What a great Q&A! Tammy, it was so sweet to “see” you talk about Dharma and the impact she had in your life. It’s always a great feeling when you hear people say your baby’s name💖 Danielle gave wonderful advice for other providers👏👏👏 Dharma would be 14 in March and she is STILL touching lives🥰

My dad weighed exactly 12 lbs when he was born. At the time they didn’t let men into the delivery room, story goes that when my Papa (a farmer) came into the room he goes “Damn R’Veda! That’s not a baby, that’s half of Holsteen calf!” My grandmother did not have any more children

I appreciate that your mom kept the part in about the 4th degree tearing, and why it’s important to manage your pushing. Back when I was a first time mom, I had tearing (nothing terrible, but both inside and outside) and I’m confident had I not been such a overly aggressive pusher I wouldn’t have probably torn at all. Even during crowning I was pushing instead of pausing. I feel more women need to hear this!

[@kristinagruzdeva3848]

It would be great to watch a video on this topic

Yer I was the same. Near the end I was just super excited for the baby to be born. The midwife told me to slow down but I ignored them. Kinda wish I'd listened but I only had a 2nd degree tear which healed well.

I was the wierdo where my baby catapulted himself out I didn't push at all the doctor wasn't even able to get gloves on i had no epidural it felt like I got shredded down there 🤣 but had zero tearing nothing 😂 when I asked the doctor if I had torn and he said no i didnt even really believe him cuz how it had felt 😂 was not my first baby thoughso that helped. But I also did not tear with my first and got him out in 15 min with an epidural that worked so good I felt nothing even as he came out and he was a good 7 pounds

[@OverHaluyu]

I tore 2nd degree from 20min of pushing, I was solely following the OBs direction. In those moments you're so scared of anything going wrong so you just follow what they say...

They apply to anything ❤

[@clarissathompson0103]

Ugh yes! I remember when I was miscarrying, close to 12 weeks, I was 20 and so scared and sad and in pain. My OBGYN and the nurse confirmed the miscarriage and left me alone bloody on the table. When I came out they didn't even let reception know I miscarried and they asked when my next appointment for an ultrasound would be and I burst out in tears. I also live in Texas which is why I love MDJ, I wish she was still in Texas because I would move to where she was to have her be my doctor! Now I have a healthy daughter at 27 but man the heartbreak I felt and the lack of concern for me and judgment was awful.

[@cristyskalla7301]

Angel Marsh Congratulations! You should work with pregnant teens to teach them they CAN do a good job as a parent, and be a role model. It is sad that the nurses were not kind to you and they should have tried to be guides for you and instilled confidence in you. Maybe you can be a positive spirit for someone in that position some time. I am sure your son is proud of you!

Wow it’s so sad you were treated badly. Well done for choosing to raise your son!

[@ThatOneLadyOverHere]

Every woman of every age needs good nurses, but especially young women. I was 23 when I had my twins and was so grateful I had a c-section because I had to be in the hospital for a few days, whereas if I had delivered vaginally I probably would have been discharged very quickly. I had support from my mom, mother in law, husband, but I still was so grateful for the information the nurses gave me, all of the help and stuff, it was really useful. I think that any woman that decides to keep her baby deserves respect and as much help as possible, especially if she is going against the odds like you. Also, your only 35, if your son does have kids imagine how much of your life you get to spend with your grandkids! My mom was about 46 when my boys were born, not as young, but still really young especially for a grandma. It's rough, and definitely not how most people do it, but there are a lot of perks to having kids young and getting to enjoy your family.

[@v3ru586]

@@juliee593 every teen should get support, no matter how different they are from "the norm". When I was a teen, practically every adult pressured me to have sex to discover my sexuality, while my boyfriend refused to even discuss contraception. My obgyn wasn't any help either, she deemed the pill "too risky" for me, and I was deemed "too immature" for other contraceptives. Not to mention her attempts to "fix" my sexuality (I'm asexual, which wasn't considered an option back then) I'm so glad I'm not an only child, I might have been a teen mum without my sister's support

[@goddessofmintaka]

This was great to watch! My oldest sister was an L&D nurse for over 10 years before she went into pediatrics. She's told many stories, but one of the best was actually her own. She ended up giving birth on the side of the road 10 minutes from the hospital at like 2:30 am. Her friend, also an L&D nurse (who was at the time waiting for her Certified Nurse Midwife certificate to arrive in the mail), and our mother, who has 12 kids, were there with her. No one wants to have a roadside baby, but if you gotta do it, that's like the best crew to have right there! Lol.

A calm nurse is the best! My first baby was rough and my OB walked in and said “you have my favorite nurse” as we were getting situated. She also said (specifically to my husband who was in IM residency) that “if she says something going down, she’s right and we’re all ready to run with it.” It was so good to know from my OB that our nurse was who she wanted at her babies deliveries. I had an abruption in labor as well as some other complications but our nurse was so calm and protective over both me and my freaking out husband. Literally a great nurse can make all the difference.

One of my neighbours lost her pregnancy quite late. I saw her right after it happened, and didn't know yet, so I thought she'd just given birth. I almost asked her where the baby was, but then I got a bad feeling. I remembered your episode about the TSA being dumb about you transporting your breastmilk, and your discussion about grieving mothers, and I decided it would be better to be safe than sorry. So I didn't say anything to her about it. I'm so glad that I didn't, because my mom told me afterwards that she'd lost the baby. I'm so grateful for your videos, and the compassion they overflow with.

[@nicolemyers4584]

Much respect for what your mom does. My second baby, my water broke at 27 weeks and 4 cm dilated. I was hospitalized on the high risk floor until she was born at 31 weeks. The nurses were the only people I saw every four hours. My third baby was an emergency cerclage at 16 weeks, born at 39 weeks with a brief period of shoulder dystocia during delivery. Much thanks to both of your professions. My kids are doing amazing today.

[@susiessoapstuff1459]

Your mom rocks! I used to be an OB nurse and I was nodding at lots of things she said. And I lost 2 pregnancies. The spontaneous a. was more difficult because of the complete lack of grief care. And the fact that every staff member walked in and asked where my baby was.

And I had one on hand, plus I was planning on drinking the next night, so I figured might as well be safe. Well, I didn't get to drink.

Easily believable! My mum invested in an encyclopedia set shortly after I was born, so I grew up reading about EVERYTHING.

My husband and I have 2 babies!. An 18 month old baby boy and a 13 and a half week old baby girl!. This channel has been a huge help on information. We were very nervous when expecting our first in July 2020 and it meant a lot for you mama Dr Jones to stop and congratulate us in the comments. That's a top class youtuber who dies stop to read the comments. It is true that people are hateful and you must always ignore that. People sometimes have nothing better to do and that's sad. So thank you for you continued content and the details you do give as they are reassuring to many. I have recommended your channel on an app where people ask advice while being pregnant and beyond called glow baby and I have seen others recommend you too. You are making a difference!. It would be lovely to have a nurse like your mom in hospitals. Some nurses have absolutely no bedside manner and all you feel like your doing right after birthing a human is being a problem to them. We need more empathetic nurses and doctors in the world. Having had 2 children my husband and I never knew what we would get nurse wise. Kinda like life's like a box of chocolates, you never know what nurse your gonna get. A few were nice and a few were not and it's horrible to be a patient in that scenario. The doctors too. When we had our second baby in October, a second C-section something went wrong as I could feel the operation 10 minutes in. It got hectic. We remember our baby had to go to scbu ( UK NICU ) for a couple days and I was put in a single room. That night I didn't sleep a wink from all the drugs that had been put in me and not one time did one nurse even put her head in the door to see if I was okay. For about 12-14 hours!. Right after a second C-section that had complications and my husband had had to go home for our son and we didn't have our daughter as she was in scbu. It was pretty disgusting treatment and I was discharged the next day aswell. We do indeed need more nurses like your mom and more doctors like you mama Dr Jones. You make a difference!.

Your mom seems like a delight to have in a delivery situation. it can be such a nerve wrecking intense time and having someone like her as a nurse must make people feel safe and calm 💜

[@alliepaunovich7143]

I was in an antepartum unit for 6 weeks. It takes special nurses to make that process calm. ❤️

Two generations of obstetric care. She's delightful! Thank you for sharing her with us!

[@hayerickson4361]

Thank you to all L & D nurses everywhere! I was hospitalized for two weeks almost three after being diagnosed with PPROM. I ended up giving birth at 32 weeks. My labor didn't go as planned. I had an emergency general c section because my son had cord prolapse and his heart rate dropped to 40. It was scary but my sweet L & D nurse popped in while I was in the post recovery room and said "you did great Mama" which is something I didn't know I needed. My baby boy is now almost 3 months old and is doing so well! I'm forever grateful for the doctors, nurses, and surgery staff and their quickness to get baby out fast.

This was awesome - I really enjoyed watching you two answer questions and talk about your experiences in your fields of work. What a dynamic duo! When the video was done I was disappointed since it seemed so short. You two are great at what you do and how you do it - smart, empathetic, confident, and skilled. I'm hoping there will be another collab between mom and daughter again. All the best to both of you and your family.

I'm so grateful for nurses and doctors who exhibit kindness and compassion for patients. A friend of mine once had a very traumatic loss about 4 months along which ended in her almost dying as well due to severe hemorrhaging. The nurses there gave her such a hard time flip flopping about whether she could take her baby home in order to give him a burial. And then when she was being discharged she had several nurses ask where her baby was which led to her breaking down several times. This happened over a decade ago and she still deals with the effects from it. This was also in the same hospital where she and I were born almost 40 years ago and it's always had a reputation for not the nicest staff. I was once admitted there for a week as a teen, although in a different ward, and witnessed so much abuse by the staff towards the patients. I'll never understand why someone would get into medicine if they don't want to actually help people.

I love this video so much. The relationship you have with your mother is awesome and she seems like a really wonderful woman.

[@Raquel-2302]

Like mother like daughter. Both amazing, loving souls!

[@roxanno1075]

Omgsh! Your chemistry and relationship is so amazing! I love it!! I see how much you each respect the other!

[@jadyswift]

It's really nice how even though you were sad you still wanted your daughter to follow her dreams and move to a different country. For me, that's what being a mom is about. Regardless of how you feel, you trust your child and support them in their life choices. You trust you did your best and they can take care of themselves now!

[@raigenhuss7030]

I love you two so much!! What an amazing relationship to have. That must be so enriching to be able to talk in-depth about your professions and really understand each other!

[@jaime717]

I love your mom! She seems so kind hearted, and anyone would be lucky to have her as their nurse. This video was great!

[@misscarolinasousa]

Your mom is so adorable! I hope we can have her in the channel more times!

[@rondalavon7584]

I love how smiley you are when with your mom. You can tell y’all have a good relationship.

[@blah1234543]

Love this! Your mom is amazing! I really love what she said about you moving away, how she was sad but how important it was for her that you are able to do these things with your life.

[@Bandgazebo]

Some of my favorite memories from my deliveries are the wonderful nurses. I never felt more special and like a queen when they were taking care of me. Your mom is totally right, the nurses that were there to help me go from being scared to getting into the mode of the process...a sacred moment.

[@lynnbrooklyn1332]

You and your mother are adorable. She’s great! Thank you for posting this video! I’d love to see more of her.

I work as a Hospital Chaplain and work on all the family birth units and the NICU. I have worked in many perinatal loss situations and I will say, those babies and families have been my biggest teachers - followed very closely by the incredible nurses, doctors, therapists, and other care team members. Hearing you say this sweet baby's name touched my heart! I have witnessed how powerful the legacy of baby's name can be. Compassionate nurses make the WORLD of difference. As a chaplain, it has been so helpful to hear medically what is physically happening, or what to expect, and be able to "translate" that into what a patient or family could be feeling. The relationship is the most profound and beautiful in my life! I just wanted to write a big THANK YOU - to all the tiny humans you both have helped, delivered, raised, or cared for in your careers and lives. I have always loved your channel and learned so much. I had no idea your mom was one of my favorite people!! I am obsessed with nurses, and of course have respect for physicians as well - but I typically (unfortunately) see them less outside of rounds or team meetings. Thank you both for all your hard work!! I know you don't hear it enough, but families will remember your care forever!

[@tiffanykai]

I LOVED this video!!! I love your relationship with your mama. Such respectable , strong and caring women

[@owietooneowietoall]

omg its so sweet your mom is all up in your comments defending you. thats so supportive

[@kaley4788]

This is so sweet! I love how y’all can compliment each other and have such a great time together! ❤️❤️❤️ your mom is awesome! Oh and btw when I was born I weighed 10.8 lbs…🙈 and it was vaginally….my biological mom had a lot of damage to her nerves, tissue, and muscles around the rectal canal and lost all function for using the bathroom and had a lot of bleeding. (I’m adopted so that’s why I say biological mom)

[@MP_heehee]

Your mom seems amazing. She gives off such a gentle, calm, caring vibe. You're lucky!!

[@NotATurnip]

My daughter was OP and I tried to push her out for 3 hours after being in induced labor for 43 hours. 😭 Ended in a C-section... I'm due with my son in April and hoping I can try a VBAC... Knowing that if he is facing the right way I won't have to push so hard is so encouraging for me. 😂

[@daniellegraham1838]

Your mom reminds me of my mom, who is a recently retired L&D nurse ❤ She and I often watch your videos together or send them to each other. Your mom is the cutest and I love her. 💕

[@MeganOliveri]

Y’all are so fun to watch. What a great mother/daughter relationship! I love how you two are in the same field of work… my mom suggested that I become a teacher like she was and I was just like NOPE, no thank you 😂

[@paulabrown4050]

The story of your mom and the hospital bag nearly made me cry! That's real love.

[@hunnibadger8111]

Thanks for all the work you've done, Mama Doctor Jones' Mama, and thank you for creating such a wonderful human!

[@linkfan160]

It's so wonderful that you chose the same path as your mother and have the opportunity to be able to work with her and learn from her. You two are adorable together!

[@j3nn1987]

This was such a cute video. I just love how supportive Tammy is of you, your channel, and your career. Thanks for getting together and doing this.

[@aliciah.7409]

You guys look and sound so much alike! What a sweet relationship, thank you for all you do!

[@PaullaWells]

So sweet to get to know you even better! Thank you for being so vulnerable!

[@Hair8Metal8Karen]

I love that you are clearly very close and you can definitely see the mutual respect there. I can see such a strong relationship there and it's beautiful.

[@zakcourt]

Mamma Mamma Doctor Jones is stunning! Outside, inside and even just her presence and life herstory!

[@urviarora12]

I haven't seen a mother daughter duo look more alike! We can see what doc would look like when she's older by simply looking at her mom! Both so gorgeous! ❤️

[@LalaRach]

I smiled through this whole video! Thank you for the wholesome content!

[@ArchitectAB]

We want more mama of mama Dr Jones. One video is not enough! The way she speaks is so calm and intelligent. She's wonderful!
