    My mom had an ectopic pregnancy. She went to the er with sharp pains, they did an ultrasound and said they didn't see anything in her uterus. Dr thought she had miscarried and sent her home. A couple days later another Dr (not the one who'd seen her at the er) called said he was looking over her ultrasound from the hospital visit and wanted to come in and get checked out. Her hormone levels had skyrocketed so he knew she hadn't miscarried. He sent her to the hospital right away to get prepped for surgery - her fallopian tube burst right about the time she got to the hospital. Sadly she lost the baby, but her life was saved by that random Dr who knew something wasn't quite right.

      The same thing happened to me, only the Dr claimed I'd just pulled a muscle. My fallopian tube had burst at home....that pain was like nothing I had ever felt in my life. When my blood pressure dropped suddenly and I lost consciousness they realized I was bleeding internally and minutes from dying. I had told them I was having a hard time breathing but they didn't listen. My lungs were being compressed from all the blood pooling inside of me. I wouldn't wish this experience on my worst enemy.

    True story: My mother went to her post-natal check after my baby sister was born and struck up a conversation with a woman in the waiting room who told her she had a "true miracle baby". She had had a partial hysterectomy and ended up getting pregnant. Never suspecting she could be pregnant, the placenta attached to the abdominal lining and she delivered a healthy girl by C-section. My mother confirmed the story when she went in to see the doctor. Fast forward to my second full-term pregnancy and I went into pre-term labor at 61/2 months. I was hospitalized for 4 days while they worked to stop the labor, which they did! Anyway, my roommate was in after delivering her son and through conversation I found out she was that miracle baby! She'd stayed with her mother's ob/gyn and so had I! How bizarre is that!? That was over 40 years ago and I still remember her name, Barb M.!

      I’m pretty sure it’s because the ovary and Fallopian tube aren’t entirely attatched, I’m not certain but I’m pretty sure I learnt that last year in Human Bio during our unit on conception, gestation and birth. I’m pretty sure there’s a gap and the eggs free float into the tubes. But because there’s a gap there’s a chance they can exit the Fallopian tube. And now the eggs in your abdominal cavity no Cana thatch theoretically anywhere.

    I just wanted to let you know, I really appreciate you and your videos. I gave birth to my second daughter on October 8th. I labored for an hour and a half, got to the hospital to find out I was at a 6 and baby was footling breach. The ONLY reason why I didn’t (completely) flip out when I found out I needed an emergency c-section was because I watched your commentary on that Grey’s Anatomy episode. A C-Section was the very very last thing I wanted. I was able to come to terms with what was happening more quickly, and keep calm during a scary situation because I was more informed. Thank you!

I'm so glad you were able to find peace because this woman chose to just make a video, isn't it amazing how we can influence the lives of others by just being ourselves and following that internal voice?!! Definitely, it was better to go into a cesarean clear on what was to happen than to try a tricky maneuver and suddenly have an emergency. Congratulations on your baby!

Also my baby ended up being 10.4 lbs, so that would have made it even more difficult.

    My sister was the result of an ectopic pregnancy that came to term. My mother was 40 years old when she conceived her. This was in 1958, in the UK. My mother had planned a home delivery for this baby as she had had two easy straightforward labours with myself and my brother. There were of course no ultrasound scans in those days. The pregnancy seemed to progress normally, except that my mother's iron levels were drastically low, and she needed regular (very painful) injections. She also felt unusually tired, but put that down to her age. As she reached the third trimester she began to have a strange feeling that something was wrong, but (external) examinations didn't reveal any problems. The baby was growing well and had a good heartbeat. She was even positioned head down. Around the due date my mother began having contractions. They would last for a few hours then fade away. This happened every day for several days, while she grew more and more worried, and more convinced that something was terribly wrong. Her doctor was not too concerned, but he booked her in to the hospital for an elective caesarian, just in case. She had a general anaesthetic, as was usual in those days. When they opened her up they found the baby outside her uterus. The placenta was attached to the outer wall. The baby was alive and a healthy size (5lbs). In the course of delivering my sister my mother had a serious haemorrhage and nearly died as her body rejected the transfusion. My sister was put into an incubator but she was fine, a beautiful baby.
    My sister was called "The Miracle Baby" in the hospital, and the birth was apparently written up in The Lancet (medical journal). My mother had never heard the term "ectopic pregnancy" until the doctors explained to her what had happened. They told her that these pregnancies practically always burst the fallopian tube and cause extreme pain and of course miscarriage, and it was a mystery how she felt no particular pain nd the foetus was able to continue developing.
    These days this story would be all over the national press and media, but gynaecological matters were kept private in those days. There was another similar ectopic case a few years ago in Ireland I believe, a little boy this time, who was delivered by caesarian and was healthy. But it must be so rare. Both my mother and sister would have died, of course, without medical intervention. Needless to say, my mother always treasured my sister as very special, which my sister actually found quite hard to cope with as she grew up.

    Here is another strange birth story for you. My mother had no labor pains at all. She could not feel her contractions and was in no discomfort at all. I was the first child and was almost lost because of this. She said she just felt "different" and was close to her due date so she went to the hospital, the on call doctor sent her home and told her she wasnt in labor and that she would know when she was and to come back then. She went home and a day later started spotting blood so she went back. She was dilated to a 9 and my head was fully engaged in the birth canal. I was born very soon after they arrived at the hospital for the second time and was in intensive care for a week because of fluid in the lungs. Her regular obgyn put in her chart that she had a history of painless labor and 4 years later when my brother was born they didn't send her home saying she would know when she was in labor. He was also born without any pain and she had to be hooked up to a monitor to be told when she was contracting and when to push. I have never heard of another woman having painless labor. Have you?

      My mom also had no labour pains whilst delivering my older sister. In fact she kept falling asleep and the midwife actually lightly slapped her in the face to wake her to start pushing. Apparently my mom said to the midwife, "I've had babies before and I am no where near the pushing stage." To get a reply, "you're 10cm dilated and I can see the head!". Three pushes and my sister was out.

    “Call an ambulance” SHOULD be the go-to simple answer, however in some towns, especially extreme rural areas (ie where my mom lives in WV), you can literally be waiting for an ambulance for over an hour. That means an hour longer getting you to whatever medical facility you are heading (in my moms case, an hour and a half to the closest hospital). So if there’s an emergency and it’s possible to get the patient in my vehicle, I most definitely would choose to drive over an ambulance.
    In circumstances like above, I wish that more volunteer or community run emergency services were available.

It took 12 hours and many frantic calls that went to a pager and were not returned, for Hospice to finally authorize the ambulance. to arrive. He got to the hospital too late for the overdose to be treated, he died of organ failure, due to the toxic overdose,3 days later. She sued hospice because the hospice nurse filled his medicine box with the overdose, by mistake. She lost the case because he had cancer and was on home hospice and had 6 months or more left to live. People:-: think about it, when you go on hospice you sign away your right to call 911 in an emergency.. The attitude is if you are in hospice you are going to die anywsy, so why bother with emergencies. She and her husband were counting on having those precious 6 months , maybe more , together.

      Most ppl don't really understand what a placenta really is like. Most ppl think of it as a bubble full of baby food that just let's go of where it attached harmlessly and then you just cut the cord on your baby balloon and all's well. Not so. They should explain it better, like by telling ppl its more like a leech whos mouth gets bigger and leaves a hole behind when it detatches instead of a bloody balloon floating harmlessly out of the uterus after baby. Most mothers dont even understand the reason they "massage" your belly post delivery is to make sure that your usterus is contracting SO you dont bleed to death from the place the placenta was implanted. And I use the term massage loosely , it's not a massage anyone I know would ever ask for or enjoy especially someone who's just went thru contractions , labor and delivery. Its more of a whole hand pinch using both hands. Not the rub down any new mom would like.

To be honest this was very unsafe, the doctor hopefully at least tried to get her to stay in the hospital and she must have refused. Very happy it worked out for her and her family though. That being said they could have delivered at 26 week and intubated if the baby was okay, actually they deliver more and more live babies now a days at 26 weeks then ever before so I dont know why they waited. Must have been mothers choice

      @@logitimate given that Texan law would consider the surgery an abortion, imagine death. Mom laying in piss and shit from dying from bleeding to death internally in her home.
      I don't have to imagine laying in the damp bed, did that two days ago when my wife of 40+ years died.
      Years ago, she had an ectopic pregnancy that scarred the Fallopian tube closed, the hospital refusing to perform an abortion for religious reasons - despite her not being of their faith and federal funding was paying for her care. Her physician performed the procedure anyway and was terminated by the hospital. I was away on military training and got emergency transport home, to be unable to find her or our children, my parents not knowing where she was and her mother not answering the phone (turned out later, she was busy taking care of my wife and kids).
      I had some words with the hospital administration and being still in full battle rattle, the hospital administrator decided I was some kind of wannabe idiot. I rapidly disabused her of that idiotic notion by showing her my US Government stamped equipment and realized that so great was the rush to get me home, I still had my issue sidearm on me (a major ohshit moment!), but the protective mask and ID card shut her up, the responding LEO's both knew me and were prior service and convinced her to STFU.
      A call to an old army buddy tangled all medicaid and medicare money going to that health care system until they changed their policies with those not of their faith and in line with national guidelines. They were free to not do so, they'd also have been free to never receive a penny of federal funding ever again.
      Doctor was also rehired, to get fired again a couple of years later for the same reason. He returned to Greece after that and the hospital had to have a realignment, lest they lose funding forever.
      Frankly, the best outcome right now would be for every OB/GYN to close their practices in these retrobate states, since they think that politics are more important than women's lives, as the net effect otherwise is to have physicians bankrupted and unemployed or imprisoned, which is precisely the same end result as voluntary closure of practices.

    As my FIL explained it, the uterus isn't some beautiful live giving organ women are blessed with. it's a prison to protect the mother from the fetus which will parasitically latch on to anything it can find and develop whether that's the bowels, the kidney....anything. The uterus protects the mother, it doesn't nurture the baby which will take what it needs by force, no matter where it ends up.

      As I understand it, the truth is somewhere in between. The uterus helps to prevent the fetus from being squashed against random other structures, which is good for the mother *and* the fetus (for example, skull deformations are more common in abdominal pregnancies (whether successful or as observed prior to termination), due to the developing skull being compressed). It also provides cushioning, and helps to facilitate the development of a well-formed and fluid-filled amniotic sac, which both provides additional cushioning and is important in proper lung development. And it provides a rich blood supply, which the fetus can find in some extra-uterine implantation sites, but not all. And uterine contractions are obviously an essential part of live birth in the absence of modern medical technology. At the same time, a lot of early miscarriages are essentially the uterus actively riding itself of a fetus that isn't sufficiently vigorous and functional to prevent it from doing that, thereby preventing the body from wasting resources on a pregnancy that's unlikely to produce offspring that will survive to adulthood. So . . . a little from column A, a little from column B.

      It's quite accurate. The fetus also can demand more glucose, causing gestational diabetes, more circulation contributing to eclampsia and more, as some fetal proteins do leak into the maternal circulation and some fetal blood can mix in during labor and delivery, making future RH mismatch reactions more likely.
      The fetus is a perfectly tuned parasite, far superior in parasitism than any non-human parasite on the planet!

    She was sent home because it was early. She had contractions or 2 full days with no progress. She went back to the hospital because the pain was bad and she hadn’t slept in 60 hours (it was evening when she went into labour, and she had been in labour 48 hours). They said it was too early and sent her home after giving her morphine for pain (is morphine even safe?). My gut said to stay with her, since of the 6 people there, I was the only one with any experience with labour in any way at all (I’m a mom of 4. The other grandmother is too, but hers were all preplanned c-sections with no labour). Good thing I did. True to our family, when things got serious they got serious FAST. I ended up on the phone with 911 and coaching her through pushes until paramedics arrived.

With a possible head injury there are a lot of ways a lay person can check with instructions if it's in need of urgent treatment. It seems brutal, well, it is brutal, but I do believe the ambulance service is fairly good at categorising risk and this should have been in the highest category. What people are usually told is to call the maternity unit, if I'd been there in this instance - assuming there was no evidence of severe bleeding and mum was fully concious etc. just in intense pain, I'd have called the maternity unit, who presumably would have been briefed on her case, they would then be able to call an ambulance and their higher level of knowledge would have ensured it got in the right category.

    • @katjaanjuli
      @katjaanjuli 4 роки тому +43

      Mama Doctor Jones has since done another
      video where the woman DOES have two uteruses, and it seems that most women with that condition (didelphus uterus) have two uteruses leading to one vaginal opening, so they wouldn't have to wear two tampons at once. My guess is that horomones would lead both uteruses to shed their lining at the same time meaning they wouldn't have two periods per month? I guess the questsion would be would if each uterus shed 1/2 the material of a typical woman or would there be a heavier than average flow?
      MDJ would know! Sounds like she's treated patients with didelphus uterus before!

The mother (and baby) survived, but she did say she experienced severe digestive problems which resulted in an operation to the remove the damaged section of her intestines.

    My mother had an ectopic pregnancy when I was a teen. She bled all day along with severe stomach pains and we finally convinced her to go to the hospital. After a long ER wait she ended up passing out in the bathroom and hitting her head. Once they got her into a room they did an ultrasound and saw the fetus burst her fallopian tube. She was rushed into surgery and they actually found 2 fetuses, the second was hidden behind the first. They said she was a few hours from death given the amount of blood she lost. What is also crazy is they told her the tube was removed... She found out after another miscarriage a few years later they repaired it instead of removing it🤦🏿‍♀️

  • @melanieedge3943
    @melanieedge3943 2 роки тому +8

    I had an ectopic 6 years ago. I was in the army at the time and had lots of pains. I was confirmed pregnant. At the time I really didn’t want a baby. A few days later I started to bleed so they sent me for an ultrasound. I was told it was an ectopic pregnancy and they gave me a needle to terminate it. At that point I had already been happy about the pregnancy so it was very depressing. Then a week later they sent me back to the hospital to get another needle to once again terminate it because the first time didn’t work. When I returned to work my Warrant forced me to do a ruck march while the baby had still been dying and he pulled on my ruck and threw me on the ground. I got charged for insubordination after telling him what a piece of shit he was knowing full well I was still going through a miscarriage. I ended up leaving the army with some mental health issues. About 4 years after my ex messaged me through facebook saying he “forgave me” then the monster went on to tell me how I killed my baby and that I chose to kill my baby. It was a messed up conversation that really screwed with my mental health which I am in therapy for. Now I am currently 35 weeks pregnant with a high risk pregnancy, gestational diabetes and my baby is expected to be big since my 2 older children were both over 9 lbs at birth. I am supposed to be induced a week early so 4 weeks till we see our baby!

      As long as you get prenatal care, any complications can be spotted straight away. Well, if you live in the us I guess. Some women in the comments said that in the uk and canada they don't do fetal monitoring as closely as they do in the states unless a complication is spotted. I'm 38+6 weeks along and dealing with blood pressure issues but, I am being closely monitored by the clinic I go to, having appointments twice a week every week. So I wouldn't worry too much over it. Your ob and medical staff will take care of you.

    • @lofarm7290

      Kixi unfortunately not so. I had regular prenatal care, read about pregnancy complications, told my OB about my symptoms mirroring preeclampsia, and it was ignored. I spent a week in a hospital without having my blood pressure respond to ONE type of medicine she tried and there was no consistent testing or monitoring. After being transferred to another hospital, they immediately controlled my blood pressure and discovered I had developed pneumonia at the first hospital. You can have all the care in the world and still miss major issues. We’re only alive because we made it to the second hospital that followed protocol and monitored everything. My daughter was born at 28 weeks. If they had caught it at 20 weeks, we might have been able to prolong my pregnancy.

      I have a lot of family in the US. When they need an ambulance they mostly drive themselves and speed so much, that they’re pulled over by police, so they get escorted to the hospital. They do that especially when someone’s pregnant. An ambulance in the US coasts up to 5000$ even with insurance. In Germany its 500€ but it’s covered by insurance so you don’t have to pay. (Health insurance is coast free here). I’m from Portugal where it’s around 350€ which is also covered by insurance.

    Pt had come in with abdominal/pelvic pain. Included in this report, it stated that the embryo/fetus was on the LT side.

It may seem like a long wait but in most cases it is only minutes. Also once we get a report of what is going on if it sounds like it's really necessary we can put airlift on stand by or dispatch them to our location. It is really the best choice. I have been on so many call where people chose to take their loved ones POV (privately owned vehicle) and where either in a wreck or got pulled over for speeding.

    OMG, I was doing the same thing as you while watching this! I was legit having a panic attack during that delivery lol. Watching your commentary is better than watching the episode without

    Good God this is making my anxiety go through the roof. Any time I hear stories like this, it almost feels like it's happening to me rather than just watching it, and oh boy it freaks me out. I'm so glad she's alright after all that. I thought I was scared having bad contractions at 26 weeks, this is WAY worse than that.

    Hearing you talk about ectopic pregnancies makes me realize how lucky I truly was. I had a ectopic pregnancy in the right tube a couple years ago. Started bleeding and stopped having pregnancy symptoms at about 8 weeks. I was incredibly lucky to have caught it when I did and just went to the ER to get a shot of methotrexate and everything was fine. It really was the best case scenario of a bad situation
    Now I have a beautiful 16 month old girl
