I'd kinda like to hear about that lady with genetic chimerism who failed a maternity test for all 3 of her kids but she was in fact their mother. That was interesting. Pretty sad in the middle but things finally worked out.

[@raelonewolf]

I had a doctor once tell me when I was starting a new medication "You can't get pregnant while taking this." I clarified with her what she actually meant, which was that I should take every precaution to not get pregnant while taking it because if I did get pregnant, the fetus could develop very serious side effects. That is a really important thing for medical professionals to keep in mind -- how they word information matters. It might seem obvious to them what they actually mean when they say things like that, but it isn't always obvious to their patients.

[@nowandaround312]

I had a similar experience, except I didn't question what the doctor meant. I wasn't particularly concerned since I wasn't doing anything that could result in pregnancy though. I discovered the misunderstanding when the _pharmacist_ explained it properly.

[@ThexBlackxKitty]

Why do they word it like that? I would totally understand this sentence as "this medication will make you unable to get pregnant". They should say "you mustn't get pregnant" - same number of words, no ambiguity.

[@ellenricks2029]

Gosh, you’d think they’d be trained better to say it correctly. Like... how much harder is it to say “I strongly recommend against you getting pregnant while on this medication”?? Like... that’s just SO much clearer. 🤦🏻‍♀️

@@bajonista I think you meant to reply to OP, but I completely agree. In my case the doctor said, "You won't be able to get pregnant while on this medication." What I heard: "It's birth control in case someone tries to put a baby in me. Bonus!" What she meant: "I assume you will want to get pregnant since you have a uterus even though you've never expressed this to me and it will be dangerous to do that while taking this medication so make sure you don't have unprotected intercourse."

A disability like this can dramatically change how a person lives there life, and what their partner has to contribute. It's hard, especially if the relationship started before the disability. It also doesn't help that our society measures the value of a person based on how much they can contribute. It's something that i face a lot too, since my partner is still with me, and helping me, despite how my disability has changed throughout our relationship.

[@able2Bdifferent]

I was born at 27 weeks and was two pounds at birth I appreciate them showing a preemie story. I have cerebral palsy as a result of a prolapsed cord and prematurity and I would love to see a story where the baby has CP or another long term disability as a result of complications. I often find a lot of the media about preemies is ".....and now they're perfectly healthy, happily ever after, the end!" It makes me feel like those of us with long term disabilities are somehow "failed preemies", when in reality, we're success stories because we survived when it wasn't a sure thing that we would. That being said I also really liked that this episode showcased a disabled mother. Disabled people can be parents!

When I was 14 I was having long, heavy, incredibly painful periods. My doctor sent me to have an ultrasound, and I had an ovarian cyst around the size of a golf ball. We don't know how big it was because when the tech tried to size it, it ruptured. The poor tech turned ghostly pale, then mumbled, "ummmmmm... I'll be right back..." and quietly walked to the door. Once he was out, though, we heard him running for help! It was terrifying at the time, but in retrospect it's hilarious! Turns out I had severe endometriosis. I had surgery to clean up some of the endo lesions, had my son at 20, went into premature ovarian failure at 26, and had a hysterectomy at 28. Worked out beautifully for me. 😄

[@andybee1381]

[@Samanthasnow]

I was an ugly premature baby. My mom’s first words when she saw me was that I looked like ET. I’m a twin and My sister had a congenital heart defect so they didn’t know my mom was pregnant with twins. Because of the way we were situated they could see my sister but only hear my heartbeat since her’s was so low. It wasn’t until 30 minutes before her c-section did they find out there were two of us. I was about half the size of my sister and my arms were locked into strange positions. I always say even in the womb I gave my sister everything. I was so small I easily fit into my dad’s hand and weighed 2lbs 8oz.

[@lilibetp]

That sounds similar to my twin nephews (now 39). Their heartbeats were always in sync, so the doctor had no idea until the night they were born. He did an xray to see if maybe the baby was older, because she was HUGE for 32 weeks. My mom was a nurse and the second the doctor put the xray on the board, Mom started singing, "Do you see what I see?" Took him another minute, then he realized there were two of them.

I was diagnosed with premature ovarian failure last year. After seeing my OBGYN, Endocrinologist, and a fertility specialist, I was told countless times I would not be able to conceive naturally, that I would need to have an egg donor and do IVF. My boss, who was a Urologist that also took interest in hormone therapy, was the only one who said “challenge accepted, I bet we can get you pregnant within the year!” Sure enough, after only 2 rounds of hormones, I am now 38 weeks pregnant and scheduled for a c-section this weekend!!!!!!

My maternal grandparents had been courting for less than a month when my grandfather was in a motorcycle accident that resulted in some pretty severe damage to his right leg. It wasn't amputated, but he had one leg shorter than the other (and the procedure to correct that didn't exist yet) and walked with a cane the rest of his life. My grandmother stuck by him through his long hospital stay and they had five children together, staying deeply in love until they were separated when my grandfather died at 79 years old. :) Another lovely story for all of you of romance persisting through adversity like in this case.

He was a farmer but couldn't do that anymore, so got into jeweler's school and watch repair where he could sit down for work. He made a good living for them until cancer took grandma; they were married about 30 years. Grandpa lived another 30+ years and still seemed "married" to her even though she was gone.

Since I am the oldest, I caused her the least amount of sickness, but she was still under 100lbs when I was born. I ended up with the preemies even though I was overdue because I was so small.

[@cynhanrahan4012]

You almost never make me cry, but this woman's birth story has me in tears even before the end of the video. Thank goodness Miracle Anne is alright. And you're right, she was beautiful even as a neonate. My own daughter born at 31 weeks was bigger at 4 lbs, but really not a pretty baby at all.

When I was in high school I worked at Carter's (the baby clothes store), and the preemie parents/grandparents are by far the most memorable customers. Helping them find preemie onesies or a take-home outfit is so special. (Also there's always preemie stuff on clearance. If you have a preemie and you're on a budget, you can probably find bodysuits for like $3 apiece)

I’m a physical medicine and rehab doctor and am familiar with the care of people recovering after amputations. Without knowing more details of her case, it’s hard to know which medications she was prescribed that are restricted in pregnancy. Even nsaids require caution and are contraindicated in the 3rd trimester. She likely is on a nerve pain medication like gabapentin (which is vaguely “caution advised, not enough evidence). She may be on opioids due to the significant trauma from the car crash and subsequent amputation surgery (risk fetal withdrawal syndrome or respiratory depression during labor). Wish she had bought like 5 drug store pregnancy tests herself. Love your channel, thanks for supporting women’s health and accurately representing the risks of unplanned pregnancy. Would love to do a spinal cord injury and pregnancy video with you! Or a pain and pregnancy video! Thank you for the great content!

How could they?" is super refreshing. I always feel so bad for the women in these episodes and how people (like my mother for example) will mock them going "how the hell didn't they know, haha what idiots!" so I'm glad a professional in the field is going through and explaining why they missed it and showing how these women's situations are always really understandable.

Hi mama doctor Jones, would you be able to do a video on pregnancy and EDS? I’ve heard very mixed information about it, so I was wondering what information you had about it that you would be willing to share! Thank you!

mixed info because there is so little research - I doubt MDJ could produce anything of her usual high quality because of the lack of information. One of the most recent published studies was literally a survey of the experiences of 40 women - which isn't data

[@LisaMAltemose]

I have marfan syndrome, a connective tissue disorder similar to EDS. I know for a marf, risks of pregnancy differ from woman to woman, how much the aorta is compromised, and a few other things. I've not researched EDS enough to know offhand what complications might exists. I've thought about asking her myself to do a video on high risk pregnancies, which is what they would be for us. Best of luck to you!

[@annaleisemichelle4518]

Join some EDS groups on Facebook. There’s some really great info on there! Most of them will have firsthand experience

[@karineal7136]

I’m currently pregnant and have EDS type 3. The big thing my high risk OBGYN talked to me about was that I’m at an increased risk for preterm labor, tearing, excess bleeding after birth, along with any other healing issues that are common with EDS (such as poor wound healing). He also said the change in hormones may make my EDS worse especially when I get closer to delivery as my connective tissue is not only looser, but there will be weight on my joints that isn’t normally there. So I may have more hip dislocations, hurt myself easier, etc. he told me to make sure because of the increased laxity of my joints that I’m only doing low impact things. I don’t have any heart complications from EDS, but if I did they would have had to monitor that more closely. He sees 1-2 EDS type 3 patients a month and said overall we have fairly normal deliveries and just need a few extra precautions in place. I’m currently 8 weeks along and feel much better than I did before I got pregnant.
