Hi Mama Doctor Jones

[@m.thompson3919]

Genuine question: If laying on your back during pregnancy could potentially make the mom feel bad, then why are Americans told to give birth on their back? (Honestly, I feel like birth positions through history could be a video all on it's own. I've seen some crazy stuff. 😂).

Hi MDJ ^^. I'm not pregnant, but I have a question. I was feeling light cramps for over than 10 days, at first I thought that I was pregnant bcs I was feeling nauseous and my period didn't come on the day it should come. I was going to buy a pregnancy test, but my period just came yesterday. I have PCOS. I never had cramps for a so long time... I don't know if I should go to my OBGYN to see if everything is okay. Thanks for your videos, they helped me a lot to understand more about a lot of things.

The cord was wrapped around both of my babies necks, not a problem the first time, but it caused a scare the second time. Most terrifying minute of life. My girl was born grayish and not crying, failed her first APGAR reading. However, she perked up and got a great score the second time. She’s 14 now and perfectly healthy! ♥️

This is very encouraging for me. My mother lost a baby when I was 6 (so I remember the events very vividly) due to the cord getting wrapped around his neck. I am now pregnant with my first, and I have actual PTSD symptoms whenever someone warns me about this myth. I had a feeling it was just a myth, but just the mere mentioning of it triggers me😞 I wish people would just mind their own business.

You're a few years off at least from this being relevant, but make sure you know how to protect yourself from unwanted pregnancy and disease well before you ever get in that situation. Also, respect yourself and any potential partner you have. Saying "no" is always okay from either person, and you don't have to say "yes" or say nothing to feel more grown up. Also, definitely get the HPV shot if you can (it can prevent cervical cancer) and check your state laws for how much your doctor has to tell your parents if they're overbearing or you're just a private person.

Related to the seat belt while pregnant: wearing it so the straight part of the belt sits against your hips rather than your abdomen (therefore, if you have a belly, under your belly instead of across it) is actually the proper way for everyone to wear a seat belt at all times. We were taught this in my driver's ed class and shown the crash test videos that show what happens to the body when the belt is over your abdomen. That's how you get things like a lacerated liver or spleen, or rupture internal organs. It's not meant to be worn that way.

[@amagicallaura]

i just looked this up bc i was thinking 'that sounds fake, no one ever told me that' but it's 100% true! the upper part of the seatbelt should sit across your chest/shoulder & the lower part of the seatbelt should sit low on your hips & not across your tummy. tysm for this comment!

I was 38 weeks pregnant with my 3rd and was heading to my doctor appointment with my husband in November when we got into a car accident. My seat belt was below my belly across my legs. I also was sitting incorrectly - crossed legged, only because I needed a hole for my belly to sit in. Everyone I spoke to was so relieved to hear I had the seat belt below my belly. I can't imagine not wearing it that way. The airbag hit my leg and burned off my skin some, and I truly think that if I wasn't sitting that way, my belly would have been hit. Blessing. Baby was born same day, just as a precaution from all the trauma. We all are happy and healthy. No issues at all, thank goodness.

When I was having my c-section with my daughter, I started to feel extremely sick... like the worst possible case of motion sickness imaginable. The anesthesiologist tilted the table maybe 2 inches and it was like instant relief. So I completely agree that it is highly unlikely that someone would stay in a position that was compressing the vena cava long enough to cause the baby any harm.

When my husband and I told my parents I was finally pregnant (years of fertility issues, plus I'm an only child so first, and likely only, grandchild) my husband broke out two mini bottles of champagne. He split one with me and one between my parents. My mother looked at me with such worry and said, "You're pregnant! You shouldn't drink!" To which my dad responded, "Michelle, you were drinking a beer the night we were playing cards and your water broke. I don't think that half a serving of champagne is going to hurt." My mom turned SO Red! (FYI: my daughter was born very healthy, two weeks late, and very angry at being forcibly evicted. It was an emergency c-section.)

My OBGYN back then told me that I shouldn't drink at all, but that she doesn't know of any studies that show that even only a few sips of wine once in a while had negative effects.
