[@shahanaray9918]

Thank you for sharing so much wonderful information!! I would love to hear you guys talk through your birth plan and why you chose what you did in that plan!

[@zandiletshabalala8223]

This was so helpful 😊 Thank you so much.

Thank you! I’m writing up my birth preferences and I want to make it as clear and simple as possible for the medical staff as I know birth is not something you can control.

Can you make a video on umbilical vein varix? And mild cardiomegaly? Please

[@maimunamohamed1479]

Hi. I would like to ask if you can do a video on best birth control during breastfeeding. A lot of mums like me suffer when we do take our pills it rapidly decreases breastmilk. Thank you

My 10 month old has a umbilical hernia. They’re very common! It’s just funny that it pokes out the more when she cries!

[@slyhead66]

heyy! i know you mean well but pleease don't say pow wow out of respect for indigenous folks! thank you so much

[@jbazile6873]

Oh give me a break. The word was originally used by Native Americans to mean a meeting or council, and it still means a meeting.

[@pinkblossom9856]

They have Pow Wow gatherings in America 🤔 Many Native Americans gather there and talk about it and say Pow wow. I don't understand how this offensive? She's using it in terms of a gathering or a meeting. Not as making fun of Native Americans. I never heard the term Pow Wow being offensive before. Not trying to press any buttons just trying to understand. Could you please explain how this is offensive?

[@l1a1d1y1b1u1g]

@@pinkblossom9856 powwows are gatherings of cultural significance, where practicing culture is a key part of the proceedings. A meeting with a nurse is not that, so it's not accurate and is a mis-use of the word.

I am of Native American Indian decent and I find your concern of the words Pow Wow offensive. Please stop using your words to race bait.
