy tests work by measuring hormone lvls. Also wondering if a restrictive ed can affect hormonal birth control methods. There are no answers online that I could find so I assume it's not talked about enough or at all, the only things i could find is how to get pregnant with an ed and the risks that an ed can have on a active pregnancy

@@bbcallie9586 EDS doesn’t affect the pregnancy hormone, that’s completely separate from Estrogen, Progesterone, and Testosterone. Trust me, pregnancy tests still work and are accurate AF, no matter how messed up the three sex hormones may be. As far as how EDS affects those other three hormones is completely dependent on your comorbidities, as EDS by itself doesn’t cause the hormone issues. Although the EDS may be responsible for other health issues (comorbidities), that do. For instance most EDS peeps (with a uterus) suffer from either Endometriosis and/or PCOS. They (doctors/researchers) aren’t sure why, but suspect it’s immune system related. Which considering how much immune system issues also occur in EDS patients, makes sense to me. Maybe one day we’ll know. Research in this area is still very new, unfortunately,

@@leeann7347 so your saying that an ED won't affect a pregnancy test result? If yes then that's good news. I know Ed's don't cause hormone issues in every case, but there is a chance and people won't know unless they get checked so that was my worry

I think you're both talking about different conditions. EDS - Ehlers-Danlos Syndrome and ED's- Eating Disorders (restrictive ED in particular). I think pregnancy/hormone effects for these conditions would be very different. Good luck to both of you. 🥰

In my state, my husband was required actually to attend a delivery. I hadn’t realized it was a state-by-state thing.

Well, I kinda get it. I drove myself to the hospital with a kidney stone, but my pain level was about a 4, had been a 7 or 8 earlier in the day and I just needed confirmation as I have had them before. Also, the clinic was like a mile from my house. I know I'm not preggo as I am on depo and get a test every 3 months right before my shot. I just needed confirmation, something for the nausea and something for the pain.

Maybe that's the missing link? Maybe the neighbor actually called him and told him to come over.

@@6thgraderfriends and he rolled over and went back to sleep like three times 😂🤦🏻

Maybe she also knew he had work in the morning and didn't want to wake him😂

The ambulance crew isn't going to leave the scene to go get the boyfriend. You never leave your partner with 2 patients alone.

Besides not being able to leave, just because you know _who_ someone is, it doesn't mean that you know exactly where they live. I still don't understand the neighbor not knocking on the door, though. First, maybe because she shouldn't leave the patient? And then forgot after EMS got there? Or, maybe she didn't know he was living there, too?

I'm glad you got your hysterectomy. Periods suck!!

Thanks for sharing! Good luck on your journey!

woah i did not know that, thanks for the info!

Never knew that T doesn't prevent pregnancy effectively enough to be safe with nothing else! Good to know 💜

Interesting...

Wow! You really went thru a lot! Congrats on your son! I’m happy it worked out for you

Wow! Glad it all went well, congrats!

WHAT'S THE HEART CONDITION THOUGH?? (had to make that joke but congrats)

Hey, I'm glad you were able to go to the hospital and not get knocked out and dragged by your neighbor.

@@JAAAY62 hahaha! Who hasn’t been there, am I right?

Wtf does respiration-1 mean?!?! 🤣🤣🤣 like 1 point on the Apgar or what?! 1 respiration per minute?! I’m so confused! 🤦🏽‍♀️😭 WHY are we doing Apgars at the hospital and not 1 and 5 minutes postpartum?

I'm 20 weeks with my first and I have had no symptoms at all lol

Same

There’s two EMTs and a neighbor there, I would presume that one of them would be keeping track of her vitals. They also said she was coming to a little when the baby was actually coming out.

Yeah that isn't right :/

@@debayeuxchats5607 with the EMTs shown (“OMG BABY WHAT DO”) i wouldn’t be so sure

And being the house with an ambulance in front of it might be a pretty good clue too . . .

Also it was a apartment complex

I think her comment about her walking out to the waiting room was about the lack of postnatal representation in media. This woman was likely quite sick after giving birth. Skipping such details gives an illusion of the actual trauma the body goes through, making people think that afterwards it's just easy

I was wondering if DMJ was gonna point that out!!! Lol 🤣🤣🤣

Late in the game here, but, THIS! My sister accidentally had her baby at home (my niece came too quickly) and when she kept contacting after she had the baby, she thought she was having surprise twins 😂

@Elise Ives I didn't think k twins but yeah was so very angry and done with everything when I was told I still had to keep pushing.i meanits nothing compared to giving birth but after hours of contractions and pushing I don't want to push anymore. Expesally when I wasn't on any medication and gave natural birth. It was so hard. At one point I was saying I can't do it he's gotta be cut out and nurses laughed and said it's too late for that eitherway as we'll and I have no choice but to keep pushing.... woke up already and waterborne. Then contractions started bad right away. By Time we pulled up to hospital I couldn't walk and was very short. And instantly was told I'm fully diallated and couldn't get anything to help. It was too late. Bit still took a few hours of pushing.

@@eliseives9574 wouldn't it be crazy if in this day in age you saw only one child somehow on checkups and stuff like that and some how there was a second baby hiding perfectly behind the other when the doctors were looking and you give birth to the baby just to realize that there's another on the way out now and not only do you gotta surprise go through birth twice in one day but realizing that you only got stuff for one child and all your plans and everything you been making the last 7-9 months is definitely going to be alot different. Need more cribs and more everything and likely more space even if you have them share room young they will likely need either a larger room or separate room when older unless it's already a very large room expesally if they are unidenical twins of opposite semesters. It's gotta be mentally and physically too much at that moment. I can imagine your sis having all those thoughts while the doctor was saying keep pushing and I bet she was extremely overwhelmed. Just the surprise of placenta push was already overwhelming enough if thoughts of twins Ida probably broke down

My mom knew a woman who had less than an hour of labor with her FIRST child. By her final pregnancy, she felt the first contraction as she and her husband were pulling into their driveway and he literally caught the baby as she climbed onto the bed.

See: MDJ video about driving herself to the hospital during her last labor. We don't think at the greatest quality when we're in intense pain.

@@tinkeramma So glad someone finally mentioned this! People saying, oh he offered to drive her, but she said nah, she’ll be fine driving herself - he should NOT have listened to her and seriously should have driven anyway!

If anything I'd roast the husband for deciding getting those extra hours of sleep was more important than driving his sick wife with a history of blood clots that can blow at any moment and could lead to collapse, which he knew since he says his first thought on seeing the ambulance was that she blew a clot. Like damn dude, catch zs at the hospital, call into work if the hospital visit takes longer into the morning and you can't come in 😒 taking a spouse to the hospital is a legit excuse. Like I'm sure he's a decent ish guy and whatever, but its pretty shitty he didn't at least insist on coming with if she was insistent on driving

I've had heart problems since my mid 20s, and every bad flare up where I'm like here's the heat attack will barely be able to walk and decide to drive myself to the hospital at 2 am partly cuz I live alone, can't afford an ambulance, and also don't want to inconvenience friends to wake up and drive my dumb butt to the hospital cuz it's never a heart attack, just normal arrhythmia but the panic that it might increases it. So when she said that in the video, I'm like... She didn't want to inconvenience her husband and keep him from a nights sleep.

Maybe

No? What? If you're unconscious and I shoot you, does it do less damage? The trauma is going to be the same because your body is severely injured.

nope, her brain respecters was just to busy trying to keep her alive to worry about pain. they used to put woman under a general right up until the mid 80s, until they found it was harmful for the babies, and was creating a higher rate of maternal rejection., woman were just not making that connections with their babies.

No

And I suppose that depends on what you're classifying as "trauma". Giving birth is traumatic to the body and mind, period. With western medicine we can help numb those sensations in the moment, but the effects on the mind and body remain. When approaching it as natural as possible, the body will release the proper hormones to help the mom and baby both get through the event with as little trauma as possible, and then flood them both with feel good happy love hormones to help them forget and be in the moment. I fear that being unconscious would actually be harmful to that process of hormonal release and moments of bonding, meaning the "trauma" associated with birthing another human may be even more harsh in the aftermath. I've had 2 natural, unmedicated births and I can not imagine the trauma I would have felt if I woke up to a baby I didn't know I was pregnant with. Not to mention the fact that I would have had zero control of my body which means involuntary pushing which can sometimes lead to worse tearing or the opposite which can result in the baby getting stuck because the urge to push isn't always fulfilled without conscious effort.

we found out I have factor V Leiden (a genetic clotting disorder) after I almost bled out during labour, they gave me a clotting agent, standard procedure, and I ened up back in hospital 2 weeks later with blood clots all through my lungs :( subsequent pregnancies I took Clexane injections daily during and 6 weeks post birth

@@shantalberg4214 that's the condition I have. I found out while I was on oral contraceptives, so we found out mine is more hormone driven. I was on warfarin when I was first diagnosed and told I would never be off it, glad I got a second opinion! I'm on lovenox, stopping around 37 weeks until delivery, then for 6 weeks post partum.

@HomemakerSuzy I am lucky, I only have 1 gene not 2 so I only need to take blood thinners during pregnancy, on long haul flights or when in hospital/on bed rest as a precaution

@@shantalberg4214 same boat! I was the first in my family to get diagnosed, then another family member had issues, got tested, and I was able to recommend my previous doctor and fast track everything. It was a lucky, not lucky, situation 😅

Yeah I'm irritatble AF today and on my second period day...heavy-ish flow so mehhhhhhhhhh.

56 years old... how I love having had a hysterectomy ❣🤣

Not sure it is they usually keep them in till they would've been full term and if she gained weight quickly and her lungs/other organs were ok going home at 35/36 weeks isn't crazy.

Not really. My sister and I were born at 30w in 1985, my sister spent 5w in the NICU, I spent 6w.

Actually that's normal. Some 35 weekers don't even go to the NICU anymore. As long as she met her feeding, weight gain, and temperature regulation milestones, she would have been fine. My 36 weeker never went to the NICU and was discharged home when I was

Fr, love the inclusive language

Congratulations 🎉

I had a heart murmer as a kid. At a cardiologist appt at age 45 they saw no evidence of it. I'm sure it corrected itself when I was a kid.

Same. I had a hole in my heart that was repaired when I was a baby, and have no long term effects so I was curious what her exact condition was.
