You have been a lifesaver! I have been going crazy and trying to watch as many of your videos I possibly can! Thank you!

We had a prolapsed cord with my son. The nurse couldn’t feel any pulsating, so she thought she was feeling an ear, but as soon as the OB said it was the cord, everyone jumped into emergency mode. It was crazy. And they didn’t take the time to put me into any special position, but the other things you mentioned happened. Also, it was after a spontaneous rupture of membranes for me.

My first baby had a two vessel cord and they did all the testing and she was perfectly fine. Even came out at a healthy 8lbs 12oz. Can only imagine how big she would’ve been with a normal cord!

You are such an awesome teacher! I wish you had been my nurse with all my babies! But especially my last one. She was behind on growth my entire pregnancy & was delivered 3 weeks early due to IUGR. Turned out that she had a two vessel cord that hadn't been detected on my many ultrasounds. What that meant was never really explained very well to me so I'm thrilled to finally understand-even if it is almost 12 years later!! Even though I'm out of the birthing loop, I still love watching your channel! I call it brushing up for my grandbabies!! 🙂Blessings to you & your family Nurse Zabe!!!🥰

I went into labor with my water breaking at 34 weeks and even though he was early they let me do delayed cord clamping , which for me we did around 30 minutes. I was so happy they let me do that even though he was born early. So much of my birth plan got thrown out the window but I still got to do a few things and that was one of them.

Forgot to mention that even though my son was a preemie, and he was exclusively breastfed until he was 11 months old (he refused solid foods that long) his iron stores were still in the normal level at his one year check up. I really thank delayed cord clamping for this. Everyone told me his iron would be low and luckily it wasn’t!

I ended up with a cesarean because my daughter was just utterly tangled in her cord; had it wrapped around her neck and had an arm pinned up by her head so that she couldn't even drop into place for vaginal birth plus the deceleration occurring. Using it like a jump rope would explain things! She was a mover and a shaker in there.

I've had all kinds of weird placenta/cord stuff happen, between my four live births. My first had an extremely small placenta, likely due to an undiagnosed clotting disorder causing it to form poorly. The cord had a battledore insertion and there was no Wharton's jelly at the attachment point. My midwife said she doesn't normally show people their placenta unless they ask, but she had to show me how precarious it was. She could put her fingers between the vessels, and there was an exposed vessel running all the way across the surface. The cord was thin and short as well. I had a water birth and I could barely keep his face out of the water without tugging on the cord before the placenta was delivered. My baby was only 5 lb 12 oz despite being 38+5 gestation. Second was fine. Third had the cord around his neck twice and also around his arm and his torso. He was all tangled up in there. Youngest had chorioamnionitis, cord vasculitis, everything stained green from meconium, and there was a clot under the placenta. I had an amnioinfusion with the third and fourth. It didn't seem to help either time, but I managed to have a vaginal birth with #3. I had an emergency c-section with #4. Do not recommend.

Do you have a preference of Cord ring vs clamp? I've been researching it and the ring seem so much better. Also, the iron in breast milk - if it's naturally not in there then why do most formulas have it in there? I wasn't able to breastfeed my first 2 as long as I wanted and so I'm trying different things with this baby, but also trying to be prepared for both.

Great video! I’ve always wondered about my first pregnancy. We decided to donate cord blood to a blood bank. They told me it was some of the most cord blood they’d ever collected. Does that mean they didn’t delay the cord clamping? I really should have asked more questions, but I assumed they would delay the clamping because that is the practice of the hospital. Overall, baby was/is healthy and we were actually able to help another child in need, but I always questioned it.

So good news: More than 90 percent of the time, placenta previa diagnosed in the second trimester corrects itself by term. That’s because as the uterus grows, the placenta grows up with it too. Your doctor will give you more specifics on your case and severity and continue to monitor. Placenta previa that does not resolve will need to be delivered via cesarean birth, due to the dilation of the cervix interrupting blood flow and causing bleeding.

Quick question about delayed cord clamping, both my boys had jaundice and were in NICU for treatment. I did some reading on delayed cord clamping and one con was that it increases chance of jaundice because of the extra red blood cells. I understand that not doing it wouldn’t prevent my baby from having jaundice but I sort of don’t want to do anything that would make it worse. What’s your advice on this? 😊
@Nurse_zabe
@Nurse_zabe 3 жыл бұрын
I’d chat with you doctor about the risk factors you and you baby’s have for jaundice. Has the jaundice been related to a blood type incompatibility or premature birth. The research is mixed on delayed cord clamping causing jaundice and since jaundice is treatable and monitored DCC is still recommended!

ICU nurse here and I know nothing about OB! Lol silly question, but does it hurt the baby when the umbilical stump falls off?
@Nurse_zabe
@Nurse_zabe 3 жыл бұрын
Nope! Like a loose tooth, it’ll just fall off by itself if left alone. If you pulled it out prematurely that might be painful and cause more bleeding

Thank you for the info Nurse Zabe. My question is about the natural drying of the stump. Is it acceptable to cover it with a onesie? How do you dress the baby while ensuring the safety of the area. I remember back in the 80s and 90s diapers had a navel dip in the front so that they were easier for the baby to wear while waiting for the stump to fall. Thank you for any info you can provide 😊

@Nurse_zabe
@Nurse_zabe 3 жыл бұрын
Based on what I’ve read, it might not be encouraged due to the risk of blood from twin B going to twin A before twin B is delivered since they share a placenta. I’d double check with you OB and see what they think!

My doctor said the same thing you did. It would not be advised nor would milking the cord after delivery. If I had di/di twins it would be a different story.

You know the umbilical cord is important when Biggie Smalls raps about it: Umbilical Cord wrapped around my neck/ I'm seeing my death/ And I ain't even took my first breath I made it out / I'm bringing mad joy/ The doctor looked and said/ He's gonna be a bad boy/ 🎶 🥰

@@Nurse_zabe thats what i said. He was breech and was very high up in my pelvis. So when 2 drops og water broke i har to lay down and call an ambulance. Was at the hospital 1 hour after my water broke (40 ish minutes drive) they Said it har to be a c section coz if i pushed he would suffocate. Water broke at 8 pm. My son was born at 11.06 pm. I never har any contractions. Hes now a happy healthy 1.5 year old. If the nurses and doctors didnt react as fast as they did he wouldnt be alive. I am forever greatful

I like your content but “birthing person “ really makes my skin crawl. Only women give birth. Saying “person” implies that a man can do it , and as a pregnant woman I find this incredibly offensive.
