After I had my second baby, I developed PPD around 3 months postpartum. I felt alone, and my feelings eventually turned into suicidal thoughts. I felt like a crazy person. I would be driving and all the sudden I would have a thought to crash my car, or if I was alone I would imagine hanging myself. These feelings lasted for months and eventually turned into horrible thoughts toward my daughter. Writing this is so painful for me, but honestly, we don’t hear about this enough. My husband finally convinced me to see my doctor. I called my OB’s office and they said the earliest I could see her was in two weeks. I would not have made it. I ended up seeing a random doctor at my general practitioners office, but he was amazing! He was an older man, and as soon as he walked in he hugged me and told me I’m not alone. I was prescribed a low dose medication and I started it right away, and guess what?! It worked! The next day I felt like myself. It was like a switch was turned on inside my head. That doctor called me the next few days to see how I was doing, and told me he was praying for me and checking to see how the meds were working. He saved my life. Over the next few months I saw a psychiatrist and a talk therapist. If you’re experiencing ppd please get help! There are so many resources!❤️
Yes the same thing happened to me right after the birth of my son .
You're amazing for talking about it, and sealing help!
My baby is now a month old, and I'm so worried it's going to creep up. Iv had depression as a teen and young adult, and I'm worried I'm more susseptable to it
THIS!!!! NOBODY told me that this could happen! I had a 4th degree tear, my baby was extremely colicky, my nipples cracked and bled, AND I got mastitis! All of that interrupted my bonding with my baby. Worse, I felt like I had somehow caused these things because my birth and postpartum experience was NOT the earth mother, Hallmark movie vision I'd been fed and had expected! I ended up with terrible PPD and like you, I felt like a crazy person. Mine was severe enough that I required hospitalization. I'm SO thankful that you had a wonderful doctor who made it a point to tell you that you were not alone! And I'm grateful that you are still here to tell your story so other moms know!
I love that you brought this up. My sister was not aware of any of these when she delivered her first baby. I made it a priority to make sure she was okay before asking about the baby. I called her every night to make sure she was okay, brought her food and cleaned her house when she didn't feel well enough to do anything. I cleaned her C-section scar and made sure it healed properly. I took her to appointments and let the doctors know what I noticed that she wasn't telling them. Your videos help me be a better sister, aunt, and eventually, mother. Thank you
That’s awesome that you looked out for your sister. So many people forget about the mama as soon as baby gets here, but they had a lot of big changes too! 💗
Can you be my sister?! Wow you’re the BEST!! Sometimes women who give birth just deal with whatever come WITH and AFTER childbirth
@@magdalenadiaz495 Absolutely! I would love to be your sister!
Breonna Robertson You are truly amazing! I just had a c section in September and needed someone in my life like you. I was alone and it has caused me to greatly struggle. I will definitely remember this for when a friend or one of my sisters go through this 💕💕💕
Can’t like your comment enough. I wish I had a sister especially a thoughtful one like you.
It’s kinda crazy but after I had my babies my dad was the only one that asked how I was doing/feeling. Of all people, my dad is not the type of person I would think would be asking this. He’s a very manly/ men don’t cry, prison guard. Lol. But all everyone asked about was the baby & it was nice to see someone still remembered I existed and I just went through a very big thing in my life. I’m due with my third in may & I’m curious to see how it goes this time around.
Aw, that’s super sweet 💗💗. It’s so important to remember that you still exist and went through something huge and life changing! Congrats on baby #3!
Nurse Zabe thank you 😊💕
Ugh i haven’t even had my baby yet but ive just become the pregnant lady to people and it’s vaguely upsetting cause im more than just that i still have a name and identity outside of being pregnant
I so appreciate this video as a lot of people don’t talk about this.
Thank you for watching and make sure you talk about it with your friends who have babies!
This video is seriously so important. Postpartum, I had one person really ask how I was doing - and that was my husband. Everyone was so consumed with how baby was doing (which she was completely healthy btw) that they forgot to ask me (the person who pushed a tiny person out of their body) how I was doing. I tried to not read too much into it but looking back I may not have known if something wasn’t “normal” because I had nobody asking how I was doing. Postpartum is so crazy and every aspect of it needs to be talked about - especially this. Thank you for sharing! ♥️
Yes, typically everything does go normally, but when it doesn’t you need to know what to look for so you can get the care you need! 💗
Thank you for bringing awareness to this important issue. I had preeclampsia with my first born so I was aware of the signs. So this past pregnancy my doctor's and I were more vigilant. So one week post partum I had a headache that would not go away. I ended up getting post partum preeclampsia it was so scary but I'm so glad my baby and I are healthy 💙
Oh my goodness, that is so scary! So thankful you were so vigilant and found these issues quickly!
I never knew about post partum pre-eclampsia x
The audio overlay of "discharge " had me CRYING. 😂🤣😂🤣
Lol. I tried 😂😂😂😂
I love your videos. im pregnant with my first baby and watching your videos make me feel more prepared
christy ward same here! Having my baby on this 30th april! Feeling so much confident watching all her videos
Y’all got this! 💗💪🏼
Thank you for posting this video. After a tumultuous premature labor I thought I had crossed the bridge and could focus solely on my twin boys in the NICU. However, the day of my discharge I sat in the car as my husband drove me home I kept telling him I was super cold (it was over 100*F outside and 99 inside). I made him turn off the A/C and turn on the seat warmers for my chair and I still did not have the light bulb that said hello!?! you have a fever. To make the story short I waited 4 hours before we made our way to the ER. My husband had to call 911 from our car because I started to blackout and at that point he had already checked my temp which was at 104 and rising quickly regardless of the frozen vegetables behind my neck and under arms. Needless to say I am glad we left when I realized my temp at 102.5 at the house was a cause for concern, but I wish I had been more proactive and told my husband something was not right earlier that afternoon. TRUST YOUR INSTINCTS because it was that doubt that made me wait 4 hours and in all honesty it could have been a lot worse. I'm still recovering, but happy to say I am feeling much better. >>>It was an infection
When one of your fav youtubers (Nurse Zabe) mentions one of your other fav youtubers (MDJ) 😁🥰❤️ thank you so much for making this video! So important for people to be educated.
Thank you SO MUCH for this video. And for the other videos. The fact that medical professionals (other than friends, and I'm so blessed to have nurse friends) will not come to my home to check on me is the #1 thing I'm concerned about. This is *life-saving* especially for us Mamas of color! 😍😍😍🥰🥰🥰 Thank you!
I’m pregnant with my first baby (due in July!) thank you for educating us!! I watch all of yours and momma doctor jones videos!
Congrats!! Good luck with your delivery and postpartum period! 💗
Nurse Zabe thank you!! ❤️
Helen Hines congrats to you too!! 😍❤️
You should also check out the Sarah lavonne videos
Laura Maier I actually love her as well!!
This is so vitally important to talk about. I’m working on my Masters in Public Health with an emphasis in Health Policy - some of my most passionate topics include health disparities & infant and maternal mortality. Thank you for bringing these topics into the light, where we can talk about them, take away some of the unknown, and advocate for policy change. I can’t think of anyone more important to advocate for than our moms and babies.
These videos are honestly so helpful and so needed for the care of new mums. Thank you so so much for all these information videos, one day they're going to save lives!!
I hope by spreading info and education we will all be more aware of potential problems that might arise. Thank you so much for watching 😊💗
I wish you had talked more about other types of infection! I had an episiotomy that became infected after the stitches tore and I didn't realize it... I thought that much pain was normal! I also got mastitis within my first week postpartum and thought my low fever and sore breast were just because I was engorged from my milk coming in. Don't try to just push through your symptoms, mamas! Take care of yourself so you can take care of your babe!
I mentioned mastitis, but cut it for time. 🤦🏼♀️🤦🏼♀️ Sorry you had to go through those rough infections after delivery!
Really good information! When the OB gives the run down of what to watch for before leaving the hospital, it’s kind of a blur, so this is such great information! I love your videos ❤️
Thank you so much nurse Zabe! I think this is one of the most important videos you’ve done, and also one of the least discussed. Healthy moms = healthy families. I know this is such a hard topic and it’s going to upset people, thank you for pushing on!
Thank you for the way that you approach there subjects in your channel. I feel so supported and confident when I finish watching your videos. You are amazing❤️
💗💗💗
I am SO glad I found your channel. I’ve been a nurse for over 10 yrs but I know VERY LITTLE about later stages of pregnancy, childbirth, and breastfeeding! Our son was 3yrs old when we adopted him so we missed all of the newborn stages also. Now that we are expecting (something we never thought would happen) I’m having to learn a whole new set of skills. Your videos are SO helpful & detailed (and I love your sense of humor).
Wow! Congrats on your pregnancy!!! Glad I could help you learn some of the smaller baby things, but have a nurse for a mom means that your kids are good to go, in my book 😊
I had a baby 11/30. I spent Christmas un the hospital with multiple Pulmonary embolisms/blood clots in my right lung. I had no symptoms of a DVT. And the early symptoms I had of a PE I easily attributed to other things. I didn't go to the ER until the pain was pretty severe and even then it was just for pain relief not for symptoms of blood clots, even though I had a slight suspension it was a pulmonary embolism. I was sent home on a trial basis on blood thinners and told to return if anything worsened. It did and I still didn't call 911, which I should have, because I didn't want to be a bother or seen as overly dramatic (I had my husband drive me in and he had to do the whole TV/movie scene of running into the ER yelling for help). I really wish that was talked about and emphasized to moms - seeking medical care isn't being overly dramatic. I have a great OB who sees patients every 2 weeks in the postpartum period. The ER and hospital staff when I was admitted, were fantastic and never made me feel like I was being dramatic or wasting time but I still felt like I was. My nurses and doctors were shocked at the amount of pain I was having, it even frightened them. And yet I still feel like I just need to suck it up and deal with the pain/symptoms. We really need to emphasize women seeking medical care, no matter how minor we think the symptoms are. I'm very blessed to be still alive after having multiple PEs.
Thank you so so much for all that you do! You have given me so much peace of mind and education along my first pregnancy journey. Somebody give this angel a raise!!! :)
I am due in March 14 with my first bby n I have seen almost all of ur videos. U r the best I didn’t know much abt a lot of stuff n I thank u for sharing that with us. Keep up the good work.
Your exclusively pumping videos really saved me! My girl is 7 weeks old, im exclusively pumping and your videos helped me so much!!x
Aw, mama! A truly selfless act of love. I promise it does get better/easier. You got this! 🍼 🍼 🐮 💗
I always look forward to your videos thank you for being such a great educator and giving us the info we need. I am due March 14th (three weeks 😬) with my second girl. Being well informed is what gave me peace thru my first labor and delivery. Anyway thanx again ❤️ keep up the great work 😁
Thank you so much for watching! Wishing you a healthy and safe birth in March!
@@Nurse_zabe I love your videos so much I share them in my mom's group on FB just so the other mommy's (especially FTM) can be better prepared 😊
Thank you so much for this. 💗 I loved your comment about EBL vs QBL. I suffered a PPH and found what was documented didnt add up to the amount of units of blood I needed and how bad my shock was. I am an OB nurse as well & really like this form. Might try to implement it where I work!
I enjoy your videos so much! Im due April 23rd with my first baby and I've learned so much from watching your videos!
Thank you SO SO much! I'll print this out and put in on the fridge as suggested. It's a great reminder to watch out for these things and also to take care of myself and not just baby. Thanks so much again, I've been watching your videos since pre-baby and now I'm due in July! I'll definitely reference your videos throughout my first months after baby I'm sure!
You are so welcome! You’ve got to take care of yourself too! 💗💗
In the Netherlands we have post partum care at home for 7 days. It was so helpfull educational and comforting!
I’m so glad i found you! Love taking notes on your videos and asking my OB about them. I’m due in June 😭
Such an important video ❤️ I had severe preeclampsia that came out of nowhere right at the beginning of the third trimester. I had no idea the signs I should’ve been looking for. I kept telling people “ugh I’m so nauseous but that’s pregnancy” or “oh my I can’t breathe but that’s pregnancy” I did not know something was wrong until it was really wrong and I went to the ER with a bp of 195/110. Luckily I was able to keep baby in for four days and was able to get steroid shots for his lungs and he is doing amazing. ❤️ I am now 3 weeks postpartum and am still recovering on bp meds and now blood thinners because I did end up with a pulmonary embolism also and am anxious everyday that something else is going to go wrong. It’s so important for people to know what to look for.
Kierra sending love and prayers your way. I went through a similar experience when I gave birth in October. Keep your head up, accept help, and know that in time you will be back to normal even though it feels impossible now. 💕❤️
Alana Ogden thank you so much ❤️
I really needed this today. I’m due with my second in April and I’ve been crying myself to sleep every night terrified I will die. I am so scared of leaving my first baby behind. It’s been consuming my life
Katie Rivera I can understand. I am pregnant with my first due in August. I am so scared to die and leave my baby and my husband alone:/ I try not to think about it as it will only make it worse. Just pray and have faith it will all be okay🙏🏻 After this pregnancy I am done having kids as pregnancy and childbirth is terrifying. I am sending you love and prayers and stay strong! Don’t cry or stress the baby out. You will do great🙏🏻
Me too I thought I was the only one I just cry at random times thinking about it I'm due in August with my second and if I survive I won't have anymore children I'll update later
I just started watching your channel and... Thank you!! I'm trying to start a family for my fienceé and I and I'm honestly so scared of whats to come after, so watching these videos honestly put my mind at ease. I have so much anxiety in my life and hearing Someone talk about warning signs is just awesome, it's great to know what to look for if by chance something was to be off. Also you're so pretty! I love your blond hair! I have darker blond hair so I'm always jealous of people with blond hair like yours! Keep up the amazing work with your channel!!
Good luck with starting your family! It’s scary and exciting and wonderful! And my hair is naturally a bit darker too, but I get highlights 😂💁🏼♀️
Your time Is great:) I’m 13 days postpartum baby 3. Comforting to know what to look out for.
Love the Mama Doctor Jones shout out! I love following both of you, and it has been such a help during my pregnancy and my labor. Just gave birth 6 days ago to my beautiful rainbow baby girl! Thanks for the video to remind myself the information they gave me at the hospital.
Congrats on your sweet baby girl! 💗
Nurse Zabe Thank you! She’s pretty precious. 😊
i got an infection from my c-section that was underneath my incision and the only symptom i had was a crazy temp. i ended up having to spend 4 days in the hospital and i had to have a picc line placed where i received iv antibiotics for the 4 weeks following. all this while trying to take care and bond with my newborn. scariest time of my life but i’m very thankful that i’m better now and that i had nurses tell me what to look out for once i went home. ❤️
Taylor Berry Wow! That is so scary! I am due in August and some women’s stories scare me so bad:/ I am currently on blood thinners as I got a blood clot after my 1st miscarriage which was very scary. I have had 2 miscarriages so this is my 3rd pregnancy. This baby is going strong which I am happy🙏🏻 This is my first baby and after this I am done because pregnancy and childbirth can be very scary. Glad you are doing well. I am sending you prayers🙏🏻
Thank you so much for the care you showed presenting all of this info. So valuable and I’m sure life saving for some XX
In Australia (public system anyway - completely covered by medicare, not sure about the private hospitals) we get a visit the first day we get home from a midwife (who are all qualified in Aus), and then a nurse comes around later in the week, and then we go see the nurse another couple of times before the offical 6 week check up. SUPER grateful for our system, and our maternal morbidity/mortality rate is much lower.
Super jealous! That sounds amazing.
Really good video about such an important topic which needs more awareness raising so women know the signs. Be really good as well to talk about some of the other conditions that can occur that are not so common for example retained placenta. Also general rule of thumb if you are not feeling well don’t just think it’s normal say something and tell people so you get checked. Better to be checked and everything ok than to dismiss things and get really poorly.
I would love to see you collab with Mama Doctor Jones! Please! 💗
About 20 years ago my best friend passed at home about 2-3 days postpartum. I went on to birth six babies and I am currently expecting my 7th. I have lived in the fear of that and admit I still never got properly educated about prevention. I really appreciate this video right now more than words can say. Thank you.
I just found out that the obgyn that delievered my last kod in 2010 lost his liscense to pratlctice for post partum hemoraging and dismissing all the signs in the first 24 hours. Sadly she did pass away due to his lack of care. Now, I do not know what changed in the 8 to 9 years since he delievered my baby because he was on top of every thing with blood loss and infection post partum. Great,video and its awesome to see this information get out there!!
Wow. What an important video! Thank you for making this video.
I have schizophrenia and I’m doing fertility treatments currently, I’m very nervous for pregnancy and postpartum but I’m very close with my therapist and psychiatrist. I’m hoping for a happy, healthy pregnancy. I’m staying on my medication because the benefits greatly outweighs the risk.
Thank you for this! It can be really difficult to tell, especially for us first timers, what’s normal and what’s a problem. When I miscarried, all the women around me kept saying “Oh yeah that’s totally normal” so I didn’t see my doctor until weeks after the first twin was lost. At least I finally started listening to my body and made an appointment so we could terminate the second twin. But if everyone hadn’t been telling me not to worry, I wouldn’t have had to bleed and suffer for 8 weeks!
Thanks for this! I had heavy bleeding recently about a week and a half after giving birth. I ended up going to the ER and the dr did a procedure that found out I had left over tissue. I had no idea this could happen and I was so scared of what was going on at the time!
Love your videos! I guess I just got lucky and had three of these in one pregnancy (preeclampsia in pregnancy, incision infection then PE after) 🥴. I really wish providers would emphasize more things to look out for post-partum (really knew nothing about potential PEs), and provide more support for the moms and their health after giving birth.
I love MDJ videos!
+mammadoctorjones
ThNk you for talking about this on your channel!
Thank you for the information
Loved this video. ❤️❤️❤️
In Nov 2015, my husband’s sister died suddenly, a week after she gave birth to her second boy; she was just shy of 26. Just after delivery, she had FIVE exploratory surgeries, and went through 14 PINTS of blood, because she kept bleeding out, but they couldn’t find the cause. They finally found it with a blockage in her spleen, which they removed the organ entirely. My husband was active military at the time, with us living in NC, and our families in MI. He got to be there for her in the case anything did happen. He even told her about our early pregnancy, and she was SO ready to be a spoiling aunt for us (FINALLY!) 😊 she was able to go home, spent about a week with her new baby, but had been complaining about back pain issues. Her docs said that it’s probably just pain experienced from afterbirth and the surgery, and her prescribed pain meds weren’t working, but it got severe enough to rush her to the hospital...she died in the ambulance...later, an autopsy showed that she suffered from an aneurysm, close to where they removed her spleen...I know that this was a VERY rare occurrence for any momma to experience, and one that NO ONE should endure like my family did. My father-in-law passed away 10 months after she did with a heart aneurysm, and we found out that his side of the family died from aneurysms in various places, so they are now considered genetic. My husband has to be scanned thoroughly every couple of years with cardiovascular, neurological (brain), and other body-system checks to see if he develops one too. So far, nothing yet, but we keep praying that our family still stays alive long enough to be a family...so PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE...DON’T BRUSH OFF PAIN THAT DOESN’T GET BETTER!!! Call your doc or 9-1-1 about ANY pain that’s not just localized in your chest, because you may have the “silent killer” without EVER knowing it. The toll is too great for anyone to bear, and our family has made do with adjustments, but things will never be the same...I sincerely apologize for scaring y’all with this, but don’t hesitate for help to let it happen to you 😕
Wow very informative, thank you 🙏
I love your videos ! Is there a way you can make one on breast pumps that you recommend, that would be such great help!
Can you please do a video about prepartum depression I haven’t seen anyone talking about it just one person we need more information about it. I think I had it with my pregnancy
Thank you so much for your videos. They have been so helpful for my pregnancies.
You’re so welcome!
It is important! Thank you!
💗
Thanks for sharing 🍀
This is validating. A day after I was discharged (vaginal delivery, 1 day hosp) I got a 102 degree fever. Verified on second thermometer but I felt freezing and awful too so it was definitely accurate. I took tylenol and took a shower and went back to the hospital. By the time I drove the 40 min to the hospital my temp had gone down to 99 degrees and they acted so skeptical that I was there! I found it pretty baffling that I kept having to justify getting checked out 🤨
I had severe complication and almost died 3 times on my son’s birthday. I pushed for 5 hours with assistance of the vacuum and an episiotomy. I then said we needed to do a c-section. I think my uterus was tired because after I was stitched up I started hemorrhaging. I was unconscious. They airlifted me to another hospital and I nearly coded in transit. The doctors at the new hospital. They decided that I required an emergency hysterectomy in order to save my life. After that I was placed in ICU and coded due to hypocalcemia. That was 5 weeks ago. I’m doing much better and on the road to recovery. The doctors weren’t sure if I would ever wake up after coding or if I would even be able to live without being a vegetable.
Alix Wallingford My goodness! So sorry you went through all of that, and I’m glad you made it through. Please reach out and talk with a counselor about your experience when you’re ready to, that’s something that will need to be talked through and processed. I hope your family is taking good care of you while you recover! 💕
13 days postpartum and I have found that as soon as the sun goes down, my anxiety really sets in. Babe has had bad gas and trouble sleeping and I get so scared about how the night is going to go.
Carolyn Harwood So sorry you are going through that. Stay strong! Maybe put some night lights around your home and a hatch sound machine that you can have fun and change the lights from your phone:) Have a game or show while you are with your baby so you can also be distracted. Sending you love and prayers! You got this momma❤️
could you do a video about cholestasis in pregnancy? It's hard to find a good informative video with facts that isn't either boring or terrifying!
Yes! It’s on my list!
I am 3 weeks postpartum, this is my 4th pregnancy. I am still having some bad swelling in my legs and feet.. swelling in other parts of my body but not as noticeable. I am breast feeding and no problem with that. I do not have any feeling in my urethra, it’s pretty much numb. I do not feel when my bladder is full and I get pain in my stomach and back when I have forgotten to empty my bladder. Initial peeing i Can not feel the pee coming out until my bladder is almost empty. My pee has somewhat of an odor but it’s not super clowdy. My stomach is pretty sore to the touch.. but i don’t have any serious cramping. I had pretty bad nerve pain during my pregnancy but I still have lingering pain from certain nerves like tingling in my upper thigh area and sometimes in my feet. Elevating my feet feels like a sand bag that is emptying, but as soon as I stand up again take sand bag goes back down. Are my symptoms normal?
I just had my 3rd child in October and he was born at 11pm. They asked me in the morning if I wanted to go home. If I had said yes, I would have been there 13 hours post birth. Since I almost died from an infection and fever (105.4) 10 years prior after the birth of my 2nd, I opted to stay.
Scary! I understand you wanting to stay.
I had pre eclampsia and post partum pre eclampsia. I was in the hospital for 5 days, 8 days post partum.
Can you deliver a breach baby in a hospital? Will they allow it? Other risks?
That is an excellent handout! I noticed that one of the reasons to call 911 is seizures. I have epilepsy and, while I have been advised to go be checked out at the hospital for any seizure I have between now and delivery (due in October), I've had 4 seizures so far (not necessarily unexpected due to hormonal changes, etc.), based on the handout - seeing that seizures can be a symptom of eclampsia - tells me to not just write off a seizure postpartum as an epileptic seizure, but to still go ahead and call 911. Would that be correct?
I would chat with your OB and neurologist and figure out a plan that is specific for you. Eclampsia can occur both in pregnancy and postpartum. Most people only think of it being an issue in pregnancy. Good luck with the rest of your pregnancy!
I was induce at 37 weeks due to cholestasis. My water broke I dilated and everything pushed for 5 hours and did it all natural and baby did not come. He was stuck. And needed emergency c section. They then told me I had to take off all my piercings I had so much. some couldn’t come off and they called someone to cut it off. Eventually it came off and went straight to the surgery. It was brutal for me. But I went through it on both sides since I pushed for so long I got tear and stitches and all. But I was prepared but wasn’t for the c section. I am three weeks postpartum and I feel like I did get postpartum depression for the first couple days. It was so bad. I just didn’t know how to handle it. I don’t think I still do. Going through all this and now still recovering it’s so hard.
Wow, it sounds like you had a very intense delivery! If you are at all concerned about postpartum depression, I urge you to reach out to a counselor and your OB for assistance. You shouldn’t have to go through this alone. 💗💗
Nurse Zabe trying my best to take it one day at a time. I do have a great support system. Thank for educating me on many things I always watch your videos
With infections...I had purple fever with my oldest. It was terrifying. I had 104 fever and was shaking so hard I couldn't walk. If you get a fever, go in. Immediately.
Terrifying. So glad you’re ok!
This is some important content that I wasn’t aware of and thank God I’m watching this before my due date. I’ve never heard about this in my life and nor the doctors refer this to me yet.
But I have one question... My mom had pre clampsia when she was pregnant with me. In her labor she had a convulsion and almost died. Can I also be in risk of having pre clampsia because my mom had it? Can someone that suffered from pre clampsia during pregnancy, suffer again from in in PP?
Thanks a lot for this video, you’re a precious nurse and human being with such kind heart! 💕
Often this information is reviewed after your delivery, which is why you might not have heard of these things. Pre-eclampsia may run in families, but the exact link is unknown (as is the exact cause). You can continue to have pregnancy pre-eclampsia after you deliver, and we tend to what these mom closely and have them set up earlier follow-ups post discharge. I hope I answered all your questions!
Nurse Zabe I understand perfectly! Thank you 🙏
I had pp hard with my first baby. Nobody could grasp why I was feeling the way I was. It was so isolating. I had it with my second but not as bad and I’m worried I’ll it this time around (due 9/28). Nobody cares about how the mom is feeling, it’s all about baby. Which is fine, babies are cute. But I just went through something as well. Women need more support.
You’re right, women do need more support. Hoping this next delivery goes well for you 💗
When does postpartum depression go away? I’m 5 months postpartum and I think I’m still dealing with this.
I echo what Helen said above. Go talk with your OB or midwife to set up some counseling and possibly medications. You deserve to feel awesome after having a baby. 💗 I have a whole video on PPD if you want to check it out. You are not alone.
Helen Hines I’m not big on the getting help part. At one time I wanted it and I reached out to my husband but that was a big fat fell. He didn’t understand and really just said I was overreacting. I definitely think the worst is over. I think a lot of my depression is marriage issues. But unsure. I don’t have help with my twins and the first 4 months was horrible due to a dairy allergy, colic, acid reflux and torticollis. I also have a two year old. I was a happy cryer when I gave birth to him.
Helen Hines ty and I guess just how I was raised. We didn’t talk about our feelings much. It was a suck it up and go on kinda thing. People in our area think we are a perfect couple. And I try to keep that going but behind closed doors we just fight all the time. He works an 8 hour job and he says he’s not working and then coming home and taking care of babies all day long that I’m the mother. And if I confront him about it I’m picking on him and he says he does help me. I try to be the best mommy to my children as I can be and I would never hurt them. So it’s not that like. I’m just sad most of the time and I cry a lot.
@@momtoanangelboytwinsdogsan1731 I totally get that you've got a mental block about getting help. I was that way for a long time myself. I....don't want to upset you, but at least for me I think that was rooted mostly in my personal ego and pride. I had to put that down to get the help I needed. And because you're reaching out on YT, it seems that deep down you know that's what you need to do.
Don't pretend to be perfect. You're not doing anyone any favors, including yourself and your little ones!
Finally, I'll share what was a game-changer for me: sam-E. I took the Nature's Trove version, it's on Amazon. Look into it if you want, it could be an option.
Lots of love! Isaiah 9:1-2
hey Nueaw Zade or anybody that could help i"m 28 weeks pregnant and my doctor subscribed me progesterone to prevent premature birth because my 1st was a preemie and this is my 2nd and i can tell that this one isn't a preemie I am much bigger my amniotic fluid isn't leaking they did an ultra sound and they said everything looks fine and I asked my doctor what is progesterone? what does it do? all she said is it prevents you from having a premature birth and I said ok but does it strengthen your uterus or cervix? But she couldn't tell me she just kept saying it prevents you from having a premature birth so because she couldn't really answer any of my questions I just don"t take them and I lied to her about taking them and she"s kind of a bitch so I don"t know how to tell her come my next appointment because I told my husband and his dad that I lied to the doctor about taking them and they said you cant do that you have to tell your doctor that your not taking them so anybody know what progesterone is? Is it a vitamin a hormone? how dose it prevent premature birth? Will it affect the baby? Will it make labor harder or slower?
I hope this explains it a little better for you. www.marchofdimes.org/complications/progesterone-treatment-to-help-prevent-premature-birth.aspx#
Can you get PPD while you're pregnant?
Yes! Although it’s called peripartum depression. If you’re experiencing depressive symptoms I definitely recommend talking with your OB or midwife. 💗
Thank you for throwing out the statistic about moms of color! It’s an issue that needs to be addressed, and is why I can’t wait to start my L&D career this summer.
Really? After they go home, women aren't seen by a health professional until 6 weeks???? That's scary. In the UK midwives come to your house every few days, starting from the day after you get home.
Yupppp. It’s not great 😩
I just sent you a Dm on Instagram 💓 when you get the chance can you please look at it?
I just responded. 💗💗
Nurse Zabe, what are governmental relations like in the nursing/medical/healthcare field? Is policy change being attempted through professional organizations and committees??
I've been really enjoying your videos. I am 43 years old and 15 weeks pregnant. I would really appreciate it if you would do a video on labor and delivery for older moms. Thanks again for all the great information!
