Saving a 31-Week Old Unborn Baby in Car Wreck Chaos! | Mercy | MD TV 

It really is. I had surgery’s while back and with no family in the state of florida. The nurse stayed with me and held my hand for all of it. They had to put a central line in me and it was the first time I got one while conscious. Nurses can be such angels.

Yeah it makes all the difference. @jilla-dr9hu you had a camera while conscious?😵

My cousin was born at 28, screaming her head out also.

31 weeks is honestly nothing. After 28 weeks, your baby's chances are similar to full term

That’s pretty good. Usually premies are in NICU for a couple of weeks at least. But 4 weeks early isn’t really a drama at all these days. Medical advancements and all that. 😊

So happy for you and your baby! TW: Baby loss I was born at 24 weeks- Idek how I'm alive XD I'm not supposed to be, doctor's told my mum she couldn't get pregnant, then she had me at 24 weeks, spent months in NICU and they said I wouldn't survive- I turn 18 in December and I have two younger brothers after doctors told my mum her still born twins (the pregnancy after me) had caused irreparably damage and she couldn't have any more babies after me- Miracles do happen, sometimes (:

@lorelaidi-angelo2072 You're a walking , talking miracle. I truly believe babies born that early (as you yourself waa), are meant to be and do amazing things. So happy for you, your mum, and entire family. ❤️

@@dmf1301 32 weeks is 8 weeks early

Me and my twin brother were born by emergency c-section at 28 weeks. I weighed 900 grams and my brother weighed 1500 grams. We both are now 27 years old ☺️❤

Definitely not as small as their showing, unless he was small to begin with

Mine was born at 31 weeks and she was 3lbs 1oz. Usually boys are smaller when born premature but it varies over so many different circumstances

Yeah I was thinking the same thing. Cause most twins are delivered around 31/32 weeks anyway usually weighing 4 pounds at smallest 3. And she was fairly large in the stomach area which means he was most likely normal birthing size. In this he's like the size of what would be a 20/21 week fetus. And if he's breathing on his own then he definitely was full term so he couldn't have possibly been that small even with him not putting on full weight he would of still weighed at least 3 pounds. And 31 weeks is perfectly safe to deliver at this would not have been such a big deal at my hospital because once you hit 30 weeks you can deliver anytime and almost all babies survive at that gestation age. They maybe in the NICU for a few days at most s week but usually can leave when mom is discharged unless there's a medical reason as to why they can't. And that's usually because they are not putting on weight as quickly as we like but nothing that would be considered an emergency. This show clearly did not use an actual Dr as a proxy between itself and a hospital so they could be accurate.

Stop calling a baby a fetus. The baby is 31 weeks. Its almost born baby.

​@@pollyboglefetus isn't an insult, it's a distinction to provide context to where the baby is developmentally. For example, a newborn vs an infant. Infants can roll over, crawl, sometimes walk, newborns can't do any of that.

I agree. I had my son at 31 weeks. He was in the nicu for 10 weeks. That baby was way to small to be in her room, but then again this is just a tv show wanting a happy ending.

My granddaughter was 32 weeks and weighed 4 lbs. No NICU, no specialists and came home after a week.

congrats im so happy to hear that!!!

WOW. 31 weeks really isn't too risky, and the baby is almost always fine. It just needs hospital time. 23 weeks on the other hand, is super risky. I'm so glad you're okay!

It depends on what the emergency or situation is

Mine was born at 31 weeks and she was 3lbs 1oz. Usually boys are smaller when born premature but it varies over so many different circumstances

​@@brittanyarmentani7842yes but even at 31 weeks he was not that small. He most likely weighed 3 pounds or more which is not the size in the show. The size baby that she is holding would of been around 21/23 weeks gestation and would not have survived being delivered that small. They were definitely over dramatic in the show and clearly didn't use an actual Dr or hospital as a consultant

​@@brittanyarmentani7842this baby they presented would of been maybe 1 pound..... Maybe

They are. I have 2

Christ on a stick that's horrible!!!! I am so happy that your mother was alright, geez I'm the daughter of a neurosurgeon and I can't IMAGINE someone being so careless!

⁠@@julisakyani6306Ty yes the doctor had literally no care in the world bc she said I feel like imma gonna throw up during her c- section and he said oh no that’s just the pressure on your tummy then 2 seconds later the doctor was walking out of the room with vomit all over him 😂 I guess he should try and deliver a baby !!!

Hope she has a great birthday!

I was born july 20th 2008 she's probably 15 or16

Was waiting for this comment to confirm if it was her or not

@@spicykennag This was before Orange is the new Black. who knew?

The mother would have to be on bed rest till delivery was safer for baby.

@@googlyeyedcat But doesn't the baby need to be in amneonic fluid? if your water breaks the sack around baby has ruptured? babies breathe amneonic fluid in the womb and release from the fluid triggers breathing air- so wont baby suffocate?

Same

Her voice doesn’t bother me but I understand.. I think I’m one of the few people who arent relaxed by asmr, in fact it makes my skin crawl

I’ve always disliked her because of that exact reason! I couldn’t watch Orange is the new black because of her and she’s in one of my fav movies “The Lucky One” and I don’t watch it because of her 😂 her voice is so fake and annoying but I pick up on fake people so easily that I get on my own nerves 😆

I don’t know her name, but I think she was in the movie “Cabin in the Woods.”

She was in Zoo!

❤❤❤❤❤❤❤😮😊😊😊😊😊😊 pretty good I liked the idea that you have 😊

This baby is small for 31 weeks, they are normally bigger than this so he must have been small and would have been even at 39-42 weeks, in comparison to his peers

They used a doll in this show. The others use actual babies, and legally for them to “work” they have to be at least a few months old.

No it doesn't. It's not even close. Cause most twins are delivered around 31/32 weeks anyway usually weighing 4 pounds at smallest 3. And she was fairly large in the stomach area which means he was most likely normal birthing size. In this he's like the size of what would be a 20/21 week fetus. And if he's breathing on his own then he definitely was full term so he couldn't have possibly been that small even with him not putting on full weight he would of still weighed at least 3 pounds. And 31 weeks is perfectly safe to deliver at this would not have been such a big deal at my hospital because once you hit 30 weeks you can deliver anytime and almost all babies survive at that gestation age.

And that's usually because they are not putting on weight as quickly as we like but nothing that would be considered an emergency. This show clearly did not use an actual Dr as a proxy between itself and a hospital so they could be accurate. No actual baby born at that size would survive.

​@@ashleycurry8112 yeah what was with the doll that used? a 31 weeker would be much bigger! but most twins are not born at 31/32 weeks usually between 35-38 weeks.

@@ashleycurry8112 it's possible to survive but they have to be a fighter and be in a good hospital with good nurses and Drs around the clock

Doesn't mean it's a good idea. If that baby dies she will definitely want another one.

@@joshuahudson2170 ah ok now THAT makes sense. I wonder though, let's say a couple unable to have children, how long until they turn to adoption as there last hope for having a baby ?🤔

It’s not that they can’t actually do the surgery but that a woman that age that has just had their first baby, and that baby is premature and at a higher risk, doing a hysterectomy shouldn’t be the first course of action. They generally try to avoid doing a hysterectomy on women of childbearing age that may want more children. It’s a very permanent solution. It’s like if you had a compound fracture of your leg and they told you that they should amputate your leg since it’s broken. Although in the end that may be the final result you want them to try other methods first. But you CAN have it amputated, you just might not WANT to do that first.

@@BRUNETTECANARYthat’s hard to determine. There are couples who try for 10 or more years and don’t look at adoption as a solution. It’s really about how long a person wants to try until finally realizing it might not happen naturally. I’m 8 weeks pregnant and couldn’t imagine even waiting 5 years to have a baby. At that point I would consider adopting or fostering.
