Thank you Jackie! I’m so happy for you too 🥰😘

Ayeee Eloho congratulations on having a healthy beautiful baby! I love Black women supporting Black women. Love y’all both♥️

[@MuseMoriah]

This is why we need black women in these fields. And there needs to be more research done on black women and black bodies and general, these things happen too often and the fact that we are constantly shrugged off is infuriating. Thank God you and your baby are here, congratulations on motherhood 💗💗💗

[@se2664]

Yes I agree! But you have to think about the amount of debt that some of us don’t want to burden. And also not having a good balance between working full time and going to school with no help. And depending on your personality not everyone has the mental capacity to deal with patients problems. The work life balance is limited in healthcare as well otherwise there wouldn’t be all these nursing strikes. You’re expected to work on holidays unless you request pto that may get denied based on seniority. Plus, no nail polish, nails are allowed which can be tough for those of us who like to keep up with beauty. But I still encourage BW to pursue medical if they TRULY care about the wellbeing of patients

[@mbubb4626]

We need good doctors who care about people. I was lucky to have medical people who cared. One Korean and one white. Both are females.

[@sivialove475]

Exactly wth but thank God there’s been a high rise of black nurses in the medical field the past few years.

[@MiVidaBellisima]

For sure! I developed diabetes in pregnancy but I was very strict with my diet and worked out daily, had my perfectly healthy baby natural in 12 hours 3 pushes. You can do this ladies, we gotta take care of ourselves bc the act of giving life can take life too it’s wild

Went in to have my son and he was dead stillborn almost full term they kept sending me home telling me all is fine. Then went in to give birth and it was to late Ladies listen to your body if you feel something is wrong keep on at them. They don’t take black women’s concerns seriously 💔 love and blessings and congratulations on your princess and that you both made it safely ❤️❤️

More people need to sue these hospitals. It is so sad that Black women complain of being in pain when pregnant and the doctors brush it off until it's too late to do something about it. I say chnage didn't start happening for Black people until we made the other sides pockets hurt.

[@Herefortheteaandfood]

I know it wasn’t in your plan I’m so happy everyone made it safe. That’s all I could ask for because I wasn’t conscious during mine. My second pregnancy wasn’t easier. I gave birth in a coma at 26 weeks. When I woke they told me I had the baby and it was a boy. The whole time ultrasound told us it was a girl. I got to meet my baby on the 10th day. They let me change the diaper and It really was a boy! I was just happy everyone was alive and made it. That’s what was most important. He is now turning 7. Nothing but blessings to you and your new family.

It is so beautiful to follow you over the years and to see you as a mother now. I am an FM-OB and I deliver babies for a living, and I can tell you that giving birth can be a very scary life or death situation. Stay blessed and enjoy your new bundle of joy.

[@Adele1024]

I have 3 kids, but my newest baby (who just turned 1 years old) was monitored like crazy because I was 41 so automatically a high risk pregnancy. The pregnancy actually went fairly well, besides the normal aches and pains, but I actually had to be hospitalized again two weeks after giving birth because I had developed postpartum preeclampsia 😭

[@tymala2]

Congratulations on your little one ! I gave birth this year to my 2nd baby girl and yes much easier pregnancy and birth. My first I developed preeclampsia during the labor. I had an emergency C-section after 30+ hrs in labor . My second was a vaginal birth in less than 24 hrs. That pain though is no joke, nothing to be played with!!! 😤 women are truly admirable.

[@iameloho718]

Congratulations to you too mama! We made it out with healthy babies #therealaward 🥹💐

[@nataliea.s.4595]

They need to do more testing and monitoring during pregnancy in addition to checking the baby’s heart beat. Thank God baby and mommy are doing great. Continued blessings 🙏🏾❤️✨

[@elizabethtangata326]

I live in the UK and I had the same issue around 6 months. But with me, the moment I mentioned itching to my white midwife, immediately she said lets do some blood tests, being a black woman in the USA is scary. So when it was confirmed cholestasis of pregnancy, I was in every week having blood done to monitor the situation. It soon cleared and I went the whole 40 weeks and 3 days, but I had to be induced as baby was chilling and we didn't want to take any risks. In the end, I had an emergency c-section. things can change very fast during labour it's scary. You did great, all the best in your mummy journey, babies grow too fast and before you know it, you will want another one so bad, and be willing to chance it even if you know the risks.

Congratulations 🎉🎊 on the birth of your daughter! What a beautiful and wonderful story. I am a single Mom of one who is now 21 and I knew the moment he came out that was it for me. I am blessed to have him and I thank God for him - but yeah, I am part of the one and done crew! 😂 I know what I can handle and take and that is just that. I was induced as well, but it was only a week prior to his original due date. My ob/gyn’s were not BW and I thought 💭 they were great until my birth! Let’s just say it didn’t go as well as it could have - but to God be all the Glory that we both made it through safe and sound. We need more BW in medicine. #LOVEANDLIGHT

[@nikkijeans10]

I went through that itching with my son and I was told it was eczema, I was given prednisone pills and a cream called triamcinolone Acetonide it helped with the itching but caused my skin to thin so came the stretch marks deep ones deep thick purple ones then I was diagnosed with gestational diabetes so that was that a high risk pregnancy he weighted 8lbs he's healthy.

Wow wow Congrats Eloho, you are beaming 💕 I feel like my story is very similar tbh. I was soooooo itchy around 7 months. Like I would be tossing and turning all night. It was so miserable I would cry. I looked it up, got blood work at a hospital instead of my ob & all they did was give me a bunch of pills. I looked up all those pills half of them said to not take while pregnant… & one was for anxiety. Didn’t take not one of them. I really think I had what you mentioned but I figured if it didn’t come up in my blood work I was fine. But I wish I advocated for myself. Cause my baby came 3 weeks early. He was super healthy & a great weight. So no issues there but I did have to be induced by a pill. It was such a bad experience for me. Mind you I had to get my epidural while I had that wire with the saline you mentioned, inside me. I forced them to take it out. Cause how u telling me to stay still but I got contractions and I’m sitting on a wire… so grateful me and my baby were and are safe and happy. Cause girl it was traumatizing… very warming to see the similarities in our story made me not feel so alone.

I had an orgasmic birth, both times were great experiences. I enjoyed them. I have a video on my channel. They missed the mark hunny. It’s not ok for you to be itching. It’s a sign that something is wrong. I’m sorry you endured that. This is what we mean when they don’t listen to black women. The medical system is flawed. Glad you had a great induction because many people don’t. Traumatic birth experiences follow a lot of women for the rest of their lives and subsequent births. It’s not about winning any awards, it’s about coming out as unscathed mentally, emotionally and physically as possible. Those interventions can cause some of the issues we see in birth. Babies are supposed to turn. A shoulder dystocia can prompt internal manual manipulation. You did that though. Happy postpartum. Signed- A Midwife
