    When I was struggling after my (very planned, very wanted) first born arrived, my mother said "you don't have to love him now - what has he done so far other than make you tired and sad? Just be patient and the love will come." Best advice I have ever gotten. The first six weeks were rough and then it all came together.

      Melania Cannon Also, postpartum depression is very real. Even if someone doesn’t have it to the extent of it affecting their day to day life, it could still make you not feel very close to your baby. I like your mom’s statement though, it’s very true. You might love them cause they’re your kid, doesn’t mean you have to always like them.

    My sister had a "Tubal baby" baby after tubal. She found out at 20 weeks. My niece was born end of Sept. They named her Autumn Grace because she was born in Autumn by the Grace of God. My sister said when she told the guy who did her epidural that this was a tubal baby, he asked who the doctor was that did her tubal and when she told him, the guy turned white as a ghost. When asked what was wrong, he said "He did my wife's tubal🤣🤣🤣

      you need to consider though that the 0,8% are usually "the number of women using this contraceptive who do get pregnant", especially considering most people with tubal ligation are at least over 30 this already factors in a "general" probability of pregnancy of maybe 10% (just guessing here). So the odds would be more like 0.1-0,2%. Still low, but not quite as low

You've hated all of our babies. After a while, you're going to love that baby as much as anyone has ever loved a baby, but it won't happen right away. Reese took a few months, but he was a nipple-biter, so I get it..."

    There’s a reason why doctors jokingly call it “tubal litigation”. I got pregnant a year after I had a tubal ligation, even though my OBGYN said, her words, I was tied and fried and it would a miracle if I got pregnant again. Well. The miracle happened, but unfortunately it didn’t stick. I had miscarriage in the bathroom while getting an ultrasound to make certain there was no ectopic pregnancy. Talk about emotional turmoil. Freaked by an unwanted pregnancy on one day, and in agonized grief over the loss of it the next. Hormones never help in these situations.

We were all so excited and surprised because she had her tubes clamped I believe. Sadly pretty soon after she told us the good news and was forced to tell us the tragic news. She had a miscarriage. We were devastated. I honestly still am 😅 I still think about my sibling in heaven. I think it was so hard on my mom she never really talked about it again.

      @@ems7623 it's really not an odd choice of words though. It is unfortunate when we loose a baby doesn't matter what the circumstances are it's 99.9% of the time always a tragedy that we feel very deeply even if the pregnancy was unwanted. Just because we don't want the baby doesn't mean we don't want to birth the baby and give it up for adoption. We don't know the circumstances so we cannot judge. And by the way there's multiple reasons for someone to have such a procedure and some of them are actually medical reasons. My mom for example had to do this procedure because of her health (not exactly sure as she never talked much about it but it was something due to her health) well she fell pregnant with my step dad. The first two months went fine. She was shocked, confused but happy. She was feeling a mix of emotions which were normal. She lost the baby and it was devastating to all of us, especially my mom, so much so she has never spoken about it since the loss. Not a word. It hurt her so badly to lose that baby. So in My opinion using unfortunately is not an odd thing to say. It is unfortunate when we loose our babies. Especially when we haven't even been given the time to wrap our heads around the fact we are pregnant before we loose the baby.

      @@ems7623 I had two previous stillborn babies, one at full term, the other at 28 weeks, ten months apart. Having another baby a year later with medical intervention was terrifying, but successful. After that, having birthed two live children (losing the two in between), I was done with that part of my life. Getting pregnant after having my tubes tied was not in the plan. But discovering I was pregnant again was both terrifying (at first) and then devastating when I lost it. Also, hormones don’t help with emotions around these kinds of life altering events. Hope that clears up any confusion.

      It happened to me too, although I díd feel an enormous responsibility for my baby and was pretty proud that she was mý baby. I just didn't have the 'I'm in love with my baby right away'-feeling. The feeling had to grow.
      Right now, 6 years later, I have a really close bond with my daughter and love her to bits. She's a real mommy's girl now.
      I will probably have the same with my next child (which I will expect in less than 2 weeks).

      My son was a week overdue and weighed 9 pounds 5 1/2 ounces at birth. He was 22 inches long and his cheeks went down to his chest- no neck. He was enormous and not at all cute yet. That took a while:) Not all babies are beautiful, not even to their mamas. I loved him from the start but I'm a realist.
      Incidentally, he was a first for the hospital I went to in several ways. He was their biggest baby since the hospital had opened about 40 years before. He was the first baby in the new delivery room set up to resemble a bedroom instead of an operating room. They had built two nurseries but he was the first to be put in the second. It was a baby boom and the second nursery, up to that point, had only ever been used for storage. He became a mini-celebrity at that hospital and drew a crowd when I brought him in for asthma at 5 months. Everyone had to come see him. It was so strange.

They said I had extremely high protein levels in my blood. To this day, I still don't know what that meant and how it pertained to my miscarriage. It was heartbreaking, but I felt something was off from day one, so I never told anyone I was pregnant. I'm a bigger girl, so I got by with it.

    This is so similar to my mums story, my mum had a “tubes tied” following 2 difficult pregnancy’s with my sisters, 13 years later, periods stopped, weight gain... but had negative pregnancy test. Doctors told her she potentially had a cyst? Had a ultrasound and the doctor said “welp, your cyst has arms and legs” she was 6 months along at this point. They theorised that her operation could have reversed due to a slipped disc that was being treated with traction? Who knows if that’s what happened, but I’m still nicknamed Peggy, as she slipped her disc by bending down to get a clothes peg she dropped.

    Unlike almost every other country in the world, seeing the doctor, even for something like this, could be an extreme strain on the household finances. And that's even with medical insurance.
    So I can totally see why many would choose not to see a doctor, especially when they've had a medical procedure performed that should make it 99.91% impossible to get pregnant. How many would toss the equivalent of a month's worth of food out just to find out if they are part of the 0.09% that slipped through the cracks?

Getting general and waking a few hours later with my husband holding a baby definitely affected me more than I could have expected. It took close to a month before I felt like I did with my first baby within a couple days. It's an adjustment and I have great support from my family.

    You can not begin to understand how happy I am to have stumbled across this channel. I'm a fourth-year medical student, and I just finished my Ob/Gyn rotation a couple of months ago, and, it was one of the most wonderful experiences of my life. This comment is probably arbitrary on the platform of the TH-cam comment section, but I wanted you, Mama Doctor Jones, to know just how much respect I have for you and what you do. The Ob/Gyn I worked with was a young mom, and let me tell you, seeing her crush it as an obstetrician, gynecologist, and surgeon, while also fulfilling the role of a mother of two kids, was the most awe-inspiring things I've ever witnessed. To all the laypeople out there, if you've ever met a female ObGyn who is also raising a family, then you've met a real-life superhero, because it is a feat to do either well, and superhuman to do both well.
    That was long-winded, but Mama Doctor Jones, I hope you know that you're a special kind of person and I love your channel. Keep being your wonderful self (:

      There's an old term, "change of life babies." Apparently it used to be not-uncommon for a woman to unexpectedly get pregnant in her late 40s, just before menopause. Apparently all the hormonal changes can create a sort of "final surge" of fertility in some women. That happened to a friend's grandmother - the baby was largely raised by her much-older siblings!

      It's a cultural misnomer to state women having babies in their mid 40s is unusual. Here in northern Europe it is normal to begin your periods from 8 and finish in your 60s, with pregnancy occurring into a woman's 50s. My own grandmother had her last at 59. Women here often don't plan to have children until their 40s and do so naturally. In different parts of the world reproductive viability changes dramatically according to genetics.

Works all morning, out to lunch around 1pm with one of my future godmothers (I have four) and she’s the one that told my mom “you’re in labor and we need to leave now.” They go to the hospital through the ER, it’s the door they were closest to. Walk in talk to the check in nurses at the desk and everyone (like five people) yelled “don’t push!”. Wheelchair to maternity, within 15 minutes I’m out. She gave birth half dressed in her business suit. I’d like to point out I’m her SECOND kid and joke about “how didn’t you know?

The only I do and know is that your period does not stop all at once, they became less normal until they finally just stop

  • @sarahleonard7309

    I want to thank you for always taking the time to explain that not every mother has an instant, magical, euphoric love of their newborn and that feeling anxious or numb is just as common. We put a lot of pressure on mothers without realizing it, and they can feel very guilty for having a completely normal reaction to meeting a tiny little stranger. I know my inner monologue sounded a bit like a hostess: "Hello. Glad to have you with us. I am Sarah, and I will be your mother tonight." Honestly, the magic kicked in when he finally learned how to talk and I started learning what amazing stuff was going on inside his head. If you're keeping score at home, that took a while.

      I honestly can't imagine feeling that way. i don't see why you'd be all crazy over something that's caused you pain for 9 months, will drastically alter your life from now on, is kinda ugly and will be screaming constantly which you'll have to deal with its shit and vomit for even more months, and you're stuck with it for 18 years. Seems pretty illogical to expect everyone to go "WOW YAY I LOVE IT IM SO HAPPY."
