Wow...talk about being tough minded. Most people are not that psychologically tough. I can’t imagine anesthesia residency and babies at home. Mad respect.

[@christavernon4198]

I had my second child 3 months before medical school. I remember doing anatomy flashcards while I breastfed in the middle of the night. It was hard, but women can really do anything.

[@Marilynefc]

This made me cry. 😢❤I want to go to medical school and have kids! If you can do it, I can do it too!

[@thelearningjourney6642]

Im 25 and have applied for medical school. I have 2 kids. This has inspired me to just go for it. Im extremely worried because im a single mom but i have a strong support system. Im going for it and absolutely nothing is going to stop me. Thank you so mudh for this video

[@destinyrichardson251]

I wish you the best of luck, I'm also a single mom pursuing medical school 🤎

Thanks for watching

Thank you for this video !! I just finished middle school about to start highschool, and i also want to become an anesthesiologist. I still want to have a family and not just focus on work but i didnt know what was a good time.

[@merdal9329]

This video really put things into perspective... I've been watching too many tiktok videos of Stay at home moms struggling to raise their kids.. they have no jobs, not going to school, and already fully supported by their husbands......Meanwhile there are people like you who can manage kids AND doing something crazy like going to med school which by itself is already challenging.

[@taylorskyblue9413]

Omg I can't believe you delivered your own baby! That's incredible!!! 😲😲😲

[@cathy9279]

Great job and kudos to u and hubbie for making it all work out! Our kids are 16 and 18 and finally the door opened after 10 years of working thru finances kids mortgage payments not to mention repeating upper level sciences to get the grades I needed and mcat score

[@3anesthesiame40]

Congrats, that's awesome. I really wish you all the best.

[@thecommentmonster]

Thanks for sharing your story! I think one of things that really shone for me in this video, apart from how amazing you are, is how important women’s choice of partner is for how she is able to achieve her goals

[@Miadabratt7]

Thank you for your video. It is something to be thinking about. Happy Mother’s Day as well!

[@ashleymooring9182]

Omg I loved this!! Thank you so much for sharing your story. What a beautiful family

[@Ethanvaladez637]

As we come closer to Mother's day, let us not forgot the strong Mothers for their unbreakable strength to not only pursue accomplishments and dreams, but also take care of their young!! 🎉🎉

[@Ethanvaladez637]

And family overall.

[@1badmamadoc]

So inspiring! I had my first baby as an intern and now gearing up for twins in my CA-2 year. I love to see that you made it work because sometimes it can be such a struggle. Thanks for sharing your story. And yea im probably done after this too! 3 and done lol

[@hailylazore2021]

I am finishing my bachelor degree, about to write mcats and planning to apply for med school the end of this year. I have one son and just found out I'm pregnant. I am not feeling as confident that I will be able to manage with 2 as I was with 1. I don't want to give up but it's overwhelming. At the same time theres nothing else I imagine myself doing career wise. Do you feel that your kids have missed out because of your career? Thank you for sharing. Women need to empower each other to remember thats it's okay to be a mom and have career goals. Theres so much shame around it sometimes. But I also want to be realistic about my kids care. I would choose them over anything if it came to it

[@emanahmed3515]

Wow so grateful for you ❤

[@andrewhunter742]

Wow you delivered the baby by yourself in the car? You really are superwoman👏🏾💯💃🏽

[@3anesthesiame40]

Lol! My husband was around-I couldn’t drive myself! When he ran in to The ER for help she came out while he was gone!

[@Lowkilitt]

Beautiful family!!

[@Ros2283]

Thé little ones; they are so cute!!

[@3anesthesiame40]

Thanks and thanks for watching.

[@RhesusMedicine]

I have a friend expecting a first baby to make an appearance around the same time as they start residency, I can't imagine dealing with both 😂

[@shanelec783]

I know you said you got a lot of help from your partner and mother. Can you just expound on how you went about studying because I can imagine with the help mommy duties were not on pause. Big hail to you btw I cant imagine the amount of hard work and sacrifice required.

[@Destiny_detroitdoc]

Wow...it must have been all that walking during intern year, reason why the second came soo fast 😂 ...your body just worked efficiently!

[@3anesthesiame40]

Lol, must have been! 😅

[@Marilynefc]

I’ve never related to anything more! I’m a 24 nicu nurse. I got married at 20 with my high school sweet heart. I want to go to medical school but idk when I want to have children! And I’m scared of having them late 😊

[@Dashinik123]

I’m a mom and pursuing medicine. My kids are 7 and soon to be two. I’m praying I make it all the way. I start my undergrads spring semester. I’m terrified honestly

[@3anesthesiame40]

Don't worry, it will get better and in a few years you will be proud of yourself

[@Dashinik123]

@@3anesthesiame40 thank you so much. I have a great feeling about this journey. I am soooo proud of your accomplishments. I watch your videos every night to stay motivated. I pray God continues to bless you all tremendously

[@itssavvy2115]

I'm looking at starting med school. I share custody with my son. I have him every other weekend. Worried about if it's going to work out with med school. And if my future residency placements will all work out cause I can't exactly just up and move away.

[@May-zm3ul]

Hope you went for it! Your son will be proud of you. And the years will go by fast!
