    When I was struggling after my (very planned, very wanted) first born arrived, my mother said "you don't have to love him now - what has he done so far other than make you tired and sad? Just be patient and the love will come." Best advice I have ever gotten. The first six weeks were rough and then it all came together.

      Melania Cannon Also, postpartum depression is very real. Even if someone doesn’t have it to the extent of it affecting their day to day life, it could still make you not feel very close to your baby. I like your mom’s statement though, it’s very true. You might love them cause they’re your kid, doesn’t mean you have to always like them.

    My sister had a "Tubal baby" baby after tubal. She found out at 20 weeks. My niece was born end of Sept. They named her Autumn Grace because she was born in Autumn by the Grace of God. My sister said when she told the guy who did her epidural that this was a tubal baby, he asked who the doctor was that did her tubal and when she told him, the guy turned white as a ghost. When asked what was wrong, he said "He did my wife's tubal🤣🤣🤣

      you need to consider though that the 0,8% are usually "the number of women using this contraceptive who do get pregnant", especially considering most people with tubal ligation are at least over 30 this already factors in a "general" probability of pregnancy of maybe 10% (just guessing here). So the odds would be more like 0.1-0,2%. Still low, but not quite as low

I'm much more comfortable knowing that the failure rate for the surgery I had is so low, that for the only case I could find where someone documented it failing, they also wrote that they believe it was the only instance of failure ever on record. That's a BARELY low enough chance of pregnancy for me!

    There’s a reason why doctors jokingly call it “tubal litigation”. I got pregnant a year after I had a tubal ligation, even though my OBGYN said, her words, I was tied and fried and it would a miracle if I got pregnant again. Well. The miracle happened, but unfortunately it didn’t stick. I had miscarriage in the bathroom while getting an ultrasound to make certain there was no ectopic pregnancy. Talk about emotional turmoil. Freaked by an unwanted pregnancy on one day, and in agonized grief over the loss of it the next. Hormones never help in these situations.

      My mom sadly went through the same thing. She started having weird cravings and my sister and I picked up on it and asked if she was pregnant again. She said yes.

We were devastated. I honestly still am 😅 I still think about my sibling in heaven. I think it was so hard on my mom she never really talked about it again.

      @@ems7623 it's really not an odd choice of words though. It is unfortunate when we loose a baby doesn't matter what the circumstances are it's 99.9% of the time always a tragedy that we feel very deeply even if the pregnancy was unwanted. Just because we don't want the baby doesn't mean we don't want to birth the baby and give it up for adoption. We don't know the circumstances so we cannot judge. And by the way there's multiple reasons for someone to have such a procedure and some of them are actually medical reasons. My mom for example had to do this procedure because of her health (not exactly sure as she never talked much about it but it was something due to her health) well she fell pregnant with my step dad. The first two months went fine. She was shocked, confused but happy. She was feeling a mix of emotions which were normal. She lost the baby and it was devastating to all of us, especially my mom, so much so she has never spoken about it since the loss. Not a word. It hurt her so badly to lose that baby. So in My opinion using unfortunately is not an odd thing to say. It is unfortunate when we loose our babies. Especially when we haven't even been given the time to wrap our heads around the fact we are pregnant before we loose the baby.

      @@ems7623 I had two previous stillborn babies, one at full term, the other at 28 weeks, ten months apart. Having another baby a year later with medical intervention was terrifying, but successful. After that, having birthed two live children (losing the two in between), I was done with that part of my life. Getting pregnant after having my tubes tied was not in the plan. But discovering I was pregnant again was both terrifying (at first) and then devastating when I lost it. Also, hormones don’t help with emotions around these kinds of life altering events. Hope that clears up any confusion.

      My son was a week overdue and weighed 9 pounds 5 1/2 ounces at birth. He was 22 inches long and his cheeks went down to his chest- no neck. He was enormous and not at all cute yet. That took a while:) Not all babies are beautiful, not even to their mamas. I loved him from the start but I'm a realist.
      Incidentally, he was a first for the hospital I went to in several ways. He was their biggest baby since the hospital had opened about 40 years before. He was the first baby in the new delivery room set up to resemble a bedroom instead of an operating room. They had built two nurseries but he was the first to be put in the second. It was a baby boom and the second nursery, up to that point, had only ever been used for storage. He became a mini-celebrity at that hospital and drew a crowd when I brought him in for asthma at 5 months. Everyone had to come see him. It was so strange.

Doctors told her she potentially had a cyst? Had a ultrasound and the doctor said “welp, your cyst has arms and legs” she was 6 months along at this point. They theorised that her operation could have reversed due to a slipped disc that was being treated with traction?

This comment is probably arbitrary on the platform of the UA-cam comment section, but I wanted you, Mama Doctor Jones, to know just how much respect I have for you and what you do. The Ob/Gyn I worked with was a young mom, and let me tell you, seeing her crush it as an obstetrician, gynecologist, and surgeon, while also fulfilling the role of a mother of two kids, was the most awe-inspiring things I've ever witnessed. To all the laypeople out there, if you've ever met a female ObGyn who is also raising a family, then you've met a real-life superhero, because it is a feat to do either well, and superhuman to do both well.

      It's a cultural misnomer to state women having babies in their mid 40s is unusual. Here in northern Europe it is normal to begin your periods from 8 and finish in your 60s, with pregnancy occurring into a woman's 50s. My own grandmother had her last at 59. Women here often don't plan to have children until their 40s and do so naturally. In different parts of the world reproductive viability changes dramatically according to genetics.

      It doesn’t matter if your female and having issues with your period doctors will always make you do a pregnancy test regardless.

She’d refuse though because it would bring up a whole lot of other issues for her emotionally etc.

      It doesn't effect your ability to get pregnant, but it does make you carry weight differently. Also you experience more pressure on your bladder than normal and can cause more back pain.
      They used to think it did effect fertility, but they've since learned otherwise.

      Em Bachelder I remember at one point my uterus looked retroverted and one doctor (of many i saw over that time period) said that you might get pregnant more* easily from that, but I couldn’t find any research to back that up. The last time I was examined they said my uterus wasn’t retroverted & was told it can move around, and it doesn’t normally impact fertility. They also said it can impact how certain sex positions feel (some are less comfortable or even painful sometimes) and stuff like that

      @@crappyaccount it was a long haul! I had a kidney blockage from 6 kidney stones in my right ureter and so I had to have a nephrostomy tube! That really sucked in addition to that the kidney stones kept bringing preterm labor so I had to have a terbutaline pump at the same time and 10 weeks of bed rest! But my Turner Stone is an absolute sweetheart and just turned 14 last Sunday! We would not trade him for the world. He was my fifth cesarean and by the time I had surgery the uterine wall was so thin they could see his hair. It was a scary time but we knew our family was complete with him being number five.

    Adam Ruins Everything had an episode dedicated to babies and pregnancy, and he too said that it was ok to not immediately fall in love with your baby; citing research that it was common, back in the days of not-so-good health care and babies often not making it past a few days of life, for mothers to not get attached quickly. The "motherly instincts" that everyone talks about is more a myth than science, according to the episode and its sources.

      This is good to know. I struggled with this myself for a year. I loved my little guy, but just came out of an abusive relationship and was going through cptsd. The feelings eventually came with gradual healing. I think the thing to remember is regardless of attachment, love itself is an action and choice, implemented.
