OBGYN Q&A 1 - Pregnant after BTL??

OBGYN Dr. Michael Green answers several questions we've received in the youtube comment section. Leave your questions below for the next episode!
I’m confused the doctor said I’m 3cm and my cervix is still thick. What does this mean? Am I officially 3cm dilated or am I 0cm?
I haven’t had periods in a long time. I had a thorough workup from my physician and was told I have a microadenoma. Because of this, my doctor said it would be impossible to get pregnant, but I still want a baby. Should I try fertility treatment?
I had a bilateral tubal ligation in 2017. My period is now delayed 2 months. Can I get pregnant after a BTL?
I’m 37 weeks pregnant and was told my baby is 8 pounds. Is it ok to start induction naturally? I’m not a diabetic and have had a healthy pregnancy.

Let’s take a shot every time we hear the word: question! Just kidding! I’m 39 weeks pregnant! 🤰🏻😂 ... I’m loving these types of videos, Dr! Keep them coming! You’re so sweet and informative!

[@nicdvs]

I like Dr. Green, he's not arrogant and presents the subjects in a down-to-earth manner that is stimulating and informative. I and my wife are out of that market now, but we would have consulted him if we had the need and lived closer. We are in South Africa.

Loved this!

[@christinehaylock8428]

Yep, this is a great video format. Thank-you, keep it up, please!

[@Tulips-po2jd]

Love this Doc!!

[@renatabrpe]

I've missed you doctor Green :P I started watching your videos when I was pregnant with my first in 2015/16. I am now 37 weeks with my second. It is wonderful to hear from you again!

[@philomenafletcher6924]

Thank you so much for your informative videos . Your videos helped me prepare for an induction. Baby #1. I have a healthy 7 month old girl now.

[@lindar.7566]

Can you do a new video on VBAC? Pros and cons, the famous success rate calculator OB use, scar thickness mesurement, uterine rupture, etc. Hopefully you do them now.

[@mari80900]

Great session

[@sophieag7796]

I love these videos, I found your videos really helpful when I was pregnant. I have a 5 month old now. I was induced because of high blood pressure and had a very quick labour then a big blood loss after. I was wondering is it likely to have another big bleed with my next baby. I also was told I had a tilted uterus at my 7 week scan, now I’ve had baby does it mean the uterus would go back being tilted? Your videos are really great, I think lots of women find them really comforting!

I have a septate uterus which is slighly heartshaped also. The septum was cut out for the most part through surgery. After that I got pregnant. I had a lot of brackston hicks contractions with my pregnancy, and my cervix was funneled and only 0.7 cm at 28 weeks. I had bedrest and my daughter stayed in till 40 weeks, thank God! Question: will I be at high risk for preterm labor at my next pregnancy?

[@andaanton8357]

Currently I am 36 weeks and 4days pregnant,first pregnancy.Since the start of my periods at 12,I have been diagnosed with spaniomenorrhea.We tried different treatments but all of them interfered with my psoriasis, making it worse so I stopped. Now I've been diagnosed with Hyperemesis gravidarum early on (the first 4months of pregnancy I've lost 12kg). Due to relaxin release and vomiting 20-30times a day I've also got the biggest diastasis recti(8 fingers) which stretches from the rib cage down below the belly button. My doctor said that due to this I am not able to have a natural birth because the risk of hernia is too high. I also have a short cervix (20mm) and made a dexamethasone treatment at 32weeks. So in 2 weeks I'm planned to have a C section. My concern is that I didn't find any info to back up my doctor's claims about my inability to natural birth my child. Could you shed some light on this topic? Thank you in advance.

[@hollygrail2964]

I actually have a question! I’m 39 weeks pregnant and I’m absolutely not dilated! What can I do to speed things up? Thanks!

[@sujiwright2615]

Hi had a question ..does the OB check the dilation of cervix when you are in true Labour around 39 and half weeks pregnancy for normal vaginal delivery ?

[@premr4010]

Dr Greene, how long Depo Provera can be used as a contraception. Is there any long term side effects from prolonged use. Tq from Malaysia

[@vinitanaidu4917]

Can share your views for caring from a fourth degree tear.. i dont see many videos specifically coming from docs. It will be very helpful. Thanks in advance.

[@pamibanik7663]

I am in 2nd trimester and my fetal haemoglobin is 2.7 %..my complete blood count and other components of hemoglobin are within normal range..is there anything to worry about?

[@krystalgodwin2513]

I’m 30 weeks pregnant and this is my third baby but in my second labor my tailbone fractured from pushing the baby out laying on my back with legs up, my question is in a hospital with a natural no epidural birth is there different positions I could push out the baby in this time to hopefully avoid this happening to my tailbone again? 😊

[@oluchiigwe8329]

Am 39 weeks pregnant and i have pregnancy diabetes also i had a previous Csection but i have been offered an induction but i dont know how safe it is.

[@Charlotte-dc1xo]

In general, which is safer? A repeat c section or a VBAC? (Specifically, after only one previous c section 10 years ago due to fetal distress)

[@mackenzilowery7447]

Repeat c-section

[@sarahchristiansen9286]

Is it okay to have dental x rays/ procedures in the first trimester?

[@raa8504]

Yes I did

[@gabbymonrose8959]

Hi I did tie my tubes but some months later another doctor examine me and told me my tubes was never done could you explain to me how did the doctor know my tubes was not tie

[@jocelynvalenzuela2355]

I wish you where my ob doctor , my doctors are nice and stuff well kinda, but they keep pressuring me to have a c section since my first son was born early via emergency c section and I waited 31/2 years to get pregnant again I really want to try vbac but I’m already 40 weeks and she’s still not here I do feel a lot of contractions but they go away? And I wanted to be induced if she still doesn’t come on her own but they don’t want to do that either it’s like the just want to cut me 😔

[@mackenzilowery7447]

Once a c-section always a c-section

[@Jen-cf9tx]

Elected c section Jan 21

[@Michelle-lu1xp]

Can you make a video about symphysis pubis dysfunction 😫

[@user-us9fk9tf3r]

I'd like one on this as well. I had a lot of pelvic pain with my first pregnancy. I'm 38 weeks with my second and this time I can actually feel and hear the bones grind and pop out of place. It usually happens when rolling over in bed and getting out of a vehicle.

[@Michelle-lu1xp]

Thats how i was with my last pregnancy i could hear everything pop it was so painful i couldnt walk towards the end. My baby is 2 months now and i can still feel some of the sensation when i walk and it still pops from time to time
