ObGyn Reacts: Didn't Know I Was Pregnant!?

[@MamaDoctorJones]

There was a comment from someone initiating a conversation basically stating that it was fine for people to provide “constructive criticism” to people who are overweight. The author has deleted it, but unfortunately that means we lost our list of resources that people had shared. If you have good content creators for those who genuinely want to learn and be better regarding weight bias please share them here. I’ve seen a few videos by therapist Mickey Atkins that I appreciated.

[@mrs.lilymason]

I was writing my reply to her when it got deleted. Suddenly I couldn't post it. I think body positivity is amazing because being fat, a lot of the time you don't really like yourself. I was very healthy growing up chubby, kept eating myself from overweight to obese. When I dieted and lost weight, I did it a healthy way, changed my eating habits to have consistent good meal options s 6 times a day along with 2mile walk everyday. I lost 80 lbs in 10 months. Then I had gallbladder issues and had to gave surgery. This was directly related to the weightloss. Now my body is not as great as dealing with fats and cholesterol. While recovering from surgery and having difficulty eating, it masked my pregnancy symptoms. I was unable to get prenatal care and a preventable issue led to my first child dying. Huge depression hit me after that and slowly I got back to my original weight after about 6 years. I struggled emotionally with my subsequent pregnancies and the weight bother me more now than I did before. So yes, I was way happier and healthier before I lost weight.

I looked like a chunky pear, he laid high and across horizontally till 32 weeks then head down with his butt up under my ribs the rest of the pregnancy.

It is ok to rest, to cry occasionally, and to have worries - provided they don't over take your life.

I agree that it would be very possible to not know you are pregnant especially during the first 2 trimesters.

When I woke up, really drowsy obviously, I could hear my hubby talking somewhere, and asked the nurse "where is he?" and she brought me my son. I wanted my hubby lol, and wasn't even thinking I'd had a baby 😂. I just wanted my hubby in that moment 😆. My BP was 60/35, so I give myself a pass on that.

First, I just want to say thank you Mama Doctor Jones. As a father to a three year old daughter, I am glad there is somewhere that I can get educated on the vast amount of info that was left out of Sex Ed when in school. Also, when my wife was pregnant with our daughter, she had zero morning sickness and actually lost weight. Her placenta had also attached toward the front so even when our little girl was kicking, my wife could barely feel it. I actually only felt her kick once. Thank goodness my wife knew to take a pregnancy test, or we could have ended up on this show! 🙂

[@StaySomniaaa]

When people ask "how did they not know the were pregnant?" I just think back to how it took a joking comment from a coworker about me peeing every 20 minutes and that maybe I was pregnant to make me start doing math and begin to even suspect that I COULD be. I was 13 weeks pregnant when I suspected it, and if it hadn't been for that joking comment, I probably wouldn't have realized it until much later. And it's a lucky thing that I did find out, because when I was induced and they broke my water (at 40 weeks and 6 days), there was meconium in my amniotic fluid. After 18 hours of labor with no epidural or pain management, I popped out a tiny little 6lb 9.3oz boy and he was sooo skinny! It was concerning because he was having trouble gaining weight, but eventually everything got on track and he's now almost 3. Like Mama Doctor Jones, I loved him and would die for him, but I didn't have that starry-eyed moment with him cuz beforehand, I'd never even wanted kids. I was content to just be the cool aunt to all my nieces and nephews. It took awhile before I had my moment of "He is mine and I made him" when looking at him. I also went through some pretty bad PPD, and since I was a single mom since before he was even born (jackass ghosted and blocked me when I told him I was pregnant) I didn't have a support system to help me through it because in my mind, I got myself into it and couldn't rely on my parents because I was a grown ass woman (23) and didn't want to bother them with it. My OBGYN was my ONLY saving grace and, even though it wasn't her job, she listened to my worries and troubles and reassured me that I was doing great and she set me up with resources that could help me. I GREATLY respect the OBGYNs that are understanding and helpful rather than condescending and judgemental (my sister in law's OBGYN was the worst). Mama Doctor Jones, you're one of the good ones and I love your content!

[@frecklesthorn]

I had a similar experience with my daughter then when I got pregnant with my son I had a coworker who thought she couldn’t get pregnant told me after a lunch break she had thrown up in her car and I was like you’re pregnant which prompted her to take a test and she was a little further along then the rest of the pregnant people at our work place.

[@nicolecheyenne7937]

I only wonder how someone could not know they're pregnant when they're close to giving birth. I just don't know how someone never feels movement from the baby. With my first I had no idea I was pregnant until I was 11 weeks and the only reason I even found out then was because I had a doctors appointment for an unrelated issue. If I never went to the doctors I probably wouldn't have found out until my belly started to grow lol.

[@StaySomniaaa]

@@nicolecheyenne7937 sometimes the baby isn't very active, or the movements feel like gas. If you don't suspect you're pregnant, a lot of pregnancy symptoms can be written off as something else. Every woman and every pregnancy is different. One woman may feel movements, another may not. And a woman may feel movements in one pregnancy, but not in another. Pregnancy is so unpredictable, tbh. I personally have only had one kid, but my sister-in-law has had three and didn't know she was pregnant with the third until seven months in when she had her yearly checkup with her OBGYN. She didn't show at all and literally only gained like ten pounds, which she attributed to her not being as active as she used to be.

It does feel like forever when going through the surgical process. It may not be a ton of time, but it feels like forever. I have cried hysterically feeling abandoned in a hallway after being given the cool down “cocktail.” It feels so lonely, and like you are abandoned. Of course, then, they wake me up with what feels like too early. I just wanna sleep man. I think doctors need to understand how scared some of us are before surgery, needs to be addressed. You are busy, but we are consumed in the anxiety of what will happen. It feels like abandonment.

[@truckerdave8465]

I’m so sorry about your experience. A lot of crap was bad around my childbirth (I’m left with emotional scars still) but I remember my anesthesiologist. He was so very kind. I can see his face, 12 years later. At one point I asked how much longer and he said not too much, are you feeling sick? Yes. He immediately had something ready to fix that. He held my hand. He talked me though everything. He made sure I was never left alone or scared. He was SO GOOD at small talk. There is NO REASON this shouldn’t be the standard of care. I get not everyone is naturally empathetic but it can at least be someone learned. If nothing else, docs could learn signs of discomfort or fear and have small tasks that can help that. If nothing else, patients should be told what to expect.

I had already cut way down on smoking and fully quit when I found out, but I was working full time in a truck stop when you could still smoke inside. I also tried nursing for the first 4-5 weeks, but it just wasn't working and we ended up switching to formula. My son ended up getting bronchialitis at 2 months old and spent 2 weeks in the hospital, and there were so many people who either implied or told me straight out that it was my fault he got sick.

While my issue was not an unknown pregnancy, hearing this still helps me in recognizing I didn't do anything wrong.

Geez, my 3 week “premie” (15 years ago they considered a 37 week baby 1 week premature, as 38 wks was what was considered full term) was only 5lbs 11oz. But I did have other complications, like the first 4 months of intermittent bleeding (if we weren’t actively trying I may have thought I was having weird light periods) and pre-term labor at 32wks, hospitalized and put on strict bedrest for the duration, luckily able to keep her in until 37 wks. I also had the same intermittent bleeding early on and hemorrhaged after my first delivery so I think my doc was being extra cautious since I had that history. And yup, I hemorrhaged again after this one too. Retained placenta both times. In comparison, this woman’s baby was perfectly healthy and that’s really so awesome. My girl made up for lost time in the feeding and growing department though, I couldn’t believe just how much this tiny baby was eating 😂 Oh and sleeping, she was doing 6 hour clips through the night by like 2 wks old but then waking up ravaged, drinking down a 4 oz bottle like nothing!!! Wild time with her as an infant. Not the usual sleepless nights, and a happy baby too ♥️ Although our pediatrician was trying to tell me to wake her every 2 hours, because of her “premie” status, I laughed my ass off at that. No freaking way was I gonna wake a sleeping baby who was active, responsive and eating like a champ when awake. No way in hell 😂 Shes 15 yrs old now and the picture of health, and on the honor roll in school ♥️ I’d say doing it my way worked out just fine 😂🥰

[@Saezimmerman]

Back in the 70s, my mom stopped having her cycle. The doctors did a pregnancy test at the time, and it came back negative. The doctors attempted diagnostics but couldn’t figure out the cause. She had family history of ovarian cysts and other issues. Between that and family challenges, she was still struggling to get the issue resolved nearly 12 months later. Just before prepping her for something she referred to as “exploratory surgery”, they did another pregnancy test. My brother was born, full term, two months later.

[@julieh4747]

I went to my ob when I was 37 weeks pregnant because I didn't feel movement. They hooked me up to monitors and said she was moving. They then proceeded to give me a kick count sheet. This was my 4th pregnancy. I told them something was wrong because even though they could see on the monitor that she was kicking and moving I couldn't feel any of it. Not at all. So they did an ultrasound because I refused to leave until they could tell me why I couldn't feel her. (I feel I should point out that my SIL had a stillbirth at 36 weeks pregnant several years earlier so I was maybe a little too sensitive) The ultrasound showed I had only 2 small pockets of fluid and her umbilical cord was in one of them. They said it wasn't an emergency, but she needed to be delivered within the next 24 hours because of the risk of cord collapse. I was scheduled for a csection the next week already so she was just going to be a week earlier than planned. She was born 5 hours later. You said in the video that lack of amniotic fluid wasn't really a big deal. So was there a legitimate reason to deliver her? You made it sound like she didn't need the amniotic fluid unless I was delivering vaginally and then cord collapse could be an issue? Just curious as to your thoughts.

[@laurao3274]

I will caveat my response by saying that I'm not a medical professional. I recently read in a pregnancy book that the amniotic fluid is what the baby drinks and breathes. So if there is very little fluid, their lungs likely aren't developing. Or it may be a sign of fetal distress. Low amniotic fluid may or may not be an issue, but it will always be monitored closely. But it sounds to me that the bigger issue there was the potential for cord collapse. Without a functional cord, the baby dies. It is literally the baby's lifeline.

There are many people who have very little knowledge of anatomy. Everyone knows that men have two balls, because you can see them. But many people don't know that women have one uterus and two ovaries, because you can't see them. (There's a Jimmy Kimmel video about that somewhere.) There's also something to be said for the fact that many people just don't understand their doctors. Miscommunications run rampant in medical settings. So while a doctor may be saying in his jargon that she's likely to have trouble conceiving, she's hearing "You can't get pregnant."

[@yngvildrthevoracious]

My sister told me that when she was visiting our dad as he was suffering from cancer, he explained the weird circumstances of her birth. They don't know exactly when she was conceived, but my mom became aware of her pregnancy symptoms only around the fifth month. My mom has chronic hypertension and all of us were c-section. Including the kid between my little brother and my little sister who passed away from SIDS in July 93 at around 3 month old. Based on the dates (my sis being born sept 94), it's highly possibly my mom, who also thought the pill she was given would work but was told otherwise later and they tied her tubes after delivering my sis, simply wasn't ready to have another child after losing this little one, especially already having toddler me and my brother to take care of anyway. Thankfully, it did not go so close to term that my mom had even higher chance to have her pre eclampsia trigger before she could get care. She had pre eclampsia for each of us, they kept us in as long as they could before having emergency c sections each time.

MDJ, I love your show and love when you cover the ‘I Didn’t Know I was Pregnant’ episodes. But on this one I have to tell you, it is entirely possible that poor girl DID get left alone for a period of time. Because that happened to me! 38 years ago, I did know I was pregnant and planned a home birth with a registered Nurse/Midwife, (this was in Oregon). However we had to transfer to the hospital because when my water broke I saw that there was a lot of miconium in the water. I was able to have a natural birth but when my son was born I only got to hold him for a few seconds then he was whisked off for tests and the ICU, they let my husband follow along. My contractions had stopped and I had not passed the placenta. A nurse came in and instructed me to press on my stomach to try to get it going! Then she left and I was alone again. I don’t know how long but it was very distressing just lying in that big room pressing on my stomach and worrying about my baby. Eventually my husband and the midwife came back and she called a nurse and they started a pitocin drip. My placenta eventually came out and thank God my son was fine and only had to spend one night in NICU. I was 26 and this was my first baby. Thankfully we attended pre-natal classes and I knew about issues like my water and that my placenta had to come out, but I was left alone twice in the delivery room having just given birth. And this was at a “good” hospital. My 2nd baby I was 35, high risk, and delivered at an old army hospital with a shortage of doctors due to the war. That was another story. So, things that shouldn’t happen, happen a lot more than you would think. Even though my nurse midwife and doctors were very good, there is a lot that can slip through. Luckily I am proactive about medical care. But a lot of young women find it hard to assert themselves. That’s why you perform such a valuable service and I share your videos with my daughter and others.

I am 37 now but when I first started getting my period I developed ovarian cysts regularly. We didn't know it until I was in so much pain I needed to go to the ER and ended up needing surgery. I lost my left fallopian tube and ovary (cantaloupe sized cyst cause migration and twisted tube cutting off circulation) and had a softball sized cyst removed from the right. I was 12 years old. I was told then that I may not ever be able to have kids and if I did it would be very difficult. As I got older I was told I can't go off of birth control because that was keeping the cysts at bay. If I want off of it to get pregnant there would be a good chance I could lose the only ovary I have left due to developing large cysts. I was always devastated that I may not be able to have kids. I knew at a very young age I wanted to be a mom. Turns out I got pregnant with 1 ovary, a severe chronic nerve disorder, and while on birth control a little over 2 years ago. Every OB and Maternal Fetal specialist I saw called him my miracle baby. I now have the most amazing 21 month old little boy ❤
