I wish I could remember 117! I know there were a bunch of levels I got stuck on for days but I've somehow made it to 851. It's just usually one change in the process..
momma could you do some of the births from call the midwife and discuss some of the differences from the 50s to now?
What’s the deal with the baby already having pierced ears!?!?!?😮
My baby bro was born with a full head of hair as was I and both my kids lol
Also my Brother who is the older of my two youngers mom kept telling the doc baby is coming and I'm not pushing! He was across the room trying to get gloves on (he never did succeed lol) the water broke his head and shoulders popped out and I touched his head (I was shy of 3) asked why his hair was so wet and the doctor ran across the room just in time to catch him from falling off the bed😂
HER PAIN TOLERANCE. Most women were like "I had accepted I was going to die today" and she was like "I thought I had to poop" A rockstar!!!!!!!!!!
Makes me wonder how painful her poops are usually 😳
Yeah woman needs to see a nutrition specialist or something, drink more water, use laxatives.
This honestly made me laugh out loud. Yep, while most women in this show are accepting death, she thought she’d pooped and was ready to go to bed.
@@violetsanddragons Or maybe she just got IBS-C or something similar. ^^, OH the pain
Her ability to endure pain toes the line with being supernatural.
As someone who suffers chronic constipation… I can understand why she would be quiet and not realize what’s happening. Especially if that was normal for her, then you build up a truly huge pain tolerance for things stretching you wide open.
I get constipated a lot too :( it sucks and sometimes I've mistaken the pain for menstrual cramps so I can understand why she thought it was that. :)
I’ve vomited from that pain before - leaves me curled up in a ball on the floor 😭
But you don't have any sensation of where things are coming from? You've had a vagina your entire life and can't tell the difference between a shit and a baby?
@@XusernamegoeshereX It can be really hard to tell. Chronic constipation can lead to really huge shits. I’m talking at least the width of a forearm. Something that big can make it hard to tell because it takes up so much space. It’s also why it hurts so much.
This my me feel so much less alone. I have chronic constipation and I sometimes feel like my stomach is splitting open. Like it’s the same level as my absolutely horrendous period pains and I’ve often wondered if both are what labour feels like
My brother was born when I was about 4 years old. I was curious and kept asking kid-questions about what it was like. My mom said you used the same muscles as when you go to the bathroom. I thought about that for a bit, and asked, "when you go poop, do you ever get confused and think you're having a baby?"
My family would laugh about that story for years... turns out its not so far-fetched
ngl that first post-c-section poop actually did hurt worse than labor
I like how her mom goes “Abby did what?!?” Like she committed a crime, not had a baby 😂
We don’t know unless there in that moment and or talked to the mom how she felt or meant when she said it. This esp if not and never have been the mother of a girl. Easy to arm chair judge.
@@jmc8076 it was a joke about the wording because she was surprised lol not me judging her
I'm not gonna lie, I would absolutely die if I had to come out of the bathroom and say, "hey babe, you know how I thought I was sick? You'll never guess what happened...."
Right!
Like how awkward 😂
I simply could not. I'd never leave that bathroom.
I can't stop laughing at that reply 🤣🤣 like "hey darling, I swear I'm not calling you in to look at my poop again, but I do have someone for you to meet..." 🤣🤣
Oh god thats hilarious. My step sister had her eldest on April fools day. Good thing she knew she was pregnant. No one would gave believed it. We struggled to believe it and knew she was due 😂
G GB
"We do the best we can with the information we have" has also become a common refrain in my own life. It is amazing how comforting it is.
I used this phrase with my mom recently. My dad passed about a week ago from cancer, found at stage 4. She has a lot of regrets and woulda, coulda, shoulda thoughts. If he'd said something sooner, if a doctor would have ran tests sooner, etc
We did the best we could with the information we had at the time. 🫂 That's the only comfort I have right now
@@samanthatyler8260 My mom has also been through SO MUCH and made some choices while not entirely in her right mind, but whenever she falls into a guilt and shame spiral about it, I say this exact phrase to her. It brings both of us so much comfort.
@@samanthatyler8260 I am so sorry for your loss. That sucks.
I hope you and your mom find comfort in knowing you did the best you could.
I absolutely resonate with this comment.
I do the same. I've used it many times with many friends/family.
It's such a useful phrase, in so many situations, and has personally brought peace to my life, I have forgiven myself for things that had been weighing on my mind for some years.
Thanks, MDJ, for bringing this phrase and this peace to my life.
i add on "tools." we do the best we can with the information AND TOOLS that we have. because sometimes you have the information, but you don't have the tools to make use of that information.
I sympathize with how bad her digestive pain must get if she just thought she was constipated. I’ve had the whole grey-faced, sweating, doubled over in agony from IBS attacks before; my spouse thought I was having a medical emergency a couple of times…
✊
Saaaaame! I've often wondered how much worse labor could possibly be.
Same, I’ve literally had to pull a trash can to myself to vomit because of the pain.
As someone who has Celiac and feels like they are dying after consuming gluten, I feel you.
I’ve definitely nearly passed out during IBS attacks before - cold sweat, ears ringing, vision getting fuzzy, unable to sit straight.
I was a September baby. But, I was adopted, and my adoption was finalized and I went home with my parents on Halloween day. Ever since, my dad always made the joke that he still wasn't sure if they got a trick or a treat. 😆
That is such a cute story! ☺️
Lol 😂
🍫
That demonstrates a healthy relationship with your adopted family if jokes are comfortable. I love that
Hahaha that is so cute 😂
I always had irregular periods when I was younger. I was told because of PCOS I couldn't get pregnant (yeah, I know, that's not right) so I wasn't being safe with my boyfriend. At some point we were eating at a Sheetz and the chicken tasted freezer burnt. My boyfriend tried it and said it was fine. I took another bite and spat it back out. It was definitely bad. Forced him to take another bite, still fine to him. He looks at me, and I look at him, and he looks at me into my soul and said "I'm getting you a pregnancy test." I was absolutely sure I wasn't pregnant. I was so confident. It was positive. I was almost 8 weeks pregnant. Healthy baby boy!
Yeah, your smelling is on another level while pregnant. I was once holding my breath in a store because of a bad smell, ran outside to take a deep breath - only to realise there was a fish selling cart. Almost threw up, it was so disgusting.
I
Hope u fired that doctor who told u u couldn’t get pregnant with pcos and brought them ur son and said yeah he’s mine
Ha! My fiancée has PCOS and has never had sex with a man, and she's also pregnant. 😂
Edit: We're...We're gay. I'm not a completely clueless dude who is being cheated on. Just saying.
Wow, Kalhea, Well done for having such a switched-on boyfriend!!!
Truly, there aren't many men who would equate 'shit tastes like shit' with 'Hmmm, could you be pregnant?'
Also, Nylak Otter - Congrats on your tiny human!! :D
I got told I wouldn't get pregnant too, seems to be a common thing - hello, little girl!
At least I worked out I might be pregnant when I didn't want to eat lamb, the smell was suddenly really repulsive to me. Alcohol smells made me feel ill too.
As someone who suffers from IBS I can totally understand how she'd mistake contractions for constipation pain the pain gets so bad during a flare up I too am screaming!
Amen to that! My fiber heavy diet doesn't make it better, well it does except when I have to suck "it" up for a short while, man that angers my ibs, all I had to hold on to was my iPad and I almost broke it in half 😂
@@chubbydinosaur9148 Ha!! I feel you ATM it seems to be a few days of constipation then all a sudden wrath of Satan comes out 😂 hurts so much in the moment but the relief afterwards!
I’ve fainted from the pain of IBS constipation a few times but I didn’t make a sound. Probably a thud when I hit the bathroom floor. 😁
@@lollylolly8186 oh jeez wow never fainted from it before but if I was to have a cryptic pregnancy which is what it's called when you don't know you're pregnant until after 20weeks or when in labour, my baby would probably be born in the toilet too thinking it was a giant poop 😂
I have ulcerative colitis and before I ever got pregnant I told myself that I'd rather deal with the pain of labor than the pain of a flare up. And 3 kids later, with #4 on the way, 2 without epidurals, and having to have pitocin with my second (the one where I learned I don't tolerate the epidural well), I agree with myself that my labor is nothing compared to my UC.
My traumatic birth story is I knew I was pregnant with my son (my third of 4 full-term pregnancies). However, the hospital sent me twice in active labor insisting it was just Braxton Hix. The 2nd time, they gave me an Ambien and told me to go get rest and see my OBGYN in the morning. This was a Sunday. I got home, tried to sleep, and ended up taking a hot shower which didn't help with the pain. Tried to sleep some more. Then got into the garden tub in my bathroom and tried to soak to relax. All the while drifting in and out of consciousness from the Ambien, not really fully cognizant of everything. At one point I do remember talking to someone when no one was in the room. I don't know if it was myself or God or a hallucination. I did end up yelling out, though, so at one point my then 2yo did get up and try to join me in the tub. I had also woken up my mom and then 5yo. My mom said she would get the kids ready to drive me to the hospital again. I stood up to drain the tub. After it drained, my water broke. I hollered for my mom, who said she'd rush to get us ready. We were a mile from the hospital. I'm not sure how much time passed by I felt something and the next memory I have (remember Ambien) was lying on the bottom of the empty tub on my back with this baby on there on the tub floor between my legs and a lot of blood. Later found out he'd ripped my perineum almost completely. I screamed and mom came in and apparently, I asked her to hand him to me. She said all her years of nursing left her brain and supposedly I suggested the 911 call. The operator told her to get something to put over him and the closest thing she could find was pillowcases in the linen closet so his first receiving blanket was a pillow cause draped over him. I was apparently instinctively doing skin-to-skin, though. First responders arrived and I was suddenly surrounded by half a dozen men who wrapped me in a white sheet. They did cut the cord, which spurted blood in one of the guy's eyes. This means it probably wasn't done pulsing as you described in this vid. But they wrapped my son in one of those thermal blankets and got us loaded into the ambulance. One of the first responders held him on the ride while others monitored me. I got a bunch of stitches for the tear when we were at the hospital. I had to piece a lot of this together from my mom's accounts and such. But it was still very scary and traumatic. The kicker was the on-call OBGYN's version of the story was that the nurses had told her over the phone that I wasn't in labor/progressing and that's why they sent me home twice and gave me the Ambien. The nurses said the doc was the one who wanted me to go home and follow up with OB. I never saw the on-call doc until I was brought back in via ambulance. I was interviewed in the local paper about my unplanned homebirth, but the final article made me sound like I was just stupid, which is how some of these episodes portray some of these women. :(
Aff, it's terrible they make you looks stupid when was the nurses fault.
Sounds like they were trying to cover their butts! Sorry you went through that, but WOW what a story! 🤯
They were avoiding a lawsuit. They were short staffed and quite likely sent you home
Have a hatred of Dumb OBs. I literally battle the dumb OBs of Kaiser permanente religiously. They make dumb decisions. And don’t care.
Thank goodness one of you called 911 and you made it out ok. That's horrible conduct by the paper and the hospital. Just wow.
This woman is so unbelievably strong, the fact that she did it without any tears or barely any screams at all is mindblowing
"Everybody's favorite time of the month! Much better than that other time of the month..."
MDJ is a mood
She makes me smile EVERY SINGLE TIME with that line. It should be old by now, but instead I just get excited.
I watch these videos during that other time of the month
This makes me so glad my boyfriend's so great, I got up in the middle of the night and went to the loo, and he woke up, realised I wasn't there and came to check on me. Thankfully I was just having a difficult poo, not a surprise baby.
😂😂lol
😂😂
Her mom said, "You heard the baby cry, so that's a good thing." New mom said. "I *thought* so." like she was scared she might have imagined the cry. So scary. I feel for her!
Im a gay guy and i love watching your videos, i feel that its important to be educated in this kind of stuff, and also the ''i didnt know i was pregnant'' videos are very entertaining. Also i would like to add since watching you i have been using the saying ''we do the best we can with the information we have'', you are just a multi faceted person giving us education and life advice !! haha. and i love watching your videos! thank you !
These episodes have now officially synced with my period (if they are actually once a month? I don't track them as religiously as I track my period!) and now whenever you make the "time of the month" joke I die a little inside (specifically, my uterus dies a little)
They are relatively random but approximately monthly 😆
I'm usually near the end of my period but this month I just found out I'm pregnant... And I know 🤣🤣🤣
@@samanthab5006 Congratulations 🎊 ❤🌺
Hahaha me too!!!!
Same.
I had to use Miralax a few months ago prior to surgery. I am telling y’all IT FELT LIKE GIVING BIRTH. The horrible abdominal cramping was so painful I was sweating and rocking back and forth on all fours. I was just muttering, “Take me now, Lord,” between sobs.
God you poor thing.
Yikes, that sounds like a nightmare. I'm glad you managed to get through it. Miralax didn't work AT ALL for me, even after I doubled the dose. Something in my body chemistry is making me extremely resistant to all kinds of laxatives. (No colonoscopy for me, even though I should've had one five years ago.)
LMAO sorry I am not laughing with your pain, I went thruogh unmedicated births. But your comment " take me now , lord". Im deceased XD
I have ibs and it’s consistently this horrible
Very funny
I have had chronic constipation for a long time. My son is 14 now but when I had labor pains, it felt EXACTLY like passing a bad constipation poop. I didnt really feel uterine cramps at all.
My labor felt like poop cramps as well, I can see how she thought it was just constipation
As someone who suffered a perforated intestine at home secondary to an undiagnosed abscess and diverticulitis I can tell you I too thought it was constipation. I made no sound. Crawled up the stairs to my parents bedroom for them to call the paramedics. It’s amazing how much pain the human body can tolerate. I applaud her!!! Going thru labor was easier than my perforation.
I have taken care of a baby who was born into a toilet. As crazy as it might sound, it can happen! She knew she was pregnant but just like this mom in the show, she was still definitely in shock after it happened.
@@Godwinpounds4333 Go away scammer!
An old deaf lady I worked with told me that her mother had her in the toilet. She didn't know she was pregnant and she had some sort of blood clot disorder where she regularly had bad blood clots in the toilet. Ms. Kathy said her mom tried to flush her not realizing it was a baby. Ms. Kathy is 70 years old and a very Godly woman. She told me that story many times over the 7 years we worked together.
That is exactly how I got pregnant! I had an alarm that went off to remind me to take my pill every day at the same time. I already had a 3 year old and wasn't ready for another, so I religiously took my pill. I was put on an antibiotic for an ear infection. I have never had a regular period my entire life. Not before kids, or after. I'm post menopausal now. Never regular. Maybe 2 periods a year. Went years without one at all. So not having one didn't mean anything to me. I was sick for weeks so I went to the doctor and found out I was 5 months pregnant and having a boy! I hadn't gained any weight. I was on bed rest and medication to help me eat as I couldn't even keep water down. I was 109 lbs the day I delivered him.
As soon as they mentioned that birth control, I could see the frustration start to build on your face, girl!! 😆
Same! But could it effect birth control because of the side effects, like diarrhea? When the pill is not fully absorbed and you vomit or have diarrhea it can be seen as a missed pill?
@@DT_1605 I doubt it. She didn't mention anything about that. They claimed that the two medications interacted with each other, meaning the antibiotic interfered (supposedly) with how her liver metabolized her birth control pills
Sometimes an antibiotic can result in nausea ( and in turn vomiting) or diarrhea, which could result in the contraceptive not being fully absorbed.
Maybe phrase this as a question for the doctor to answer
@@mizlindsayk it’s not really a question it’s actually a statement that has some fact to it
Back in the 90's, I worked with two women who got pregnant with 'erythromycin' babies because a upper respiratory infection was making the rounds of our department store. Neither had told their GP that they were on BCPs. As a result, I was absolutely PARANOID any time I had bronchitis or a URI, making sure I told my doctor I was on BCPs any time they wanted to prescribe medication!
If you throw your pill up, then sure - you missed a pill and that affects how well they work - but otherwise the idea any common antibiotics will affect absorption or function of OCPs is false.
Yes I was thinking the same thing. I have deffenitly gotten the morning for this reason a number of times!
11:50 I agree. I actually find myself using that advise a lot nowadays for other people - and it’s hardly ever been with someone who is pregnant amusingly. A friend who didn’t realize specific protocols on discontinuing medicines, friends who are navigating learning how to be more aware and sensitive to other peoples experiences, some random stranger who did a perhaps not the best job mixing drinks. Hell, I use it on myself when my social anxiety goes up to ten and I convince myself I’m a horrible person for doing x thing when it was entirely outside of my awareness or control.
It’s really good advice, and something I’d recommend to everyone. We live, we learn, and we keep moving knowing that we did what we could with what we knew at the time. That’s what’s important.
LOL mdj has clearly never had chronic constipation/been badly constipated 🤣🤣🤣 TMI: at my worst, most backed up time, i literally gave birth to a monstrosity. it was the size of both my forearms put together. i don't even remember the pain of it coming out because i was just so so relieved that it was OUT. my abdomen literally deflated. chronic constipation pain is something else lol, i've literally blacked out in the toilet before. it gets... intense 😅
That sounds awful!!!! 😮 I'm on the other end of that spectrum where if I'm not careful, I might have an accident 🤦🏻♀️ I was stuck in traffic once and 💩 my pants bc I couldn't hold it!!! 😭 Also awful 😂😂
Hate to say it, but I can kinda relate to some of it. I have IBS. And I go both ways. It gets really painful when you get constipated.
@@biancajc 😭😭😭 why can’t our bowels just function properly 😭🤣 you’re wishing you can hold it and i’m over here wishing i didn’t hold it so well 😭
Everyone reacts to pain differently. I've had both kidney stones and gallstones, and am currently dealing with a post gallbladder surgery condition where certain foods can lead me to severely painful bowel movements. Sometimes, it's so painful that I can't see straight and I think I'm going to vomit. But, I don't scream either. I make a lot of really intense faces, do some intense breathing, and grab onto stuff nearby. But, in all of those situations, I kept my screaming internal, not external. 🤷🏽
Same, I had my lower jaw broken twice in a wisdom tooth removal. When the anaesthesia wore off I felt the pain, it was so intense that my vision went blurry and super colourful, I too grabbed onto stuff nearby because I was so dizzy. I just remember that I told my dad to go eff himself and I went straight to bed where I probably passed out. Btw I live in Europe, we only get local anaesthesia, I wasn't high like an American, just really mad when my head turned into a ball of pain while my dad was talking shid 😂 but you couldn't hear a single squeak from me.
Yep, I've just found screaming a waste of energy. I go internal to deal with the pain and breathe/live through it.
Was your gallbladder removed? I get really painful cramps and diarrhea when I eat certain foods. It also happens if I eat too much or too fast. Alot of people who had them removed develope digestive issues afterwards. I'm halfway expecting them to be like tonsils. They used to remove them all the time then they realized how important they are to the immune system and now they try to avoid taking them out.
Same, intense pain makes me nauseous and light-headed, but I'm quiet as I breathe through it because honestly I'm just trying to maintain consciousness 😅 I've never been in labor before, but my period cramps are so intense sometimes that I can't move, and feell Ike aim going to puke or pass out. Pretty sure it's undiagnosed endometriosis since it runs in my family, but my doctor said unless it impedes my daily functioning or if I'm trying to conceive and can't then we'll do the surgery to diagnose/remove it, but otherwise he won't do the surgery. Luckily even though my cramps are that bad, a nice big dose of ibuprofen every few hours is enough to make it manageable that ai can get through the day and don't have to miss work or school. But yeah, definitely relate to being silent while in the most intense pain. You'll see it on my face and my breathing, but not hear me
@@karameader156 Yes, I had my gallbladder removed. My digestive issues are the opposite of what the doctors expected, though. They told me to avoid fat and that fiber would be safe, but fiber is what cause me to have intense pain. I can usually tolerate some fatty foods as long as they are not oily, and I have to drink my coffee a little weaker than I used to. I'm not a huge fan of high fiber foods anyway, though. 🤷🏽
This same exact situation happened to my cousin! She didn’t know she was pregnant until her baby came out in the toilet! (She was a tiny premi baby). She said the toilet water shocked the baby’s system and saved her life I think? People don’t usually believe her, this video is so validating😂
Thank you for saying "give yourself permission to not feel guilty for things you know now but didn't know then". It's so important that we don't get bogged down and guilt ourselves for past lacks of knowledge regardless of circumstances. Thank you! I love your content by the way.
As a mum who gave birth to a baby with a full head of long dark hair, which then all fell out and grew back blonde, the casting feels pretty accurate 😂 and when I say full head, it was down to his babygrow about 2 weeks after he was born. He would kick off as soon as he was naked, but swaddling him and washing all that hair made him squirm with pleasure!
Yeah I had a full head of dark hair when I was born but it had turned dirty blonde to blonde by the time I was a toddler. I dunno if it fell out in between but it could well have done
Same here! My kiddo had like 1-1.5 inch long black hair when they were born. At about 4-5 months their hair started to fall out and blonde hair started to grow out. At age 1.5 years they were super blonde! Now at age (almost) 10 their hair is dark blonde with golden strokes in it. I found it super weird! 😂
I have 4 kids. 2 we're bald and 2 had a head full of hair. One of the ones that had hair was born at 27 weeks and had that much hair when she was born.
My mum was apparently the same way when she was born! Born with a mop of long, black hair and then it all fell out and she was a blonde ever since.
@@punkemunky yeah my hairy boy was prem too, only 6 weeks, nothing scary like a 27weeker though!
My baby decided to make his debut a week early this morning at 33 weeks 🎉 currently laying in my hospital bed post c-section and so happy to have a new episode to watch!
Congratulations!
@Nicky L yes, we were planning to deliver at 34 because I had preeclampsia but baby had other ideas
@@KatSmith88 thank you!
Congratulations! My baby is currently 4 days overdue. 😑 Not that I'm counting...
Congratulations!!
MDJ, I have to say...finding your channel like 2 or 3 years ago when my own life was crumbling...nothing related to babies or gyn health...but the statement you always make, "you do your best with the information you have at the time," has resonated with me so much and has been unbelievably helpful in getting through my own mental health journey. That one statement is so powerful, and I'm so glad I found your channel and heard those words of wisdom. Thank you ❤️☺️
I was put on an antibiotic back in 1990, no one told me back then that it could interfere with my birth control , sure enough I got pregnant and he is now 31 years old and the light of my life my husband and I had talked about getting married but hadn’t made anything official, we’ve now been married 32 years and still going ❤❤
On a re-watch of The Nanny I realized I would LOVE to see your reaction to the OBGYN scenes in the last season. The doctor's office, the way she talks, and your thoughts on the care she gives Fran would be so fun to watch. Thank you for this channel. Love it!
I was honestly starting to worry since your I didn't know I was pregnant reactions come out at the same time as my period. I am pregnant and your last one was with my last period. 😂
LOL!! Congratulations ♥
This is too funny 😂 best wishes for a happy and healthy pregnancy!
Congratulations!
It is interesting that MDJ was so surprised about the toilet birth. It is actually not unheard of, and you see it a lot in what is called precipitate labor (very fast birth, usually second or more pregnancy ). The biggest risk is head injury
I love how understanding you are with both parents
the mom must have been used to having bad cramps or constipation to not realize they were contractions lol🤣
My husband and I always joke about me being able to possibly laugh a baby out because my periods are already so horrible due to PCOS/PMDD, that the cramps I get come in waves just like contractions lmfao. So we both feel I'll be able to handle childbirth like a pro!!!
@@RedRoseSeptember22 What is PMDD?
Premenstrual dysphoric disorder
A similar incident happened at Silver Dollar City in Missouri. A pregnant woman rode a roller coaster, went to the bathroom and delivered a premature baby in the toilet. The baby lived but needed alot of support. I met this woman at the health department where well baby check ups and prenatal care was given. The baby was small for her age and still on oxygen. The mother was there for prenatal care as she was pregnant again. It never occurred to me that siblings could be 7 months apart.
Hello 👋 how are you doing??
@@Godwinpounds4333 Go away scammer!
Wow. Sounds like just the kind of idiot who ought to keep breeding too 🙄😒
Maybe she got early labour due to upside down roller coaster rides, she should not have sat in a roller coaster during pregnancy, due to which baby was born prematurely
Awe. You're truly a kind soul! I really enjoy your videos!
I commented on one of your other videos on how your saying, "you do the best you can with the information you have," has helped me in other situations. 😊
Could you do a video about delayed cord clamping please? The effects pro or con, how it affects the baby, whether it contributes to jaundice and whether there is any significant stats as to whether it increases/decreases photo(light)therapy
I literally wait ALL month for these new episodes, It doesn't feel like this series has been going on as long as it has..
We love ya Dr Jones! (ShortRound voice)
I hope this series never stops haha. It truly is one of my favorite times of the month.
MDJ is the sole reason I keep pregnancy tests on hand at all times and take a test at the slightest change in sensations in my body 😅
She’s literally like “did you sneeze at a strange time of day? Best to be sure with a pregnancy test” 😂
Omg thank you for bringing up the antibiotic and contraceptive interaction myth! Unfortunately after those studies came out, the "interaction" would still pop up in our pharmacy software for years. 🙄
Honestly with my first labor I thought I had gas or was just constipated so I did most of the labor at home and I was so quiet that I didn’t wake my parents or my sister. The only reason we went to the hospital was because I knew I was pregnant and by the time I got there I was 10 cm and could have delivered anytime. Needless to say I can understand going into labor, not making a sound and finding a baby in a toilet.
where the hell was the father
Hopping into the shower after birth with baby wouldnt be my initial thought. But I think she was definitely in shock and thought for some reason hot water would warm baby more than being wrapped up... but maybe she also wanted to clean herself too. (Shrugs) we normally can get warm by hot shower but I would listen to what MDJ said and not do it.
I appreciate the justice for bald babies. Both of my little guys were bald for sssooo long. I thought it was rude when my first son finally grew a bit of hair and it was curly and very...VERY red and my friend just went 'oh.....oh no...what happened?' Dude what the hell? He's adorable bald or with red hair! My second son has only JUST needed his first haircut at 3. It's so fine and so strawberry blonde. My beautiful hairless children.
This happened in my dorm room! The girl who stayed there the year before me didn’t know she was pregnant and ended up delivering into the toilet thinking she was severely constipated. It was a legit story (I even think she was in an IDKIWP episode…) that warped and fueled several campus myths, including one of being able to hear the baby crying from the toilet room late at night (which doesn’t even make sense, as the baby didn’t die so they obviously weren’t haunting the toilet….but that little fact did not matter at all to early 2000s college kids who constantly would ask me if I ever heard the crying when they found out I was living in that room lmao!)
“That 3 month old [that’s suppose to be a newborn in the scene] has a ton of hair” my daughter was born with that much hair 😅 the doc was like “Woah, she has a head full of hair!” As I was in labor lol
My son too
Yep all of my mom's babies (including me) had full heads of hair ^.~
My hair was so long at birth that my mother could put my hair in pigtails by six months. Meanwhile my sister was totally bald until she was two!
My mom told me the same thing. My brothers were bald, I had 3 inches of hair and it never fell out.
an intern had been sent in to check whether or not I was fully dilated and ny son was already in the crowning position, so the intern said "oh, wow, that is a lot of hair, that is a lot of hair"
Didn't Know I Was Pregnant makes me so anxious about my own birth control. I'm on the shot and when it caused me to miss two periods I took a pregnancy test lol.
I credit this show with inciting my birth control anxiety. You can get bulk pregnancy tests on Amazon! That’s how I cope anyway lol. Also MDJ helps a whole lot
Absolutely same. I have an IUD, and I keep pregnancy tests in the bathroom, just in case.
Taking pregnancy tests to make sure is good. I mean, I'm sorry if it causes you extreme anxiety, but I think a good message to take away from the show is to check if you are concerned. I went on the pill at 16, had/have irregular periods due to PCOS, but made sure to take a test every couple months if I didn't get a period once I became sexually active. It became just a part of my routine. It really gave me peace of mind.
@@Lessons-ik2qm Same I have a Mirena and I take pregnancy tests every now and then just in case cuz I don’t get a period
When I started birth control at 16 and missed my period for 3 months, I was SCARED! Told mom, she bought me pregnancy tests, the fancy digital ones, all of them negative. Went to the doctor to do a pregnancy test, and negative. I was so confused. Then I found out hormonal birth control can stop periods completely. I haven't had regular periods in 7 years! Now I'm paranoid I'd get pregnant and not even have the periods to give me hints, even tho my birth control is like 99% effective and since I'm not in a relationship atm I also use condoms. The fear is always there😂
I just want to say thank you for doing these videos! With the info you shared I was able to help my sister deliver her baby! The doctor sent her home saying she wasn’t having contractions. Her and baby are healthy! So thank you for doing these videos !
i can relate to her not calling for help. I would probably take really long time to call for any kind of help too. That’s just the reaction some people have to injury or shock.
I'm Alaskan, and almost everyone I know is Native, and I can honestly say I've never met anyone who didn't eat tons of fish during their pregnancy 🤣🤷♀️ In AK, people aren't eating mackerel, we eat natural(not farmed) salmon, and salmon is such a big part of Alaskan culture and especially Native culture (Native AK, obviously not Native American) I don't know anyone who would be willing to go that long without salmon🤣🤣
I imagine that if pregnant woman weren't supposed to eat fish, it would be like when you stop drinking alcohol during the pregnancy.
Everyone would immediately found out you nre pregnant the minute you say you can't eat fish
Alternative title: MDJ has the "Shocked Pikachu face" for 8 minutes
It’s my favorite time of the month… so much better than that “other time of the month.” 💗 Thank you MDJ for continuing to educate us while still being entertaining. 💞
Even if there is no chance of being pregnant it's still good to check when your period is acting up
i've seen so many of these that I just recite the "we do the best we can" spiel along with you. I love these episodes
I’m due mid January with my first, and while I like to think that I have a decently high pain tolerance, I don’t know how confident I am that I’ll be THIS badass. I would really love my labor and delivery to just feel like constipation. If that could be the case that’d be greeeeaaaatt.
To be fair, I have had constipation that comes in waves the way labour is described, and the feeling of it trapped in my body has had me in tears like this. I can understand why someone might think they just need to poop.
It’s always great to see you react to this show lol. Also I would just like to say that recently somebody my aunt knows had a baby and she did not know she was pregnant either, it was crazy to hear that this kind of thing actually really happens in real life!
I always wondered why babies looked white when they came out. I know pretty much zero about babies. They scare the living hell out of me. My sister used to plop my niece on my lap and that would make her soooo calm she would poop. 🤣 Guess I was useful. She would scream because her belly hurt. Sister said she had issues because she was born like a month early. We found out she didn't scream when I held her and she would take a fat duce 🤣 Uncle Kevin was good for something I guess 🤣
Lol
Yeah they say a lot of dad’s think the baby is dead because they’re born with that white gunk on them and just looking the opposite what you think when you think of new life
Hahah, my youngest brother wanted nothing to do with small children until he got comfortable with my kids. We basically forced him to hold my first baby. He's still a bit awkward with babies, and I don't know if he'll ever actually want children of his own, but he's turned into a pretty fun uncle at family events.
@@bethannevandagriff7054 are you related to Chris vandagriff
@@kevincoon1809 Not that I'm aware of
I have my issues with meat and well... after a feast of ribs... lots of protein and lots of fat... congratulations it's a new subtenant 🎉 I also just realised I'd be such a mean mom, cause I'd have the greatest fun calling my kid "my lil poopy"
that was a running joke in our family when my sister was little. Dad used to tell her she comes from twins, the first was the poop and then she. Our dad’s weird.
@@martinajurickova5750 oh my god, he did not 😂 dude broke the first rule of labor and delivery
Love your content and LOVE two dots! I've been playing it for over a year. So glad to see they sponsored your channel :)
Hello 👋 how are you doing?
I accidentally gave myself Zinc poisoning with Pedialyte and I was so bounded up for 2 days the pain I was experiencing was so intense. It’s probably as close as I could guess labor feels like. I am a trans man and I’ve been pregnant once before but had a miscarriage around 3 and a half months along. The uterus is a crazy thing.
I still love the intro to these videos, it makes me laugh every time Thanks MDJ for keeping it in your videos!
This is actually the only episode I've seen on TV.
I remember when the book (and later movie) “My Left Foot” was being discussed on a talk show, the author’s Cerebral Palsy was possibly attributed to his mother not realizing she was pregnant and giving birth on the toilet. And as a result, he received a severe head and neck injury. Side note: the poor mother eventually gave birth 22 times, 9 died in infancy.
I never watched this show, but you are so much fun to watch as you critique.
I was given Azithromycin and I’m so glad the pharmacist told me that it can interfere with my BC. Otherwise I could have had a baby!
I was a bald baby... because my hair was so fine!
Such an intriguing and interesting episode!! Love this series!
I was a bald baby.... and toddler lol, I always joke that I didn't have hair until I was 5
@@nastassjahall9358 I had rubbed the hair off one side of my head and was born in the 80's with hair only on one side of my head- my Dad worked with the teenagers at our Church while I was a baby... somewhere there is a photograph before the bald side had caught up where the teenagers spiked up the hair on the one side of my head
@@jessicaroseelizabethp.7911 lol that's great. My daughter managed to rub off all the hair on the top of her head so she looked like a monk baby for like 3 months until she rubbed the sides off too 😅
At almost a year, she has about as much hair as she did as a newborn. But at least she's not rubbing it off anymore!
Always some haters in snap who never experienced anything in their lives have soo much too say about a life they never lived👌🏽
I love these videos. This happened to me I was 33 weeks along when my oldest made her appearance. I was 20 years old dealing with other things to not focus on changes in my body. It was something I will never forget.
This is it! This is the episode that traumatized me as a child!!
My mom loves TLC and medical shows, but I've never been able to handle the pregnancy ones... This show horrified me as a kid, and this was the episode that started it all!
I was a bald baby until I was 2, at least. Meanwhile, my sister was born with so much hair that the nurse helping with her delivery thought she was a boy, which like... I still don't understand how the amount of hair on a baby's head is related to their sex but whatever
THANK YOU! My son gets called a girl all the time because of how much hair he has. It’s extremely annoying.
That is terrifying!! To be chillin watching tv and then out of no where hearing a baby cry!! I’ve had panic attacks about that before and come to find out it was just stupid cats fighting in the woods behind my house. To find an actual baby!!! Gives me the chills.
Hi I love the vid! As a teen I don't know what I will do as an adult yet, but your videos put OBGYN in the top three things I want as a job! BTW love the fetus lamp in the background! (I know its been there for ages but just felt like complimenting it today.) 😊
This girl had the easiest labor I've ever heard of! I'm at the part where she's about to flush 😳 omg it was the baby!!!! Ahhhhh! This girl is hard-core! Props mama ! I've never had a child, but I cannot imagine how painful and scary it could be
"Much better than that other time of the month..."
I have some bad news for you, MDJ- 😂
p.s. I mean that they're the same time this month, not that I don't like these videos; I look for ward to them a lot!
I vividly remember this episode from when I was a kid. Terrifying story. It really stuck with me.
The "we do the best we can with the information we have" mentality has been so helpful for my outlook on animal rights. Sooooo many people buy animals irresponsibly and its hard to not be mad at them but its so much better for my mental health to instead try gentle teaching and understand they didn't know any better.
I had a friend in high school who described her labor was like taking a really big poop. I had a second friend who said the same thing. Now I am not a woman but have had 12 major surgeries. I realize most people forget the extreme pain they were in. I have experienced that myself.
As someone with chronic constipation... it gets just as bad and even worse than my miscarriages sometimes so I kinda get why she didn't know
EDIT: Bald baby justice comment. My little sister was born with a head of thick blonde hair and it all fell out at 1 month and she was a bald baby for many many months before it grew back haha. Probably inaccurate casting but a hairy baby can become a lil bald baby sometimes (apparently its common in my family for that to happen)
This happened with my son too. He had very much beautiful black hair and it all fell out.
My daughter was born bald and stayed bald for months.
I was totally bald until I was like 2 or 3 years old! My mom got really bad heartburn throughout her whole pregnancy and was told it would mean that I would have a full head of hair at birth. that must’ve been a surprise lol
Yep, happened to my son, full head of dark hair at birth, it all fell out except for a patch at the front came back blonde after a period of being bald...and a bit scabby looking due to excema 😁
@@riley9703 hah interesting. I've seen some studies that show there is a correlation between heartburn and hair at birth but it concluded that it was not direct proof. I think it was like... 75% hairy baby? Which leaves a pretty big margin for bald babies
My mum was convinced someone had shaved my eldest sister as all her's fell out overnight apparently 😂
Mama Doctor Jones has hilarious commentary & reactions 😂
Besides the amazing education I receive from your videos, I have to say my favorite bits in these are your reactions. They're so entertaining and often the exact same as mine!
I gave birth literally a week ago without an epidural (not prepared for no epidural) and I screamed so hard my lungs are still crackling. The fact that she didn't make any noise is baffling to me lmao
I love the information you give us! You have such a wonderful personality! ❤️
Edited to add: Two Dots can be so frustrating when you get in the 400’s levels. I’ve been stuck for days as well! 😡 As much as I want to delete the app sometimes, I can’t admit defeat 😂
the fire levels drive me insane lol
I had not reached level 10 yet, but I had downloaded it again to support this channel since I had recently purchased a new smartphone and so I did not have 2 dots on here
Love your videos they always cheer me up!
Hi Mama Doctor Jones , i just want to say i love your videos. I have learned a lot by your videos. Thanks for what you do everyday! we need doctors and more people in the world like you:) Chelsea
😱 I watched this episode when it first came out, I've been waiting for you to cover this.
This is in fact my favorite time of month
Lol! MDJ's facial reactions are always priceless.
I love your videos😍 Thank you so much for making such interesting and educational content😍
I know them very well, I’ve worked with Ethan (the father) for almost 15 years i will never forget the phone call when he called to tell us. They are great people and great parents. A lot of times you think these shows have to be dramatic to get the views this absolutely is not. The baby is now a beautiful young adult with a couple of younger brothers who weren’t born in a toilet!😂 I have to say I was afraid to go to the comment section on this because of how cruel people can be. I’m very happy to see all the positive words for them. This was a great video. 👍
What I don't understand is how you just stand up to flush the toilet without wiping after what you thought was a huge poop. 🤔 How did she not see blood on the toilet paper, or feel a whole ass umbilical cord hanging out of her when she wiped??? I'm so perplexed. Like ewe. I really hope she's wiping herself after using the bathroom. 😳
I'm so happy right now I wasn't the only person to have this question. 🤣
I was thinking the same and just about to write a comment about it! Just how??
if you’re constipated, it is usually a big solid poop which makes no smudges. And maye they also had these butt fountain (idk how it is actually named, but some fancy households can have them)
@@martinajurickova5750 bidet is the term you're looking for
I'm wondering if she wasn't drunk. Might explain a higher pain tolerance, and some of her seeming odd reactions - not calling for help, climbing into the shower, still not yelling for help, getting out of the shower.
For the longest time when watching these videos I was always like “yea I can see why they didn’t know”. I mean if they take a test which comes up negative and still have some bleeding going on, I got it.
HOWEVER, I am currently pregnant with my first child in week 25 and now I find these scenarios utterly bewildering. I mean even with a negative pregnancy test and a “cycle” how do you not notice your baby moving inside you? If I didn’t know I was pregnant and felt my little one doing acrobatics in my belly, I’d be freaking out and running to a doctor asap. I just don’t get how anyone could miss that 😅
It can depend on the placement of the placenta. Some women don't feel as much movement of the baby because of that. That was not my experience but just what I've read/heard.
Different babies, different pregnancies. Sometimes even other things you have can mask the pregnancy. It's crazy but it can happen.
Definitely one of the most unique episodes!
Had to comment that I was a little shocked to hear that MDJ didn't know babies can be born with hair and go bald. My husband had a full wild head of hair at birth and was bald by 3 Mos. Our LO was pretty much the same, SO MUCH HAIR! But around 3 months, it started falling out. It was very patchy in spots for a long time, and she was almost completely bald at 4 Mos.
