My son is 4 and has chickens at preschool so when he found out i was pregnant (now 27 weeks) he spent 3 weeks watching my butt when i asked him what he was doing he explained he was waiting for me to lay the egg. He is still not entirely convinced that i am not going to and is very disappointed
My daughter thought every time I went to an OB appointment, they were going to magically make her baby brother appear. She legitimately had a tantrum after each appointment for not spontaneously making a baby appear.
A mother's day card I got for my mom was telling about the appreciation for all the life lessons a mother bequeaths to her child... Then it stated that the most important one by far was the toilet-training... I cannot begin to thank you enough for that, mom!
@Joe Dick the egg has to get from the Fallopian tube to where it can be fertilized. So, no it isn’t stationary and just appear where can be fertilized.
"Lay babies" is adorable! Reminds me of when my oldest son was three, we were taking a walk after dinner and came across a huge pinecone. I asked him if we should take it home. He looked at me with a serious expression and said "No, Mommy, we need to leave it alone so it can hatch!". "Hatch?" I asked "Yes, the baby raccoon is in there, shhh..." I'm not sure where my baby got the idea that pinecones were raccoon eggs, but I think it's possibly the most precious thing I've ever heard...but I'm a little biased.
THANK YOU for mentioning the stigma around herpes. I was raped and I now have HSV1 genitally for life. The amount of embarrassment and shame I’ve felt over it is tremendous. The doctor at the urgent care, who diagnosed it, shamed me for not using protection, and I told her I was raped and didn’t seek medical treatment after, and she told me I should have known better.
Awe. I'm sorry you had to go threw that!! .. I've been raped before, and it never leaves you... I caught something from the guy that raped me... It fucking sucks!!
First of all, I'm so sorry you experienced that. You should definitely not feel any shame or embarrassment. Herpes has actually been part of humanity since literally before we were homo sapiens sapiens. It's only been VERY recently in human history that people started to treat herpes with stigma. Prior to the advent of medication to treat herpes people just had herpes and nobody cared (just like nobody cares if you get a coldsore), because it was just so common. Almost everyone has some kind of herpes virus in them, it's not even usually part of a standard STI panel unless you specifically ask for it or are pregnant! I think the stigma is slowly waning, it's really unfortunate and unnecessary.
Interestingly she actually told me platypus was the exception. I don't know if she knows Echidna (wtf is that even?? lol) - I'm going to ask her today.
@Mama Doctor Jones they are native Australia animals... Very cute, and much like hedgehogs/porcupine... As my dad always says: "the only two animals that can make their own ice cream!" 😄 Australian animals are so weird...
@ Mama Doctor Jones Ah, well, you might be glad you are not a veterinarian treating a male echidna .www.wired.com/2014/07/the-creature-feature-10-fun-facts-about-the-echidna/
@@MamaDoctorJones Your daughter sounds adorable! I would totally geek out about animals with her if I could XD You should see if she knows about the Okapi. An African, forest animal related to the giraffe that looks like a fusion of a giraffe, horse and zebra 😉
@@MamaDoctorJones Platypus and Echidnas are both monotremes, which are the only egg laying mammals. Their babies are called puggles, and they don't have nipples even though they do feed their babies milk like other mammals. They excrete the milk through pores in their skin and the puggles lick it off. When humans raise the babies, instead of using a bottle they just pour the milk on their hands and let the babies lick it up. Your kiddo sounds awesome!
Direct translation from French to English is “launching a baby”… when I learned this I laughed for more than 1 hour. Your lay baby story made me think of that.
How many men cant figure out it only happens every 3 to 4 weeks. It literally doesnt take a genius lol. The only chance he is wrong is if your cycle isnt exact. Mine is usually every 28 days.
@@lynsirobertson3527 my bf knows 😂😂 and then his sister has a very heavy and painful period and he is like, but my gf has it like for 4 days and it is over there, being all confused. 😂And I am like, dude I am on the pill which helps so much. Of course I have it for only 4 days 😂😂
when I was about 13/14. I was in a really close friend group with two girls. Naturally we all synced up. Then one of them got a boyfriend and he would hang out with us ALL THE TIME. break, after school etc. The poor 15 year old boy was so sweet to all of us and he could tell when we were all menstruating and would bring us desserts from his dads restaurant. So cute! Thanks James
My guy friends found out I was on my first period and ordered some chocolate online to be delivered to my house. They only told me after I put on our group chat 'Why the hell did I just get chocolate delivered? I don't remember ordering any.'
One time my boyfriend was staying at my parents' house and had really bad diarrhea at night. My mom was worried about it getting on the bed if he didn't wake up in time, so she gave him a maxi pad to put in his pants. The next morning, he said that he sees why I complain about periods, because pads really pull at your hair down there. He had stuck it to his butt tape side up 😂😂😂
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 My younget brother found my mom's panty liners, asked what are these for? Mom: they are for a sore throat. Fast forward a month or so and my brother is walking around house with a panty liner taped to his neck...too help his sore throat, of course!!
I mean, there is an element of common sense that you'd like to think should come into play lol 😆. A pad is similar to diapers but smaller, so the absorbent side should face your bits. Logically, you'd wear underwear with them, so you have the sticky side against the underwear to hold it in place 🤷♀️
My mom is a OBGYN, which is basically a gynecologist, one time a patient opened her shirt so my mom could do a breast exam, my mom saw that her patient had a very large very intricate tattoo. My mom said “Beautiful” her patient looked horrified, and my mom had to explain that she thought the tattoo was beautiful, not her patients breasts. The first meme made me think of it.
(Picking up my 5yo from kinder) Son: mom, r u pregnant? Mom: no. Why? Son: bc we learned mammals have babies in the springtime. Mom proceeded to explain the difference between humans and springtime mating mammals.
nalomelimaia maybe they were all like me and the byproducts of summertime wedding anniversary shenanigans 😂 *true story, I'm a living byproduct of my parent's tenth anniversary 🐣🐇🐦
Well then i damn well better hope you weren't But you get such gems from the confused "How have you been?" "I dont fucking know but im cold can you get me a warm blanket" I loved every one of my paitents
I had to explain the pad thing to a mate of mine. He was trying to understand periods and we were discussing the pains that came with it and he added "yeah and you also have to deal with waxing your snatch everytime you remove your pads, that's got to suck." My reaction O.o and then I cleared things up for him. I'll treasure that memory.
When I was a toddler like 2 or 3 years old I found my mom's maxi pads for some reason my toddler brain thought they were slippers...I took the backing off and stuck them to my feet I toddled into the kitchen where my mom was having tea with friends...(this was the 80's I'm now 41/f) proudly sat down stuck out my feet to her and her friends and said "LOOK MOMMY SLIPPERS" As a female I have yet to live this down and I do actually remember the incidence.
Many years ago when my brother was around 3yo (I wasn't even born yet), he was staying with my aunt & cousins at their house. He liked hiding in unusual places so they'd have to go looking for him, well my male cousin found him inside a dresser where he found he'd stuck his sister's pads(my cousin) inside saying they were airplanes. Needless to say she was mortified 😂
You were just ahead of your time. They actually sell a product like that now, for people who want to be barefoot and still want protection from the ground.
Childhood incident : We were at a fairly popular thrift shop, back in the 80's when my brother and I were young... AND he found an early model vibrating dildo among the toys (apparently someone wasn't playing with a full deck) and when it started humming in his hand, he got really excited and ran off through the store to show it to our mother, screaming nearly hysterically about the "toy rocket" he'd just procured to take home... ...at 11, myself (four years his elder)... I knew what it was, and was stricken with a crippling case of hysterical laughter... rendering me incapable of chasing him down, even if I'd wanted to... though admittedly, for the reaction our mother was going to have (along with every knowledgeable lady in the shop) I didn't want to, either... if I'm honest. Adult Antics : I'm often finding and restoring antiques for various reasons, and often they entail props for theater and occasionally as "set dressing" for certain bars, themed restaurants, and other places... Among the things I have a constant demand for are "Scary Medical Devices"... Which is a catch-all for just about anything that's obviously from a medical (hopefully surgical) background and the mere shape of it inspires horror in anyone who doesn't (and sometimes anyone who does) know what it's actually meant to be used for... SO when I found a speculum for a horse at an estate sale (someone was liquidating all the old gear from a horse ranch)... I crowed delightedly and found it easy to afford along with a large-ish box of other random utensils, including several very nice glass syringes from way the hell and gone into yester-years... You can imagine the horror my mother felt when I showed up at the house with that box, and the speculum resting happily on top in all it's stainless steel gleaming glory... for the neighbors, and a large group of family and friends who were visiting at the time, to see... ...needless to say, most of the women knew on the spot what it was (thought not for what or whom it was intended) and began to look a little green about their gills as I unloaded the thing and carried it up to the house... ;o)
I know that there might be a better place to comment this, but I would appreciate a video on different ways that obgyn's can help their patients who suffer from sexual assault based PTSD. And how a patient should broach that subject.
YES, this. So much this. I was trying to find a way to contact her to ask if she'd do that. Also, PTSD caused or exacerbated by doctors. Both can make visiting impossible.
@@eledatowle7128 yes indeed it can, however having that information will give people who need that help an idea on how to get it and finding the right obgyn.
Great comment, my first visit to PP at 16 and the exam (by an unsympathetic woman) was So traumatic, I skip years between visits to this day :( I have never known what to do. I have a Midwife who delivered my son and I trust her, but still don’t go in every year.
@@henk-3098 psychiatrists can't preform pelvic exams or paps. PTSD is a disablity that deserves the same level of accomodations as every other disability.
When I had my first pelvic exam, I kept my undies on until she came into the room because I was nervous. When she came in she was like "you'll need to remove those" (she's been my regular dr for years so we have some rapport) and I jokingly said "oh I just thought I'd build the suspense" 😂
The Tesla logo totally looks like an IUD and I figure it means there were no women around when they came up with it because no car designer wants their vehicle associated with birth control.
When I was a kid (ages 5-12) I went to a private Lutheran school and during our 'sex ed' class when I was 12 we were taught that all STDs would be with you forever and weren't curable and you'd always have them. It wasn't until about 3 years ago (at 21) that I learned that pretty much every STD/ STI except for herpes or HPV was curable. Sex Ed in schools is criminally poor.
@@-Annn- Could have also scared people into never seeking help when they have STIs because 'there is no cure'. The kind of school to tell you those kind of lies to scare you from sex is also likely to not promote protection and just tell people to be abstinent instead, imo :(
Don't forget about HIV. That's probably the most serious of them all. (Unless you're rich or live in a rich country where healthcare is a human right, or you live in the U.S. and have very good health insurance. Those people are the only ones who can afford the drugs that prevent HIV/AIDS from being a death sentence. It's still a serious disease though even if you're taking the best treatment.)
@@nowandaround312 if you take medication against HIV you don't get AIDS and you don't pass it on either. If properly medicated HIV isn't really an issue at all. It's a shame that so many people still can't access that treatment
I just finished my Level II of nursing school, and didn't find this channel until late into our OB section. I simply LOVE you! Thank you for taking the time to break things down and explain things, in both medical terms and layman terms. After finishing the OB section of nursing school, I feel that I am kind of drawn to possibly being a Labor and Delivery nurse. This is fascinating stuff!!! Thank you, thank you, thank you!!
I loved your daughter's 'laying babies' remark. Since she is always testing your knowledge of animals, how about telling her about the mammals that do lay actual eggs. They are called monotremes. There are three extant species all of which are native to Australia and New Zealand. You are probably aware of the platypus, but there are also two species of echidna which look a bit like hedgehogs. Not only do they lay eggs, but they don't have nipples. The females lactate through pores located on bare patches in the fur on the chest. The male platypus is also the only mammal to produce venom which is delivered by spikes on the hind legs. Monotremes differ from more advanced mammals by having a single opening for the digestive, urinary, and genital organs as seen in birds and reptiles.
One time my sister-in-law’s husband was putting away the groceries after a shopping trip. In the early nineties , a brand of period pads boasted that the pads had a peach protection strip to prevent leaks, he put the pads in the refrigerator so they wouldn’t spoil!😂😂😂😂😂
I had a seizure a couple years ago and the EMTs joked that I “pulled them away” from a bikini wax injury. I don’t even wanna know how bad they screwed up for that poor person to need 911 👀
I just don’t know how someone can put themselves through that. Sugaring is much better but still painful. I’d rather just leave the hair. Also I hope you’re doing okay!
Oh noooo..as an esthetician I can imagine a LOT of things that could go wrong with waxing as far as user error by the provider or a non-professional attempting waxing at home-or lying about contraindications which unfortunately happens fairly often 😞
About hiding underwear at a gyno appointment: my hypothesis as a non-psychologist and general non-expert would be that it's a way to maintain some control and privacy in a situation that is very invasive and vulnerable. It seems like a fairly non-harmful and healthy coping mechanism.
The "lay babies" part had me dying! A couple of months ago, my little brother who is 6 came running into the house all sweaty and panting and excited. I was worried and asked what was wrong and he said I had to come see Charlie, our chihuahua, because "Charlie laid a baby and I think she's about to lay another one!" 100% the cutest thing I had ever heard him say haha ❤❤🥰
@@annebruecks7381 she actually was having babies haha. It was weird tho because we knew she was pregnant for a while. She's a minpen chaweenie so it's obvious when she's pregnant 😂 she had this big huge stomach but then for about a week it just disappeared. We didn't know if she had a miscarriage or false pregnancy or what! But by the end of the week with no warning at all, my little brother discovered her "laying babies" 😂💀
Can I just say that as a teacher the critical thinking skills of your daughter is pretty impressive. For her to come to that conclusion that it is “lay babies” with the knowledge she already has is so smart! Well done!
PANGOLINS! I love pangolins so much and it's a crime how relatively unknown they are. Pangolins are the most poached animal. Full stop. Most. Poached. Animal. All 8 species are either threatened or endangered, and efforts to breed them in captivity havent been very successful. Some fun facts about them: They eat ants and termites with their extremely long tongue that is similar to an anteater's. They have the 2nd longest tongue relative to their body size in the animal kingdom. They do not have teeth, and instead rely on a gizzard-like stomach to grind up their food. Despite the similarities, they are NOT closely related to anteaters at all. They have their own order, which is the sister taxa to order Carnivora, so they are more closely related to bears, cats, and dogs than they are to anteaters. Their scales are made of keratin, and are just a specialized alteration of fur. These are some of my favorite animals and it brings me joy to see them mentioned anywhere 😊
In one of the pregnancy books I'm reading, the author mentions how weird it is to use language like to "deliver" a baby like it's a pizza, essentially giving the medical staff the honor of putting the baby in the world instead of the mother who did the actual job. So your daughter is on the right track, changing the language giving back the honor to the mother 🙂
Cue the Monty Python: Scene is set in a hospital delivery room Pregnant Mother: What do I do? Doctor (distracted): What? Pregnant Mother: What do I do? Doctor: Oh. Nothing, you are not qualified.
In spanish the mom is mentioned as active part so unless you use "born/nacer" (when the sentence is talking about the baby as subject) the mom is always mentioned.
The "Lay babies" thing made me think of something my niece said that I've actually adopted into my own vernacular. She called the previous night "yesternight". It was so cute!
I used to tutor a second language student who called “the day before yesterday” and “the day after tomorrow” “yesterday’s yesterday” and “tomorrow’s tomorrow” and I think it sounds so much better!!
I got my period while with my father(divorced from my mother and wasn't with any women) we had to go store grab pads. Without instruction i put the pad on the right way. I feel wierd not understanding how people make thay mistake.
Ok your daughter is the best human ever. The second you mentioned that she knows animals you've never heard about I was thinking "someone has to tell this kid about pangolins". Imagine my joy!! They're my favorite animal and more people need to know about them!! Not just because they're adorable and they look like an anteater had a baby with an artichoke, but because they're also extremely endangered and poached for their scales.
It really says a lot about the quality of a man when he sees you're tense or upset and instead of asking "is something wrong?"/"did something happen?" so he can help you, he chooses to ask if you're going through PMS, so he can dismiss you (and not to be supportive).
He's trying to gage if he can help you or not by checking if it's the kind of problem he can do nothing about first, just because it's done in an inelegant way doesn't mean it's done out of malicious intent
Lol same but I love hearing signature music where I don't expect it. There's a commercial on tv that uses the same music as I do for bath bomb demos lol
A few weeks ago my friends and I were talking about what TH-camrs we watched. Here’s how the conversation went. Me: you’ve probably never heard of her, but I watch a lot of Mamma Doctor Jones. My friend: Oh my gosh! I love her videos. *we continue to talk about your videos while our other friend looks on confused* My friend: I love when she uses a stuffed animal to demonstrate something. My other friend: Oh my gosh, your talking about that TH-camr! I love her! It should be noted we’re all teenagers and none of us are planning on going into the medical field, we just apparently really like your videos.
Know what I love most about your channel?? Hearing that things I do or thoughts I have are NORMAL and that MANY other women do the same thing or have the same thoughts. Thank you MDJ! ❤️
As a former Pharm tech, that Metronidazole joke made me pee my pants 🤣🤣🤣🤣 I immediately had to send it to my mom who is a hospital pharm tech. Just so you know, it made her entire unit's day. :-)
The whole rant about the hardship a sperm goes through to get to an egg makes me feel special. Like I must have fought hard as hell to get here, and was smart enough to find an egg. I mean, that's something, I ain't a complete failure
Stan The Man I have a customer at work who refers to himself as “the lucky sperm”, mainly because he was born to a rich family and inherited a lot. But in a sense, I do believe we are all lucky sperms!
However unpopular my opinion may be, I have to admit that I don't like monkeys, although I am generally an animal lover. They're generally unclean and untrustworthy. I don't think they are cute and engaging, as most humans seem to, and while I would under certain conditions, keep a lion or a tiger as a pet, I wouldn't even keep a monkey in a cage! The cases described in this video don't surprise me at all!
@@leynaabbey This was actually not a comment on this posting, it was on a previous one. Sorry for the confusion. As to this one all I have to say, is that "lucky" sperm doesn't know what it's letting itself in for and by the time it realizes what's happened, it's too late.
The “acute agina” meme (lol) made me think of an episode of Crazy Ex-Girlfriend where Paula goes to the gyno because she thinks she’s in menopause, but really she’s having a heart attack. In case you need ideas for Ob/Gyn reacts 😂 Season 4, episode 12.
Yes! That was also important to draw attention to symptoms of a heart attack in women, which is often very different than the "Hollywood heart attack" : chest-clutching and falling down. But this is based on men's typical heart attack symptoms!!
It would also be neat if she reacted to "The Miracle of Birth" song from Crazy Ex-Girlfriend. Other songs from the show she could react to: "I Gave You A UTI" "Period Sex" All of the Cats parody songs
So funny. But the meme is referring to a Bill Engvall sketch where he's talking about being high on a pot brownie when he gets a call from his mom. She says his dad is in the hospital with acute angina. He mishears it as "cute vagina." It's one of the funniest things I've ever heard. th-cam.com/video/PyOfiLTRAgA/w-d-xo.html
Fun story: I was prescribed metronidazole and had a mild unrelated cold, so I took some NyQuil. Well, NyQuil contains alcohol! Luckily I didn’t get violently ill but I freaked out so bad I had to call poison control because I was sure I was going to die 😂
I’m a female, who had little to no sex education, never got that permission slip signed to see the puberty video in 5th grade, and was never allowed to talk about anything regarding the reproductive tract (my mom would just LALALALALA if I tried to ask a question). I was almost 17 when I got my first period and I did put the pad tape side up the first time because my stupid mind couldn’t understand how the pad worked. I’ve since solved the problem. Normalize reproductive health conversations with your children. Prevent this humiliation in the future. Thanks for coming to my Ted talk. Love you MDJ. Thanks for teaching me about my body!
Thank you for everything you do, especially being gender inclusive. It feels really nice to be validated by healthcare providers. Just taking the opportunity of catching this video right after you posted to voice how much I appreciate you and your channel.
There is actually a case of a woman who was born without a vagina getting pregnant shortly after fellating her boyfriend because she was stabbed in the stomach area by an angry ex (who, I think, walked in on the pair) and some sperm found their way to her fallopian tubes. To quote Jurassic Park, "Life finds a way".
@@Ten13Grl Ok I thought "no way this can be true, but i just found the article!" abcnews.go.com/Health/Wellness/teen-girl-vagina-pregnant-sperm-survival-oral-sex/story?id=9732562#:~:text=Her%20birth%20defect%20%2D%2D%20called,not%20believe%20she%20was%20pregnant.
It's because of some tissues temporarily blocking the cervix and therefore, it reduces the flow and it stops and then starts again. Hope you get it now!
thankfully, i have had girlfriends that had no problem letting me know where they were in their cycles. that way i was able to run for cover, bring chocolates, coffee and flowers, etc. ladies: giving your boyfriends/husbands/FWB's fair warning is a great thing to do and we really Really REALLY appreciate it.
here is a funny story that happened to me... when i was a young married women in the early 80's i was having a discussion with my doctor before my baby was born. he asked me if it was a boy would i get him circumcised. i did not answer him because i did not know what that was. i thought men came that way. he asked me if my husband was circumcised and i said i don't know. i would like to thank my parents for the terrible lack of sex education. ha ha
I had an American exchange student in my school when I was in high school. She thought it was so weird that no boys were circumcised (not the norm in many European countries) and I didn't even know it was normal to do that 🙈
I swear I've trained my eds. I can now turn light switches off with myy toes/change bed sheets with their help. Nothing freaks people out more than seeing people's reactions to me using my feet as extra hands lol
because i want this kid, i'm guessing i'll get a math whiz trying to enthrall me with equations because i have crap luck. but fingers still crossed i get a kid like this, please jeebus i could play guess the animal all day and be reasonably content lol
I was just confused as to how anyone could still not know what a pangolin is five or six months into coronavirus having stopped the world in its tracks.
I was about to write the same. It's fascinating that, if you see at the chart of the species, platypus is EXACTLY at the division between mammals and birds.
I love the sperm talking to each other meme. It reminds me of the “Look Who’s Talking” movies from the 1980s, which used comedians to give voices to young babies, and always started with a scene of actual sperm traveling up the birth canal on the way to conception, and talking to each other about a “race” as one might expect sperm to be talking about if they could talk. Even as an adult, it is interesting and funny to me to think about how long a “race” the 8 centimeter birth canal must be for a sperm cell measured in nanometers. To them, those 8 centimeters must be like 80 miles - longer than 3 marathons - no wonder conception can be so iffy!!
I went down a rabbit hole trying to conceptualize this whole thing. It'd be like a grain of rice swimming to the top of the Great Pyramid at Giza, and then going into a hole a bit wider than a semi-truck is long, and finding a moving volleyball in a tube that that's long as the St. Louis Gateway Arch is tall (taller than the pyramid). Using an average of 100 milion sperm per ejaculation, there's usually about 13,777 cups of rice racing up that pyramid.
Thank you for mentioning that metronidazole can interact with the small amount of alcohol in your mouthwash! My doctor and pharmacist neglected to tell me this and by sheer coincidence I watched this video whilst wishing the world would swallow me up because the side effects are just SO BAD. Thank you for all you do and for saving this internet stranger!
Best ever on “I’m a doctor you can’t gross me out” my mom’s podiatrist could not handle blisters. All I could think of is that’s like a surgeon not liking blood.
I worked as a phlebotomist for a blood bank and we had a doctor who was a regular donor but we eventually had to ban him. He did fine with the venipuncture and letting the blood filled the bag but if he looked at a blood bag is own or anyone else's or the tubing full of blood he would pass out and his heart rate would become extremely low. The last time he donated, he passed out leaving ng and hit the floor hard. His wife had to take him home. She told us about the first time one of their kids needed stitches. It wasn't a very bad cut, only needed three sutures. He met them in the ER and fainted when the cut oozed a couple of drops of blood. He hit his head on the gurney and got a concussion. He was a hematologist. .
There is nothing like emptying the collection bottle containing digested blood from the stomach of a person in the process of bleeding out. I don't do drugs, but I would have painted my nostrils with cocaine to avoid smelling that. 40 years later, that smell is unforgettable.
@@michaelc7723 I was doing a vet experience thing that you had to do before enrolling in a veterinarian course at a university, and the worst smell I have ever smelled was a rotten calving. As in, a vet put her arms into the uterus of a cow with a chain, and removed hunks of a large, miscarried calf inside of the cow that was decomposing. I ended up getting an ecology degree instead.
Your daughter is the best 🤣 There's a boy in my daycare centre who us right years old and heavily interested in nature and anatomy. He knows EVERYTHING about insects and arachnids. We had a conversation with a couple of children and I was telling them that mammals don't lay eggs. This child looks at me, smiles serenely and says: "Yes they do. Most animals lay eggs. Some just do it on the inside, rather than the outside." We were all blown away because THAT IS TRUE!!!
Dear Dr Mama, I really appreciate the part about removing stigma and shame around STI's. As you were talkin about herpes, I said said to my husband that I have no idea what it looks like. I've always avoided looking it up, cuz I felt like I already knew what I needed to know about it. BUT, I gave it a quick google and I seen it for the first time. And, I'm heartbroken. I feel so much empathy for anyone who lives with it. I can see how much it must hurt. I feel terrible for all the bad herpes jokes out there that make people who live with it feel bad about themselves. It's not fair man.
If it helps at all, most people with herpes are asymptomatic. I had my first cold sore at around 11, and my second a few years ago at age 23. It hurts when it pops as if you got burned with sugar, but after an hour or so, you don't notice unless you touch it.
I had clymidia, I'm open about it because I took meds for a week and now I don't have it and I think that's amazing and shows how amazing medicine has become. I don't shame people with sti's but before sleeping with anyone I make them get tested and get one done myself, I'm a strong believer in after every sexual relationship getting a check done even if you're 99% you're clean because even if everything's good you get free condoms and who doesn't want more of them?
So one summer when I was about 19 or 20 about 75% of my friend circle got chlamydia. Guess we were all just messing around with each other 😂 I was lucky I didnt but I got tested to be sure. Anyways everyone just had to be open about it and talk about it b/c most of us had it and no one could single out where it started or call anyone out. We just had to make sure everyone got treated, make sure we all were going to be more careful in the future and consider that maybe we needed to branch out our dating pool 😂
I had chlamydia a few months ago and it sucked before I knew what it was, and then we got it treated and life got so much better. Get tested regularly, kids.
@@supersungal2 even better. Use condom inn new relationships and random hookups. Not "i have never catch anything so I won't get anything now either" and end up catching something that has no cure (Not to mention you probably don't want to make baby with new so/rando) Also even when chlamydia is treatable, 60% don't cause any symptoms and it's know cause for female infertility when untreated. I would not be laughing at it.
Me before: surrounded by longhorn merch. Me now: surrounded by burnt orange uteri "I must share my misery with all my longhorn cousins and it will be glorious!"
I shave all the time because eww. LOL I cant stand my leg hair starting to grow in, like even a little prickly, I cant handle it.... especially if I'm going to sleep or lay in bed... the sheets getting hung up on my prickly legs - and just imagine your clothes or panties getting hung up on prickly hairs down there. I'm always between shaving and letting it grow down there lol .. because of clothes rubbing or getting hung up on it. Ugh
I know I'm late to the party but Holy Majolies you are GORGEOUS in that editing shot!!! If I could look that good in that sitch... Dang. I love your content and the stones you have to keep on your message. You are truly an asset to the species.
When I was pregnant with my first, my sister in law tried to gross us out by talking about baby poop. We're both in the medical field though so we described, in detail, the amazing trajectory cdiff diarrhea can take when conditions are right. Then my husband described the blood jello he pulled out of a mans bladder. We won.
my mom is an RN and told a blood jello story during dinner. We had to full stop tell her she is only allowed one story about work a day and it should not be during dinner.
Loved this video! Thanks for the laughs Mama Doctor Jones! Would you be willing to do a video on PGAD, persistent genital arousal disorder, also known as restless genital syndrome? It's such a misunderstood and awful condition, and you are one of the most educational, respectful, and helpful physicians on TH-cam. Our community would so appreciate the awareness and education you could provide to this issue. When you said "a cute vagina is something your doctor should never say to you", it made me think of the 3 different gynecologists I saw that told me they "wished their wife/they had that problem!" when I came to them for treatment and help with a disabling condition. I know several other women who've been told the same thing, largely just because of how poor the name/diagnosis is. It's akin to priapism in men but wasn't even identified as a disorder until recently and faces so much stigma.
Wow I've never been this early! Also, could you do a video about gynecological exams? I feel like it's something that many young women are scared of, specially the first time.
Agree! So many people in baby/mom groups ask questions about exams while pregnant as well. They ask about papsmears, colposcopys, group B strep test, cervical checks, etc. I see a lot of questionable info floating around there. Would love to see a video about that.
Also, mammograms. I was SOOOO scared the first time, did not help that my mom called it a b**by press. AND it does not have to hurt!!!! I changed places, because at one hospital I would hurt for days after. Another hospital, nope, nada, nothing, no pain at all.
Yes mammograms, especially for people with or small breasts that feel like you're going to have to tear some ligaments and tenderize the thing before it'll go thinner than 3 or 4 inches. Also, what do people with fake boobs do? I imagine there are mammogram operators who take an almost sadistic delight in inflicting pain on people who have fake boobs because of prejudices about vanity or trans women, so how would people with fake boobs go about finding a facility where that isn't tolerated by any of the staff?
One of my cats had feline herpes and we were able to treat her symptoms. We adopted her and didn't know about her condition. We suspect that her former family might have known and just turned her out on the street. She was the sweetest cat ever.
I work at a cat shelter and it can be so difficult to adopt out cats with feline herpes. People often think that they can get herpes (specifically genital herpes) from the cat just be touching it or being around it. 🙄 Occasionally we also have people convinced that they can get HIV from a cat with FIV. I’ve had to stop explaining it to people as "the cat version of HIV” because of that.
Aside from not wanting people to see your underwear (which is understandable) I also feel like folding it up and tucking it in with your other clothes limits the chances of it falling off the chair and getting lost under something. Don't want the appointment to end only to have to search for your underwear so you can get dressed.
Then there are men who plop their dirties down wherever they take them off-on lampshades, doorknobs, kitchen counters. A friend once found her husband’s boxers inside the oven! Was he planning a snack for later?
I had a good laugh about the meme mentioning it taking a lot to gross out a doctor. Twice, my doctor has said "Ew" when I went to see him about an issue. The first time I had Impetigo. The second was a follow up after a dog bite. I had to remind him that he should never say ew to a patient.
I once had to take that medication and saw the no alcohol label. I also had a cold at the time and was feeling terrible so decided to take some NyQuil and go to bed. I completely blanked on the fact that NyQuil has alcohol and I did in fact vomit. Not a great night!
The worst is when someone asks you if you’re pmsing bc you’re mad, etc. and you actually are but THATS NOT WHY IM MAD , but if I say yes it seems like my frustration is just bc of my period hormones so you have to lie and say no so they’ll take your emotions seriously 🙄🙄🙄🙄🙄🙄
Women must smile 😃 and smile 😊 and simper only. No negative emotions allowed. Otherwise, you’re just being a bitch, and yes, usually because you’re PMSing. Now, I’ve never accused a male of having erectile dysfunction when they’re in a bad mood. Maybe we should, though?
I'm a vet tech and the metronidazole/flagyl joke almost made me cry. We use it mostly for diarrhea in the vet world and it's super common. I have to remember that one.
I went to UT and during my freshman orientation, they were giving out tshirts and one of the new students commented how the design looks like a uterus. Could never unsee it 😂
When you said Alyse I will never forgive you I felt personally attacked 😂😂😂😂😂 I convinced my mother(a labor and delivery nurse who has had 6 children naturally) to get a Brazilian after I got one because I didn’t find it that painful but my mom did not have the same experience!
I loved the flagyl joke!! Veterinary technician here; we use metronidazole for diarrhea. We go through tons of it. I’m gonna tell the flagyl joke at work and I can’t wait!!!
There was an older man at church who asked for prayers because he was going to have a lower hysterectomy. Several in the congregation had to leave the room to keep from laughing out loud in church service.
It's ok..earlier this year I told my semi-senile, completely uneducated 60-some dad that I was FINALLY diagnosed with endometriosis after having this mystery chronic ilness for nearly 2 decades..I told him that my doctor was going to schedule a laproscopy to do endo excision and he was absolutely convinced that he had the same thing a few years ago...He went on and on about how he knew he had the same thing and woildnt let me correct him that he doesn't have endometrial tissue let alone need a laproscopic excision. What he actually had was an endoscopy but he was adamant about his endometrial laproscopy.
I had a boyfriend that always said “you know what I hear helps? B*tching about it.” Reminds me of that “you know what helps me when I’m feeling bad” meme 😂
Lol, guys will sometimes bitch if there's no meat in a meal or if things don't go their way in a computer game. Surely we can bitch a bit about our insides getting torn up. :D
Jøåñ Hhh, that kind of reminds me. I would always cry over stupid shit and then beat myself up for crying which would cause me to cry more and it just went around and around.
Saying words in an angry tone helps if you bang your toe (I believe there have been studies about it), so the "getting mad" part of bitching should even help a little for that reason alone
Two things: 1. I sent the wall ripping meme to my friends. They loved it. 2. Could you do a video on having a titled uterus and/or cervix? I want to hear your opinions on the subject, especially regarding getting pregnant.
eatscrickets yes I was just thinking that a video about tilted uterus would be nice. I have a tilted uterus and I didn’t find out until I was pregnant. My doctor told me it can be genetic and it turns out my mom has one too. Fun fact my mom’s OB told her she won’t be able to have kids cause she has a tilted uterus, she ended up having 6. I don’t think tilted uterus during pregnancy is much different than regular ones
lol funny thing about the underwear. when i had my first pap i purposely wore a really pretty pair of underwear even though i was telling myself the doctor isn't going to care or see them. wearing them made me feel more confident/comfortable going into the day
Helping end the shame/stigma of STIs/Sexual health is a huge passion of mine. I'm in nursing school and love ER but also love the idea of being a part of a community that normalizes those conversations.
My son is 4 and has chickens at preschool so when he found out i was pregnant (now 27 weeks) he spent 3 weeks watching my butt when i asked him what he was doing he explained he was waiting for me to lay the egg. He is still not entirely convinced that i am not going to and is very disappointed
My daughter thought every time I went to an OB appointment, they were going to magically make her baby brother appear. She legitimately had a tantrum after each appointment for not spontaneously making a baby appear.
@@mattesongroner5730 🤣 i have to say her idea is way better than real life and every ob appointment i have i kind of wish the same thing
I absolutely love this. 😂😂 I remember getting SO upset at my mom because she couldn’t give me an older brother.. lmao
Omg, so cute! I bet he will be an excellent big brother when you finally laid the baby!
Lol. That's so cute.
Thinking that I only have 12 periods a year seems wrong. It feels like 300
I think because it lasts 3-7 days each of the 12 times!
Blondicakes oml that’s like 84 days of bleeding yeah that hits different
If you have a 28-day cycle, you have 13 per year, not 12.
Lol so true!!!
I have one every two weeks
My daughter bought me a mug for Mothers Day that says..."Of all the vagina's in the world, I'm so glad I came from yours" lol

Oh I now need to get that for my mom 🤣
A mother's day card I got for my mom was telling about the appreciation for all the life lessons a mother bequeaths to her child...

@Joe Dick the egg has to get from the Fallopian tube to where it can be fertilized. So, no it isn’t stationary and just appear where can be fertilized.
@Joe Dick it probably does just slide on down the tube, so you are right it doesn’t do much itself. My bad.
@@brynpookc1127 i was just about to comment that before i opened the replies and saw yours 😂
"Lay babies" is adorable! Reminds me of when my oldest son was three, we were taking a walk after dinner and came across a huge pinecone. I asked him if we should take it home. He looked at me with a serious expression and said
"No, Mommy, we need to leave it alone so it can hatch!".
"Hatch?" I asked
"Yes, the baby raccoon is in there, shhh..."
I'm not sure where my baby got the idea that pinecones were raccoon eggs, but I think it's possibly the most precious thing I've ever heard...but I'm a little biased.
No no! that is the most precious statement spoken by a human I will be retelling this tale
Lauren Moloney lol thank you 😊
Aww that's so cute(≧▽≦)
Awwww my heart 😭😭 can't handle the amount of cute
You just gotta put it under a heat lamp 😂
THANK YOU for mentioning the stigma around herpes. I was raped and I now have HSV1 genitally for life. The amount of embarrassment and shame I’ve felt over it is tremendous. The doctor at the urgent care, who diagnosed it, shamed me for not using protection, and I told her I was raped and didn’t seek medical treatment after, and she told me I should have known better.
i am so sorry you faced all that. hope you are doing well
That's sounds like a terrible doctor wtf
Awe. I'm sorry you had to go threw that!! .. I've been raped before, and it never leaves you... I caught something from the guy that raped me... It fucking sucks!!
Bruh. That doctor is the worst.
First of all, I'm so sorry you experienced that. You should definitely not feel any shame or embarrassment. Herpes has actually been part of humanity since literally before we were homo sapiens sapiens. It's only been VERY recently in human history that people started to treat herpes with stigma. Prior to the advent of medication to treat herpes people just had herpes and nobody cared (just like nobody cares if you get a coldsore), because it was just so common. Almost everyone has some kind of herpes virus in them, it's not even usually part of a standard STI panel unless you specifically ask for it or are pregnant! I think the stigma is slowly waning, it's really unfortunate and unnecessary.
"mammals lay babies"
Platypus and Echidna: What am I a joke to you?
Interestingly she actually told me platypus was the exception. I don't know if she knows Echidna (wtf is that even?? lol) - I'm going to ask her today.
@Mama Doctor Jones they are native Australia animals... Very cute, and much like hedgehogs/porcupine...
As my dad always says: "the only two animals that can make their own ice cream!"
😄
Australian animals are so weird...

@@MamaDoctorJones Your daughter sounds adorable! I would totally geek out about animals with her if I could XD
You should see if she knows about the Okapi. An African, forest animal related to the giraffe that looks like a fusion of a giraffe, horse and zebra 😉
@@MamaDoctorJones Platypus and Echidnas are both monotremes, which are the only egg laying mammals. Their babies are called puggles, and they don't have nipples even though they do feed their babies milk like other mammals. They excrete the milk through pores in their skin and the puggles lick it off. When humans raise the babies, instead of using a bottle they just pour the milk on their hands and let the babies lick it up. Your kiddo sounds awesome!
“Lay babies” made me laugh so hard. That is so sweet.
I actually laughed out loud at the story!
OMG She's So cute. "lay babies" love it
Reading this comment before watching that part of the video was so confusing haha
Lay babies...🤣🤣 I wish....it takes a lot more of effort imo😉🤣
I'm personally planning on laying a baby at the end of august. It sounds like 800% less work than giving birth.
"you having pms?"
"Just because I have pms doesn't mean you AREN'T annoying."

Direct translation from French to English is “launching a baby”… when I learned this I laughed for more than 1 hour. Your lay baby story made me think of that.

When my husband thinks I have PMS he feeds me chocolate. I don't correct him if he's wrong.
How many men cant figure out it only happens every 3 to 4 weeks. It literally doesnt take a genius lol. The only chance he is wrong is if your cycle isnt exact. Mine is usually every 28 days.

That’s a good man.
when I was about 13/14. I was in a really close friend group with two girls. Naturally we all synced up. Then one of them got a boyfriend and he would hang out with us ALL THE TIME. break, after school etc. The poor 15 year old boy was so sweet to all of us and he could tell when we were all menstruating and would bring us desserts from his dads restaurant. So cute! Thanks James
He's gonna make someone really happy someday. I wish I could find a guy like him.😂
I found a guy like that and he was unfortunately an emotionally unstable jackass too. Maybe someday...
Aww this reminds me of when I would sync with my girlfriends in high school. Good times lol Shared misery is better than being alone and miserable
I wonder if the guy was sweet or if it was survival instincts kicking in? :)
My guy friends found out I was on my first period and ordered some chocolate online to be delivered to my house. They only told me after I put on our group chat 'Why the hell did I just get chocolate delivered? I don't remember ordering any.'
One time my boyfriend was staying at my parents' house and had really bad diarrhea at night. My mom was worried about it getting on the bed if he didn't wake up in time, so she gave him a maxi pad to put in his pants. The next morning, he said that he sees why I complain about periods, because pads really pull at your hair down there. He had stuck it to his butt tape side up 😂😂😂
@S.K Kudo for being willing to learn!
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
My younget brother found my mom's panty liners, asked what are these for?
Mom: they are for a sore throat.
Fast forward a month or so and my brother is walking around house with a panty liner taped to his neck...too help his sore throat, of course!!
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
I mean, there is an element of common sense that you'd like to think should come into play lol 😆. A pad is similar to diapers but smaller, so the absorbent side should face your bits. Logically, you'd wear underwear with them, so you have the sticky side against the underwear to hold it in place 🤷♀️
@@fantasieanime I know, I have no idea how he got that so wrong! But at least it was amazing entertainment for my mom and I in the morning LOL
My mom is a OBGYN, which is basically a gynecologist, one time a patient opened her shirt so my mom could do a breast exam, my mom saw that her patient had a very large very intricate tattoo.

When I was a toddler like 2 or 3 years old I found my mom's maxi pads
for some reason my toddler brain thought they were slippers...I took the backing off and stuck them to my feet
I toddled into the kitchen where my mom was having tea with friends...(this was the 80's I'm now 41/f)
proudly sat down stuck out my feet to her and her friends and said "LOOK MOMMY SLIPPERS"
As a female I have yet to live this down and I do actually remember the incidence.
Girl, you're actually resourceful and you're able to think outside of the box 😘
Many years ago when my brother was around 3yo (I wasn't even born yet), he was staying with my aunt & cousins at their house. He liked hiding in unusual places so they'd have to go looking for him, well my male cousin found him inside a dresser where he found he'd stuck his sister's pads(my cousin) inside saying they were airplanes. Needless to say she was mortified 😂
You were just ahead of your time. They actually sell a product like that now, for people who want to be barefoot and still want protection from the ground.
Childhood incident : We were at a fairly popular thrift shop, back in the 80's when my brother and I were young... AND he found an early model vibrating dildo among the toys (apparently someone wasn't playing with a full deck) and when it started humming in his hand, he got really excited and ran off through the store to show it to our mother, screaming nearly hysterically about the "toy rocket" he'd just procured to take home...
...at 11, myself (four years his elder)... I knew what it was, and was stricken with a crippling case of hysterical laughter... rendering me incapable of chasing him down, even if I'd wanted to... though admittedly, for the reaction our mother was going to have (along with every knowledgeable lady in the shop) I didn't want to, either... if I'm honest.
Adult Antics : I'm often finding and restoring antiques for various reasons, and often they entail props for theater and occasionally as "set dressing" for certain bars, themed restaurants, and other places... Among the things I have a constant demand for are "Scary Medical Devices"... Which is a catch-all for just about anything that's obviously from a medical (hopefully surgical) background and the mere shape of it inspires horror in anyone who doesn't (and sometimes anyone who does) know what it's actually meant to be used for...
SO when I found a speculum for a horse at an estate sale (someone was liquidating all the old gear from a horse ranch)... I crowed delightedly and found it easy to afford along with a large-ish box of other random utensils, including several very nice glass syringes from way the hell and gone into yester-years... You can imagine the horror my mother felt when I showed up at the house with that box, and the speculum resting happily on top in all it's stainless steel gleaming glory... for the neighbors, and a large group of family and friends who were visiting at the time, to see...
...needless to say, most of the women knew on the spot what it was (thought not for what or whom it was intended) and began to look a little green about their gills as I unloaded the thing and carried it up to the house... ;o)
I know that there might be a better place to comment this, but I would appreciate a video on different ways that obgyn's can help their patients who suffer from sexual assault based PTSD. And how a patient should broach that subject.
YES, this. So much this. I was trying to find a way to contact her to ask if she'd do that. Also, PTSD caused or exacerbated by doctors. Both can make visiting impossible.
@@eledatowle7128 yes indeed it can, however having that information will give people who need that help an idea on how to get it and finding the right obgyn.
Great comment, my first visit to PP at 16 and the exam (by an unsympathetic woman) was So traumatic, I skip years between visits to this day :(
I have never known what to do. I have a Midwife who delivered my son and I trust her, but still don’t go in every year.
You could better seek a psychiatrist
@@henk-3098 psychiatrists can't preform pelvic exams or paps. PTSD is a disablity that deserves the same level of accomodations as every other disability.
When I had my first pelvic exam, I kept my undies on until she came into the room because I was nervous. When she came in she was like "you'll need to remove those" (she's been my regular dr for years so we have some rapport) and I jokingly said "oh I just thought I'd build the suspense" 😂
Amanda Baker for someone who was feeling nervous, you had a great reply! 😂

The meme about the uterus looking like a Texas longhorn reminds me of how I’ve always thought the Tesla logo looks like an IUD
The Tesla logo totally looks like an IUD and I figure it means there were no women around when they came up with it because no car designer wants their vehicle associated with birth control.
Oh my gosh! It's not just me!
I’m so glad I’m not the only one that thinks this!
The Amazon logo is a penis. Once you see it, you'll never unsee it.
I thought I was the only person that saw an IUD!
When I was a kid (ages 5-12) I went to a private Lutheran school and during our 'sex ed' class when I was 12 we were taught that all STDs would be with you forever and weren't curable and you'd always have them. It wasn't until about 3 years ago (at 21) that I learned that pretty much every STD/ STI except for herpes or HPV was curable. Sex Ed in schools is criminally poor.
True, but I'm thinking it might have scared some to actually use protection and have safe sex. Hopefully...
HIV/AIDS: am I a joke to you?
(And for future reference this is a joke. HIV and AIDS is not.
@@-Annn- Could have also scared people into never seeking help when they have STIs because 'there is no cure'. The kind of school to tell you those kind of lies to scare you from sex is also likely to not promote protection and just tell people to be abstinent instead, imo :(
Don't forget about HIV. That's probably the most serious of them all. (Unless you're rich or live in a rich country where healthcare is a human right, or you live in the U.S. and have very good health insurance. Those people are the only ones who can afford the drugs that prevent HIV/AIDS from being a death sentence. It's still a serious disease though even if you're taking the best treatment.)
@@nowandaround312 if you take medication against HIV you don't get AIDS and you don't pass it on either. If properly medicated HIV isn't really an issue at all. It's a shame that so many people still can't access that treatment
I just finished my Level II of nursing school, and didn't find this channel until late into our OB section. I simply LOVE you!

After finishing the OB section of nursing school, I feel that I am kind of drawn to possibly being a Labor and Delivery nurse. This is fascinating stuff!!! Thank you, thank you, thank you!!
I loved your daughter's 'laying babies' remark. Since she is always testing your knowledge of animals, how about telling her about the mammals that do lay actual eggs. They are called monotremes. There are three extant species all of which are native to Australia and New Zealand. You are probably aware of the platypus, but there are also two species of echidna which look a bit like hedgehogs. Not only do they lay eggs, but they don't have nipples. The females lactate through pores located on bare patches in the fur on the chest. The male platypus is also the only mammal to produce venom which is delivered by spikes on the hind legs. Monotremes differ from more advanced mammals by having a single opening for the digestive, urinary, and genital organs as seen in birds and reptiles.
One time my sister-in-law’s husband was putting away the groceries after a shopping trip. In the early nineties , a brand of period pads boasted that the pads had a peach protection strip to prevent leaks, he put the pads in the refrigerator so they wouldn’t spoil!😂😂😂😂😂

Oh noooo..as an esthetician I can imagine a LOT of things that could go wrong with waxing as far as user error by the provider or a non-professional attempting waxing at home-or lying about contraindications which unfortunately happens fairly often 😞
@@annaquillfeldt5598 yep, that's what I'm thinking. Likely user error by an inexperienced provider or a non-professional trying to diy a bikini wax..
About hiding underwear at a gyno appointment: my hypothesis as a non-psychologist and general non-expert would be that it's a way to maintain some control and privacy in a situation that is very invasive and vulnerable. It seems like a fairly non-harmful and healthy coping mechanism.

The "lay babies" part had me dying!
A couple of months ago, my little brother who is 6 came running into the house all sweaty and panting and excited. I was worried and asked what was wrong and he said I had to come see Charlie, our chihuahua, because "Charlie laid a baby and I think she's about to lay another one!"
100% the cutest thing I had ever heard him say haha ❤❤🥰
Was Charlie actually having babies or was it poo? Sorry, I had to ask!
@@annebruecks7381 she actually was having babies haha. It was weird tho because we knew she was pregnant for a while. She's a minpen chaweenie so it's obvious when she's pregnant 😂 she had this big huge stomach but then for about a week it just disappeared. We didn't know if she had a miscarriage or false pregnancy or what! But by the end of the week with no warning at all, my little brother discovered her "laying babies" 😂💀
Can I just say that as a teacher the critical thinking skills of your daughter is pretty impressive. For her to come to that conclusion that it is “lay babies” with the knowledge she already has is so smart! Well done!
PANGOLINS!
I love pangolins so much and it's a crime how relatively unknown they are. Pangolins are the most poached animal.
Full stop.
Most. Poached. Animal.
All 8 species are either threatened or endangered, and efforts to breed them in captivity havent been very successful.
Some fun facts about them:
They eat ants and termites with their extremely long tongue that is similar to an anteater's. They have the 2nd longest tongue relative to their body size in the animal kingdom. They do not have teeth, and instead rely on a gizzard-like stomach to grind up their food.
Despite the similarities, they are NOT closely related to anteaters at all. They have their own order, which is the sister taxa to order Carnivora, so they are more closely related to bears, cats, and dogs than they are to anteaters.
Their scales are made of keratin, and are just a specialized alteration of fur.
These are some of my favorite animals and it brings me joy to see them mentioned anywhere 😊
I’ve heard COVID didn’t start in a bat, but in a pangolin. So I guess they got revenge?

In one of the pregnancy books I'm reading, the author mentions how weird it is to use language like to "deliver" a baby like it's a pizza, essentially giving the medical staff the honor of putting the baby in the world instead of the mother who did the actual job. So your daughter is on the right track, changing the language giving back the honor to the mother 🙂
Cue the Monty Python:
Scene is set in a hospital delivery room
Pregnant Mother: What do I do?
Doctor (distracted): What?
Pregnant Mother: What do I do?
Doctor: Oh. Nothing, you are not qualified.
My midwife says she “catches” or “attends” depending on how it goes or who puts their hands on baby first. Never says delivers 😂
@@HelloNewMoon The stork delivers, if they were true. Perhaps we do need another term for it. As analogy, pizza delivery it is not.
I would just say "have" or "had" the baby lol.
In spanish the mom is mentioned as active part so unless you use "born/nacer" (when the sentence is talking about the baby as subject) the mom is always mentioned.
The "Lay babies" thing made me think of something my niece said that I've actually adopted into my own vernacular. She called the previous night "yesternight". It was so cute!
I have to say that makes a lot of sense😂 imma use that too😆
Cute. But that's also actually a word lol. Just looked it up on dictionary. com
She's read GRRM in your back haha, such a Song of Ice and Fire vibe!
I used to tutor a second language student who called “the day before yesterday” and “the day after tomorrow” “yesterday’s yesterday” and “tomorrow’s tomorrow” and I think it sounds so much better!!
Adorable! My son says “last day” for yesterday. I love how kids minds work.
Love this channel, too!
I got my period while with my father(divorced from my mother and wasn't with any women) we had to go store grab pads. Without instruction i put the pad on the right way. I feel wierd not understanding how people make thay mistake.
I don't get it either
People actually make that mistake? I thought it was just a joke/ boys not understanding how periods work
@@messibessi11 my cousin who is extremely intelligent did it.
@@walkingtheline1729 :o
What mistake?
Ok your daughter is the best human ever. The second you mentioned that she knows animals you've never heard about I was thinking "someone has to tell this kid about pangolins". Imagine my joy!! They're my favorite animal and more people need to know about them!! Not just because they're adorable and they look like an anteater had a baby with an artichoke, but because they're also extremely endangered and poached for their scales.
It really says a lot about the quality of a man when he sees you're tense or upset and instead of asking "is something wrong?"/"did something happen?" so he can help you, he chooses to ask if you're going through PMS, so he can dismiss you (and not to be supportive).
Yeah one of my ex-bf's did that and it pissed me of a thousand times more lol.
He's trying to gage if he can help you or not by checking if it's the kind of problem he can do nothing about first, just because it's done in an inelegant way doesn't mean it's done out of malicious intent
The bar is so damn low for men
@@Elric509 why would that be the first thing they ask?
Got so confused when I heard the music at the beginning 😂 I thought I accidentally clicked a Simply Nailogical video
OHMYGOSH THATS IT! 😆 I couldn’t remember where I had heard that little iMovie jingle.
Mama Doctor Jones right! It took me so long 😂!
Lol same but I love hearing signature music where I don't expect it. There's a commercial on tv that uses the same music as I do for bath bomb demos lol
I restarted the video/app twice because I thought it was playing two videos 😂
Yes! Thought Cristine took over 😂
A few weeks ago my friends and I were talking about what TH-camrs we watched. Here’s how the conversation went.
Me: you’ve probably never heard of her, but I watch a lot of Mamma Doctor Jones.
My friend: Oh my gosh! I love her videos.
*we continue to talk about your videos while our other friend looks on confused*
My friend: I love when she uses a stuffed animal to demonstrate something.
My other friend: Oh my gosh, your talking about that TH-camr! I love her!
It should be noted we’re all teenagers and none of us are planning on going into the medical field, we just apparently really like your videos.
That's cute lol.
Know what I love most about your channel?? Hearing that things I do or thoughts I have are NORMAL and that MANY other women do the same thing or have the same thoughts. Thank you MDJ! ❤️
As a former Pharm tech, that Metronidazole joke made me pee my pants 🤣🤣🤣🤣 I immediately had to send it to my mom who is a hospital pharm tech. Just so you know, it made her entire unit's day. :-)
The whole rant about the hardship a sperm goes through to get to an egg makes me feel special. Like I must have fought hard as hell to get here, and was smart enough to find an egg. I mean, that's something, I ain't a complete failure
Stan The Man I have a customer at work who refers to himself as “the lucky sperm”, mainly because he was born to a rich family and inherited a lot. But in a sense, I do believe we are all lucky sperms!
I was my moms first baby, at least I won something in life lmao
However unpopular my opinion may be, I have to admit that I don't like monkeys, although I am generally an animal lover. They're generally unclean and untrustworthy. I don't think they are cute and engaging, as most humans seem to, and while I would under certain conditions, keep a lion or a tiger as a pet, I wouldn't even keep a monkey in a cage! The cases described in this video don't surprise me at all!
@@cagrant4472 what?
@@leynaabbey This was actually not a comment on this posting, it was on a previous one. Sorry for the confusion. As to this one all I have to say, is that "lucky" sperm doesn't know what it's letting itself in for and by the time it realizes what's happened, it's too late.
The “acute agina” meme (lol) made me think of an episode of Crazy Ex-Girlfriend where Paula goes to the gyno because she thinks she’s in menopause, but really she’s having a heart attack. In case you need ideas for Ob/Gyn reacts 😂 Season 4, episode 12.
That’s such a good show!
Yes! That was also important to draw attention to symptoms of a heart attack in women, which is often very different than the "Hollywood heart attack" : chest-clutching and falling down. But this is based on men's typical heart attack symptoms!!
It would also be neat if she reacted to "The Miracle of Birth" song from Crazy Ex-Girlfriend.
Other songs from the show she could react to:
"I Gave You A UTI"
"Period Sex"
All of the Cats parody songs
Basically, MDJ just needs to watch Crazy Ex Girlfriend 😍
So funny. But the meme is referring to a Bill Engvall sketch where he's talking about being high on a pot brownie when he gets a call from his mom. She says his dad is in the hospital with acute angina. He mishears it as "cute vagina." It's one of the funniest things I've ever heard. th-cam.com/video/PyOfiLTRAgA/w-d-xo.html
Oh my god when you said “and, Elise” I almost burned my stir fry at why you were coming at me 😂
😆😆
I got scared too! Like wait, what did I do!
Me too lol
I was all "Oh crud, the middle name came out. I'm in trouble!"
Me too! Omg
Fun story: I was prescribed metronidazole and had a mild unrelated cold, so I took some NyQuil. Well, NyQuil contains alcohol! Luckily I didn’t get violently ill but I freaked out so bad I had to call poison control because I was sure I was going to die 😂
I’m a female, who had little to no sex education, never got that permission slip signed to see the puberty video in 5th grade, and was never allowed to talk about anything regarding the reproductive tract (my mom would just LALALALALA if I tried to ask a question). I was almost 17 when I got my first period and I did put the pad tape side up the first time because my stupid mind couldn’t understand how the pad worked. I’ve since solved the problem. Normalize reproductive health conversations with your children. Prevent this humiliation in the future. Thanks for coming to my Ted talk. Love you MDJ. Thanks for teaching me about my body!
Thank you for everything you do, especially being gender inclusive. It feels really nice to be validated by healthcare providers. Just taking the opportunity of catching this video right after you posted to voice how much I appreciate you and your channel.
"...we've only reached the tonsils" had me laughing way harder than I should have 😂😂
I definitely wasn’t expecting that one to be in there. Had me rolling 😂😂
There is actually a case of a woman who was born without a vagina getting pregnant shortly after fellating her boyfriend because she was stabbed in the stomach area by an angry ex (who, I think, walked in on the pair) and some sperm found their way to her fallopian tubes.
To quote Jurassic Park, "Life finds a way".

While talking about herpries and then said "it's just a virus" I laughed. But then remembered that we were in 2020
😱🥴
Awkward laugh intensifies 😂
*herpes evolving rapidly* just a virus huh, i'll show you.
2021 better not have a beer for 2020 to hold, someone make sure before we get too close
The herpes part only reminded me of my cat who has feline herpes 😂
What if herpes was airborne
Why do periods stop mid cycle and then start up again? This happens to me almost every month and I was just curious as to why it happens.
Yea, me too. It stops for 1 or 2 days and even when I check with my fingers there's no blood in there🤷♀️
It wants to trick you bc it wants to stain your bedsheets jk
I always figured day 4 was just playing mind games with me.
Still gets my hopes up every time!
It's because of some tissues temporarily blocking the cervix and therefore, it reduces the flow and it stops and then starts again. Hope you get it now!
This is one of the things they never tell you is normal, just like clots, the brown, rather than red etc.
thankfully, i have had girlfriends that had no problem letting me know where they were in their cycles. that way i was able to run for cover, bring chocolates, coffee and flowers, etc. ladies: giving your boyfriends/husbands/FWB's fair warning is a great thing to do and we really Really REALLY appreciate it.
My wife doesn't menstruate but I do, I let her know when I'm ovulating so if I don't remember my period is coming, she will
I thought there are so many sperm cells because none of them can stop to ask directions.
🤣
here is a funny story that happened to me... when i was a young married women in the early 80's i was having a discussion with my doctor before my baby was born. he asked me if it was a boy would i get him circumcised. i did not answer him because i did not know what that was. i thought men came that way. he asked me if my husband was circumcised and i said i don't know. i would like to thank my parents for the terrible lack of sex education. ha ha
My parents were the same way (born in 1946). I picked up a lot of knowledge from reading and it wasn't all encyclopedias and medical books.
Def not the only one! I was told about menstrual cycles because my mom’s mom hadn’t told her anything. But absolutely nothing else. Sheesh!
I had an American exchange student in my school when I was in high school. She thought it was so weird that no boys were circumcised (not the norm in many European countries) and I didn't even know it was normal to do that 🙈
I'd love to have seen his expression when you said you didn't know if your *husband* was circumcised. XD
English is really weird 😂 I laughed so hard the first time I heard the expression "delivering a baby" as though it was mail 😂
Special delivery from your resident stork.
We call it 'getting' a baby, in my language.
We're getting a baby. I'm off to the hospital to get a baby.
@@Widdekuu91 That just makes me think of "surprise adoption", like sneaking into a room to steal someone else's. 😂
In the like vein, once when my brother was really young, he referred to his teacher having "received" her baby 🤣
Widdekuu91 that is also a weird thing to say
"Laying a baby" is much cuter than "dropping crotch fruit"
I have EDS and I grossed out my doctor during my EDS assessment when I showed her the weird shit I can do with my joints 😂
@Sam yeah
I swear I've trained my eds. I can now turn light switches off with myy toes/change bed sheets with their help. Nothing freaks people out more than seeing people's reactions to me using my feet as extra hands lol
OMG, when you said your daughter always chose an obscure animal, I was like, "Oh, like a pangolin" ...and then it was a pangolin!
Me too
It's my favourite animal and it has been for years.
because i want this kid, i'm guessing i'll get a math whiz trying to enthrall me with equations because i have crap luck.
but fingers still crossed i get a kid like this, please jeebus i could play guess the animal all day and be reasonably content lol
I was just confused as to how anyone could still not know what a pangolin is five or six months into coronavirus having stopped the world in its tracks.
My favourite animal is an ocelot. DON'T YOU DARE GOOGLE IT. THOSE FLUFFBALLS ARE MINE.
Fun fact (that your daughter might already know): the platypus and the echidna are two mammals that actually lay eggs instead of having live births
Plus the plattypus has poisonous claws/stingers? on their backlegs. Pretty weird but awesome animals.
And pangolins have breasts instead of teats.
Yes ! I love these two mammals. They are also so cute too .
Sabine Friedli The males are venomous yes. Echidnas don’t have teats either, they have a milk patch that baby echidnas lick rather than sickle.
I was about to write the same. It's fascinating that, if you see at the chart of the species, platypus is EXACTLY at the division between mammals and birds.
I just found out I’m pregnant, I will be telling my wife that I will be soon laying a baby
Congratulations!

I love the sperm talking to each other meme. It reminds me of the “Look Who’s Talking” movies from the 1980s, which used comedians to give voices to young babies, and always started with a scene of actual sperm traveling up the birth canal on the way to conception, and talking to each other about a “race” as one might expect sperm to be talking about if they could talk.
Even as an adult, it is interesting and funny to me to think about how long a “race” the 8 centimeter birth canal must be for a sperm cell measured in nanometers. To them, those 8 centimeters must be like 80 miles - longer than 3 marathons - no wonder conception can be so iffy!!
I loved that movie lol
I went down a rabbit hole trying to conceptualize this whole thing. It'd be like a grain of rice swimming to the top of the Great Pyramid at Giza, and then going into a hole a bit wider than a semi-truck is long, and finding a moving volleyball in a tube that that's long as the St. Louis Gateway Arch is tall (taller than the pyramid). Using an average of 100 milion sperm per ejaculation, there's usually about 13,777 cups of rice racing up that pyramid.
All women hide our underwear... and keep our socks on in silent protest for being told to undress from the waist down

Thank you for mentioning that metronidazole can interact with the small amount of alcohol in your mouthwash! My doctor and pharmacist neglected to tell me this and by sheer coincidence I watched this video whilst wishing the world would swallow me up because the side effects are just SO BAD.
Thank you for all you do and for saving this internet stranger!
Best ever on “I’m a doctor you can’t gross me out” my mom’s podiatrist could not handle blisters. All I could think of is that’s like a surgeon not liking blood.
I worked as a phlebotomist for a blood bank and we had a doctor who was a regular donor but we eventually had to ban him. He did fine with the venipuncture and letting the blood filled the bag but if he looked at a blood bag is own or anyone else's or the tubing full of blood he would pass out and his heart rate would become extremely low. The last time he donated, he passed out leaving ng and hit the floor hard. His wife had to take him home. She told us about the first time one of their kids needed stitches. It wasn't a very bad cut, only needed three sutures. He met them in the ER and fainted when the cut oozed a couple of drops of blood. He hit his head on the gurney and got a concussion.
He was a hematologist.
.
There is nothing like emptying the collection bottle containing digested blood from the stomach of a person in the process of bleeding out. I don't do drugs, but I would have painted my nostrils with cocaine to avoid smelling that. 40 years later, that smell is unforgettable.
@@michaelc7723 I was doing a vet experience thing that you had to do before enrolling in a veterinarian course at a university, and the worst smell I have ever smelled was a rotten calving.
As in, a vet put her arms into the uterus of a cow with a chain, and removed hunks of a large, miscarried calf inside of the cow that was decomposing.
I ended up getting an ecology degree instead.
There's a great British show about a surgeon with hemophobia. Called doc Martin
Your daughter is the best 🤣
There's a boy in my daycare centre who us right years old and heavily interested in nature and anatomy. He knows EVERYTHING about insects and arachnids. We had a conversation with a couple of children and I was telling them that mammals don't lay eggs. This child looks at me, smiles serenely and says: "Yes they do. Most animals lay eggs. Some just do it on the inside, rather than the outside." We were all blown away because THAT IS TRUE!!!

Dear Dr Mama, I really appreciate the part about removing stigma and shame around STI's. As you were talkin about herpes, I said said to my husband that I have no idea what it looks like. I've always avoided looking it up, cuz I felt like I already knew what I needed to know about it. BUT, I gave it a quick google and I seen it for the first time. And, I'm heartbroken. I feel so much empathy for anyone who lives with it. I can see how much it must hurt. I feel terrible for all the bad herpes jokes out there that make people who live with it feel bad about themselves. It's not fair man.
If it helps at all, most people with herpes are asymptomatic. I had my first cold sore at around 11, and my second a few years ago at age 23. It hurts when it pops as if you got burned with sugar, but after an hour or so, you don't notice unless you touch it.
I had clymidia, I'm open about it because I took meds for a week and now I don't have it and I think that's amazing and shows how amazing medicine has become.
I don't shame people with sti's but before sleeping with anyone I make them get tested and get one done myself, I'm a strong believer in after every sexual relationship getting a check done even if you're 99% you're clean because even if everything's good you get free condoms and who doesn't want more of them?
So one summer when I was about 19 or 20 about 75% of my friend circle got chlamydia. Guess we were all just messing around with each other 😂 I was lucky I didnt but I got tested to be sure. Anyways everyone just had to be open about it and talk about it b/c most of us had it and no one could single out where it started or call anyone out. We just had to make sure everyone got treated, make sure we all were going to be more careful in the future and consider that maybe we needed to branch out our dating pool 😂
I had chlamydia a few months ago and it sucked before I knew what it was, and then we got it treated and life got so much better. Get tested regularly, kids.
@@supersungal2 even better. Use condom inn new relationships and random hookups. Not "i have never catch anything so I won't get anything now either" and end up catching something that has no cure
(Not to mention you probably don't want to make baby with new so/rando)
Also even when chlamydia is treatable, 60% don't cause any symptoms and it's know cause for female infertility when untreated. I would not be laughing at it.
Me before: surrounded by longhorn merch.
Me now: surrounded by burnt orange uteri
"I must share my misery with all my longhorn cousins and it will be glorious!"
🤣

I shave during my period because i hate the feeling of blood in the hair down there
Also the smell
Same here
I don’t shave during my period because it always itches and hurts when it starts growing back. That could be my fault though
You need a bidet!!! Best thing ever for cleaning up!
I shave all the time because eww. LOL
I cant stand my leg hair starting to grow in, like even a little prickly, I cant handle it.... especially if I'm going to sleep or lay in bed... the sheets getting hung up on my prickly legs - and just imagine your clothes or panties getting hung up on prickly hairs down there.
I'm always between shaving and letting it grow down there lol .. because of clothes rubbing or getting hung up on it. Ugh

I love your content and the stones you have to keep on your message. You are truly an asset to the species.
When I was pregnant with my first, my sister in law tried to gross us out by talking about baby poop. We're both in the medical field though so we described, in detail, the amazing trajectory cdiff diarrhea can take when conditions are right. Then my husband described the blood jello he pulled out of a mans bladder. We won.
Kozickih Blood jello??
🤣🤣😂😂
To clarify, I'm not laughing at blood jello, but I'm from a family of healthcare practitioners. Hard to gross us out.
That's something I'd do, or my brother would do. We both love weird, random facts that we can and will use against people..
my mom is an RN and told a blood jello story during dinner. We had to full stop tell her she is only allowed one story about work a day and it should not be during dinner.
Loved this video! Thanks for the laughs Mama Doctor Jones!
Would you be willing to do a video on PGAD, persistent genital arousal disorder, also known as restless genital syndrome? It's such a misunderstood and awful condition, and you are one of the most educational, respectful, and helpful physicians on TH-cam. Our community would so appreciate the awareness and education you could provide to this issue. When you said "a cute vagina is something your doctor should never say to you", it made me think of the 3 different gynecologists I saw that told me they "wished their wife/they had that problem!" when I came to them for treatment and help with a disabling condition. I know several other women who've been told the same thing, largely just because of how poor the name/diagnosis is. It's akin to priapism in men but wasn't even identified as a disorder until recently and faces so much stigma.
Wow, that's awful. Those gynos should lose their jobs.
Wow I've never been this early! Also, could you do a video about gynecological exams? I feel like it's something that many young women are scared of, specially the first time.
Agree! So many people in baby/mom groups ask questions about exams while pregnant as well. They ask about papsmears, colposcopys, group B strep test, cervical checks, etc. I see a lot of questionable info floating around there. Would love to see a video about that.
I second this I was terrified my first time!! Would love to have this!
Also, mammograms. I was SOOOO scared the first time, did not help that my mom called it a b**by press. AND it does not have to hurt!!!! I changed places, because at one hospital I would hurt for days after. Another hospital, nope, nada, nothing, no pain at all.
This is why I havent gone yet 😅
Yes mammograms, especially for people with or small breasts that feel like you're going to have to tear some ligaments and tenderize the thing before it'll go thinner than 3 or 4 inches. Also, what do people with fake boobs do? I imagine there are mammogram operators who take an almost sadistic delight in inflicting pain on people who have fake boobs because of prejudices about vanity or trans women, so how would people with fake boobs go about finding a facility where that isn't tolerated by any of the staff?
"Mammals lay babies, not eggs"

Thanks for explaining how to use pads ive been using them wrong i just stuck it on my skin i didnt realise that was wrong
One of my cats had feline herpes and we were able to treat her symptoms. We adopted her and didn't know about her condition. We suspect that her former family might have known and just turned her out on the street. She was the sweetest cat ever.
Fairly few people even know about feline herpes, so probably not.
Sabrina Loizides-Merideth What are the symptoms??
I work at a cat shelter and it can be so difficult to adopt out cats with feline herpes. People often think that they can get herpes (specifically genital herpes) from the cat just be touching it or being around it. 🙄
Occasionally we also have people convinced that they can get HIV from a cat with FIV. I’ve had to stop explaining it to people as "the cat version of HIV” because of that.
12:10 "I mean you don't just want to go laying your underwear in random places" this is such sage advice for so many life events
Aside from not wanting people to see your underwear (which is understandable) I also feel like folding it up and tucking it in with your other clothes limits the chances of it falling off the chair and getting lost under something. Don't want the appointment to end only to have to search for your underwear so you can get dressed.
Then there are men who plop their dirties down wherever they take them off-on lampshades, doorknobs, kitchen counters. A friend once found her husband’s boxers inside the oven! Was he planning a snack for later?
Meme review? What a fresh new idea! Super fun, can’t believe you just came up with it! 😂
I love how she said “weird flex” after one of the first few jokes
I had a good laugh about the meme mentioning it taking a lot to gross out a doctor. Twice, my doctor has said "Ew" when I went to see him about an issue. The first time I had Impetigo. The second was a follow up after a dog bite. I had to remind him that he should never say ew to a patient.
I once had to take that medication and saw the no alcohol label. I also had a cold at the time and was feeling terrible so decided to take some NyQuil and go to bed. I completely blanked on the fact that NyQuil has alcohol and I did in fact vomit. Not a great night!
Amy Markol Dang. I don’t realize how many products have alcohol in it. That sounds like a terrible time!
The worst is when someone asks you if you’re pmsing bc you’re mad, etc. and you actually are but THATS NOT WHY IM MAD , but if I say yes it seems like my frustration is just bc of my period hormones so you have to lie and say no so they’ll take your emotions seriously 🙄🙄🙄🙄🙄🙄
People just don’t want to take women seriously. We can’t have emotions? We can’t be upset over something someone did? Grrrr
Women must smile 😃 and smile 😊 and simper only. No negative emotions allowed. Otherwise, you’re just being a bitch, and yes, usually because you’re PMSing. Now, I’ve never accused a male of having erectile dysfunction when they’re in a bad mood. Maybe we should, though?
BrynPoo KC I agree 🤣
I read a lovely response a number of years ago “i started my day in a pool of my own blood. Is that how you would like me to end yours?”
I’m a paediatric nurse and I almost died of laughter at the metronidazole joke too!
I'm a vet tech and the metronidazole/flagyl joke almost made me cry. We use it mostly for diarrhea in the vet world and it's super common. I have to remember that one.
And apparently I could be an OBGYN because I hate eyeball stuff and coworkers know to keep broken limbs far away from me.
Your daughter is very intelligent, and kudos to you for supporting her curious mind. Also, "laying babies." Love it. :)
I went to UT and during my freshman orientation, they were giving out tshirts and one of the new students commented how the design looks like a uterus. Could never unsee it 😂
When you said Alyse I will never forgive you I felt personally attacked 😂😂😂😂😂 I convinced my mother(a labor and delivery nurse who has had 6 children naturally) to get a Brazilian after I got one because I didn’t find it that painful but my mom did not have the same experience!
😆😆 I was relaying her message to you
Today I learnt Alyse's have a higher pain tolerance to Brazilian waxes.
My middle name is Alyse, I’m a labor and delivery nurse and I DO not find Brazilian waxes that bad. I have an appointment tomorrow 😂
Your hair style and color looks amazing here!
I loved the flagyl joke!! Veterinary technician here; we use metronidazole for diarrhea. We go through tons of it. I’m gonna tell the flagyl joke at work and I can’t wait!!!

True story asked my Dad how he was said he had to go to a gynecologist?.Dad that's for ladies stuff..he meant cardiologist 😂
There was an older man at church who asked for prayers because he was going to have a lower hysterectomy. Several in the congregation had to leave the room to keep from laughing out loud in church service.
It's ok..earlier this year I told my semi-senile, completely uneducated 60-some dad that I was FINALLY diagnosed with endometriosis after having this mystery chronic ilness for nearly 2 decades..I told him that my doctor was going to schedule a laproscopy to do endo excision and he was absolutely convinced that he had the same thing a few years ago...He went on and on about how he knew he had the same thing and woildnt let me correct him that he doesn't have endometrial tissue let alone need a laproscopic excision. What he actually had was an endoscopy but he was adamant about his endometrial laproscopy.
I had a boyfriend that always said “you know what I hear helps? B*tching about it.” Reminds me of that “you know what helps me when I’m feeling bad” meme 😂
Honestly bitching about it does help sometimes, what definitely doesn’t is telling me to stop whining about it
Lol, guys will sometimes bitch if there's no meat in a meal or if things don't go their way in a computer game. Surely we can bitch a bit about our insides getting torn up. :D
Jøåñ Hhh, that kind of reminds me. I would always cry over stupid shit and then beat myself up for crying which would cause me to cry more and it just went around and around.
What do they think therapy is for? 🤔
Saying words in an angry tone helps if you bang your toe (I believe there have been studies about it), so the "getting mad" part of bitching should even help a little for that reason alone
"I don't think they're inherently dangerous. I just think they're inherently not fun." Lmao mood
As a pharmacy tech and mom who loves dad jokes, i had a good laugh at the metronidazole joke too!
2:34 "they're not very smart" XD and the barnyard music behind that pearl of wisdom... Made me laugh sooo much. Thx
Never clicked that fast on a video! Loooove it! Thanks and a lot of strength to you, MDJ!
Two things:
1. I sent the wall ripping meme to my friends. They loved it.
2. Could you do a video on having a titled uterus and/or cervix? I want to hear your opinions on the subject, especially regarding getting pregnant.
eatscrickets yes I was just thinking that a video about tilted uterus would be nice. I have a tilted uterus and I didn’t find out until I was pregnant. My doctor told me it can be genetic and it turns out my mom has one too. Fun fact my mom’s OB told her she won’t be able to have kids cause she has a tilted uterus, she ended up having 6. I don’t think tilted uterus during pregnancy is much different than regular ones
I have a tilted uterus. Got pregnant straight away. After removing the IUD I didn't even had a period.
lol funny thing about the underwear. when i had my first pap i purposely wore a really pretty pair of underwear even though i was telling myself the doctor isn't going to care or see them. wearing them made me feel more confident/comfortable going into the day
These are so cute! I keep finding episodes I've never seen before, and am really happy when I do!
This randomly popped up for me too!! This one is hilarious
Helping end the shame/stigma of STIs/Sexual health is a huge passion of mine. I'm in nursing school and love ER but also love the idea of being a part of a community that normalizes those conversations.
