Congrats on almost 300k! Also is that flounder on the chair in the background?
I think you’re the first one to answer correctly for the tiny friend!
@@MamaDoctorJones :O Oh yay! Thats cool, Its the first time I could actually make out what it was :P Go me!
OK what size screen are you watching this on because my iPhone 6 screen is far too small to see anything like that!
@@brigidscaldron Some weirdos still use actual workstations / laptops with displays which can't be held in a hand :P.
@@brigidscaldron Same! Looks like a tiny egg to me, I thought it was an egg for Easter coming up! An actual Easter egg!? Get it?.. 🤣😋
Dr. Mike: " Chest compressions, chest compressions, chest compressions!"
MDJ: " Pregnancy test, when are you gonna do a pregnancy test!?"
Nonie Star yes! 🤣🤣🤣🤣
🤣
is that a duck on the chair the camera won't focus??
@@alicemarie8264 Should be the carrot.
😂😂
"Isn't there any other way you could get pregnant? Like sitting on a toilet seat?"
"Oh, absolutely. There'd have to be a guy between you and the toilet seat.." This might be the best line in the whole show.
Lily Grace I LOVED that! Lol!
I was eating cereal and had to stop to laugh so I wouldn't choke. That made me die laughing.
At church camp, they told us we could get pregnant that way and that's why we have separate bathrooms
I’ve watched that episode. She cheated on her boyfriend. They are both from the same church & engaged.
@@zoewood555 why would they say that o.O id be scared to use toilets.
When I was a teenager, I went 6 months without a period. I was convinced I was pregnant despite having never even kissed a boy due to an incurable case of the gay. I looked up parthenogenesis and was like "yo what if?" Clearly I wasn't pregnant but my teenage brain jumped to pregnant before it jumped to medical issue.
“Case of gay” lmao-
"INCURABLE CASE OF THE GAY" LMAOOO MOOD
incurable case of gay 😭 HEKDPDJDJ
Parthenogenesis isn't possible in humans because of parenting imprinting. Certain genes, such as MECP2, are turned on/off in eggs and the reciprocal pattern in sperm. There's been a few cases of diploid eggs trying to develop on their own, but it's not viable, or even really recognizable as a baby.
that was like me before I got my pcos diagnosed
The only time I have gone into the doctor and not been asked if I was pregnant, was when I was visibly very obviously pregnant.
Hahahaha imagine if u went in 30-40 weeks pregnant but, in this world where we arent allowed to assume anything, they asked u if u were pregnant anyway
I had a large tumor in my uterus at one point and before i was diagnosed i was basically just told I was pregnant
@@navybratt9289
Oh YIKES.
…ugh doctor logic: let’s demand a woman’s sexual history to Not Hurt Baby then tell her she’s Obviously Lying when she has symptoms she claims are NOT pregnancy short of an immaculate conception vs doing tests to get to the bottom of it 😖
@@fleurpeffer5212 just had that I’m more than 30 weeks pregnant and I went to urgent care for an insect bite (thank god all is good now) the nurse and the doctor both asked if I was pregnant I was like duh!!!
@@strrts5135 In their defense, if they just assume that someone is pregnant, someone could get really upset. I have a friend who's overweight, and people are constantly asking if she's pregnant because she carries most of her weight on her belly. If my friend were to go to the hospital and someone just assumed she was pregnant, they may wind up taking unnecessary tests and causing harm.
This House episode: *never ask if she's pregnant*
Me at every doctor's visit since I started getting my period: "Is there any chance you could be pregnant?"
Edit: jesus y'all I get it, the end of the video mentions they tested her. Before adding the millionth comment telling me so, consider that I typed this out as a joke like halfway through the video not expecting it to get any upvotes. Peace ✌
Literally tho 💀
Whenever I go to the doctor I always get these two questions:
"Are you sexually active/could you be pregnant?" And "do you think you're depressed?"
And I'm like no bro I have a bad gall bladder
@@jo1857 followed by you just need to lose weight, could go in for a severed limb, but they'd still be like "could you be pregnant? Are you depressed? You just need to lose weight." Lol 🤦♀️
Me too, even though having endometriosis(reduced fertility), Autism(hates it when touched) and being a virgin...
Yep me going to the doctors when I’ve got the time of the month ( Not relate to it )can you be pregnant err no lol
Right? Or like my recent visit saying hey, we're 2 years out from delivery and my cycles are still super long and messed up. Home pregnancy tests say no, have said no for months, said no as recently as 2 weeks ago. They still wanted to do another urine pregnancy test in office. Still included pregnancy hormones in the blood work order. This from a temp doctor filling in during a vacation at my primary care doctor's office. But no, surgeons in the diagnostic medicine department at a hospital are turning a blind eye?
"There would have to be a guy between you and the toilet seat" is one of my favorite things said in that episode, lol
That's one of my favorite things house ever said, but yes
Or a turkey baster.
I laughed so hard at this🤣
Ever since I heard it, it's always been one of my favorite quotes haha. So glad I got to see it again here, it's been a while.
Literally will never forget that line. Iconic.
I love the "Do a pregnancy test!" It should be up there with "Chest compressions!", "Dig a ditch!" and "The bailiff will tackle you!"
Sorry to come to this comment so late lol but what is dig a ditch from? I know all the others
@@teddybear2454 there is a dude who appeared in one of those Insider videos where experts rate how real a movie is. His name is Roel Koniyjedjyik - my spelling, I have no f-Ing clue how you spell this - and he is an expert on ancient warfare. He is so legendary that they brought him back for a second video. So he watches these battle scenes in movies and he practically yells at the screen "dig a ditch! Why aren't you digging a ditch!" it's hilarious.
And then dig another ditch!!
Don’t forget “SQUISH THAT CAT!”
LOL! Not familiar with the other ones, but someone here is a Legal Eagle fan!
I love how her parents comforted her and loved her instead of getting angry with her
its so wonderful :((
i don't get how being angry even becomes option when you get a grandchild? but then parents do all sorts of crap. i have experienced that myself. i literally would never waste my precious limited energy on fighting with child over stupid things like this. my mother did it and i just hate her forever, even after she dies. now, i'm not a girl nor do i have any children yet but i like don't plan to step on their personality either
@@ketas some people aren’t ready for kids, or arent mature/responsible enough, we hear stories all the time about really bad things happening to kids
Is that really surprising? How would anyone even start "getting angry" at their daughter when they've been half-expecting her to die at any moment for days? Not to mention just learned that she went through the trauma of delivering a baby alone and having that baby die? Pretty much anyone would just be trying to process all of that. I fully intend to teach my son (and any other kid I have, if any) sex is best saved for marriage and carries responsibilities no teenager is well prepared to deal with. But any normal parent at that moment would just want to be reassured about their daughter's health--physical and mental--and also flabbergasted and crushed that the daughter went through a whole pregnancy without even telling them.
@@ketas The parents actually dumped their grandkid in the episode. So, yeah...
House: “never asked if she was pregnant” radiologist giving me and x-ray when I was 10: “could you be pregnant”
don’t attack us 😂😂 sometimes, especially on toxic night duties were out of it 😂😂
also it’s protocol and asked out of habit 😂
yeah that happened to me too after a blood test, worst thing was I didn't know how you got pregnant so I just looked at my mom in fear and asked her.
I pee a lot because of my weak bladder and my doctor immediately thinks I’m pregnant when I pee more than normal
@@Alicapy well shit.......i must be pregnant XD
Did everybody here comment before watching the whole video? They did a pregnancy test, she had ALREADY had the baby.
This House episode: nobody asks if she's pregnant
The nurse giving me my vaccinations when I was 12: is there any chance you could be pregnant?
*sees Dr for ear problems*
"are you pregnant?"
Me, 11, getting lozenges for my wittle cold: "are you sexually active? Is there any chance you may be pregnant?"
It's like bruh I don't even have my period yet. I heard them asking the grade 5 kids this at the public school I attended for a couple years.
13:47 You clearly missed the part where her mother says she was tested when brought in.
Nobody asks because standard labs are done long before the case ever reaches House. He does a differential diagnosis.
This episode of House broke my heart SO BADLY. I was 16, over weight, brown curly hair and pregnant with eclampsia. I told my parents though and now my daughter will be 20 next month.
So good to see that you and your daughter seem to be ok. I hope you have been able to heal. God bless you.
So sorry you went through that. But I'm so glad that you and your daughter are here and doing well. 😻
Me: “I’ve never engaged in any sort of sexual activity.”
Doctor or nurse 2 min later: “so do you think you could be pregnant?”
Me: “what a neat trick that would be. If I’m pregnant, put me on the tonight show.”
I guess they assume everyone is a liar
The only reason i could see them still asking is in the case of getting insemination or whatever its called
Funny thing to me is as a teenager they’d ask me if I was pregnant all the time. I’m 22 now and married but not once have I been asked at the doctors if there was a chance I could be pregnant….
There are other methods to get pregnant besides having sex
I'm not a doctor, but isn't the "when was your last period" question one of the standard questions any time a female has a medical visit?
Yes.
Yes, another common question is "are you sexually active?" Idk if it's asked for guys though.
Whenever I go to the ER... they ask these questions usually... is it possible you're pregnant and when was your last menstrual cycle?!
But in the episode she is trying to hide her pregnancy so would know to lie about this to the doctor or nurse that asked her. As Dr. House says, everybody lies.
Cap Amer I’m 65 yrs old and and drs still ask me when my last period was!!
Me: My throat is sore.
Dr: When was your last period?
House: You need chemo -_-
Me ; My blood is green
Haus ; youve been drinking too much chemo. START HIM ON CHEMO !
me ; Where are all the nurses in this hospital ?
Haus ; They all drank too much chemo. When did you get it on with the mutant tarantula ?
Hahaha , thanks for he laugh!
Google: you are dying
Female: I tripped and my ankle won't bear weight and has swollen 3 inches!
Dr: Could you be pregnant?
Female: No I have had my tubes tied, not had sex in over a year and am currently menstruating.
Dr: Better do a pregnancy test just to be safe.
It’s Lupus
I'm sensing the same energy as Dr. Mike's exclaiming "Chest Compressions" when you're saying "are they going to do a pregnancy test"! :D
Not as catchy, though
Haha totally
As an ER nurse: There have been cases where no one asked if a young person was pregnant and did a CT. Lo and behold, fully developed fetus on the image. That's why we ask.
I know right? Or x-rays on a pregnant person
Every single time I went to the ER for issues with my common bible duct disorder, they did a pregnancy test. They did so until my hysterectomy (of course). I've also made hospitals do a test first because they seemed to forget the possibility.
can i ask if anyone knows if this is an american thing? i'm european and have never been tested for pregnancy at a hospital, i'm so confused hahah
@@paadoxal You would only need a test if you underwent x ray imaging or CT scanning. Not for every visit.
@@paadoxal they always tested me because of medications they had to give me for my issues. I'm in the USA
"I saved their marriage!" Um if she was cheating on him, chances are that marriage is doomed to fail anyway.
Yeah. House was mostly just doing it for his own satisfaction, as usual.
House is a softie and really didn't want to hurt the guy. It's obvious he was pretty naive and the last thing he'd want is to be the one to break it to him. Tough situation for anyone honestly
You never know
My aunt and uncle cheated on eachother and their still together 30 years larer
@@nicholeocornes543 they're together, but that doesnt sound like a healthy relationship. Unless they both decided it's an open relationship, but it sounds like that's not the case.
As a scientist, I choked when they jumped straight to leukaemia. There is no way a doctor would jump to that conclusion without it being suggested by a haematologist after reviewing an abnormal blood film
youd be surprised how fast some jump to that conclusion sadly
Wasn’t it the oncologist who suggested it? I think it was...Dr. James Wilson. Not that it matters much with House but that was the oncologist.
This didn't show all the steps they took and all the tests they did. There was quite a bit more to this episode than was shown here.
I think how it works: patient arrives at ER, those doctors run tests and rule out the more common diagnoses and when they can't figure it out, it's determined the patient has a rare or more complicated illness/disease and that's when they are sent to Dr. House and his team. They are "super" specialists that deal with the more complicated cases. So lots of tests and procedures have already been performed by the time the patient gets to Dr. House. That's what I think, which is why it looks like they just jump to these more dire diseases, because we don't see what all the patient goes thru in the initial part of their arrival to the hospital. I hope I made sense lol 🤔.
@@babeejaynes4549 i agree with you. In fact, i remember House saying repeatedly on the show something like this, "One of the things that they teach new physicians is the phrase “When you hear hoofs, think horse, not zebra.” The principle is quite simple - the odds are the patient has the more common diagnosis than a rare, improbable one. ... The rule: Think horse without ruling out zebras."
I love how no one comments about how House’s ‘good deed’ for the episode was to lie on behalf of a woman who cheated on her bf. He makes up an impossible condition to bs that she totally didn’t cheat on him.
That's not a good deed. She's tricking him into raising a child that isn't his and cheated on him and probably still is. That's messed up. The truth will come out eventually. He just wanted to get them to stop bothering him.
@@AirQuotes Notice how I put ‘good deed’ in quotation marks. Please tell me it’s day time at 11am.
Imagine how embarrassing it would be for you to go around saying that your wife is the new virgin mary and everyone either thinking you are crazy or knowing she cheated
@@jordanrayne4779 Right? Sometimes I want a follow up episode of the paitents coming back pissed because they were too stupid and beilived his blatant lies. XD
He had a bet with Wilson that he can be nice enough to his clinic patients to get a present and saw his chance in that stupid couple and won. He never claimed to want to be good.
The fact that they went to cancer before asking if she could have been pregnant recently is the most unbelievable thing about this considering how pregnancy is always first on the minds of doctors when women come in for anything.
Sure, she had a negative test, but they should have considered the possibility of her having had a baby before thinking of giving her chemo.
That actually doesn't feel that unrealiatic for this hospital imo. There have too many crazy cases there. They have so many zebras there that they sometimes forget horses exist
I do not understand how people can watch this show. The things in this show go so far beyond suspension of disbelief. You don't need to know a lot of medical information to realize how little sense a lot of the stuff makes.
@@catpoke9557 the acting and jokes are fun
House's whole thing is that, for a case to make it to him and his team, the assumption is that it isn't something routine or solvable elsewhere (like eclampsia).
This is why they wouldn't necessarily go straight to the pregnancy test.
@@Casual-Yohoho-Enjoyer Zebra here! Hypermobile Ehlers Danlos Syndrome! 🦓
I'm touched how genuinely sad you seemed to be for the girl when she was talking about being bullied even though she's a fictional character. Like, obviously this stuff happens in real life, but it was so nice how concerned you seemed to be for that character.
Especially in contrast to the doctor who was just like "oh well, suck it up and get healthy".
That's the mama bear in her.
I love how nobody does anything to try and figure out if she's pregnant or not, but then there's me, at age 11, doing inpatient therapy and talking to a therapist and he's like "Are you sexually active" No sir I've kissed one person once and it was because they gave me dinosaur chicken nuggets leave me alone
Thats an understandable reason to kiss someone
I would kiss someone if they gave me Dino nuggets tbh
i need some dinosaur chicken nuggies that sounds awesome
@@FuzzyMonkey95 yea being in a relationship is great, your partner makes you dino chicken nuggets you get to chill and watch Avatar or something, and they steal half of your food after eating all of theirs
I'm almost 20 and have never been in a relationship/kissed someone. Help
When they said the damage was permanent in the show I was like wait what. I had eclampsia elapsed into help syndrome with my first kid. I even had died on the operating table during emergency c-section and was resuscitated. Still had all of my symptoms go away completely after being in the hospital for a little over a month.
So glad for you 🙏😊
The damage was permanent because they were damaged already from her drinking alcohol at such a young age.
Purely out of curiosity, were you able to keep your baby at the hospital with you during your stay?
They just wanted an excuse to kill the kid off so Cuddy could adopt her child (none of her family wanted the kid, of course). Extremely contrived plot.
Wow! Your channel is so fun, and interesting!
As a former bio major (not medicine, I studied animals not people), House saying it was parthenogenesis was the most unexpected and funniest thing in this video. That was amazing.
I had peri-partum cardiomyopathy. They didn’t catch it on my first pregnancy or on my second. During my second pregnancy, I kept telling my DR that I felt like my heart was pounding against my ribs. My BP was good, so they weren’t worried about it. I worked as a dental hygienist (3-10 hour days a week in a very stressful practice) until I went into labor. I had a nine pound baby at 37 weeks after two days of contractions. 6 weeks later, I was at a surgery center to have my tubes tied because I needed to know my body could never get pregnant again. The nurse didn’t like my pulse and did an EKG. Left bundle branch block showed up. No surgery for me. The cardiologist found the cardiomyopathy a few weeks later. My OB-GYN said, “Well your pulse was high every time you came to see me, but I just figured that you were coming in on your lunch hour and you had a stressful job and you were 20 lbs overweight. I didn’t think that it was peri-partum cardiomyopathy because it’s so rare. My heart was five points above the point where someone would go on a transplant list. (EF of 25) I used to pray every night that I would live long enough for my kids to remember me and that I wouldn’t be an invalid while they were growing up. The good news is that the cardiologist put me on heart meds that gradually strengthened my heart muscle and after 13 years, I recovered to a point where it was almost normal. Walking uphill and walking upstairs still make me winded, but other than that, I’m really good. My boys are 24 and 21 so my prayers were definitely answered. Ladies, if your heart doesn’t feel right during your pregnancy, or anytime, make sure you ask a lot of questions and make sure that your DR takes you seriously. A simple, non-invasive, echocardiogram during my pregnancy would have picked up on my condition. I know another woman who had the same condition and her DR didn’t take her symptoms seriously. She finally passed out while driving at 5 months pregnant, with her other child in the car, before they believed her and discovered her heart problem. I know this was long, and I am not trying to be alarmist, but DR’s need to listen to women. Oh, and major props to the nurse who didn’t like my pulse. She probably saved my life. I love this channel. MDJ you are doing a great job.
Wow! I am so happy for you! I am so happy that your heart is healed and you got to live to see you children grow and get to live your life as you should have. Maybe even have some grandkids? ;) 😊💕
It reeeally sucks how common it is for people to have stories like "I had a serious problem, but the doctor always just blamed the problem on my weight." In your case in particular, an ekg is such a quick simple test there is no excuse for the doctor to not AT LEAST do one of those when you had cardiac signs/symptoms.
@@MaddyBlu9724 Exactly. I'm 100lbs overweight and my family dr still sent me for an ecg and I had to do a stress test and wear a holter monitor because my heart rate was between 100bpm and 120bpm when I'd see him. Though I have anxiety AND taking vyvanse for adhd which is a stimulant so i chalked it up to that. Drs really need to not blow things off.
Just want to add that I passed all my heart tests and am fine :)
I have an ectopic atreal rhythm and have tachycardic episodes or palpitations while pregnant. I'm pregnant with my third now and with each pregnancy it's gotten worse/more frequent. My OB with my previous two kids just said it was likely low blood pressure, though my blood pressure was fine every time they checked it, and just said as long as the episodes weren't lasting longer than a couple minutes and stopped after giving birth (which has always been the case) then he wasn't worried. Then we moved and I have a new OB. She decided to refer me to a cardiologist where they did blood tests, an echocardiogram, and a 30 day ECG monitor. They found the ectopic atreal rhythm (which I've always had but was just diagnosed as a heart murmur when I was a kid), but it is not harmful and is apparently not related to the tachycardia or palpitations. Otherwise there is nothing wrong with my heart; it just has a harder time than most keeping up with the demands of pregnancy. So I spent several hundred dollars even with insurance on the cardiologist visits, but it was nice to have my OB take me seriously and good to know I don't actually have a heart problem.
I also was diagnosed with PPCM. EF got to 33. All bc my OB didn’t listen to me and put me on lexapro and ambien 🙄
These doctors on House: We have to do everything in our power to not give this girl a pregnancy test or ask her when her last period was
Me to my Doctor: My eyes are runny/itchy, my skin keeps breaking in hives, and I have a sore throat.
My Doctor: When was your last period? I suspect pregnancy.
They have her a pregnancy test, though. They said so when they started thinking eclampsia.
@@Matrim42 I know but that was pretty late in the game when they mentioned that (I'd assume they would have ASKED her about previous pregnancy/period at least)and they were already trying to start her on all sorts of treatments from other stuff before they did it's just kinda laughable just since in real life if you're a girl doctors basically ask you about your last period no matter what you're in for.
xWinterWolfx7 They said she had a pregnancy test when she was brought in and it was negative, that’s why it took them so long to propose eclampsia.
@@Matrim42 She would have probably still have post-partum bleeding though.. And like, when I had my D&C 10 weeks after delivery they asked me for my last period and I was like... dunno? Is this still placental bleeding or already a period?!
It's around the 13:40 mark that they talk about the pregnancy test they did when she came in being negative
The most touching part of this episode is Cuddy's journey
She has this deep motherly instinct and has desperately wanted to be a natural mom, but meeting this sweet young girl and honoring her memory by adopting her little girl; I think that's really beautiful. 💗
I feel like they literally give you a pregnancy test EVERY time I've been in the hospital regardless of what was wrong with me. It's how I found out I was pregnant.
Right??
Like the only things I can get done without having to fill out my sexual history are MAYBE a routine dental cleaning and an eye exam. Even psychologists and therapists demand to KNOW even though they legally cannot prescribe anything.
Like. Bare minimum I can be asked about my last period/my sexual history 3 Times during a New Patient or Annual visit-once on the paperwork, at least once by a nurse or physician’s assistant or nurse practitioner (per individual who comes in), then once by the actual doctor.
It’s kinda ridiculous to be asked THAT many times (like I get WHY they have to ask. But that frequently? During the SAME visit? Buzz off. Especially since Not Once have I been referred to a gynecologist about having painful and heavy periods that often make me vomit, get numbness in my legs, and overall feel anemic. But sure. Ask me about my libido and apparently not believe me (really. Do y’all want me to shout that I’m ace? Don’t plan on having kids? C’MON.)
Some places do, and everyone should. I mean, they’re making you pee in a cup anyway.
@@professorbutters , doctor in-office pregnancy tests are very simple and fast. Open a pregnancy test kit. Add a few drops of urine. Turn on the timer. When the timer goes off, check to see the lines.
They did test the girl in the episode, the reason as to why it took them that long to figure it was eclampsia is because the test came back negative
You're not even joking. I've gone in and been like "I am a lesbian and also sterile due to a clotting disorder" and they're like "so could you be pregnant?" WHAT PART OF STERILE DO YOU NOT UNDERSTAND?
Patient “um doctor I think I have an ear infection”
House “NO. You have a tumor in your right thigh and we’re gonna have to amputate.”
Patient “what?”
Thats every episode lol
House only gets cases that other doctors can’t figure out therefore the more common illnesses have already been ruled out unless he’s in the clinic in which he does assume it’s a common condition
No, every episode is: 5 minutes later: oh no, I'm sorry, it's not a tumor in your thigh, it's brain cancer.
Galaxis because they treat for the original diagnosis which fits the symptoms then change the diagnosis based on the effects of the treatment
@@jackgibbons1236 , yeah, I know. I have watched the series. But it is funny that that would happen constantly.
"They never asked for a pregnancy test"
Me getting a flu shot at 11: *any chance she's pregnant?*
I think they have to ask that for legal reasons. It is possible to be pregnant before the age of 11.
I've had a hysterectomy, and I get asked if I could be pregnant. I have trans woman friends who get asked if they could be pregnant. I there's an F anywhere in your chart, one of the first questions you will be asked is, "Is there any chance you could be pregnant?"
Seriously, male friends of mine - genitalia intact, afaik - have been asked by worn out radiology techs if they could be pregnant.
@@SewardWriter In fairness I don't think radiology techs get much if any information on the patients history. So in light of that it kinda makes sense that they don't just assume there is no chance the patient has a functioning uterus based on their appearance especially considering most scans are done with the patient still in a hospital gown at least.
I had preeclampsia with my oldest daughter, it was tough and I was hospitalized for 2 weeks before giving birth a month early…but we were both fine afterwards. Another awesome episode ♥️
Speaking of mean high school kids: I had a generally positive group of friends, and I still lied about my grades, pretended my grades were worse than they were, because I would get called an overachiever. Which was apparently a bad thing.
I was in this episode! One of the mean kids 😬. Absolutely love your videos!
What?!?! 😱😱 that’s so cool 😊
Cool!
So I read it too fast the first time. And I thought you meant in real life you were a mean kid. And I was like, why are you proud? Lol
@@BloodyRomance1313 Haha, same!
Awesome which one were u
“ It’s never okay to make fun of somebody because of their body.”
Thank you Mama Doctor Jones! So many people need to hear this.
Yea same about anything like height or weight or appearance unless you are friends with them of course
This is a Big problem in Western society specially USA, teenagers seem to be a mean than eastern countries. Unfortunatley it's making its way even in india.
@@AK-ny5bz I am 15. I can confirm. Especially between girls, there's lots of competition over looks.
I think it should be noted, jokes and making fun can be different things(they can be the same). Im fairly tall and everyonce in a while they'll hit me with a "hows the weather up there?", and if i am trying to get one of my shorter friends attention, if they dont answer after like 30 seconds i might throw in a "name, name, name, short person in a blue shirt!"
Everytime I go to the doctor, one of the first questions is *always* "Is there a chance you could could be pregnant?" And even if I say no they still want to do a test just to be sure, which I don't mind.
Right?
Me: nope, no way I can be pregnant.
Them: uh huh. Please pee in this cup.
Lol
I tell them I haven’t had a uterus since 1995 and they believe me lol
As someone who is not sexually active, I mind. I know people lie, but paying the hospital a hundred bucks for a test that you can get for a dollar, which I don't even need, pisses me right off.
Eclampsia is so scary. A coworkers wife had it and 1 week after giving birth she had a stroke. She survived but the brain damage means she will never be the same. I'm 6 months pregnant now and while I know it's rare it's something that I think about often.
I think the postpartum preeclampsia story in this episode in heartbreaking. My husband's cousin had preeclampsia in March and they had to deliver her baby by C-section a month premature. After she went home, she was really lethargic and tired all the time, had headaches, and wasn't eating much. About 2 weeks after giving birth, her mom took her to the hospital because they were worried about how much she was sleeping. I don't know what tests, if any, they did at that time, but they wouldn't admit her. The next morning, they could barely get her out of bed. The hospital admitted her this time and diagnosed her with postpartum preeclampsia. She a massive stroke the next day and went into a coma. They tried to remove the clots in her brain, but there were too many, and they couldn't stop the bleeding in her brain. The next day she was declared brain dead. Two days later they took her off life support and she died in 15 minutes. She was only 22 and was getting married in a few months. She was also the third daughter her mother had lost - she only has one left.
I don't doubt that often women recover from postpartum preeclampsia, but sometimes they don't. A study from Turkey published in 2017 (Maternal mortality due to hypertensive disorders in pregnancy, childbirth, and the puerperium between 2012 and 2015 in Turkey: A nation-based study) found that 15.5% of maternal deaths were caused by hypertensive disorders (including preeclampsia), 98% of those deaths were postpartum, and about half of those deaths happened 8-42 days after delivery. It's really important for people to know about it and what the warning signs are and risk factors are. As wild as these medical drama stories are, I'm happy that they include things like this so people are at least aware that these lesser-known complications, diseases, and disorders exist, albeit not always presenting as described in the show.
I love how much work you put into this comment
I’m so sorry for you and your husband
So sorry about your husbands cousin. Unfortunately I had experienced myself postpartum eclampsia and had seizures during admission to maternity asessment unit , thankfully midwifes with doctors saved my life . Lucky I didnt have any complications but during all three pregnancies had high blood pressure problems. I had throbbing headaches for a week after delivering my first baby, hubby kept sending me to bed to get rest but headaches never went away so that night we decided to go to A&E. I was so unwell coulnt lift my head while sitting for 5 hours waiting in A&E. All pregnant women should be aware of those kind of conditions.
Ugh I'm so sorry. I had my son recently. He had to be in the NICU over an hr away. I left 16hrs after my c-section to be with him. Little over a week later, my legs/feet blew up. Numerous people told me to go in immediately. Postpartum preeclampsia. I had no idea I could get preeclampsia postpartum.... and this was my second. I wish they educated soon to be mom's that you can still develop it after you give birth.
I work in a pharmacy. I feel like this is something that should be highlighted in pharmacies too. Too many people just buy OTC meds, which are ok for non pregnant women. There is no separate guidance for new mothers. Though, I suppose after a week it is recommended that ppl visit a GP (physician)
Two things that save lives-
Dr. Mike: chest compressions,chest compressions,chest compressions!
MDJ: pregnancy test,pregnancy test,pregnancy test!
This is the honest truth 😂😂
😆
I just hope not at the same time.
I had the HELLP syndrome with my second pregnancy, so I understood what you were saying completely! The magnesium was so awful and thankfully, I was able to deliver my son safely at 34 weeks. Thank you for your opinion on this episode and pointing out the obvious question they should've asked first.
this alleviated my parthenogenetic-pregnancy-related fears, thank you
I was in the ER one night for my asthma. Very busy and I was in a room with two beds separated by a curtain. A very tired nurse came in to get vitals on the woman next to me who came in because she was in a car accident.
The nurse runs down the list of standard questions including the “any chance you are pregnant” then stops and says I can’t believe I just asked that. The patient and the nurse cracked up. The patient was in the ER because the paramedics wanted her to be checked to be sure the impact had not triggered preterm labor. 😜
Fun fact: I took seven pregnancy tests - including 2 in the gyn's office - all came back negative. The ultrasound showed I was 9 weeks pregnant. Evidently, there are some of us who are responsible for all those statistics about false negatives. ETA: Kidlet is now 15. Only problem during pregnancy was gall bladder related.
@@agirlwithdreams15 yes, one, which the doc said "looked like pregnant lady blood work, but the actual test is negative." Which is why we did the ultrasound.
Kidlet is a pretty name
Idk why but as a kid I thought the only reason for suicide was bullying..I soon realized it was not. I was never bullied but I struggled and still am struggling with depression and anxiety and insomnia and many suicide attempts. I feel for this girl even though it’s just a show.
Hi Alyssa, I hope things get better for you.
How are you feeling now
Hey! I worked as a child and adolescent psych nurse and now I am an adult psych nurse and I want you to know that these thoughts and feelings come in all shapes, sizes, genders and ages. It is a tough world right now. It has just been getting worse. I'm 26 now, so not that far out of high-school(jk I'm ancient), and I lived a horrific school life. These thoughts happen for many reasons, sometimes not for any reason. I hope you have reached out and gotten help. It's a journey, but as somebody who struggles actively with depression, anxiety, CPTSD, and now fibromyalgia and chronic fatigue syndrome bringing me down even more, it DOES get better. Hang in there. Hang on to anything. Even if you think it's too small and stupid to hang on for. I stuck around for new Legend of Zelda games and Taylor Swift albums. Still do, to be honest.
My point is, you're wanted and needed here and there are people who love you. Learning to love yourself if you struggle with that is kind of a bitch too but it's possible.
And if you're ever having a particularly bad day, take care of yourself. Do whatever you want to do. Take a bath. Lay in bed. Listen to loud, blaring music. Whatever you want.
And if you're feeling suicidal, though it goes against EVERY instinct in your body, don't even let yourself think about not reaching out. Just tell the first person you see. Get it off your chest. Don't wait. Don't Stew. Ask for help. Even call the police! Anything.
I know it's been 2 years but I hope your life has improved. ❤️
@@brookewilson1950 I don’t even remember leaving this comment 2 years ago and so much has happened since then. The crazy thing is, this is truly something I needed right now. Thank you💛
So glad I stood my ground with my gut bad feeling when I was pregnant. The Dr on call at our hospital that night said my symptoms were normal but I was gaining 10lbs a day suddenly. And I'm thankful my Dr got me in asap the next day because it was preeclampsia. Scares me to think how dangerous my situation was. Needless to say my kiddo wasnt born near my husbands birthday like expected. Came a lot earlier. Ive learned to trust my gut instinct on things since then. And I sympathise with anyone else who went through this. As preclampsia or eclampsia!
As a nurse, watching the doctors hang IV fluid bags has me dead.
Because it's not their job, or are they really bad at it?
alliesong77 I think they do touch on that in the series (don’t quote me) and house doesn’t trust nurses/ wants to make his team super vigilant about their patients/ make them work extra hard and thats why they do stuff that a nurse typically does
@@ginam.6787 I'm sure they could do it in a pinch, it's not rocket science, but generally speaking, its the nurses job. The shows often portray the doctors doing all the jobs of the nurse, so its funny because those things just don't really happen in real life.
As someone who is nearly and MD, this also has me rolling. I have never hung IV anything nor would I dare, because I would be sure to mess up something.
@@allaboutme418 We all have our roles, but they are usually not properly represented on tv. I always get a kick out of these shows when 2 MDs are giving a subcutaneous injection, LOL.
"There would have to be a guy between you and the toilet seat"
House has some legendary lines in this show.
my doctor when i was literally 7: have you had any sexual activity and is there a chance you are pregnant?
me: wtf does that mean
this show: whats a pregnancy test?
how did they become doctors 😭
This episode is so heartbreaking and sweet in Cuddy’s arc, although also very satisfying. I was crying with joy at the end.
My mom had pre-eclampsia! If any pregnant women see this comment KNOW YOUR BODY! My mom was going in for a routine check up and when they checked her blood pressure it was in the “normal” range. My mom has always had VERY low blood pressure and she had to beg the doctor to check her chart because they checked her blood pressure multiple times and it was normal every time. She insisted that it was too high and finally the doctor did check her previous blood pressure and the rest is a quick history of me being induced :P
As a veteran, this episode always cracks me up. They'd preg test us if we had a cough. No way is a military doctor missing this one hahaha
Oh my god 😂 I’ll never forget getting pregnancy tests before getting any prescriptions. Bless Tricare, but I do not miss the Naval hospital at all.
You know, I specifically remember going to the ER after getting kicked in the head with a horse. Everything was held up while they were trying to figure out if I was pregnant. I told them I was a virgin. They said, we got to do the test anyway.
Granted I was just kicked in the head so maybe they thought I might not remember. But given that, I can't imagine going into a hospital and they never test if I'm pregnant at this point.
“Im fat. I'm a loser. They all hate me.”
As someone who has been struggling with weight and mental health issues for years that hit hard...that really did. Because that was my mindset when I was younger (around 12) and it still is now(I just turned 15 this month). But don't worry I am getting help and I am trying to take care of myself better. I know it's not gonna be easy but I'm already feeling a little better now. I have dropped at least 10 pounds I my self confidence has gone up a little bit. I'm very glad I have a family who is there by my side and is supporting me every step of the way. And for anyone else who is going through struggling with weight and mental health issues just remember that you are not alone. You are never alone even if you feel like you are alone. I know I'm just a stranger but if you ever need to rant in the replies I will gladly read and talk to you. Have a great day and night everyone and remember that you are beautiful/handsome and that you matter. Everyone is beautiful/handsome in their own way. Drink some water and get some sleep ok? I believe in you all :)
Happy that you have a family that stands by you but my father is the reason I have body dismorphia and my family doesn't believe me when I say I'm not doing well mentally so 😪
Hey bud, hope you are doing well.
im 33 but i can relate struggling with my weight and mental health too. especially in the last year or so :( sometimes it feels lonely and hopeless. this post reminded me im not alone although it sometimes feels like it
It's one of the reasons I never really got into this show--the constant fatphobia in the various scripts, especially that displayed by House himself.
This episode was ludicrously hilarious to me because as someone who’s chronically ill and in the hospital often I can barely see a nurse or get a Tylenol before they demand a pregnancy test. But sure, this person who’s gone through something as invasive as a bone marrow biopsy hasn’t been tested, lmao.
YES THIS LMAO
I’m constantly in the hospital and a pregnancy test is the FIRST thing they do lmao
By the time they figured out it was pre-eclampsia I'm pretty sure the girl's mother said "But the pregnancy test was negative" so it was asked about off screen, but the patient wasn't upfront about it. She said the test would still turn up positive in at least the first 4 weeks... my question is how in the world did they examine her vaginally bleeding without noticing she was postpartum??
@@BrightAsDawn My original comment was a joke lmao but you're totally right about the exam. I swear most of the people in House shouldn't have passed medical school lol
Having had an unnecessary bone marrow biopsy, would not recommend
@@IvoryValentine22 this, they would have failed horribly
“They sure jump to treatments without knowing what’s going on”, that’s the House way
And they somehow always thank him despite being subjected to torture before he followed common sense, LOL.
The saddest med-mal case I handled involved a young girl who wasn't timely diagnosed with postpartum eclampsia and she stroked out in the waiting room. She never woke up.
Patient: "I have a mild cough" Wilson: "Shes gonna need to be started on Chemo...immediately".
Everyone commenting "WhY DiDn'T tHeY dO a PrEgNancY TesT?!" when they say in the show that they did one and it came back negative. Also if they asked her about when her last period was, I'm sure she would have lied and tried to cover up the truth.
Especially given "Everybody lies" is one of the most common things House says throughout the series.
Honestly, they probably commented before getting through the video
Well maybe she didn't lie. She may have already had her first postpartum period.
Not every female has a regular period. In fact, it is fairly common for both very obese and very athletic females to not have regular periods. Extremes are weird like that sometimes.
InfernosReaper keywords: she may
Yes not everyone, but lots of people get their first PP period early. That’s why she said "she may have already had her period"
I got mine at 4 months PP, it’s definitely possible.
As a young female ANY TIME I’ve been to the ER they give me a pregnancy test
Exactly. They're so fast, easy and cheap now.
Yes I’ve had the same experiences
Same once a doctor looked at me caues I was over weight made me take 3 test then a ultrasound it was humiliating funny thing I was 14 and a virgin
Anime Logic i was dealing with a lot of doctors due to stomach issues and it got so bad I carried a negative one with me to the doctors just to be like “ no I’m not fucking pregnant “
I took my cousin to the ER for what appeared to be an aesmatha attack (no history) when she was 15, and atleast while I was there (they took her away for chest x-rays), they didn't ask her any questions about sexual activity or treat her for anything other than aesmatha....
i was in the hospital for about a week back in the fall. they asked if i could be pregnant so many times. after the first three days i almost snapped back “no, are you?”
Me: gets asked about my period and risk of pregnancy when going to the hospital for a knee injury
House: her pregnancy will forever remain a mystery
"You can't just take someone's baby."
This is the type of esoteric medical wisdom I'm here for.
Dr. Meredith Grey : "Hold my 10th blade"
4 minutes in with 2 symptoms and she's already like "pre-eclampsia" and it took house 40 minutes to figure out
Because she knew it was gyno related
@@starman3533 House didnt figure it out, Cutty did.
No she said it could be an ectopic or a miscarriage
Cause it's a tv show
because the ER ruled out pregnancy before she became House's patient, as said in the episode
I loved the show House. There were 2 reasons. I loved the interplay between all of the characters. I also loved learning about different diseases (not that the show explained them) by researching it on the internet. I agree with your statement about running all sorts of serious tests/therapies without further diagnosis.
Well, it would be very hard to create 8 seasons worth of episodes where each case is something real doctors can't figure out. So it's impossible for House and his team to be smarter than actual doctors. But they don't have to be. All they have to be is better doctors than most of us. And, let me tell you, i had no idea what that girl had.
I haven’t told my family yet, but I’m gonna tell you strangers on the internet lol. I’m pregnant!!!! This is my first time and I’m super excited but low key terrified as well. 🤰
Edit: thank you all for the well wishes!!!! It means a lot to me 💜💜💜
Awwww! Congrats!
Congratulations!
Congratulations
AHHHHHH CONGRATULATIONS ❤❤❤
Congrats 🥳
This video makes me wonder if all of the “difficult” cases on House were only so difficult because the drs were incompetent 🤦🏻♀️
The main theme is always everybody lies. Most people on the show lie to the doctors and the team figure it out.
Yeah MDJ calling it out right away 😂 oops House
They're only 'difficult' to make it more 'intersting' and suspenseful. But for people who have any kind of medical training, it makes this show unbearable to watch because we call out all the B.S. that it tries to pull just to get a bigger reaction out of the audience.
What angers me is that had this young lady been black, the first thing doctors ask is if she has been pregnant! I've been to the emergency room dozens of times and doctors ask me that! Likewise, a good girlfriend of mine had Aids. The doctor didn't test her for it, but I was!
fredrika27 they did a pregnancy test in the ER in the episode. Pay attention before you making false racism claims.
I tried to be nice to everyone. When I was 20 I was working part time at Subway. One of my classmates came in and told me I was the only person who was never mean to her in high school. That I said hello to her every morning and asked her how she was. That some days I was the only person teachers included that even spoke to her. That small amount of kindness that I didn't even think twice about meant the world to her at the time.
I love how excited she was for 300k and now when it’s a year and she’s at 700k!
Or damn near a million these days!!
House gets all the cases other doctors can't figure out.
3 minutes in, MDJ: preeclampsia
The audience knew the answer and they threw it to her..
Isn't that in character for him? When you deal with so much crazy shit every day you can absolutely not notice a simple answer
house: never asks for a pregnancy test
my doctor knowing im a trans woman but biologically male : any chance youre pregnant?
Omg u win with that comment.
😂 that's one intelligent doc
steffany Smith I believe if someone identifies as a woman, they are obligated to ask you the same questions they ask women who are biologically female.
@@emisformusic3375 That would be a bit silly, wouldn't it? I'm all for respecting someone's identity - using the right pronouns etc. But asking pointless questions in a medical exam just seems like a waste of time and energy for everyone involved.
@@alessandrac1940 he was mostly being nice and joking at the same time haha
8:05 In every medical drama I see they always hold down a seizing person. As someone who has both had a grand mal seizure and received rudimentary first aid training in seizures, you NEVER hold someone down when they are seizing (at least if it's grand mal). It's unproductive (it won't stop the seizure) and also could be very dangerous. When someone is seizing, their muscles are contracting extremely fast (biting the tongue is common, which happened with me), they could easily break a bone if you hold them down. The best thing to do with them is clear any objects they could hurt themselves with, wait until the seizure is over, then place them on their side to prevent them from choking if they vomit.
I love that you always remind people to be kind to themselves, to each other, and in the comments. It's such an important thing that I can't understand why people forget so often. Thank you for reminding those that need it. I don't know how many of them actually follow that advice but I am glad that you are giving it. Your content is always super positive, informative, and kind to others. Thank you for providing an important source of information, science advocacy, and care for humans.
You should do review “Jane the Virgin” season 1 episode 1 !!
Eliza Melendez YES
YES!!!!!!!!!!!!! THAT IS MY FAVORITE SHOW!!!!!!!!! ❤❤❤❤
Yessss
Yes pls
YES
my profs like to say, "assume pregnant until proven otherwise"
I don’t understand why parents get so offended when you ask their 17 year old if there’s a chance. Like I’m sorry but it’s highly likely you don’t know what your child does when you aren’t around.
Savannah Fontana because you’re asking if their child has lied to their face or not.
@@savannahfontana4386 13 year olds these days are having sex. Honestly, these days- it's VERY likely that their 17 year old is pregnant. The world is doomed.
BBQSauceOnMyTitties teen pregnancy rates have been down for a while
@@quirkypurple3 Yes but the age that kids are getting pregnant at is also getting lower. Years ago, you just had to worry about your 15/16 year old getting pregnant.
Now you have to also worry about your 12/13 year old getting pregnant.
Watching this and seeing the bullying going on and all the bullying I've heard from every woman I know who was in HS makes me really grateful I was homeschooled.
Also love the video. I'm also a fan of the Doctor Mike youtube channel. I love that people in the medical fields are going over things like this - just to help people be more informed! So good!
Congrats on 300k(1.15 million)! You earned it by being Upfront, Comforting, and Trustworthy!
Doc who did my hysterectomy: Any chance you're pregnant?
Me: hahaha Were you asleep in the or?
If you were pregnant, I'd demand a refund for that proceedure.
Concerning
That would concern me about what organ they took out.
ok i had an ovariectomy when i was 5 but never got that question from any doctor who knows my file ! God this is limit scary
"I don't know let me ask"
*pulls your uterus in a jar out of your bag, and proceeds to use it like a Magic Eight Ball*
house: doesnt ask if she's pregnant,
my doctor when i got diagnosed with ADHD and Anxiety at age 9, "any chance you could be pregnant?"
Normal doctors: immediately ask when your last period was, and if it's changed.
Tv doctors: let's just do everything except testing periods, because that would be to easy.
( Possibly not original, I give credit to anyone who might have made this joke before. )
Watching from 1.14m subscribers, and rememberingvhow far we've come. Thank you for all you've taught us, and all you continue to teach us❤
I can see Mama Doctor Jones’ frustration increasing each second that goes by without a pregnancy test
Them: never asks if she’s pregnant
Me going to the doctor at 7: *is there any chance u could be pregnant*
@Esi Legendary yes if a person has the parts and is even relatively close to puberty age all the way to post menopausal ages they will ask and test for pregnancy just to rule out the possibility
@Elise absolutely a section of 7 years old have periods
16:28 - thank you so much Mama Doctor Jones! I was seen in the Urgent Care not long after giving birth to my daughter because I thought I had Pre-eclampsia. They look at me like I was crazy and said this only occurs during pregnancy.
My! There are so few people that I have run across as intelligent as you, and can explain things 'on the run' without having to look things up and be able to convey it in such a simple but correct manner that a reasonably educated individual can follow. Thank you for all that you do, and I wish that I could understudy with you just to be half as competent. Biggest Hugs!
Graduate student in my class: I didn't spend as much time as I wanted on my paper this week. My wife and I were at the doctor several times. She's pregnant and the baby is breech...I don't know if you're familiar with what that is.
My first response: I watch mama doctor jones. Of course I know what that is!
What I actually said: mmh-hmm, yes I am familiar.
You rock, mdj :)
I was a breech baby. Both my mum.and I are ok now. I hope your family is ok too.
"Is there any possibility you could be pregnant?"
THAT'S LITERALLY LIKE THE 3-4TH QUESTION I GET ASKED!!!
Introverted Gal Me, too. Especially when I have to get an MRI. Even though I have never had sex or even a boyfriend.
Ivy Dex Why with an MRI? They are harmless to a growing fetus? X-rays on the other hand are dangerous for pregnant women.
Gah sorta the same for me but with vaccines at school, I cant never say “I am not sure.” Cause theres like 50 other people in the same room lmao.
Cause honestly I am not very safe at all with sex and I can easily fuck up one time but I can never tell the truth in that sort of situation lol 😞
Let me tell you how much medical professionals LOVE ME* when I reply to that question with "There's always a possibility: no birth control is 100% effective"
*They actually hate it. In ~25 years, that's never gotten me so much as an eye roll. But my day will come.
@@SuperUsername147 MRIS like any other exam can have radiation but, not a lot. Also the medications you’re given when being in a MRI scan
Seeing the "Virgin birth" on the thumbnail, I thought there will be something about accidental inseminating without penetration, so that the girl is still technically virgin. But ended up reading about HELLP syndrome and the symptoms I should be aware of when pregnancy is in context. Thanks a lot for a video!
That happens more often than you might think. Cotton is not an approved prophylactic.
*Wow the fact that you solved the case 3 mins in without knowing it shows that you're an amazing doctor!*
I was 13 when I had my first ovarian cyst, it was the beginning of 10 years of an ongoing amount of surgeries, doctors consults and ER visits, I'm a virgin and every time I go to tge ER, they ask if I could be pregnant, nope I'm a virgin.. They take blood and urine and about an hour later they always come back telling me I'm indeed not pregnant! Wow you're kidding! I thought I was virgin mary or something!
Lenthe Schutten it’s so amusing to me when they announce it to you. Like wow I had no idea thank you for this information

@@Lainlein I did get a little bit.. 😂😅
Last time I went to A&E, the nurse gave me a pregnancy test even though I told her I was 26 weeks pregnant!
Oh my goodness why?! 😂😂
well... maybe she was suspecting a miscarriage or something else. doctors sometimes conduct tests to confirm suspicions first before making you worry when considering a serious diagnosis. im not in the gynecologic field though, so its just a guess.
It's been a while since I've seen this episode of House and I've forgotten some of it, but I remember loving it.
Your videos are a joy to watch, just the perfect amount of commentary and very educational
On House, they treat without a definitive diagnosis ALL THE TIME. It's almost exclusively because it serves the drama of the show.
Susan Postma House should basically be called Ex juvantibus the show
@susan no doubt, but the redeeming factor in House is they established a universe where House founded a department that gets consulted solely to deal with complicated cases that have to solved against time.
That is reasonable grounds for suspension of disbelief
Yeah, let's not forget that it's a tv show. Things are gonna be dramatic and not 100% accurate.
If treatment works, thats definitive diagnosis. If it doesn't, well House will figure it out xD
@@whatsthecrux If treatment works, that is NOT a definitive diagnosis. Multiple diseases can have the same treatment. If the treatment works forever, that renders the question of diagnosis moot but does NOT guarantee that the diagnosis that led to that treatment was correct.
The very first House episode includes prescribing steroids based on a bad diagnosis. These steroids make the patient (Rachel Adler) feel better, which gets Cuddy off of House's back ... for a little while. Then the patient gets much worse, and the question of correct diagnosis has to be addressed all over again. It also confirms that that Cuddy was right to reject House's "treatment to confirm diagnosis" approach. It's an exact case study on the pitfalls of treatment as a means of diagnosis.
"That;s not your baby. You're tiny, no way you gave birth three weeks ago"
Me looking at photos of myself 5 days after the birth of my son going 'I'm literally the same size I was BEFORE I got pregnant'
Same! I thought: wtf, some are! 10 days after birth, I weighed 5 kilo's less then before my pregnancy! My baby was eating me #breastfeeding. :D (I gained 13 kilo's in pregnancy and lost 18 within the first 10 days after birth)
My sister in law is even skinnier now than she was before she gave birth lol breastfeeding really does the job
I read that you need more calories breastfeeding than when you are pregnant
@@krystal4378 First time I realized that, was through a feeding chart for cats, I saw at the veterinarian's office :)
I weighed 12 lbs LESS the day after my son was born than I did the day I got pregnant... Thank you Hyperemises 😒
Also, I had HELP syndrome during that pregnancy... Not one doctor explained what was going on and I was terrified the whole time. A completely different doctor, around the time my son was 3 and I was pregnant with my daughter, told me about it and was very specific about what we needed to do and watch out for during the second pregnancy.
I just discovered this channel, and I LOVE it!!!! The first two I watched were demonetized. This one showed me that she KNOWS how to do sponsorship correctly and ethically. Hair care products aren’t going to influence her knowledge of reproductive health care but still provide targeted exposure that benefits the sponsor (and thereby keeps the channel going). Well done and brava!!!!!!! Media production and funding was something that I studied in college. It’s a difficult topic. Without funding there would be no media (in this case intelligent and educational media) but the other side of that is undue influence by sponsors. She LITERALLY FIXED THIS AGE-OLD CONFLICT!!!!! Very impressed.
And that’s not to mention all of the extremely valuable information on this channel. Doubly impressed :D
I love how confident Mama dr Jones is. She does all sorts of things that I used to do before my peers figuratively beat it out of me. I’m impressed that she is able to be herself, especially while on the internet with people who have fewer inhibitions to be nasty.
I’m asked every time I see a doctor, within the first 5 minutes, when my last period was, and if I could be pregnant. How are they forgetting this simple step?!
They did test
I mean, the last 5 times I was in the ER, they never asked that
aebbingeable yaaaa AFTER they were about to start chemo! Usually that’s the first question
Paste Eater yikes, really? That’s one of the VERY first things I’m always asked. Even at a younger age, I want to say like 13-14, they still always asked that!
