"If you have irregular cycles and your think you have the flu take a pregnancy test" made me laugh cause I have irregular cycles and thought I had the flu and ended up being pregnant.
My flu turned into being 20 weeks pregnant….
Alright, solidified. The new slogan is no period + “I have the flu” = take a pregnancy test 😆
Same.
Same here. Called my son 'THE stomach bug'
@@rebeccaholcombe9043 do you tell him that when ever he makes you mad?
"Ruin it with educational commentary?" Oh contraire, MDJ! Your commentary is exactly why we're all here!
i think mama Doctor Jones is funny and cute to watch. I have watched her thought out my pregnancy to battle prepartum depression. MDJ also talks about scary or weird happenings during pregnancy. I ask my OBGYN to make sure that doesnt happen cause i get freaked out. Im pretty sure my baby thinks Dr. Jones is his mom i watch to much.
Yes!!
Absolutely!!!
Yup. I’ve seen most of these episodes. I’m entirely here for MDJ’s commentary lol.
Yes!
My son was born laughing, not crying. And it's been a wild ride ever since. He's 41 now.
Aweee
Ooh stories please!
Awwww, that's cute!!! :-)
Wow! :)
Can you really tell the difference at that age?
"It is impossible to not push when in active labor." THANK YOU! Exactly! Why in the world are nurses coached to tell you that??
I know. I was told, "Don't push! Blow!"🤦 Why do they think blowing makes you not need to push?
They are taught to say that in case you aren't fully dialted. Some people get the urger to push around 8 cm and end up damaging their cervix
@@KAITHEINVADER56 They kept saying it to me after they saw that I was fully dilated. They wanted me to wait for the doctor. He was somewhere else in the building apparently.
@@jessicacharlton7347 saaaame. With my first the nurses kept telling me 'don't push, the doctor isn't here yet!' At the time I didn't know any better. But now, looking back, I'm like eff that; the baby is coming; the Dr can hurry up or miss it 🤷
It’s not impossible but OK

Girl, I had a my uterus removed 10 years ago and the ER I go to is the hospital I had it removed! It's all over my records cause it was cancer related. That ER STILL tries to give me a pregnancy test every time!!
Annoying for sure but still at least they're doing their job by crossing the "T" and dotting the "I". Still life must go on...
My sister told the ER that if she is pregnant she wants her money back. They were, "huh?" She told them that her uterus was removed. They backed off.
Haha I had my tubes tied after my last kid ( before I had cancer ) & once told a nurse that if I was pregnant they needed to either clone or kill my husband cause somehow he was talented enough to "un-tie" my tubes! She laughed so loud that a Doctor and three other nurses came in the room. Poor thing nearly pissed herself!
Same here. I am wondering at what age they will stop with that.
@@chrissyzcreationz although super rare, there is still the possibility of getting pregnant with tubes tied. There was actually an episode of “I didn’t know I was pregnant” that MDJ covered of this very situation happening.
"going 3 months or more without getting your period is not normal"
Me, having doctors telling me not getting it for 6 months was completely normal: 👁️👄👁️
Same
Exactly. Mine tried to take me off of birth control because it was normal. And then had the audacity say that he has something that will fix my acne. I could care less about my acne.
Same here, I have to take a pregnancy test every 3 months or so just to make sure I'm not pregnant. I take birth control regularly and im never late, but it gives me more peace of mind
@@naecoalana8017 WHAT. my respect for your doc: 📉📉📉
Me having my mom tell me for 6 years my period always being irregular is normal, but then my sister starts getting heavy periods and was shipped off to the OBGYN in under a year, meanwhile I’ve been just dealing it with for 6 damn years and have yet to even be considered to take to an OBGYN, which I should since I’m literally gonna be 20 in November :/
How insane it is for a clinic to send a patient 2 hours away while she's in active labor, DURING a tornado!!! Are there no doctors or nurses at the danged clinic?!!!
Yeah that also shocked me. So glad I live in Belgium. I live 5min away from a (DECENT) hospital 😂
The risk of staying at the clinic would’ve been greater than the risk of transporting - they have no idea how far along this pregnancy was or if there are any complications, so if baby had needed to go into the NICU or if mom had any severe complications their clinic may not have been able to handle those needs and they may have needed to send them to the hospital anyway. Definitely not ideal circumstances but they made the right call with the information they had
There are hospitals that can't take of such stuff, here, in many public hospitals, they can't deal with complications and csections so the patients are asked to move to bigger hospitals
knowing that she was in labour and sending 2 EMTs with her who had no experience :D that is just pure insanity
In rural areas - yep, you might have ONE dr for the local “hospital” that treats patients but for things like birth - appendectomy- you get transported to the nearest full-fledge hospital.
The lack of pregnancy test, “listen it’s your baby” and “we’ve never delivered a baby we don’t know what we’re doing! Don’t push”. This was in the midwest… I live in the Midwest and I’m not surprised 😂🤷🏼♀️
When I had my oldest I was in small town WI and the hospital served 3 towns. They asked if the EMT /Paramedic class could watch the delivery of my baby. I was like who cares. So 10 strangers stood their watching to make sure they never made it to the point where they had to deliver a baby without having seen an actual delivery. She got stuck and doc ripped her out to save her life. Emts learned a lot that day lol
@@Irehs72 I know a woman who's baby passed before the doctor tried to "rip" them out when they got stuck. Maybe it's just the way you described it, but that's horrifying that they did that not heroic.
My 87 year old GMA had to have a hysterectomy and she had to sign a paper that she acknowledged she wouldn't be able to have any more babies. 😂😂😂
I'm sure that's just protocol
When the doctor told me that, I looked at her and told her that if I wanted more kids, I would do what I did to get my daughter, adopt from foster care. She looked at me like I was nuts. I think that most women MY age would have freaked out on the doctor, so she was surprised.
I was 46 when I had a hysterectomy. Neither gyno I saw asked about whether I wanted more kids. I didn't, of course.
@@brenda.lizeth I know it was. My GMA and I had a nice laugh about it though
Lmfao
Ok so just wanted to share this. When they said “try not to push” and you said your body is gonna do it anyway it made me think of my sons birth. The nurse came in while I was in active labor and said my dr was 20 min away and asked if I could wait. I told her NOPE SOMEONE BETTER CATCH HIM! 5 min later my son was born and my dr missed the entire thing. 😂
My mom had this happen to her. The doctor didn't believe she was in actual labor and took forever to get to her. The nurses and my grandma had to coach her into giving birth. My lil sis was born not long after that. When the doctor came in she said she three a pillow at him and the nurses had to keep her in bed lol. She was about to strangle him.
"Can you wait?" Like as if you're waiting for them to go to the supply room and bring back a fresh loaf of bread or something :D like what?
"Can you wait?"🤣 Sure, I'll just hold the baby in for about 20 more minutes until the doctor gets here. People can totally do that. Seriously though, why would anyone ever ask if someone can wait to give birth until a more convenient time?
That's doctors and hospital births for ya. From everything I've heard and read about it so far. Asking her to wait for the doctor reminds me of this one case I read where the nurses held the mother down and pressed the crowning infant's head inside this woman and held it for like six minutes because the doctor had not arrived. She ended up with permanent nerve damage that causes her a lot of pain.
It's usually gotta be on their time with no consideration for the laboring mother. That's the reason for a high percentage of unnecessary and risky procedures like inductions and C-sections performed when neither the mother or infant are in distress. It's usually because the doctor is in a hurry or has a dinner reservation to get to or whatever, or they just feel like it's been going on too long. This is why I'm choosing to give birth in a birthing center with a midwife so I can listen to my body and do it in my own time.
@@mermaidflows4391 I thought it would be like that but I had a really positive hospital birth.
The pregnancy test thing is so true! I am not sexually active and i never have been. Cervical cancer runs in my family so I'm on the pill and see the OB regularly. I have to assure her every single time that no, I'm not pregnant, there's no chance, and if I am it's baby jesus 2.0 😂
Seems safer to risk a controlled delivery at the clinic then putting someone in labor on the road for hours
Especially in a bad storm!!
Exactly my thought. Surely if the EMTs could deliver a baby, so could the doctors at the clinic.
No because the baby could be a preemie and the mom could bleed out. No access to blood transfusion or a NICU that’d possibly have 2 dead ppl on their hands when they could have just sent them to a hospital.
I think it was just the sheer lack of information.. no prenatal testing, no ultrasounds, no est due date etc. They would have been going in completely blind and if mom or baby needed medical treatment that they weren't prepared for, like blood transfusions, c-section, breathing machine for baby etc, it would have been fatal to stay at the clinic
@@hywodena thing is we can't really and we don't really want to either.
I'd rather treat severe polytrauma then deliver a baby.
I really appreciate Mama Dr Jones explaining that cutting the cord is not an emergency and that skin to skin contact in mother's arms is the place for baby to be. That seems SO obvious but it was not that many years ago that that wasn't standard practice, even (especially) in hospitals.
Every time I think about holding my babies for the first time I tear up and get chill bumps. Most beautiful moments in my life💙💖
Yes! The cord can stay attached for a while.
Yes delayed cord cutting is becoming more common thankfully
After the difficulties my 2nd little girl had breathing at birth, I was advised to request delayed cord clamping for any future babies.
When her little sister was born, the staff advised against delayed cord clamping but called the resuscitation team into the room at delivery. The cord was cut quickly and fortunately, no resuscitation was needed. The decision to cut quickly so best access was available to get her breathing still makes a lot of sense knowing how terrifying that 2nd birth was for the medical professionals, let alone me as mama.
I hope they clean the baby first or I would probably be grossed out by my baby.
"If you have had sex in the last 4 months and feel a little funky, take a pregnancy test" might not be a bad idea at this rate
"I feel like you can't look at the ER from your car without getting a pregnancy test." this made me laugh. So true. XD
The degree to which Mama Doctor Jones' nails match her scrubs is absolutely on point! 💅
Yes!
Yes, so pretty
I saw this comment before i saw her nails and now its all i can see😂😂 but yes!!! I cant match two nails with the same polish let alone match my polish to my outfit!! Way to go Mama Doctor Jones!!!❤❤👌🏻👌🏻
“We do the best we can with the information we have” has become my mantra. (Not pregnant, just a human) Thank you for it!
amen, I have alot of guilt for things I did in life from lack of info if I had just known I could/would have done better but I did my best with what I knew nothing like on THIS show but still
@@brandibastian4193 God same I cringe everyday. It's a really nice mantra though I'm going to try it
Funny to run into someone with my first name :)
I want merchandise with this quote!
I'm literally a virgin and whenever I have an ER visit, they say "let's do a pregnancy test just in case."
Also the way the doctor said she's pregnant is hilarious. "You ARE pregnant!"
That's like being an out asexual for 2 years and being tested every single one of my many doctors appointments.......... Like........ Nothing has changed........
@@shiramarie6770I think the reality is a lot of people lie, and it's better to be safe than sorry
@@dragons_of_magicgirl368 yes but when I've reached the point with every single medical professional I go to where they have a documentation that says that I do not engage in sexual activity and they've been seeing me for over nine months I shouldn't have to keep getting tested every single time I come into every office I just makes me think feel like they think I'm constantly sexually active and lying
@@shiramarie6770 It's pretty unusual for your doctor to constantly test you. Is there a medication you're taking or a condition you have that would make pregnancy dangerous? I have that situation too.
@@vivianloney nope I don't even have a likelihood towards pregnancy because I have a history of decent levels of infertility.......... and it's not just my doctor's office it's every doctor's office in my medical team for almost every appointment the only thing I didn't get a test for was podiatry (and honestly I really think that once I've told my entire medical team I'm not sexually active for over a year I should stop being harassed)
I can "smell" the air pressure changes when a tornado is likely to manifest, and now so can my dog. We've been right like, every time. So now it doesn't make me anxious anymore; even my boss believes me, and if I say there's going to be tornado conditions, we close up and hunker down or scatter.
We don't get tornadoes in my country and they seem so scary 😨
Wow!! That's like having a superpower
@@thatailurophile3706 Not really. I can smell 'water' before it rains. Sometimes, instead of water, I can smell mud before it rains. Try the thought of smelling mud when everything is dry where you are at.
Let's go superpower. Doesn't matter if it's true. All I can do is smell when women are on their period with deadly accuracy. Not nearly as helpful or cool
@@genevievec.8002 I can do that too. Sometimes I can't exactly smell it, but I just have a feeling. Most of the time if I ask (especially if they're a close friend) I'm correct.
Through whole a series of events, I ended up catching my best friend’s baby a couple years ago. They were both healthy and safe, but it did take a beat for her to start crying. I’m sure it was maybe 5 seconds, but it felt like time stopped. It felt like a year even though I’d had 4 babies of my own and I knew it can take a minute. I didn’t breathe until she cried.
Wow, that must have been really terrifying but incredible at the same time
That's a crazy story, i bet you're really close with that friend and the daughter!!
I gave birth 8 months ago, he didn't cry right away either, and no one caught him, squished out on the table, and for a second everyone just stared at him and didn't move, and I got really worried. But then they scooped him up and everything was fine.
Great job, baby catcher ❤ I can't imagine but you're an angel for being there. Best to you and all the little ones!
@@shevahauser1780 Why didn't anyone catch him? They just let him... plop?
@@kieleyevatt2232 I mean if the table was there, the thing is unlikely to be harmed. Humans have been plopping babies onto surfaces for thousands of years.
Everyone needs a best friend like Nikki. Rihanna is going to have the BEST aunty.
Actually remember these are old episodes, Rihanna is 14 years old now
@@SaraHernandez-yu4tn no matter the age, a good aunty, is always awesome.
@@da1stamericus of course!!!, im sorry thats not what I meant. In the coment they sayd "is going to" when she has alrady been for a long time❤️❤️❤️
@@SaraHernandez-yu4tn ah thanks! Well in that case she HAS the best aunty 😆
I wonder what it must be like as a teen to know there's a TV episode about how you came to the world!
My best friend name is Nikki lol
Mom told my sister and I when we were born, neither of us cried right away. I was six weeks early, and when I finally did show up, I hiccuped, then started screeching. The doctor told Mom, “Her lungs are… more than fine. She’s just small.” I was supposed to be a set of twins…
When my sister was born, first contraction to baby was just 35 minutes. The nurse that was weighing and cleaning her apparently was begging this curious little baby to cry or squeak or something! No… sis just stared around at everything with this big-eyed, awed gaze. It was only after Dad brought me in to meet her that she started crying.
And that was basically our whole relationship for the next 20 years. Now we work at the same game shop!
I knew I was pregnant and thought I had the flu... Turns out I was in labor and also had preeclampsia. It's never just the flu! 🤣
"It's never lupus" -Gregory House
On the note of the baby not crying, my daughter was born last year and she didnt cry right away at all she just quietly watched everything around her until they put her on the scale to weigh her. They laid her on me and she just kinda grunted lol
thats so _cute_
oddly cute
Awe cute.
A grunt greeting, absolutely beautiful!
Sounds like a very observant and chill baby! “Ah, so that’s what it looks like out here. Was wondering what I was hearing.”
Telling a woman in labor not to push during a contraction (once her body has started pushing) is like telling someone not to breathe. 🤷♀️ You're welcome to TRY...
Allthough I know it's a joke, I felt like it was important to point out to never actually try to not breath. Although most bodies are most of the time pretty good at forcing you to breath, it can get dangerous in certain situations.
My sister was told not to push because the doctor wasn't there yet. She was giving birth naturally because the baby came so fast to top it off. Ended up with a hernia and I have no doubt it was because of trying to not push. Having had children myself I was like no way do I even try to not push, if my doctor isn't there the nurses will be delivering.
At the second birth my body automatically pushed. I had no say in the matter. My midwife followed how things were progressing and only helped when it was necessary. At the end there were two midwives helping and supporting me. The extra one was heavier than my midwife which was excellent because she could push on my back harder. The contractions had shifted to my back.
My nurses told me not to push. Some random guy made it in at the very last second, and it wasnt even my doctor!
My husband went to get food that his sister had brought after being stuck in the hospital for 24 hours (covid). Guess when I was ready to push. I waited for him, but not the doctor. After my practice pushes, the nurse told me to stop pushing. I was so uncomfortable waiting for him. Soon as he showed up, it was go time and, as I'm told often happens, the doctor barely got her second glove on 😂
I've commented this before.
My girlfriend got married at 27- only having one period in her life. The couple was going to go through medical help to get pregnant after the wedding. On their honeymoon however she got sick- but found out pretty quickly she was pregnant. Four children later ..... ❤️❤️❤️❤️
I was actually made to take a pregnancy test in the ER, even after I told them I had a hysterectomy! This seemed a bit over the top to me...I was like, oh, there is a needless expense I need to get charged for!
You can denied. Well I strongly did because I knew the price 🤣 im like look I took a pregnancy test at home. They just make sure they put it in their report or summary
My clue to take a pregnancy test was when I was eating and eating without an end, which reminded me of the pregnant cat I had adopted a few months back. Thank you cat!
I have this.... am I pregnant?
Nah I am just depressed and do boredom eating. Just stopped my period.
When brushing my teeth made me puke...that was when I was like with is wrong with me..I thought I had stomach cancer BC I was sk sick for weeks... 😂
i love that for you
I was over a month pregnant before I realized I needed to take a test. The prior couple weeks of nausea made me think cancer as well. Haha. But after I actually vomited one night for no reason I thought it was time to go get a test to rule out pregnancy. The soreness in my boobs was also a telling sign. Which I also wondered if it was cancer before realizing it was both boobs not just the right one. Lol. Does anyone else just always think they're going to get cancer?
Mine was when I threw up randomly then craved french fries right afterwards lol.
"I feel like people look at the ER and get a pregnancy test" That one killed me cuz I had gone to see my OB several years ago in my early 20's about some irregular mid-cycle bleeding and she would not take no for an answer on me taking a pregnancy test (though I had never had sex at that point). Even when I honest to God wasn't sexually active trip to OB = pregnancy test. Somehow it's hilarious now that I'm actually coming up on 26 weeks pregnant.
I guess it depends on the country right? Every time I had an gyne appointment all they ask is if a have had pregnancies or abortions
@@Framokamc To me making the patient take a pregnancy test every time does seem like a US specific thing. Gynos only ever ask me when I had my last period, and even when I needed a CT scan 2 years ago, they just asked me if I was pregnant and took me word for it when I said I wasn't.
@@Framokamc I'm fairly certain this is mostly a US thing. Though I could be wrong. It bugged me when I was younger. But, the more I think in it given the piss poor state of access to good sex education, healthcare in general, and birth control hereabouts I honestly just roll with it now. Especially if I wind up needing to see a doc who doesn't know me personally. I figure they just want to be sure if I am in that situation unexpectedly I have a chance to exercise *all* my options and have access to the care I would need. And I'm grateful many of them care that much
@@Framokamc Not sure about everywhere but where I am you don't really get a pregnancy test that often. But you are asked often multiple times if it's possible that you are pregnant when in the hospital. I'm pretty sure you get tested when saying yes. Never did that though as there wasn't ever a possibility.
I would assume that saying you're a virgin should be enough to rule out pregnancy but then again there have been women who didn't understand what sex was and weren't virgins despite thinking they were, so I guess it make sense for the doctor not to trust it.
I only knew I was pregnant for 2 weeks. I was in active addiction at the time. When I found out I went to treatment while in treatment I gave birth to my baby boy. ❤️ 2 weeks wasn't enough time to wrap my mind around the idea of having a baby. He's the biggest blessing I could have ever received. God was watching over him because thankfully there is no side effects from my drug use.
As someone whose baby had trouble breathing and I didn't get told anything for almost 2 hours after his birth - it is definitely terrifying! I live in a bilingual province and was at the French hospital. I don't speak French but my husband does so he was sitting next to me in the OR and sweating profusely while telling me everything was okay listening to the doctors working on him.
Ontario? I'm from Ontario too (Ottawa). 🇨🇦
@@hollyhayes9640 New Brunswick
@@Shridra I didn't know they spoke French anywhere other than Ontario or Quebec. I assumed it was only mandatory to teach in schools here because we were next to Quebec.
@@hollyhayes9640 New Brunswick is actually the only officially bilingual province in the country. Quebec is mostly French, and Ontario is mostly English, but they both use a bit of the other language because of, like you said, proximity. Here in NB if you take a drive in the country there are literally an English town, a French town, an English town, a French town (because of it's history. The English were afraid of the Acadians revolting and settled towns between their towns to limit their movement).
I'm not from here originally, hence my lack of French, but my husband is Acadian
@@Shridra ayyy! i’m from NB too! 😌
When my youngest was born silent and dark blue, (triple Nuchal cord) it was the most unreal feeling waiting to know if she was ok. I thought she was dead. I had had 6 miscarriage before her. 7 hours later!! I finally was allowed to fall in love with my beautiful baby girl. She nursed like a pro, latched on quickly. The most prized miracle God has given me.
Who are these people who are not running pregnancy tests on female patients getting x-rays?
Seems like there’s always a warning on the wall saying “if you may be or think you are pregnant, you are required to tell us before getting X-ray done, and if you don’t it’s not our responsibility if your baby grows a third arm.”
As an x-ray tech, I can say in the department or in our rooms that we definitely have signs that say "if you think you may be pregnant then xyz" but unfortunately not all docs are great about ordering--- especially in the case of exams that actually put us into where we would be imaging near a female patient's abdomen. Working nights, a lot of the exams I do are in the ER and most of those if possible are done in the patient's room itself. If a person is reproductive age (for the most part 50 or under), I make sure I put a lead apron on them, two if I know they're pregnant, but sometimes say I'm picturing the abdomen in specific I have to go out and ask the doc if they know something about how this patient could or could not be pregnant in advance. So it doesn't necessarily surprise me that a doc wouldn't order a pregnancy test on a woman for an ankle x-ray.
I think between the irregular periods and also not having sex at the time the natural answer to "is there any chance you are pregnant?" would be "no". I had an X-Ray at the ER last week because of an issue with my knee and they didn't draw blood for a pregnancy test and took my 'no' as permission to X-ray, given that i wasn't at any risk.
@@possump8972 Even when I answer no to the question any chance you could be pregnant, they ALWAYS give me a test anyway. I haven't had sex in 7 years, I'm on 2 forms of birth control, and I'm a lesbian. Still get tested every time I go to the emergency room.
My doctor held my son up and we locked eye's for about 30 seconds and then he reached for me and cried. It was so sweet.
MDJ: yeah I drove myself to the hospital in active labor
Kayla: hold my beer through this tornado real quick 🍺
My fiancé is an EMT working his way through nursing school and on our first date his opening statement was “so I delivered a baby the other day”. The hospital he was stationed at didn’t have labor section and they were transferring a mom who ended up giving birth in his truck. Thankful no tornados lol. Mom and baby were safe.
Sounds like you have a good partner there if you want to deliver a baby yourself someday. ;)
I'm surprised she didn't have to get a pregnancy test before they'd put a cast on her leg. I have never been with someone who has the equipment to get me pregnant and they give me a pregnancy test for basically everything
I agree, i imagine an x-ray was done first thing.... How did they not ask "when was your last period", "any chance of pregnancy", or just flat out threw her a cup....
Exactly! A few year's ago i was in the hospital for a blood infection but before they found out where the infection was, they wanted to x-ray my lungs to see if i had pneumonia, i literally asked the nurse for a pad 10 minutes before and they still gave me the cup because they needed to be sure before x -ray. As sick as i was i still laughed and told them i literally just started that morning and they said they have to have a negative test before they take me up to x-ray even though it's very unlikely that i am.
Same. I once got exasperated with a doctor who just would not let up and finally just about yelled at the doctor “BECAUSE I DON’T DO DICK!”
Yes!! I couldn’t get a chest X-ray without a pregnancy test. Then had one and found out I was pregnant.
I get a pregnancy test anytime I'm in the ER and receive any kind of treatment. They definitely tend to do it to err on the side of caution especially if they're wanting to do any radiography.
I can attest to being so concerned with my first. I was always just under the assumption they came out crying… He didnt and I had a c-section…. I was freaking out on the table. But I had an amazing OB and he literally walked me through every step. I had him for all 3 babies and he was legitimately the best doctor Ive ever had! He even made jokes while being elbow deep in my guts 🤣🤣🤣
Baby is 14 years old today. I wonder how she is doing.
Are there jokes about her being "born of thunder and lightning"? Granting her the ability to overcome any obstacle.
Daenerys Stormborn, the First of Her Name…
My first baby came out "still and quiet" looking around with big brown eyes so curiously. She was breathing but only started crying after like a minute. My second came out SCREAMING though. The funny thing is, their personalities are the opposite now. My first is super intense and emotional, and my second is the most chill baby ever
I came out dead
I couldn't help but think that your first took the world in, made a judgement, and just went ape wild and that your second went "AAAAAAA!" then, "Whew. Okay. We're good now. Hi."
Thanks for sharing, it made me smile.
@@pamspray5254 lmao I love this!😂
Both me and my sister came out quiet! Apparently we were both just at peace with the world at birth lol neither of us stayed that way though
Mine didn't scream or cry until after having all those tests done
If the closest hospital is 2 hours away why wouldn’t the clinic have an ultrasound machine??
Finances :/
Rural areas don’t have access to a lot of things.
Extremely small town clinics like that don't have the funding. They may had one and it broke.
It was almost 15 years ago and I'm assuming in a fairly rural location but still it seems like they should have one or at least be able to borrow one from an OB or PCP office.
Rural areas are severely underserved
My brother in law used to be an EMT for around 10 years. He always wanted to have a birth in the ambulance since in the EMT world it is like an accolade to experience this wonder.
He came close to it twice, but they 'sadly' (to him) always arrived early enough at the hospital.
:D
My son didn’t cry at all when he was born, there was no panic. He was silent just staring at me 🥰
"Are they just gonna give away the whole episode right outta the gate?!"
Well, this is "I Didn't Know I Was Pregnant," and the episode is titled "Baby in a Tornado." I'd say it was already given away.
To add to what MDJ said, if you're having sex with someone who can get you pregnant and anything changes, or you start showing flu like symptoms, take a test, if that test comes back negative, and you're not better in 7-10 days go to the dr. I was told I would have an incredibly difficult time conceiving a child on my own, and that I had literally no chance of carrying past 5 weeks on my own due to physical and hormonal issues, I was on the pill, taking it at 10 am every day, (I'm good about pills and I had an alarm, I legit didn't miss my pills) I had the flu, took a test a week on because it was just sitting around collecting dust, it was negative, my mil made me take another one, also negative, went to the dr 2 weeks into all this, she took a blood test and told me I was roughly 5 weeks along and to go see an obgyn, lots of pills, supplements, and very close monitoring later, I have a baby boy who will be 4 in less than a month....
Congratulations :)
Wow
Very true. Go to a doctor if feeling sick for longer then normal. I too took a few pregnancy test and (probably due to user error) they were negative. But I wasn't able to keep any food down for WEEKS. Finally took a blood test and I was roughly 6 weeks pregnant. I was 17 at the time and hearing that news..all alone at the doctor office, I'll never forget it
@@mermaidismyname yeah, it's not something most people need to fear, but it is something to be aware of, it can happen, nothing except abstinence is 100% 🤷♀️ I just figure he was REALLY supposed to be here for some reason, and I couldn't imagine my life without him ❤
@@KezanzatheGreat thank you ❤❤
as someone who just had a baby and knew i was pregnant from very early on, i can’t even begin to imagine trying to wrap your head around it not knowing until right before delivery. i had like 34 weeks of knowing i was pregnant and still went through a good 24-48hrs of shock after birth of everything being super surreal.
Did you get a positive test? I’m going through this right now. I have a 7 month old and believe I’m 33 weeks. But because you have to have a positive pregnancy test the doctors ruled pregnancy out.
14:09 Yes. This adds stress for no reason..I was so scared when I had my daughter because she didn't cry or scream right away, I held my breathe for what felt like forever. A minute or so later she was screaming and crying and perfectly healthy.
My son was delivered via emergency c section prematurely. Not being able to see what was happening (bc of the sheet) and not hearing him cry immediately was the most terrifying time of my life. It was probably just seconds but it felt like an eternity until my OB said “it’s a boy, he’s ok…”and he was rushed off to NICU.
I really wish I had known sometimes babies don’t immediately scream.
i would have simply moved the sheet. i'm not a squeamish person so if i get a c-section i'm saying to hell with the sheet and watching the whole thing lmao i wanna see what my organs look like 😂
@@saintnicole3209 I have heard from husband's sometimes they can see it from the reflection in the light. But there is a reason for the sheet in terms of identifying sterile field area. So if you are pregnant and choose an on talk to them about this because they may be able to semi accommodate, usually a half height sheet and show you bub immediately before bub goes over to the warm resus trolley for dressing and Weight etc
@@foggylog19 These days you can also request immediate skin-to-skin instead, so long as the baby is healthy. It is usually not necessary to immediately whisk the baby away.
As an EMT we ALL should know how to deliver a “normal full term” baby. And NO you never tell your patient it’s your first time doing anything! Most of us actually want to get deliveries under our belt, the only annoying part is you now have to do two reports because you now have two patients haha.
Ps the ER didn’t do a pregnancy test before her x-rays or giving her narcotics?
I'm an EMT and I have no idea how to deliver a baby.
I was thought about it in theory during school, but I have no clue.
Honestly terryfied of my first delivery and hopefully it'll be with someone who has a few deliveries under their belt
@@maximellow5745 I’m sorry you didn’t learn that in your program, just remember people have been giving birth alone for thousands of years before “doctors” existed. If there is no complication, just be encouraging and confident, Mother Nature knows what she’s doing
@@akossarfo-kantanka7231 But there can be complications. Lots of complications. Women and babies die in childbirth to this day, even with the best of care. I so dislike comments like yours which imply childbirth is just so easy and safe. It isn't.
@@ssansu most of the time, it's fine, and any issue can wait until mom and baby reach the hospital. Even something like hemorrhage can wait a little for a transfusion.
@@ssansu child birth is the number one killer of woman worldwide. Which is why I said in quotation “normal full term” that is not including multiple complications that can happen when someone had prenatal care or none. EMT means emergency medicine, you do the best you can with your training. I’ve watched my parents treat 2nd/3rd degree burns on a toddler in my fathers village in Ghana 20 years ago as RNs with Just aloe gaze and bottled water. You do the best with what you know, and what you have. Just like mama doctor Jones said.
When the doctor put the stethoscope on her and just yelled “PUT THIS ON!” I bursted out laughing oh my god
the “i didn’t know I was pregnant” videos all make me cry my eyes out 😂 it’s so amazing to see how even though women don’t know they’re pregnant they fall in love with their baby immediately
I love that MDJ has been delivering babies for so many years and still has that adorable reaction to pictures of the baby. She must really love what she does.
Wow I feel like a pregnancy test is one of the FIRST THINGS we do in ER whenever a woman of reproductive age comes in! Crazy that this was missed for so long, a learning point about how important a test is! Thanks Mama Doctor Jones 😊❤️
You're so right. I'm a patient with a rare vascular condition & am currently a below knee amputee who has had countless procedures and surgeries. Before every procedure or anytime I've gone into the ER they pregnancy test, even though I'm never, ever having kids of my own!
maybe australia is different but i've never had a pregnancy test done at the dr or the er except before i had my implanon inserted
before xrays they just ask if there's any chance im pregnant, i say no and they just ok
@@Amped4Life Exactly how it should be! Yes, things like radiation and certain medications can be risky to the baby if you're pregnant. But we also have to remember that the body's physiology changes dramatically in pregnancy. Without accounting for these things, you can't possibly treat a patient properly! Although I'm on the elderly care ward atm so pregnancy tests are a... little less common in this group 🤣
Yeah, I didn't get away from pregnancy tests until after my hysterectomy!
Um, WHY did that "doctor" force her to travel 2 hours during a storm; _while_ in active labour? Surely she could have stayed right there, all safe inside, at the clinique. That doctor is a monster! Heck, EMT's have more compassion. I'd ask them or the nurses to deliver my baby, instead of that quack.🤬
This kid came into the world in possibly one of the most dramatic ways possible!! Talk about coming in with a bang!
I absolutely love MDJ. I've always been incredibly terrified of all things related to women's health, and ever going to see a doctor for it. But watching MDJ I've gotten comfortable with the idea of all of it, and actually want to now make an appointment for the first time. Thank you for what you do!
When my youngest daughter was born (she’s 2 months now) she didn’t cry. At all. Ever. She needed a little bit of oxygen but she was otherwise fine. She didn’t cry for the first time until she was like 6 weeks old. She made grunts, she made other sounds, but she didn’t cry. She still doesn’t cry a lot - the only things that make her cry are not being breastfed in a timely manner (at 6 weeks I had a checkup with OB where I wasn’t allowed to bring her, and left a bottle with my husband - she wouldn’t accept it), being in pain (vaccines), or being in her car seat without her big sister sitting next to her.
The big sister needed in the car is actually the cutest thing
My son didn't cry either at first. They rubbed his back a few times and then he made a few small noises. But the nurses said no worries they don't need to scream and he's clearly breathing. Once again Hollywood steers us wrong
.Pmm
My friend’s sister gave birth a couple weeks ago and she didn’t know she was pregnant! I’ve watched this show for years and never thought I’d know someone who went through this.
@Sarah Marie sex ed is still thing right?
I just found out I’m expecting at 7 weeks and I felt awful knowing I had been drinking at a party two weeks prior. I can’t imagine the guilt of going the 9 months without knowing and caring for them. I’m glad mum and baby came out okay because watching the reenactment gave me anxiety.
Congratulations! Same thing happened to me, and my kid is 4 and just fine. It’ll probably be ok, apparently the placenta isn’t formed so early and folic acid is more important. Luckily a lot of foods are enriched with folic acid so if you’re eating a varied diet it’s probably fine.
My first pregnancy I was having severe joint pain even before I knew I was pregnant. They did an X-ray on my lower back, hips and knees. Never gave me a pregnancy test. Nurse asked me, “is there a possibility you’re pregnant?” I answered, “no” (I was on the pill) and they took my word for it. Found out I was pregnant less than a week later.
Never tell a patient you’ve never done something. In nursing labs we did things on mannequins, that counts as experience!
This is excellent advise to any medical professional and I hope more doctors learn this. Honestly I almost never have nurses or EMT's say that to me - only once I can think of, and they were in training (with my permission and with someone with experience there) and in a calm and controlled setting. It has been doctors for me, who say this. One of the most terrifying experiences of my life was being rushed to ICU at 22 years old due to what we later discovered (but at the time had no idea what was going on) were life threatening complications due to my recently diagnosed genetic disease. No one would tell me what was going on, the ER doctor had been awful and was convinced I was just having a panic attack and had refused to help me for over 30 minutes, interrupted me any time I tried to ask a question or answer in more than yes or no, and got up and left when I started crying. Someone reported him and I was transferred (apparently he believed my BP of 190/140 and HR of 200 was because I was just anxious). I was transferred rapidly to ICU where none of the nurses could explain what was happening and one said they "didn't know if the doctor would show up to talk to me tonight because he's kind of a jerk". I had never even been admitted before, no one was explaining anything, and I was freaking out. I really just needed someone to calmly explain what was going on and reassure me. My roommate and boyfriend had been ordered out of the room when I was moved to ICU. Instead, the first thing the doctor said when he walked in a few hours later was "well I've reviewed your chart and, I'll be honest, I have never heard of your genetic disease and I have never seen and have no idea what some of these crazy labs your specialists have ordered are." (Referring to specialized blood labs sent to Mayo etc) He basically said we can keep you stable here but that he had no idea what was going on with me, and then he proceeded to ask me multiple times why I didn't go to the research University (answer: it was 40 minutes away and I had been mistreated there twice before I was accurately diagnosed, and this hospital had seen me multiple times for routine care and surgery, was a Trauma III, and was less than 5 minutes away). NOT comforting or reassuring whatsoever and quite frankly that entire hospital stay from ER to discharge, with a few exceptions, was a mess and left me with actual medical PTSD.
I didn't mean to ramble but I genuinely believe, even given the terrifying circumstances, that I might not have mPTSD or at least not as severe a case and lasting fear of going to the hospital, if the doctors who saw me would have been more reassuring and thought more about what they said. I don't need them to lie and say I'll be fine and they know what to do - I know I have multiple rare and little understood conditions; I know I have some very serious, potentially life threatening acute events as a result. I am not blind to reality. But I would at least appreciate it if they'd open with "we are doing everything we can to help you and we are confident we can keep you stable, while we speak to your specialists" rather than "I have no idea what is wrong with you and have never heard of your disease". The message and amount of fear and panic it leaves the patient with is massive and I was just so scared and felt very alone and confused, and that has had lasting implications for my willingness to seek help at ER when needed.
@@ZebraGirl97 I agree with your advice about a better way to approach it. Unfortunately there are several clinicians like this but hopefully they are being weeded out with age. I’m sorry you went through that!
@@ZebraGirl97 I am really sorry you went through all of that. I hope your fear would shrink and that whenever you receive treatment it would be much better and make it easier for you the next time you need care.
It’s not actually that common, in 20+yrs my Dad the EMT has delivered 3 babies in the back of an ambulance in a big metro city. He’s pretty calm and charismatic so he probably never told the first mom he hadn’t done it before, but would have after and laughed.
How can you practice delivering a baby on a life sized doll.
"I feel like most people just look at the ER from their car and they have a pregnancy test run on them" 🤣🤣 haha right?
I still remember my body's first push with my son 20 years ago. I also remember the nurse giggle and say I just checked you a few minutes ago. Your not dilated. Try not to push yet...
I looked at her like what??!! I didn't do it my body did! When she looked I was crowning. She ran from the room to get more nurses and Dr.s but I caught my son and was holding him when they all came back moments later. It all happened VERY fast
My period this month was weird and I’ve been feeling a bit off and I can hear MDJ in the back of my head saying to just take a test to be sure whenever I’m like “no it’s fine I’m sure that was my period”
Thank you for making this a more normal thing, I will be buying one tonight and taking it first thing tomorrow morning
Do they give tornados names in the states? Like scientists do for hurricanes and storms? Cause if so, I would definitely have named the baby after the tornado she was born in - would be such a rad origin story for her
No, unfortunately we do not name the 'nados lol
I’ve never heard of that, but it might be because there are so many little tornadoes.
no, we get literally thousands of tornadoes a year, most of them are tiny little EF0-EF1s that barely register. the strongest one i've ever been in was an EF4 and i had to shelter in a hospital hallway, the lights went out and when i came outside there was a chunk of somebody's roof on my car and another car upside-down in the power lines.
Hurricanes are named because they’re chunky bois, probably effecting multiple states, who are easier to track if they have a name. But dang, the urge to name her something weather related would be SO STRONG.
If it's large and destructive enough to remember, we usually refer to it by the major city or town it affected or the date on which it occurred (e.g. El Reno, May 3rd, etc.)
My third child at birth, had a huge yawn, and fell asleep! I was all prepared to nurse and he was just cuddled up and sleeping. Big thank you to the nurses that just let me sleep with him on my breast.
Did you have an epidural?
@@mermaidflows4391 No, a totally natural birth.
When my sister and I were born neither of us cried! Apparently we were at peace with the world straight outta the womb
@@alystyn aww, I guess he was just sleepy from the journey. I was just curious because I've heard that some epidural babies have a hard time nursing right away.
I'm so so glad I found you on UA-cam! I watched your videos when they'd come up (randomly) on Facebook but then could never find them again; then randomly today, I found your videos here on UA-cam so I can catch up and keep up with your videos now! You have no idea how happy I am, so glad to be here! 🙌
So thankful for you educating people about how it's generally better to not cut the cord right away and to do skin to skin... that moment to let mommy and baby calm and connect is so precious and brings so much peace! The blood remaining in the cord is good for the baby to receive first too.
I recently went three months without a period. No possibility of pregnancy (not sexually active, not in a relationship with someone who has the ability) it was stress. Chronic stress from living in a home with someone who was very emotionally and mentally abusive. I move out (well, got kicked out but still) and after living there for a month, got hit with a period.
oh :( i hope you’re doing well :)
My period would skip for MONTHS while I was in college. But the moment there was holidays, summer vacation, a long 3-4 day weekend, or even completing a big assignment that was stressing me, BOOM! It started!... with a vengeance! And when I graduated and got home, my period went back to being regular. Stress does a number on the body.
Also, I hope you're doing better! That sounds terrible!
Glad you are doing better now!
Stress can cause your period to stop. It happened to me more than once when I was menstruating. I’m 53 now, so haven’t had a period in several years.
for me i’ve had my period go away for months and i learned it was from me loosing too much weight and/or extreme stress.
also i’m glad you are out of that situation and i hope things are going better for you
"Don't push!" I've heard that one before. My first pregnancy, 6hrs since induction began, nurse tells me to start pushing. I pushed twice and she yelled "stop pushing!!". My daughter was ready to pop out and the dr wasn't at all ready, let alone in the room. I'm 17yo, laying trying to breathe through the urge to push... Haha Haha, like that was possible! The dr barely got in room, I pushed once, and there she was. That's how you get a 3rd degree tear.
I was 4 days late for my period and had flu symptoms for about a week then when I was at work I had the tiniest bit of spotting it was like someone got a red pen and drew 3 dots. Decided when I got home to do a test and both tests came up positive in seconds. I now have a 8 month old son 💙
"if you even look at the ER you get a pregnancy test" 😂😂😂 I DIED. This is so true!
I literally had a hysterectomy at 28 and still had to get a pregnancy test...I was like..."I LITERALLY CANT GET PREGNANT, WHAT ARE YOU DOING" 😂😂😂😂
“We do what we can, with the information we have at the time” I should get that tattoos on me for my anxiety
Yes mdj should make merch with that phrase!
dr jones: “much better than that other time of the month”
me who just got my first period: *felt that*
Congratulations!
Congratulations. I hope it wasn't traumatic for u.
its not like a congrats its more like a curse
congrats! take it easy, eat chocolate and take iron supplements! i remember when I got my first period and how scared I was... wish I had MDJ when I was twelve. :-)
Congratulations on becoming a woman :)
Love your videos so much! Binging these while studying for my semester exams :D
I'm shocked that there's that many ppl who didn't know they were pregnant enough to make a series it's mind-blowing!🤯 I've had 3 & there was NO hiding my big old preggo belly.
Every time you say “we do the best with the information we are given” I get chills. Such important advice for not only our pregnancy, but our lives. Thank you Mama Doctor Jones!
I’ve gone for years and years with more than three months between periods and every time I have attempted to address it with doctors, they tell me to just lose weight. I just stopped trying eventually. I haven’t had a pap in a few years either because I was tired of being humiliated. Hearing you say what you did in this video makes me so angry. Not at you, but at a system that has failed me over and over. I can’t push back because I can’t afford to. I have insurance but the deductible is so high it’s pointless unless it’s an emergency.
The period investigations do have to be done by a doctor unfortunately, but the pap smears can be done by your local public health department, Planned Parenthood, sexual health clinic, STI clinic... Most of them will do them at very low cost or free as well.
I think what you want is to get tested for PCOS, and also possibly hypothyroidism. In either case the weight is actually more like a symptom than the cause. There are possibly other reasons but those are the two I know of
@@mermaidismyname I have known since I was 18 that I probably have PCOS, to the point that my doctors just assume it, but I have never been to an endocrinologist because I can’t afford it. It’s not exactly part of my annual exam which is the only appointment I don’t have to pay for. I also don’t talk about this much because it’s very depressing and I have panic attacks about it.
Unfortunately we don’t live in a country where everyone has access to adequate medical care.
I’m editing to clarify that I have TRIED to get referrals to an endocrinologist etc. but I am always dismissed because I’m not “trying to conceive.” Apparently, if you aren’t currently using your uterus for making babies, it doesn’t matter if your body if functioning properly. I’m continuously just told to lose weight and my symptoms will improve but I have trouble losing weight BECAUSE of the PCOS. It’s probably part of why I became overweight in the first place since it started when I hit puberty even though I was not eating more than my thinner friends. People don’t believe that though and want to blame you. When I was 19, I literally had an OBGYN tell me I, “should probably try to eat less ice cream,” while he was down there swabbing.
@@mags9024 ugh I know, I am 25 and have never been to a gynecologist and the last time I was at an endocrinologist I was 15 and was essentially told that I would grow out of it - haven't grown out of it.
I'm guessing that probably this is a situation where self medicating with birth control is warranted though that does make me nervous and uncertain which is why I haven't done it yet
And yeah my insurance is a joke and I am spending way too much money on healthcare but my philosophy is kind of it's better to deal with it sooner, than to wait for a more expensive complication down the line
But tbh my advice would be to find different doctors if they are treating you that shitty. Seeing videos from people like mama doctor Jones makes me convinced that good doctors do exist, I think we just might to hunt for them a bit which is a pain in the ass. But remember that you are your own best advocate and tbh you are allowed to fire a doctor if they aren't treating you well
So sorry to hear that doctors have bee absolutely horrible to you. That is a rubbish health insurance btw. I guess you are based ib tbe USA?
Maybe you could call OBs and ask if they ever refer to endocrinologists. Or maybe ask a friend to call to ask that and how they deal with people like you. I would call a couple of offices if I were your friends/in the same country. Ask if they insult people they consider fat or if they take their complaints seriously. Anyway best of luck I really hope you get the support you deserve!
2:46 New Advice:
My whole family had gotten the stomach flu, they all got better after a few days (1-3). I was still sick after 5, so I went to my doctor. Turns out I was the one who didn't get the stomach flu, as I was only throwing up (unlike the rest of those who got it), I was pregnant.
I am so glad she had such a great friend, healthy baby, and a loving mom
My sister and I apparently didn't cry right away when we were born, but our dad did note that we each had the best "WTF" face before being cleaned off and handed to the pediatrician (and then started crying).
Hilarious lol.
I think a wtf face after just being popped out into a world is justified XD
I am dying to know if anyone has taken a pregnancy test after watching one of this videos and found out about a very late pregnancy... A "Almost made it to I didn't know I was pregnant " episode sounds freaking cool and educational to me 😅
Hahsha
I did.. I'm second trimester
If I were in a clinic and the weather was godawful like that and they said the nearest hospital was 2 hours away, I'd say, "Nuh-uh! I'm safe in here; I could die out there. I'm staying in. I'm gonna have this baby. If you want to help, you are welcome to!"
I love that you mention talking to your doctor or advanced practice provider. As an NP student, it is nice to see NPs/PAs included.
Me, a pregnant person with indigestion eating dairy products as I watch: Dammit.
😭
Me too 😅 but it's one of the only things that taste consistently good throughout my pregnancy so... 😭
Lol same. Somehow I think I've had more dairy during my pregnancy than any other time in my life. But weirdly I think my heartburn is worse on an empty stomach than a stomach full of milk!
My only pregnancy craving was milk, I drank around 4 liters of it in a week. For some people milk produxts actually can help with reflux. So you should experience it for yourself what helps and what doesn't.
@@acupiano Me too! I've had reflux problems a few years ago before pregnancy due to stomach ulcers and what helps it now is completely different. A full stomach always seems to be to be more preventative which was definitely not my experience before!
"I feel like people just look at the ER and have a pregnancy test run on them"... no truer words have been spoken, lol
It's much different here in Austria. I've been to the ER more than once. Not once did they run a pregnancy test. Usually, telling them you're on the pill is enough. I am 42 now and haven't taken a pregnancy test once.
So happy I found you. Not only do I learn things I didn’t know but I love your personality. You seem like a great person and wonderful doctor 😊
I gotta love mum in this video
She seems like such a calm and sweet person
Her: "I'm in pain!"
Doctor: "put these on!!"
MDJ and me: what the?
Everyone keeps telling me to tell you my story.
I can't go on the show TLC made lol but I didn't know I was pregnant until I was 35 weeks pregnant. I'm now 39+4 and due on the 29th
I had my daughter at 21 almost 22 years old. I'm so glad I did. She's almost 11 years old, and I can keep up with her, physically, mentally, etc.
When I go to see any type of MD. They always ask if you think if you are pregnant. My answer, if you look at my paperwork, I have had a full hysterectomy. I had one MD ask me three times. My response, "Are you listening to the words coming out of my mouth?"
Lady: The baby is coming!
EMT: Could you try to hold it in?
I'm amazed the doctor's office didn't do anything when she went in for her broken leg! At my small local clinic, they ask about my last cycle every time I go in no matter what I'm going in for.
Mine too! I just tell them my last period was in March of 2002.
That usually convinces 'em 😁
I went to the doctor a few years ago for an infected bug bite, all the doc wanted to know was about my female health…unless there’s an antibiotic that is contraindicated for pregnancy, my uterus’s workings has nothing to with the complaint! It had been more than a year since anyone could’ve gotten me pregnant too.
@@texadianstitcher There's actually several antibiotics contraindicated in pregnancy - including ones that would typically be used for infections caused by bug bites.
@@Lakadaisy_and_Foghorn but if one hasn't been in a romantic relationship for over a year, unless there's an immaculate conception...pretty sure there's no pregnancy contradiction.
And why would the doc ask more about the female health vs the bug bite? I go in for a sinus infection and they ask about the female health, infected bug bite ask about female health...this isn't an obgyn doc, why are they so laser focused on my female plumbing?
@@texadianstitcher I think this is very much a US thing. I would also be annoyed about constantly being asked if I could be pregnant, but I think they're just trying to make sure they don't hurt any potential babies by giving drugs that could harm an unborn child.
This show with ur reactions is just so good. I think this is my third time watching this reaction. I don't typically rewatch content, but this stuff's too good to not watch again when it pops up again.
With my third pregnancy I was totally convinced that I had a flu that never got better! When mom said to me that I was pregnant, I broke down totally and denied it even moore! I was sooo tired from the first two ones, that came the year after another, and still were very small. But she forced me to go to the doctors, and yes - of course she was right! I cried for the rest of the pregnancy, and didn't feel better until some months after the delivery. Now he is 21, and the light of my life, living with a very sweet girl! ❤
Lady: I was worried we were going to make it...Doc: DOESN'T SOUND LIKE IT!
"how are they so calm?" - well, considering the vast majority of these people are telling stories with a happy ending, it's not that hard. At the end of the day, they went from "I might be dying" to "oh, baby 👶🏻💗", and most people are pretty good at seeing the humorous aspects of stressful situations after the fact, as long as things turned out OK.
When talking about storms like tornados there are some people that can and do stay calm. I learned it from my grandparents. Tornados were nothing new and we took shelter till it passed. Nothing ever seemed to shake my grandparents not even when the tornado went directly over the house we were sheltering in and dropped a huge tree on top of it. I distinctly remember walking out with them after it had passed. The first comments: "Do you smell cedar? I smell cedar." (Note it was still dark and raining) A step or two more and we bumped into the branches. My grandpa looked up at it: "Well that's gonna be a mess to get down." This was a tree who's stump I still as an adult couldn't put my arms around (yes the stump is still there 30+ years later). The tornado had snapped it in half, picked it up, and dropped it across the roof of the house. Hardly anything ever seemed to shake my grandparents and I noticed their calm nature tended to keep everyone else calm too so I try to copy that as best as I can.
lol your username 😂
That's honestly for me the reason I don't doubt that the stories in this show are true. For the lay person acting that out, they would have added emotion, because everyone thinks that's what you do. But instead they tell it very calm and straightforward.
I grew up around tornadoes too and I remember the siren going off at 8 am one Saturday morning when I was a teen. I just went back to sleep. To be fair though, my town is surrounded by mountains so it's incredibly unlikely to hit the town unless they came from certain directions
I'm unpacking the home that I've lived in for like 5 months and binging these videos. Thank you.
