The Same As Wanda’s In WandaVision. Because It’s Set In A Sitcom Universe. They’re Mimicking That Kinda Thing. Considering That That Episode Takes Place As A 70s Sitcom, I Don’t Think They’d Be The Most Accurate With Any Sort Of Birth Scene.
It SHOULD have been more realistic, even in a fantasy universe. What a pile of crap. Super traumatic for young audiences and perpetuates the image of the suffering martyr woman during birth that comes from christianity. Also the doctor talked about the nausea and the blood being realistic, she didn't criticize the vampire stuff seriously.
Re: the "hee-hee-hoo" breathing, I was a Labor & Delivery nurse in the '80s (before this doctor was born, no doubt!). That was a legitimate breathing technique we used when labor was progressing too quickly. The patient had the urge to push but the cervix wasn't fully dilated. She might have injured herself if she pushed too soon. We also used it when the Mom was ready to deliver and her obstetrician wasn't there yet! It makes the doctor look bad if they miss the birth. LOL. I use this breathing technique still today. When I have a strong urge to urinate and can't get to a bathroom. It relaxes the muscles of the pelvis and the urge to push passes for a short time. This trick has saved me from embarrassing accidents many times.🙄
I would have been safe. I didn't make a sound the whole time. I apologized for all the noise afterwards and they looked at me like I was mad because I was silent. I was screaming in my head.
My personal opinion is the screaming is funny with the song, but unrealistic as the doctor would most likely tell her to put that energy into pushing, and contractions can be so intense it renders you silent.
In my 1st trimester, I couldn't stand the smell of meat. It all smelled spoiled. By my 3rd trimester I was scarfing down red meat. My baby is a vegetarian 😂😂😂
My first pregnancy, I couldn't stand the smell of most meat. Except sometimes I'd be all about bacon, which I found odd, since prior to that pregnancy, I didn't like bacon at all. Now the second time around, it's certain produce, like mushrooms. I normally love mushrooms, but now they make me want to barf.
Fetal heart rate can drop when a woman is giving birth on her back and sometimes it will go back to normal when she changes positions. This should always be tried before a c section. Fetal heart rate can also drop slightly during contractions and this can be normal.
Yea I think she should have clarified that sustained fetal bradycardia (after trying position changes and after the contract resolves) is an indication for c section!
When I was in labor with my 2nd daughter I was at a teaching hospital and an intern gave me my epidural. I passed out in the middle of it, they had to give me epinephrine to get me back. My bp dropped, and my baby's heartbeat dropped a ton for a minute. Heartbeats can drop for a lot of different reasons. Luckily, it all worked out and she was born happy and healthy.
Yup. They were panicking about the heartbeat during my second birth but in reality baby was on her way out! Regular heart monitoring really hinders birth more than it helps in most cases.
Lol it's so crazy how your taste in food changes. I could not handle pizza when I was pregnant with one of my daughters. I got sick the first few times I tried to eat it while pregnant with her, and then just surrendered and stopped trying. I still don't care for pizza though, except maybe once or twice a year.
@@AndreaWitt745 I had the opposite happen with chicken nuggets. I grew out of enjoying them sometime during my childhood and then suddenly started loving them again when I got pregnant. I started eating a lot of crap that I used to dislike before and still haven't quite recovered my healthier tastes eight months postpartum.
Relatable! I was not a vegetarian but more or less pescatarian with very a occasional chicken breast meal. in my pregnancy I wanted to eat lamb chops, lamb kebab and minced beef.
Fun fact; because Call the Midwife is a BBC production, the child labour laws are different in the UK to those in the US so this is why you often see "newborns" in this show more accurate to size as apose to babies in American tv because they aren't allowed to use infants younger than 3 months. (Found this out a few years ago, so some things may have changed)
Not a movie, but would like to see a follow up to this including the BBC drama "Call The Midwife". They use animatronic babies for the new borns to allow for "Added realism" during the birthing scenes.
Not all of them are movies. Jane the Virgin, Wandavision, and Scrubs are TV shows. And yes Mama Doctor Jones has done a couple videos on Call the Midwife. She’s great.
@@charmax88 in general, yes they use real babies, but for a number of the births they made use of animatronic babies (plus some CGI) to allow for more realistic scenes. Baby Kirk from season 8, for example.
That pregnancy scene in Friends is the most accurate scene I've ever seen on TV...how she gives birth is exactly how it was for me. Its a great example
@@Jackferrett6781 I've had 2 kids (with more on the way) and I can tell you that scene is pretty realistic. (also, my mom had 9 natural births and said the same thing.)
My water broke at home in the middle of the night. I thought I just peed myself until a contraction hit and it became obvious. I collected my things and drove myself to the hospital at 2am. It was a crazy.
@@emmac329 so I get to the hospital and I'm checking into the er. They ask why I'm they're since I look fine and I tell them my water broke able 2 hours prior. They turned ghost white and out of nowhere there's a wheelchair and a nurse from L&D. It didn't hit me that my son was actively on his way until I asked how long they were going to keep me for observation. My nurse laughed and said, "honey, we are going to 'observe' you until well after you have this baby". Labor can do funny things to you😂🤷♀️
My sister had the same thing. In the middle of the night, she thought she peed. Went to work the next day, thinking nothing of it until the contractions hit. She didn't even make it out of the ambulance, had her baby in it at the hospital parking lot lol
“When you have a set birth plan, you have to be flexible...” Just consider it a trial run in parenting. “I want you to do this... but you’re doing that. Alright, lemme show you how to do it without getting hurt.”
My birthplan was actually quite perfectly executed by the midwife in the hospital: no doctor or medical intervention unless really needed, move around freely and try the tub, if I feel like it. I only saw the doctor for the stitches, gave birth in the tub and had no more than local anesthesia for the stitches.
When I was pregnant with my first, I decided not to have a birth plan. I had read far too many comments online from women who had been extremely disappointed with their birth experience, because they had had something go off plan during the birth. Some of them were mourning their failed plan still many years later. So I decided that my birth plan would be: "Preferably a vaginal delivery. Baby survives. I survive. Everything else, we'll roll with the punches." Guess what? Successful birth plan.
My mom went for a check up and she was eight centimeters dilated. She drove herself to the hospital and her water broke at registration. I was born twenty-seven minutes later.
Rosemary's Baby, The Omen trilogy, except he's pretty much a deadbeat dad in all of those and owes at the very least 18 years of back child support so he'd probably stay away.
Yeah every time a baby is “born” in a movie or in a series I say, “it’s a boy/girl…here’s your two year old baby.” Yeah they generally don’t use brand new born babies in movies or in series because they are well new borns and those scenes can take hours to days to get it right so generally if a smaller baby is needed they will use a doll or just use an older baby if it’s not that desperate or realistic needing.
It's not really unrealistic though. My first born was 9lbs and 21-1/2 inches long. My 4th daughter was 11lbs and 20 inches long, and was obviously born via cesarian. My two in between were "normal" sizes. It's crazy how much it can vary.
@@justanotheronlineobserver3387 Well, most newborns that are healthy are good to go home on the first day or so. They stay pretty tiny for the first weeks. I imagine many parents are far to focussed on getting used to their new life to be interested in doing this kind of work.
I mean why did anyone expect Wanda's birth to be considered even remotely normal normal people don't have universe-altering abilities that can speed up their pregnancy from 9 months to 3 days.
It was accurate for giving birth in a non hospital environment. In the hospital you have the epidural which is why most women don’t scream like they do in movies
Mine were chewable. Thanks to hyperemesis though I vomited every time I took them. Life hates me. Lucky my pregnancy is still healthy and my baby has a perfectly developed spine.
Regarding the breathing technique used in WandaVision: I’ve seen many birth vlogs and of all of them, I’ve seen one person do that. Also, in the show Monica (Wanda’s friend who was helping her), isn’t trained and that breathing pattern is quite a common stereotype so it’s an honest mistake that she would tell her to do that.
Having given birth four times, my mum hates the fact that doctors will often have mothers giving birth on their backs. It frustrates her so much bc it's not efficient and seems to be more for the sake of the doctor than the person who is actually giving birth! I was also watching a French film, forgot the name, where everything in society regarding gender roles was switched, and they had a scene where a woman gave birth completely upright. It was really interesting
I gave birth in Germany and in most hospitals here no one wants a woman to be on her back, unless she needs a rest after hours of labour or has a c-section. The delivery rooms have clothes hanging from the ceiling, there are balls and small stools to sit on, tubs to give birth in, the beds are really big and the only time I have seen stirrups was when they screwed some onto the bed to give me stitches. By the way I was naked (unthinkable for many people in the USA), because it’s called labour for a reason and the rooms were pretty well heated (I think about 26-28°C). Your mum would probably love my experience.
@@jennyh4025 that sounds a little odd to me from an American perspective but so much more freeing and respectful of the womans needs and acknowledging it as a natural process and not a medical procedure.
@@KD-ou2np according to my midwives and pretty much all experts I‘ve heard, giving birth vaginally on your back is the worst possible way. You’re actually working against everything evolution developed for human births and gravity. Just think about the fact that a part of the lower back „pops out“ while giving birth. Do you really want this to happen, while you are on your back? It’s to make the whole process easier, if you are on your back, you put a lot of pressure on it and hinder the process.
@@jennyh4025 i hate how sexism has pervaded medical science... so much suffering caused to women all for the egos of arrogant ppl who thought they knew better than real biology and history. I once read journal by a 1800s naturalist who described indigenous women of the place he was visiting as more "animalistic" when giving birth, whereas the women of his culture were more "civilized" in his eyes. But of course they were likely just forced by sexist cultural norms of the time about being quiet and proper at all times to restrict themselves even during birth.
I’m so glad I’m not a girl. I know getting kicked in the testicles hurts a lot, but pregnancy pains seem to last longer, then you have to get stitches, can’t have sex for a certain period of time and some other stuff. It’s safe to say all woman are real Super Hero’s👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼💪🏼💪🏼💪🏼
"Seem to last longer" made me chuckle. My mom was in labor with me for 25 hours, and that's not even close to a record for childbirth. 38 years later, she still won't let me forget it, and I can't even remember it!
Bar people who have had an invasive medical procedure surrounding birth or pregnancy, in which the patient may be advised to rest; you have as much sex as you wish during pregnancy and as soon as you feel like afterwards. You are not banned from having sex, many people find it uncomfortable, but there is no ‘can’t’ involved.
@@stephaniecolclough5569 uh, that's not really true. It's an extremely bad idea to start have sex right after giving birth. You risk causing further injury (not to mention pain) if you don't pet everything heal fully.
With the heartbeats. I remember when i was my small and my sister had her first child, i was laying my head by the baby cuz i was listening to her sleep and i got so scared cuz i was like " whys her heart beating so fast!! Shes having an attack!! Call 911!!!" And she just laughed and honestly looking back it must have been so funny
A fiction book I've got by my bed tells me that the Hee Hee Hoo breathing is an element of something called the Lamaze technique. Wikipedia tells me that this technique (the thing as a whole, not just the breathing) is not considered best practice by most doctors today.
Yeah it's best to let the contraction do its job and breathe fully and slowly, or like through a straw, to help the contraction, relax other parts of your body and not make yourself panic.
Pieces of a woman was so graphically accurate that you could have easily thought the actress was actually giving birth if you didn’t know it was a movie.
I think that sometimes absurd scenes can be a good base for education, like if something is absurd you have many myths or just super unrealistic situations to debunk in one short video haha
Lol, Bella's is supposed to be! Vampire human hybrid baby, Bella getting thinner and thinner as the baby is pulling blood away from her, and a month pregnant.
I was hoping for the Children of Men scene, for some insight into how a birth seems portrayed when the mom is in less than ideal conditions. Woulda been cool!
Do a video in which a Judge Advocate General Corp (JAG Corp) lawyer n movies & tv shows like JAG, A Few Goodmen, Rules Of Engagement, Men Of Honour, etc.
The bit about which muscles push the baby out reminds me of the pre natal class scene from Psychoville where one of the expectant fathers asks Dawn French’s character why there’s a fishing net next to the birthing pool and her explanation is that “a baby isn’t the only thing that will be pushed out.”
Why were they all there? I was alone with my husband, a midwife and an apprentice midwife. I wouldn’t have wanted anyone else with me in the first place.
“It’s really not traumatic...” tell that to Black women denied advocacy and sometimes literally allowed to die in childbirth bc doctors don’t believe they are in pain or are hemmorraging... in the USA. Black women’s mortality rates in USA are third world.
absolutely but as someone studying to be an obgyn she just meant it as a comforting thing to those worried about the basic, textbook process/procedure of delivering a baby (without risk factors and such ie genetics or a bad doctor). i do think it would’ve been nice if she touched on that, but i’m sure moms-to-be watching this are already worried enough about their delivery
Context kind of matters… In this context your example doesn’t really apply… Of course if it was a scene of a black woman not being believed and she said that isn’t traumatic than yes… but your comment is a little off topic…
In the second clip when she was talking about the average size of a baby made me think when I was born I was 8 pounds in 8 ounces almost 9 pounds and was 22 1/2 inches long.....
If you do a part 2, do the scene from Sense8 were they show babies being born all around the world. I thought that looked very realistic, in my limited experience, and beautiful.
They had to break my first daughter's water at the hospital with a hook, but my second daughter's water broke while I was taking a bath....very convenient. Felt like a rubber band snapped inside of my stomach.......and then the pains were ON.
Secretariat is the only horse movie I’ve seen that is realistic in the slightest. I’ve seen horses give birth several times but never a realistic portrayal of it in movies.
Haven't seen a horse give birth but I have actually seen a few sheep in real life give birth. It goes surprisingly fast (assuming nothing goes wrong) and they are also inside a kind of slimy sack during delivery
@@zakosist Me too. It’s very interesting to see. I will never forget having a ewe that was having extreme difficulty so my dad was holding open her vulva, my sister looking for the lamb’s head and me trying to keep the legs from disappearing. I always take a sigh if a ewe is going to lamb because it will either go extremely well or be a nightmare.
Funny how Breaking Dawn (where Bella had cravings, got very sick from malnutrition and then the newborn actually looking realistically bloody) was given a one but the one where a man is pregnant got a four...
I was looking for NBC's Community series where they give birth in the classroom. And then The First Omen, but this video was out before The First Omen was released.
I really wish the media would stop showing this “birth is sooo painful stereotype” with the mom screaming her head off. Birth can be so peaceful and powerful but fear makes it more likely to be a traumatic experience .
Birth can kill, & women are often looked down upon as the weaker sex & their pain is constantly neglected. Birth can be extremely painful even with the epiudiral & it’s important to show all sides if birth ...
@@AD-wz6nd I’m sorry that your friend had to go through all of that. I agree that it’s important to be honest with audiences. Some women do find themselves screaming and panicking because of the pain or complications. But most births are completely safe and go smoothly. When every birth ever shown in movies or on TV depicts a woman screaming and crying, it can cause unnecessary and unhealthy amounts of fear. I don’t think we should do away with the screaming birth scenes altogether. But I don’t think it would hurt to show some births where the woman is more calm and in control.
I really feel it's OB-GYN 😂, wonder what "OBG-YN" would stand for? Original Baby Giver - you know?... I hope any future person who finds this comment highly irrelevant, drops a like and keeps it going. It's a thing.
I eat ridiculous and crazy food combinations all the time and have my whole life to the point people always ask me if I'm pregnant lol. If I ever get pregnant, that will probably be the day I start eating normal 😂
I was the one to yell with each push of each of my 3 kids...something about a yell/growl just helped with pushing. I also birthed my 3 without pain killers...not that I didn't try to get them 😆 I also cussed out 1 nurse with each kid...when you got to push, you got to push! And the nurses seem to move like molasses. My first was born 2hrs after my water broke! I labored for 2 weeks before that though, and he was due on his due date! My body knows how to bring babies into this world without issue! Doctor and nurses were all impressed with how quickly my body transitions once water is broken
I was born at 42 weeks and was 9 pound 10 and was so over cooked that I didn’t have any varnex (sorry for the misspelling) left on me and my skin was peeling. I also didn’t cry, just made started to suckle at nothing. My little bro was born at 38 weeks and was 8 pound 12 so if he were born at the same gestation as me he would have been even bigger than me haha. I’m currently 29 weeks and 1 day pregnant myself now and thankfully my son is looking like he will be born at average weight, especially as because I was such a big baby that I got stuck during delivery and my mum had to have an emergency c section with me and ended up having to have a planned one with my bro because he was having huge and sudden spikes and drops in his heart rate and she was told that as labour progressed the contractions would stop his heart while she was contracting and during the actual birth itself.
In films the first thing that happens when the birth begins is ALWAYS the water breaking. Irl that can happen but it doesn't have to. I had two deliveries and it was one of the last things that happened.
You have to remember that in Twilight, Bella had an extremely strong fetus that broke her spine to the point of going into labor. She was also very malnourished and starved; I would imagine that she would be feeling even worse during this birth compared to natural labor.
I'm a cough baby! I am the second child and while in the hospital my mam decided to cough and then I went out. Her water never broke before hand, she didn't have any cramps or pain or even felt something. She didn't even feel me come out until one of the cleaners went into the room and was hit by my mam reading on the bed with me just chilling beside her.
I think Danny Devito's character is saying Arnold's character needs to be off his feet because of the nature of his pregnancy. If I recall that movie correctly, the baby is located very fragilely in his intestines.
The Wanda Vision breathing is lamaze breathing. My mom was taught it in the 80s for pain reduction in labor. My dad still does the technique if he hurts himself and swears it works.
Insider hasn't done an education scenes review yet? GQ and Wired also don't seem to think teachers are experts. I made an OC video to breakdown the realism in teaching scenes to show the profession some love.
I thnk it should be noted that in most pills, over 90% are fillers and not active ingridiant, dosage can be increased by reducing filler and replace with active ingridiant. So there is usually no reason to increase the pill size to increase dosage--at most you'd increase the pill size slightly for a large increase in dosage just to decrease the risk of mix up for things that have a higher risk when overdosed. And that's why the giant Vitamin pill is ridiculous--not because you might not want to get a higher dosage for whatever reason, but that is not what a higher dosage pill should/need to be like.
My mom did scream at the nurse when she was having me. The nurse told her to keep pushing and she screamed “I AM!!!!!!” Then I popped right out. Wandavision breathing is an old form of Lamaze breathing 😮💨. I imagine you’ve not seen it because I don’t think it’s been taught since…mid 90s? Maybe even earlier. They changed they way the mother breathes it’s not short-short-long anymore. It’s more about in through the the nose, out through the mouth I think. Actually, no ones had a baby for a while so it could have change since lol. All of my friend’s water broke at home. Except one. But even after that they all had plenty of time to get to the hospital to have the baby. I had one friend that had c-sections for all 3 kids scheduled (she had a lower lumbar situation so her doctor didn’t want her doing the work) and her water broke before all the scheduled dates. They actually did have to hurry but luckily lived very closed to the hospital. And that prenatal is not too off the real one it’s probably making fun of, but the real one is chewable. Most any that large are chewable. I used to work in pharmacy.
For me i had somewhat of a movie birth when it came to the contractions. I was screaming so loud and even broke the towel bar in the bathroom 😂😂😂😂 the pain was no joke my God. And then at the hospital i was screaming just like that too. 😭 i really went through it lol but an hr later my 9lbs baby boy was born. I labored for 12 hrs in total. I got the epi too 😊 cuz id have died without it
I am nervous! I am 21 weeks pregnant with a boy. I have two beautiful daughters, &+ had an early pregnancy loss last year in Jan, I was 7-9 weeks. This is my fourth pregnancy, &+ I am nervous, because of what was said at 7:16. I'd obviously like for my labor to be quick, but I also want my muscles to be able to have enough time to stretch so I don't tear too bad. I plan to go in with a birth plan, not too strict, I just want them to know that I don't want an epidural &+ I want to labor in a diff position than on my back. I recently learned that you are more likely to tear when giving birth on your back. I honestly didn't even know I could birth in a different position until I began research on labor. I am due in Sept, &+ very excited to meet my son. 💙
To be fair to WandaVision, they were spoofing shows from the 70s and 80s that would often show a clearly 3+ month old baby basically spotless after birth lol
Yep, same with the whole lying down flat and breathing weird. It's was just the way things were sometimes done, especially in movies, back then
True and i mean come onn its wandavision ever heard off a marvek project that is realistic ha. And wanda' pregnant wasnt mean to be normal
Yeah, also they are just normal people in the 70s/80s which they probably believed you were supposed to “hee hee hoo hoo”
@@peep6017 Wasn't that part of how they said to do Lamaze back then?
It makes sense for Wanda's Birth to be unreal because her whole pregnancy is sped up by her reality altering powers
Also that episode is set in the 70s. Nobody breathes like that anymore, but I remember my mom telling she (and most folks) did back then.
She is also making it all up cus depressive mind reality.
I imagine Wanda wouldn't want herself to experience much pain, and for the labor and delivery to be rather short, as ***spoiler*** she is the one controlling the hex.

I was thinking the same thing!!!
And pieces of a woman
@Allison Hunter agreed. And I can also see the mother worrying about how to keep the newborn silent because they can be really noisy
My friend group and I watched that movie together and we all were eating pizza during that scene…. Bad decision
I would have been safe. I didn't make a sound the whole time. I apologized for all the noise afterwards and they looked at me like I was mad because I was silent. I was screaming in my head.
I expect Quinn's pregancy from Glee. Her deliver scene with Bohemian Rhapsody in the background is iconic.
Yeah who else could possibly give birth while simultaneously singing the backing vocals for Bohemian Rapsody
I was expecting so too
My personal opinion is the screaming is funny with the song, but unrealistic as the doctor would most likely tell her to put that energy into pushing, and contractions can be so intense it renders you silent.
A vampire pregnancy, unrealistic? Say it ain't so!
Same with a superhero one created by telekinetic power.
In my 1st trimester, I couldn't stand the smell of meat. It all smelled spoiled. By my 3rd trimester I was scarfing down red meat. My baby is a vegetarian 😂😂😂

I went off bread. It smelled... mouldy or yeasty... and my son's favourite food is now toast.
LOL wow.
You might have had iron deficiency hence red meat cravings
My first pregnancy, I couldn't stand the smell of most meat. Except sometimes I'd be all about bacon, which I found odd, since prior to that pregnancy, I didn't like bacon at all.
Now the second time around, it's certain produce, like mushrooms. I normally love mushrooms, but now they make me want to barf.

The 1/10? She's kind. 👏
“The fact that a vampire is doing a C-section with his teeth? That’s concerning.”
Y’think? Lol
Fetal heart rate can drop when a woman is giving birth on her back and sometimes it will go back to normal when she changes positions. This should always be tried before a c section. Fetal heart rate can also drop slightly during contractions and this can be normal.
So true!
Yea I think she should have clarified that sustained fetal bradycardia (after trying position changes and after the contract resolves) is an indication for c section!
When I was in labor with my 2nd daughter I was at a teaching hospital and an intern gave me my epidural. I passed out in the middle of it, they had to give me epinephrine to get me back.

Mama Doctor Jones, another OB/GYN on UA-cam has done a couple videos on Call the Midwife.
Yes!!
Fun fact; because Call the Midwife is a BBC production, the child labour laws are different in the UK to those in the US so this is why you often see "newborns" in this show more accurate to size as apose to babies in American tv because they aren't allowed to use infants younger than 3 months. (Found this out a few years ago, so some things may have changed)
Not a movie, but would like to see a follow up to this including the BBC drama "Call The Midwife". They use animatronic babies for the new borns to allow for "Added realism" during the birthing scenes.
I think Mamma Doctor Jones has a video on that
Not all of them are movies. Jane the Virgin, Wandavision, and Scrubs are TV shows. And yes Mama Doctor Jones has done a couple videos on Call the Midwife. She’s great.
They partner with a nearby hospital and use real newborn babies..
@@charmax88 in general, yes they use real babies, but for a number of the births they made use of animatronic babies (plus some CGI) to allow for more realistic scenes. Baby Kirk from season 8, for example.
(Me tries to sleep )
UA-cam: how about if movies are accurate in birth
That pregnancy scene in Friends is the most accurate scene I've ever seen on TV...how she gives birth is exactly how it was for me. Its a great example
I highly doubt that’s how it went. Movies and TV shows get so many things wrong about pregnancy
@@Jackferrett6781 I've had 2 kids (with more on the way) and I can tell you that scene is pretty realistic. (also, my mom had 9 natural births and said the same thing.)
@@diamondstuddedpunchingbag4718 your mum had 9 births. Jesus Christ
@@Jackferrett6781 all natural too...😬...insane!! But she and my dad are awesome too!!
And you just reminded me of one of my favorite moments from Friends:
"Mmmmm-MPH! That was a big one!"
My water broke at home in the middle of the night. I thought I just peed myself until a contraction hit and it became obvious. I collected my things and drove myself to the hospital at 2am. It was a crazy.
Same! My water broke at 2am 😅 I remember asking the OBGYN about it and his response was the same “the majority of woman don’t experience it” 😂
@@emmac329 so I get to the hospital and I'm checking into the er. They ask why I'm they're since I look fine and I tell them my water broke able 2 hours prior. They turned ghost white and out of nowhere there's a wheelchair and a nurse from L&D. It didn't hit me that my son was actively on his way until I asked how long they were going to keep me for observation. My nurse laughed and said, "honey, we are going to 'observe' you until well after you have this baby". Labor can do funny things to you😂🤷♀️
My sister had the same thing. In the middle of the night, she thought she peed. Went to work the next day, thinking nothing of it until the contractions hit. She didn't even make it out of the ambulance, had her baby in it at the hospital parking lot lol
Same happened with my mom. She got up to pee and the pee never ended, then she started having contractions.
“When you have a set birth plan, you have to be flexible...”
Just consider it a trial run in parenting. “I want you to do this... but you’re doing that. Alright, lemme show you how to do it without getting hurt.”
Well explained. And completely accurate.
Things never go as you plan for them
My birthplan was actually quite perfectly executed by the midwife in the hospital: no doctor or medical intervention unless really needed, move around freely and try the tub, if I feel like it. I only saw the doctor for the stitches, gave birth in the tub and had no more than local anesthesia for the stitches.
When I was pregnant with my first, I decided not to have a birth plan. I had read far too many comments online from women who had been extremely disappointed with their birth experience, because they had had something go off plan during the birth. Some of them were mourning their failed plan still many years later. So I decided that my birth plan would be:
"Preferably a vaginal delivery. Baby survives. I survive. Everything else, we'll roll with the punches."
Guess what? Successful birth plan.
My mom went for a check up and she was eight centimeters dilated. She drove herself to the hospital and her water broke at registration. I was born twenty-seven minutes later.
If Junior has a more realistic pregnancy scene than your movie, you're doing something terribly wrong.
Let’s see Satan review the “Devils Advocate”...
LMFAAAOOO

The Devil wears Prada would be a fun one!
Genius
Rosemary's Baby, The Omen trilogy, except he's pretty much a deadbeat dad in all of those and owes at the very least 18 years of back child support so he'd probably stay away.
As a man who has never given birth, and will never be able to. This seems realistic.
Yeah every time a baby is “born” in a movie or in a series I say, “it’s a boy/girl…here’s your two year old baby.” Yeah they generally don’t use brand new born babies in movies or in series because they are well new borns and those scenes can take hours to days to get it right so generally if a smaller baby is needed they will use a doll or just use an older baby if it’s not that desperate or realistic needing.
I love that a mom with multiple kids could just sneeze a baby out! 😂❤️👏
Should be ob-gyn not obg-yn because gyn is gynecology
Talk about a typo, lol.
Yes. Was looking for this comment.
The reason why the baby was so big is because using a newborn is illegal (so i have heard)
It's not really unrealistic though. My first born was 9lbs and 21-1/2 inches long. My 4th daughter was 11lbs and 20 inches long, and was obviously born via cesarian. My two in between were "normal" sizes. It's crazy how much it can vary.
Amd hard I assume since newborn actors are in hospitals
@@justanotheronlineobserver3387 Well, most newborns that are healthy are good to go home on the first day or so. They stay pretty tiny for the first weeks. I imagine many parents are far to focussed on getting used to their new life to be interested in doing this kind of work.
@@AndreaWitt745 11 pounds!?! Omg, ouchie!
I mean why did anyone expect Wanda's birth to be considered even remotely normal normal people don't have universe-altering abilities that can speed up their pregnancy from 9 months to 3 days.
It’s very possible that she just hasn’t seen wandavision? Lmao
Also it was a parody of 70s tv shows where women give birth to a 3 month old perfectly clean baby
I’m on baby number 4 and the realest birth scene I’ve seen is in Quiet Place. Emily Blunt was amazing and it was so accurate
It was accurate for giving birth in a non hospital environment. In the hospital you have the epidural which is why most women don’t scream like they do in movies
Prenatal vitamins are absolutely huge and not at all regular vitamin size. I cannot swallow them. So glad there are gummy ones now.
And they taste horrible! They make me gag lol. I need to find some gummy ones
Mine were chewable. Thanks to hyperemesis though I vomited every time I took them. Life hates me. Lucky my pregnancy is still healthy and my baby has a perfectly developed spine.
I use prenate mini. Nice and small no horse pills for me lol
Knew it was going to be a good one when the hook was WandaVision, love her explanations and ratings, great video!
Regarding the breathing technique used in WandaVision: I’ve seen many birth vlogs and of all of them, I’ve seen one person do that. Also, in the show Monica (Wanda’s friend who was helping her), isn’t trained and that breathing pattern is quite a common stereotype so it’s an honest mistake that she would tell her to do that.
The fact she said you have time I legit panicked because I almost didn't make it to the hospital lmao
Having given birth four times, my mum hates the fact that doctors will often have mothers giving birth on their backs. It frustrates her so much bc it's not efficient and seems to be more for the sake of the doctor than the person who is actually giving birth!
I was also watching a French film, forgot the name, where everything in society regarding gender roles was switched, and they had a scene where a woman gave birth completely upright. It was really interesting
I gave birth in Germany and in most hospitals here no one wants a woman to be on her back, unless she needs a rest after hours of labour or has a c-section.
The delivery rooms have clothes hanging from the ceiling, there are balls and small stools to sit on, tubs to give birth in, the beds are really big and the only time I have seen stirrups was when they screwed some onto the bed to give me stitches.
By the way I was naked (unthinkable for many people in the USA), because it’s called labour for a reason and the rooms were pretty well heated (I think about 26-28°C).
Your mum would probably love my experience.
@@jennyh4025 that sounds a little odd to me from an American perspective but so much more freeing and respectful of the womans needs and acknowledging it as a natural process and not a medical procedure.
@@KD-ou2np according to my midwives and pretty much all experts I‘ve heard, giving birth vaginally on your back is the worst possible way. You’re actually working against everything evolution developed for human births and gravity.
Just think about the fact that a part of the lower back „pops out“ while giving birth. Do you really want this to happen, while you are on your back? It’s to make the whole process easier, if you are on your back, you put a lot of pressure on it and hinder the process.
@@jennyh4025 i hate how sexism has pervaded medical science... so much suffering caused to women all for the egos of arrogant ppl who thought they knew better than real biology and history.
I once read journal by a 1800s naturalist who described indigenous women of the place he was visiting as more "animalistic" when giving birth, whereas the women of his culture were more "civilized" in his eyes. But of course they were likely just forced by sexist cultural norms of the time about being quiet and proper at all times to restrict themselves even during birth.
@@KD-ou2np sexism and the belief that pregnancy and birth is not a natural thing, but a medical condition.
I screamed my head off with both kids. No meds makes a difference. Worth it, but yes, it's that dramatic with no pain meds.
For SOME it's that dramatic with or without pain meds. Not all. Stop scaring the kids
I’m so glad I’m not a girl. I know getting kicked in the testicles hurts a lot, but pregnancy pains seem to last longer, then you have to get stitches, can’t have sex for a certain period of time and some other stuff. It’s safe to say all woman are real Super Hero’s👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼💪🏼💪🏼💪🏼
Not everybody gets stitches but you're right overall. Also labor pain makes your whole body seize up.
I'm glad I'm a girl, can't wait to have a baby one day.
"Seem to last longer" made me chuckle. My mom was in labor with me for 25 hours, and that's not even close to a record for childbirth.
38 years later, she still won't let me forget it, and I can't even remember it!
Bar people who have had an invasive medical procedure surrounding birth or pregnancy, in which the patient may be advised to rest; you have as much sex as you wish during pregnancy and as soon as you feel like afterwards. You are not banned from having sex, many people find it uncomfortable, but there is no ‘can’t’ involved.
@@stephaniecolclough5569 uh, that's not really true. It's an extremely bad idea to start have sex right after giving birth. You risk causing further injury (not to mention pain) if you don't pet everything heal fully.
With the heartbeats. I remember when i was my small and my sister had her first child, i was laying my head by the baby cuz i was listening to her sleep and i got so scared cuz i was like " whys her heart beating so fast!! Shes having an attack!! Call 911!!!" And she just laughed and honestly looking back it must have been so funny

A fiction book I've got by my bed tells me that the Hee Hee Hoo breathing is an element of something called the Lamaze technique.
Wikipedia tells me that this technique (the thing as a whole, not just the breathing) is not considered best practice by most doctors today.
Yeah it's best to let the contraction do its job and breathe fully and slowly, or like through a straw, to help the contraction, relax other parts of your body and not make yourself panic.
No Pieces of a Woman but 2 births that are literally supernatural and happen within a month (Twiglight and WandaVision)? Completely shocked
Pieces of a woman was so graphically accurate that you could have easily thought the actress was actually giving birth if you didn’t know it was a movie.
I think that sometimes absurd scenes can be a good base for education, like if something is absurd you have many myths or just super unrealistic situations to debunk in one short video haha
Lol, Bella's is supposed to be! Vampire human hybrid baby, Bella getting thinner and thinner as the baby is pulling blood away from her, and a month pregnant.
1000% agree
I was hoping for the Children of Men scene, for some insight into how a birth seems portrayed when the mom is in less than ideal conditions. Woulda been cool!
Do a video in which a Judge Advocate General Corp (JAG Corp) lawyer n movies & tv shows like JAG, A Few Goodmen, Rules Of Engagement, Men Of Honour, etc.
The bit about which muscles push the baby out reminds me of the pre natal class scene from Psychoville where one of the expectant fathers asks Dawn French’s character why there’s a fishing net next to the birthing pool and her explanation is that “a baby isn’t the only thing that will be pushed out.”
My birth plan for both my pregnancy was go to hospital and have baby 😂😂
I was yelling at everyone (my father,my grandmother, and my husband) to get out when I was pushing out my first born son
Why were they all there? I was alone with my husband, a midwife and an apprentice midwife. I wouldn’t have wanted anyone else with me in the first place.
mom of 4 here and 3 out of the 4 times my water broke first before labor started...thankfully I was at home all 3 times!
Oh wow, I was wondering why the likes were so low. This just came out.
“It’s really not traumatic...” tell that to Black women denied advocacy and sometimes literally allowed to die in childbirth bc doctors don’t believe they are in pain or are hemmorraging... in the USA. Black women’s mortality rates in USA are third world.
absolutely but as someone studying to be an obgyn she just meant it as a comforting thing to those worried about the basic, textbook process/procedure of delivering a baby (without risk factors and such ie genetics or a bad doctor). i do think it would’ve been nice if she touched on that, but i’m sure moms-to-be watching this are already worried enough about their delivery
@@madeline8439 appreciate that clarification. 🙏🏾
Context kind of matters… In this context your example doesn’t really apply… Of course if it was a scene of a black woman not being believed and she said that isn’t traumatic than yes… but your comment is a little off topic…
Right? I've never had a child, never wanted to, never will, but I've heard way too many horror stories to think of birth as anything but traumatic.
Is that still happening today?
I swear that "heehee hoo" breathing thing is from Rugrats when Deedee delivers Dill Pickle. lol

If you do a part 2, do the scene from Sense8 were they show babies being born all around the world. I thought that looked very realistic, in my limited experience, and beautiful.
I would love to see a part two!
They had to break my first daughter's water at the hospital with a hook, but my second daughter's water broke while I was taking a bath....very convenient. Felt like a rubber band snapped inside of my stomach.......and then the pains were ON.
Real astronaut rates 10 space movies.
As a horse person, I would love for a breeder to rip apart foaling scenes in movies. You want to talk about unrealistic births?
Secretariat is the only horse movie I’ve seen that is realistic in the slightest. I’ve seen horses give birth several times but never a realistic portrayal of it in movies.
Haven't seen a horse give birth but I have actually seen a few sheep in real life give birth. It goes surprisingly fast (assuming nothing goes wrong) and they are also inside a kind of slimy sack during delivery
@@zakosist Me too. It’s very interesting to see. I will never forget having a ewe that was having extreme difficulty so my dad was holding open her vulva, my sister looking for the lamb’s head and me trying to keep the legs from disappearing. I always take a sigh if a ewe is going to lamb because it will either go extremely well or be a nightmare.
The 1994 Black Beauty film used a real birth, so try that one.
Vampires biting a baby out: "very unrealistic" rlly? no kidding
"That is not a newborn" movies are not aloud to "use" babys that young
It's obviously a joke. She had to comment on it.
You should do Quinn's birth scene from glee and Becky's from full house
Funny how Breaking Dawn (where Bella had cravings, got very sick from malnutrition and then the newborn actually looking realistically bloody) was given a one but the one where a man is pregnant got a four...
Yeah her ratings turned me off at that point. I just kept watching for accuracy afterwards 🤦🏾♂️
In today’s world, a trans man could certainly be pregnant and carrying a baby, but a vampire will never deliver a baby via c-section with his teeth.
@@Jessamineann That's always been the case. However this was about a cis man getting pregnant.
Exactly
I was hoping for Robin Williams from Nine Months! With other comments it looks like there's enough for part 2.
I was looking for NBC's Community series where they give birth in the classroom. And then The First Omen, but this video was out before The First Omen was released.
I really wish the media would stop showing this “birth is sooo painful stereotype” with the mom screaming her head off. Birth can be so peaceful and powerful but fear makes it more likely to be a traumatic experience .
I feel like it would be better to show a mix of both and not one or the other
Birth can kill, & women are often looked down upon as the weaker sex & their pain is constantly neglected. Birth can be extremely painful even with the epiudiral & it’s important to show all sides if birth ...
@@AD-wz6nd I’m sorry that your friend had to go through all of that. I agree that it’s important to be honest with audiences. Some women do find themselves screaming and panicking because of the pain or complications. But most births are completely safe and go smoothly. When every birth ever shown in movies or on TV depicts a woman screaming and crying, it can cause unnecessary and unhealthy amounts of fear. I don’t think we should do away with the screaming birth scenes altogether. But I don’t think it would hurt to show some births where the woman is more calm and in control.
I KNEW Junior was gonna be in this list LOL

I was the one to yell with each push of each of my 3 kids...something about a yell/growl just helped with pushing. I also birthed my 3 without pain killers...not that I didn't try to get them 😆 I also cussed out 1 nurse with each kid...when you got to push, you got to push! And the nurses seem to move like molasses. My first was born 2hrs after my water broke! I labored for 2 weeks before that though, and he was due on his due date! My body knows how to bring babies into this world without issue! Doctor and nurses were all impressed with how quickly my body transitions once water is broken
I was born at 42 weeks and was 9 pound 10 and was so over cooked that I didn’t have any varnex (sorry for the misspelling) left on me and my skin was peeling. I also didn’t cry, just made started to suckle at nothing. My little bro was born at 38 weeks and was 8 pound 12 so if he were born at the same gestation as me he would have been even bigger than me haha.
I’m currently 29 weeks and 1 day pregnant myself now and thankfully my son is looking like he will be born at average weight, especially as because I was such a big baby that I got stuck during delivery and my mum had to have an emergency c section with me and ended up having to have a planned one with my bro because he was having huge and sudden spikes and drops in his heart rate and she was told that as labour progressed the contractions would stop his heart while she was contracting and during the actual birth itself.
What's funny is I did the hee hee hoo for both my kids it's the only way I can really bare the pain
I don't know if it was a craving but I didn't want chicken when I was pregnant at all and wanted red meat for dinner like every night
My sister is currently pregnant with baby number 3, and she can't stand her favorite food pizza right now lol
9:53 I believe that's a joke. It sounds like the sound Jason makes in the Friday the 13th franchise.
In films the first thing that happens when the birth begins is ALWAYS the water breaking. Irl that can happen but it doesn't have to. I had two deliveries and it was one of the last things that happened.
I was waiting for her to do Fuller House
You have to remember that in Twilight, Bella had an extremely strong fetus that broke her spine to the point of going into labor. She was also very malnourished and starved; I would imagine that she would be feeling even worse during this birth compared to natural labor.
You should have brought mama doctor Jones on this with her
I'm a cough baby! I am the second child and while in the hospital my mam decided to cough and then I went out. Her water never broke before hand, she didn't have any cramps or pain or even felt something. She didn't even feel me come out until one of the cleaners went into the room and was hit by my mam reading on the bed with me just chilling beside her.
1 out 3 woman end up having csections, not because of strict birthplans, because is a business and it is horrible for us.
My youngest daughter was back to back.... and yes I was freaking out 💖💖💖

I've seen so many doctors rate Scrubs as the most accurate medical TV show. Funny to see it here too
I thnk it should be noted that in most pills, over 90% are fillers and not active ingridiant, dosage can be increased by reducing filler and replace with active ingridiant. So there is usually no reason to increase the pill size to increase dosage--at most you'd increase the pill size slightly for a large increase in dosage just to decrease the risk of mix up for things that have a higher risk when overdosed.
And that's why the giant Vitamin pill is ridiculous--not because you might not want to get a higher dosage for whatever reason, but that is not what a higher dosage pill should/need to be like.
My mom did scream at the nurse when she was having me. The nurse told her to keep pushing and she screamed “I AM!!!!!!” Then I popped right out.
Wandavision breathing is an old form of Lamaze breathing 😮💨. I imagine you’ve not seen it because I don’t think it’s been taught since…mid 90s? Maybe even earlier. They changed they way the mother breathes it’s not short-short-long anymore. It’s more about in through the the nose, out through the mouth I think. Actually, no ones had a baby for a while so it could have change since lol.
All of my friend’s water broke at home. Except one. But even after that they all had plenty of time to get to the hospital to have the baby. I had one friend that had c-sections for all 3 kids scheduled (she had a lower lumbar situation so her doctor didn’t want her doing the work) and her water broke before all the scheduled dates. They actually did have to hurry but luckily lived very closed to the hospital. And that prenatal is not too off the real one it’s probably making fun of, but the real one is chewable. Most any that large are chewable. I used to work in pharmacy.
For me i had somewhat of a movie birth when it came to the contractions. I was screaming so loud and even broke the towel bar in the bathroom 😂😂😂😂 the pain was no joke my God. And then at the hospital i was screaming just like that too. 😭 i really went through it lol but an hr later my 9lbs baby boy was born. I labored for 12 hrs in total. I got the epi too 😊 cuz id have died without it
I am nervous! I am 21 weeks pregnant with a boy. I have two beautiful daughters, &+ had an early pregnancy loss last year in Jan, I was 7-9 weeks. This is my fourth pregnancy, &+ I am nervous, because of what was said at 7:16. I'd obviously like for my labor to be quick, but I also want my muscles to be able to have enough time to stretch so I don't tear too bad. I plan to go in with a birth plan, not too strict, I just want them to know that I don't want an epidural &+ I want to labor in a diff position than on my back. I recently learned that you are more likely to tear when giving birth on your back. I honestly didn't even know I could birth in a different position until I began research on labor. I am due in Sept, &+ very excited to meet my son. 💙
