@alyssastern6073 Natural Births are save in most cases. Especially if she is already that close to giving birth. Most C-Section are the result of failed inductions or a too long labor (when Mama doesn't have any energy left). Even breech Babys can be delivered vaginally, if a doctor is present, that can intervene if necessary. And if labor is at a certain point, you don't even have to push any more. Its called fetal ejection reflex. You just can't stop it, if you are that far into it. Your Body is going to push that baby out, even if you are trying everything to keep it in.
I know it’s difficult, but she needed to see her child be born. If she’d have been given a C-section under anesthesia, she would’ve continued to reject the baby and continued her denial.
I love that the psychologist and the midwife nurse stepped in. I know the OB was worried about the baby but, if she had took just a minute to listen to the mother she would have realized that her denial was because of some trauma. The woman clearly was healthy enough to push out the baby. The c section was unnecessary and should be the last measure especially if the mother had the capability to push. She was so guns a blazing about calling legal to force a c section. That would waste time and money and any surgery is risky. If she just listened for a second and had a better bedside manner, she could have taken care of the mom and baby without anyone else stepping in.
I definitely noticed how it had to be the blk medical professional to step in and had respect and dignity to the patient. Not every pregnant person is willingly impregnated so I like how this showed she wasn’t just some girl out her having sex and getting pregnant by any and everybody.
I do not think she is a nurse she is a midwife but I could be wrong. The male psychiatrist said that she is a midwife to the female doctor so who knows.
@@Joe-ny8xqwe should care less about babies than the mother. I’m so serious after roe v wade being repealed. Women prioritize your existing self idc what men think or say about it
What personally gets me about the OB is she was so quick to jump onto the idea of a C section. It makes me feel like she’s overconfident in her abilities which is infuriating. It doesn’t matter how many years you’ve been practicing medicine, that doesn’t mean risk is automatically out the window
The woman was 8 cm dilated meaning that baby was coming any minute. If the woman is in such denial over being pregnant then she's not likely to cooperate and that puts the baby at risk. They were running out of time and needed to do what's best for the baby.
@@TimberlakeTigerGirl The OB literally stood in the back as the nurses held her down not once ever being considerate or respectful to the patient or even trying to understand why she was in denial. Obviously the episode was written this way to show how if the doctor had made her feel somewhat comfortable like the others did the baby would’ve still been fine.
The way doctors are so comfortabke just assaulting patients who dont do what they want is astounding. Youre gonna take away her right tobdecide for herself because youre impatient?
I think that's a cop out. There are many ways to achieve the goal; some are kinder and more empathetic than others. It's easy to simply say "it's policy" instead of treating people as human beings. This is exactly why so many black women die in childbirth... the system refuses them humanity. Thanks for your comment, @@TimberlakeTigerGirl
@@samiraazzahir9963 Thank you the person u replied to is trying to make it seem like the OB was in the right but obviously since the baby was naturally born that should cancel out what the OB was trying to do. I’m glad that the doctors took maybe a few minutes to get her somewhat comfortable to push showing how compassion can positively affect a situation. People are really dense sometimes lol.
I'm afraid there's the policy to override a patient's decision when they are proven, beyond reasonable doubt, to be incapable to make a rational decision.
May the Holy Spirit be your daughter’s peace and comfort as she continues to live. Remind her that she is not and will never be alone. God loves us and even though bad things happen in this world, He is still in control!
Even if they would have did a c section she would have rejected the baby and said they went to find a baby and is now saying she had a baby she needed to see and feel the baby physically to know that she has a baby
C sections are a serious surgery with consequences. They are an incredible medical procedure when needed, but when they are not it is horrible to do them on a healthy patient…
Right I agree with you! if it’s a emergency or somethings life threatening which is why they do c sections I don’t think any doctor would actually advise someone healthy to do a c section usually it’s if it’s making the health of the baby or mother life threatening etc preeclampsia could be a reason or high risk reasons too but I know what you mean yeah
You are right to worry. My child suffered severe clinical negligence at the hands of terrible midwives, nurses and doctors. They are now a severely disabled adult and the organisation who did it are still denying liability. They will have to accept and settle eventually but that doesn't take away the emotional pain and trauma.
REMEMBER YOU COME FIRST. When I was pregnant, I had a midwife who didn't care. I asked questions and she made me feel stupid. I moved on to another doctor who was kind, who listened, and treated me like a person. I've been her patient for the last 4 years. Trust your gut. If something doesn't feel right, do whatever you can to move on until you feel comfortable.
Don’t settle if you are uncomfortable in any way. My first office of ob/gyms were a bunch of biznatches. I changed and was so much happier. They were causing more stress than the pregnancy.
As someone in the health care field communication is the master key. Not just an hour or two of talking but actively taking for a multitude of hours throughout the pregnancy. Make sure the OB is someone who is "riding the same wave as you" and is fully aware of what you want and has your conversation details documented. If you want someone in the delivery room with you bring them along (for the longer talking appointments) and make sure they also have a relationship with the doctor. Lastly let the practice know ahead of time (better yet same time you are making your appointments, not the day before) if during your appointments you would like to spend an extended period of time discussing your birthing plan and to make sure the appointment time is adjusted for lengthy conversations and questions (they will appreciate this more than it being sprung up and would be more likely to take the time to truly listen as it will fit into the schedule).
The OB showed the same disregard like her attacker. No say so in regards to her body, no patience to find out what’s going on, looking to save baby and not mother….. it’s all disheartening
I did not receive prenatal care for none of my different cryptic pregnancies and they are all amazing i am so honored to have my three beautiful daughters on different cryptic pregnancies.
This episode is a great depiction of what black pregnant women go through during child birth. The most heart breaking being that young woman and husband whose baby the doctor decapitated pulling him out of her womb. Im tearing up just typing it. Its 2024 and we cant do better than this? What the actual fuuuuuuuuuuk ......as for the OB, I see alot of ppl saying shes horrible. Not really. If the mother wasnt suffering from cryptic pregnancy, she would have no legsl right to even persue the court order. But being psychologically unwell it is her JOB to advocate and deliver a healthy baby. That episode on law and order if the woman would not stop drinking ling enough to give birth to a healthy baby. After already birthing a son suffering from fetal alcohol syndrome, is a true story. The woman wA held in a mental hospital until she gave birth by way if court order through her husband. He subsequently divorced her and was awarded sole custody. The real mother didnt commit a crime so she dodnt go to prison. I like to think the mother that episode is about, went to rehab. And slowly entered her sons lives again. But hey....you never really know. But the courts and doctors when dealing with a diseased brain take precendent over the patients civil rights. In both cases their disease directly harms the baby making decisions to protect the baby paramount, and given precendent.
@@misslanapaulford she said her dad lost his job and was drinking she couldn't fight it anymore so he kept taking it from her to her yes that's the worst 😔
Stuff like this happens. . An ob doctor has decapitated a baby due to not listening to the mother when she was telling them something wasn’t right and all they told her to do was to just keep pushing and then yanked on the baby. There’s girls and women being taken advantage of by close people in their lives and can’t ever do anything about it because other family members feel it’s family business no need for the law . It’s not just fiction

You did watch until the end right? Where she said her father sexually assaulted her many times? She didn't want to have that baby because of the circumstance. So reasonably she was in denial. But it's clear that she either didn't have the resources, or didn't want to go out and have an abortion. Anyways she gave the baby up for adoption
It’s not a lie it’s literally called a cryptic pregnancy. Why does every man make a generalized statement about women when they know nothing? Been putting women’s lives in danger for centuries making assumptions and never listening.
That midwife was exactly what was needed. She came in, gentle, non-judgmental.
That "hey sis" I love it
She acted with care for both the mother and the baby ❤
❤❤
Go Tiffany!!!!!!! That’s David and Tamela Mann’s daughter. She’s an amazing actress.
Wow I didn't know that she's amazing ❤
I said that the girl looked familiar..wow. Good job
Oh wow! She did an awesome job
She def looks just like Mr.Mann
I didn't know that
She needed to see that baby come out. A forced C-Section under full anesthesia would have had her reject that child just even more.
Exactly
I think the point was that they did not know if a natural birth was safe as it was too late to even determine.

@@franziskaways4956 I’ve heard that doctors never recommend a breach birth to be delivered vaginally.

Come on Tiffany Mann ‼️‼️‼️
She didn’t use her parents name she made her own career and I think that is so dope.
