Congrats mama. Feeling those little kicks totally makes it more real. Wait till you can see him/her moving through your belly! It’s just wild!! So glad the videos are helpful. Pregnancy is certainly a roller coaster of emotions and some anxiety is normal-but if you ever feel like it’s getting out of control, talk with your OB about it!!
Im in my third trimester and just made an appointment with our soon-to-be Pediatrician for a prenatal consultation/interview! Would love a video about what to ask/expect when meeting with your pediatrician for the first time :)
After almost 20 years of PCOS and fertility issues, I found out I am pregnant with my first baby. It happened naturally after Clomid etc....didn't help! Really enjoyed this video!
Congratulations!! Happy for you and your baby I always find that when people let it happen naturally and don’t worry and stress about it that’s when it happens for you I’m glad you finally got what you want and you should have your baby by now so I hope all is well with you guys ❤️
@@mrsbreazy7413 Thank you. She is 3.5 months old and a true joy. The high risk pregnancy went very well, no complications. Her birth went excellent. I am so thankful for this little blessing.
I'm 26 weeks pregnant with my first baby. I am so thankful for these videos. They are so informative and you both have a great clam energy. Cannot wait to see more! Also would love an educational video on SIDS. That is what I am most terrified about
Flat on back in crib with nothing but crib sheet Turn on a fan if possible and use sleep sack or fleece footies to keep baby warm. Bam. how to prevent SIDS Or bassinet
This is so informative! I'm 33.1 weeks (due May 25) with our 2nd daughter but I have forgotten all this since she's 7 years old. Prayers to you both for a safe and healthy baby and delivery.
We are so so glad you found it helpful! They say baby number 2 is like riding a bike right? It all comes back to you!! And I bet your 7 year old is just so excited and will be such a great little helper!! Sending love and prayers to you as well!❤️
Oh that is so great to hear. Thank you for sharing and congrats on making it to the third trimester! Cheers to the first time moms club and figuring this out together. ❤️
I live in the middle of nowhere in Nebraska, so there are no pediatrician close by. My doctor does everything, she is my family doctor, my ob, and pediatrician for my kids. These videos help a lot to ask questions though.
I’m not currently pregnant but planning for it. I’m really enjoying binging your videos. I’m learning SO much. I appreciate all the work you both put into this channel!!
This is so informative and authentic...... I am 14 weeks pregnant and your videos make me so comfortable and confident. I watch your videos and then discuss those topics with my OB and that has made me trust her more. Good luck you guys👼🏼
I'm 36 weeks pregnant with baby number 2 and ready for delivery!!! 😂 I believe no 2 babies are the same and it's always good for a refresh and more baby education. Thanks Doctors!
WOOHOO!! Congrats mama! What exciting news! It has been a really fun (and at times terrifying lol) journey for us so far. Hopefully you find these videos helpful and if you ever have questions--just holler! Hoping you have a smooth pregnancy!!
The fact that delayed cord cutting is now becoming standard is good news. When I gave birth the first time in 2011 I asked for delayed cord clamping/cutting and the doctor treated me like I was crazy. Basically told me I would bleed out and possibly die if they delayed cord cutting.
I do not think my babies had blood screenings that had results reported much later. But they did require a hearing test done at the hospital before we left - this was not mentioned as one of the tests in this video. Also, we could choose to do any vaccinations at our pediatricians after going home instead of in hospital.
Thank you for this video. Really helpful information. My 3rd and final baby arrived so quickly that I gave birth unassisted in the hospital parking garage. This resulted in my baby not receiving a medical evaluation until 10-15 mins postpartum. There was multiple concerns about my baby’s health but so far so good.
So glad it was helpful! Congrats on your pregnancy and welcome to the first time mom’s club!! So excited for you to meet your baby girl! Sending you wishes for a smooth rest of pregnancy and delivery!!!
Thanks for explaining newborn screening. I think many prospective parents are unfamiliar with what is done and how it differs from preconception and prenatal genetic testing.
I hope lot of people watch your videos. It’s really informative and educational! Thank you for all of your videos! I am in my third trimester and i am learning a lot of things from you guys. Keep up the good work Doctors! Thank you 💞💞💞 Love
Going to be a first time dad in about three weeks and watching your videos have done two things, easer my mind but also made more questions arise! Keep the good stuff coming you guys are super helpful!
That’s something I wanted to do if I ever had kiddos but I worry doctors will bash me. I don’t want to decline vaccines. But I do want to delay cord clamping
They did delayed cord clamping for me and my first baby because I'm anemic and they wanted to make sure baby got more blood. She was tested for anemia and showed that she had a small amount anemia
FTM here due next week and I've been watching your videos since my 2nd trimester. Thank you so much for putting out helpful content from a medical perspective!!
I'm 24 weeks along with our first little one! My husband and I are so excited! We're a wee bit older than some having kids, so it's been even more important in our hearts and minds to make sure we're prepared to know how to best take care of myself in pregnancy and also as we prepare for Little One to arrive in May! Thank you both for these videos. Just discovering your videos in the last 24 hours and am so grateful for this information!
I have my last OB appointment before I'm induced on Wednesday!!! I'm super excited and nervous! Thank you so much for your videos. They are very helpful.
Thank you for making this very informative video! I always wondered what the evidence was behind these routine procedures. Doctors in my area are always in such a hurry they often forget about the "informed" part of informed consent. This video was very helpful, especially for a first time mom with pathological anxiety- Thanks again! ❤
Thank you so much for sharing all of this knowledge. I am 25 weeks pregnant and appreciate this information so I have an idea on what to expect during my post birth hospital stay. You guys are wonderful!
I see many oral vitamin k supplements in the US. I’m not causing a baby unnecessary pain because nobody made any studies showing that the oral supplement CAN work good when used frequently and given in high enough doses. I don’t agree with erythromycin at all and don’t want to do it
As a nicu nurse I have never seen a pediatrician at the warmer during a delivery, a neo doc sure if the delivery is severe like with a micro premie but from my experience a pedi doesn't get involved unless baby is good to go and mom is transfered to post partum unit
Thankyou so much for making these videos they are so informative. My hospital is no longer doing parenting or birth classes because of the pandemic and I was worried I wouldn’t get the info I needed. This has helped so much ❤️
I just found your videos so I'm sorry if you have already done one about this but you should do a video on the first few days when baby needs extra help (so when it's not a normal experience). I had high BP during pregnancy so my obgyn chose to induce me at 35 weeks. I needed up having to have a C-section because my baby was in distress once the pitocin was started and was born at 3lbs 15oz. I wasn't able to hold him for 30+ hours and we spent 6 days in the hospital. I would love to see a video on what a pediatrician wants a parent to know in this kind of situation.
Love this! No one talks about this at all during pregnancy at least none of my people have. This was Very informative and I had no idea about over half of these. I’m 34 weeks and have plans to be induced right at 39 weeks.
The vaccination for hepatitis seems more prudent where I live (Latvia). In the third trimester the mother is tested for HBsAg and if the test is positive or is not done (e.g. premature birth) only then the shot is done. Because, where else would the infant get the hepatitis during the first year of life, if not from breast milk?
I would sincerely love to hear you two and Dr. Paul Thomas have an open discussion because I think it would be civil and helpful to people on the fence about vaccinations. Would you consider this?!
It can be transferred through bodily fluids. It is not just an STD-altough that is a common form of the disease transmission. The mother could have it or be a carrier, and there could also be some mess that leaves the baby exposed to it without caregivers being aware. Hope this helps.
Google it. It's not transmissible via kisses and huggies. Not even saliva (low chance). Just Google it. I had the same question. I will not be giving my baby a Hepatitis B shot, wtf
This is so educational and so athententic as well as helpful! Thank you for sharing. I am pregnant with my 2nd Babe and I didn't even get this much Information so I really appreciate your videos.
Hello, I’m so happy I found your channel! I’m currently 14 weeks pregnant with my rainbow baby boy and I’m a first time mother. Could you guys do a video on car seats and cribs you recommend? I would appreciate it. Btw love your videos!
CONGRATULATIONS MAMA! Welcome to our channel--and the first time mom's club. We are totally planning a car seat episode and we will add crib/safe sleep options to our list of videos we should do! Thank you for following along with us and sending you smooth pregnancy vibes. Hope you are feeling well!
It honestly seems doctors stay away from the topic which is truly unfortunate. As though they might be shunned for speaking out or diverting from their training. I enjoy their videos so far and hope that they might speak on this as people, parents and from their observations/experience with women and children rather than from the “medical system’s” perspective/“training”
How sad that doctors have been putting babies at a disadvantage for many years by routinely rushing cord clamping and only now this practice is finally going by the wayside.. doctors are seen as the experts but they aren’t always right about everything. In this case, midwives and the natural birth movement were right all along to not rush cord clamping. Goes to show that both midwives and doctors can learn from each other if they keep an open mind.
So I just found out a week ago that I’m going to be a dad … I always thought I’d be exited and I would be but my wife is very childish and immature I wasn’t ready to have kids with her even though I wanted them but she is so childish I jumped right into protective mode I wanted to take care of both of them and help them and have them both healthy and happy but being new I was researching all the things related to taking care of the baby and her but every time I tell her my findings from multiple doctors and even my sister In law who is a OG/BYN she instantly gets mad and argues and refuses to listen I’m trying to be the good helpful guy but all I get is anger and bs even before the pregnancy it’s just worst now idk what to do I’m trying to help her and my child but I’m almost like I don’t even wanna try she’s just a angry person who don’t even give things a chance and has a unrealistic view on things I think I would have actually been excited about kids if it wasn’t for her childish behavior I’d actually be excited but I’m not anymore please any advice would help
Hep b vacc lasts for years. It goes way beyond the newborn stage. As they age and are exposed to other children and adults, you can see why it's important. Not every person they encounter is going to be "clean". Children are especially gross becuse they touch everything and stick crap in their mouth and share it with others. Hep b is transmitted by ANY bodily fluid.
I have a very important question, for all these test.. is it required for baby to leave room? I really don’t want my baby to leave the room at all given time unless nicu
Oh my goodness! How was it? I hope you are snuggling your sweet babe right now and that breastfeeding (or whatever feeding) you are doing is going well. That first week is SUCH A BLUR. You are in our thoughts mama. Congratulations!!
Thanks for this! Do you both think hospitals could delay cord clamping until the placenta naturally comes out (delayed by an hour possibly) Also can the apgar test be done quickly on the moms stomach? If the Apgar test score is low can the pediatrician do what is needed on mom and not away from her?
I think It`'s your an babys right not to be seperated. But unfortunately it's not guaranteed in the hospitals most of the time. You should really make them clear that you don't want to be seperated with your baby. Midwifes for homebirths on the other hand test the baby while your're still bonding :)
How often would you need to revaccinate newborns with the vitamin K supplement? Is it just for the first 24hrs and if they are not at risk for the bleeding is it not needed after that?
You only have to give it once if you do the shot--the injection is a big boost of vitamin K and by the time they would need more they have gotten some extra from their diet, etc. So they don't need it again!
@@TheDoctorsBjorkman I like oral more because less pain for babies. Like the nasal flu shot. I know now they sadly stopped recommending the nasal one but it used to be nice to have a pain free option. Especially for small kiddos and babies. I was a tough kid and didn’t really care starting at age maybe 5-7 but many kids Reaaaally Do and get super upset
Would Kurt be able to make a video about heart arrhythmia’s in an unborn baby? My baby girl is having PACs so I’m doing weekly bpp’s to keep an eye on things. I also have GD. I didn’t deal with either of these issues with my first so it’s stressful to say the least. But being in the cardiology field for babies, I’d like to know his take on this subject.
If Mom already has had the Hepatitis AB vaccine, such as Twinrix, two years before birth, would the baby have the antibodies, or would it still be recommended? Thanks for all your informative videos!
Congratulations on your sweet boy! Halfway there--that's so exciting! I did get the Covid vaccine! I got both doses of the Pfizer vaccine back in January! We talked about our decision making process in this video: th-cam.com/video/D9kKw45BJ60/w-d-xo.html
I am 13 weeks now but got my 2nd booster dose of Pfizer at 4 weeks pregnant. Baby is doing well so far and NIPT testing came back clean! I would recommend getting it as I was exposed to covid at work the next week and luckily evaded catching it! Also talk to your OB if you are worried about potential risks.
I'd be curious if vitamin k is higher in plant based moms. When I log my meals occasionally in the chronometer app I blow vitamin k out of the water. It just seems weird that for thousands of years there were no vitamin k shots and in most other ways breast milk is perfectly adapted for babies.
Vitamin k doesn't pass from mom to baby. Even if mom takes crazy amounts if vitamin k, the baby will have none. Makes me wonder if it happens for a reason?
Thank you for your wonderful content! I’m about to give birth in a week and wondering how much time should be balanced between delayed cord clamping and cord blood/tissue collection? Too much delay and the cord blood/tissue collection won’t have enough sample. Thanks!
I definitely think all newborns need that CHD screen. If they had done something like that when I was born almost 49 years ago, they would've caught my CHD instead of us waiting until I was 2 years old to figure out something was wrong and actually not knowing WHAT the problem was until I was cut open for heart surgery when I was 9 in what turned out to be a severe problem they thought was initially something small. Be glad technology has gotten to the point it has so medical professionals can know ahead of time what to expect in case there is a problem. Back then, my mom didn't even have an ultrasound when she was pregnant! When I was pregnant with my miracle baby, he had a fetal ECHO to see if there was a problem before I gave birth. Then he had another one when he was 2 to find out his heart is normal even if he has an incidental murmur. If he had something wrong, we would've caught it and had proper interventions in place, including changing the hospital I gave birth at so we would have pediatric cardiologists just in case.
We are also so thankful for the advances in medicine and screening, as it can prevent a lot of heartache and difficult medical treatments. It is amazing that pretty simple technology can let us know ahead of time babies could have a major issue. It sounds like you had AWESOME care for your son, and that you truly appreciate it--having been through all of the surgery for your heart yourself. Glad to hear you BOTH are doing okay.
Never put your baby in the car seat while still in a sleeping bag. Out of the sleeping bag, into the seat, do up the seatbelt, ensuring straps are straight, flat, firm fitting, not twisted. Then you can tuck in a blanket over the top.
Genuine question. Aren't formula-fed babies essentially receiving "oral supplementation"? So if the risk is almost zero for formula-fed babies, why isn't oral supplementation good enough?
Im 35 weeks pregnant and i didnt know about any of this these videos are very informative gotta get my hospital bag ready still got alot to do. Question do you prefer to have newborn baby sleep in the crib or a bassinet i have both just not sure which one she should sleep in first
I’m a teenager that’s pregnant with a boy and I’m about to turn 30 weeks but I haven’t been able to gain any weight I’ve been eating more frequently since I’ve been prescribed medicine for my nausea but I still haven’t gained weight. What do you recommend me to do because I’m worried about my babies health and my own health.
I hope you were able to deliver a healthy baby boy since your comment is a year old 💖 but always discuss these concerns with your Primary care Physician/OB as based on your prenatal care and tests, they will know what is best for you and baby! Wishing you and baby well 🥰
Doctors can be very intimidating when declining any of those! I’m pregnant with my first and I already feel the pressure of what they believe NEEDS to be done!
@@lifebrarian OMG!!!! That’s horrible. I am declining eye ointment. No thanks haha. And I decline Vit K because I just want to give them the oral one. Less pain
Hi! 😊I just recently found your channel and I love how educational your videos are! I’m a first time mom currently 28 weeks pregnant and planning on exclusively breastfeeding and pumping I’m really considering getting baby vaccinated with the vitamin K shot when she’s born. My question is that if she gets the vitamin K shot at the hospital do I still have to give her vitamin K supplements daily while I breast feed?
Congrats on your pregnancy and being in the third trimester! You are on the homestretch. I love that you are going to try to exclusively breastfeed and pump! I’ve heard it is hard but so so worth it!! To answer your question-if she gets the vitamin K shot in the hospital, you do NOT have to supplement that daily while breastfeeding! It’s a one time shot in the hospital and they don’t need it again. If you are exclusively breastfeeding, it is recommended you supplement either you or the baby every day with Vitamin D. You can give the baby 400IU daily (it comes in a liquid form and you use a dropper) OR you can take large dose of vitamin D yourself-6400IU daily and that is enough for you to pass it to the baby via breast milk! Hope that is helpful. We will definitely be doing some videos about breastfeeding once our little one arrives and we have some “real life experiences” to share!!
@@TheDoctorsBjorkman thank you so much for your reply! 🙂 I have another question will you be doing a follow up video on the COVID 19 vaccine during pregnancy? Now that their are more studies on this topic? I guess my main question here would be is there any long term effects for baby or mom by getting this vaccine? And I’ve also heard of people having still births from having the COVID vaccine. Is that even possible?
@@Martha21-o7r With all do respect, how would anyone doctor or not know if there are any long term effects from the covid19 vaccine? That goes for anyone... Including pregnant women, children or adults. The vaccine has not been around long enough to know. To date its been around for a tiny bit over 1 year. So, that's all anyone would have data for.
20 weeks pregnant and I just felt the baby kick!!! It’s feeling more real. I love all your videos, they really help lower my anxiety.
Congrats mama. Feeling those little kicks totally makes it more real. Wait till you can see him/her moving through your belly! It’s just wild!! So glad the videos are helpful. Pregnancy is certainly a roller coaster of emotions and some anxiety is normal-but if you ever feel like it’s getting out of control, talk with your OB about it!!
just hit 20 weeks myself 🥰
Congrats sisters!!
I’m 11 weeks now and all I feel so far is like having stomach flu only without the fever 😂😂
It's the most precious thing ever watching your belly move each time he or she hiccups or kicks 😍
We could see my oldest kick around 16 weeks way early you would see my stomach bounce when I was on my back when they kicked it was super weird
Im in my third trimester and just made an appointment with our soon-to-be Pediatrician for a prenatal consultation/interview! Would love a video about what to ask/expect when meeting with your pediatrician for the first time :)

Question…if delayed cord clamping is recommended by ACOG why is it just not standard? Does a mom have to request this at time of delivery?
Because they want to cut it straight away to get more blood with placenta so they can use it later
That’s something I wanted to do if I ever had kiddos but I worry doctors will bash me. I don’t want to decline vaccines. But I do want to delay cord clamping
It’s the standard at many hospitals

Can you make a video on all the shots baby gets in the first months of life and yalls personal opinion on them?
It honestly seems doctors stay away from the topic which is truly unfortunate. As though they might be shunned for speaking out or diverting from their training. I enjoy their videos so far and hope that they might speak on this as people, parents and from their observations/experience with women and children rather than from the “medical system’s” perspective/“training”
So glad to come across your channel, thank you for the information.
25 weeks, and I can't wait! time seems to move slowly
Good luck!!!
I Love watching all of your videos! Trying for baby #2, 20 years after my first baby was born and I’ve forgotten ALL of this info. 😅
How sad that doctors have been putting babies at a disadvantage for many years by routinely rushing cord clamping and only now this practice is finally going by the wayside.. doctors are seen as the experts but they aren’t always right about everything. In this case, midwives and the natural birth movement were right all along to not rush cord clamping. Goes to show that both midwives and doctors can learn from each other if they keep an open mind.
Do you have a video about circumcision in the hospital?
So I just found out a week ago that I’m going to be a dad …
I always thought I’d be exited and I would be but my wife is very childish and immature I wasn’t ready to have kids with her even though I wanted them but she is so childish I jumped right into protective mode I wanted to take care of both of them and help them and have them both healthy and happy but being new I was researching all the things related to taking care of the baby and her but every time I tell her my findings from multiple doctors and even my sister In law who is a OG/BYN she instantly gets mad and argues and refuses to listen I’m trying to be the good helpful guy but all I get is anger and bs even before the pregnancy it’s just worst now idk what to do I’m trying to help her and my child but I’m almost like I don’t even wanna try she’s just a angry person who don’t even give things a chance and has a unrealistic view on things I think I would have actually been excited about kids if it wasn’t for her childish behavior I’d actually be excited but I’m not anymore please any advice would help
My fiancé and I plan on trying for a baby after we get married next year! Already starting to prepare haha
Thanks so much!! Love your videos, SO helpful!
26 weeks and nervous for what comes next after he comes out and what I do!
How could a newborn get hepatitis if:
Mom is negative for hepatitis
They aren’t sharing needles..
They are not having unprotected sex..
Exactly
What I wonder
Hep b vacc lasts for years. It goes way beyond the newborn stage.
As they age and are exposed to other children and adults, you can see why it's important. Not every person they encounter is going to be "clean". Children are especially gross becuse they touch everything and stick crap in their mouth and share it with others. Hep b is transmitted by ANY bodily fluid.
How did you guys met, you are such an adorable couple
I have a very important question, for all these test.. is it required for baby to leave room? I really don’t want my baby to leave the room at all given time unless nicu
Getting induced tomorrow! I can’t wait 💞
Oh my goodness! How was it? I hope you are snuggling your sweet babe right now and that breastfeeding (or whatever feeding) you are doing is going well. That first week is SUCH A BLUR. You are in our thoughts mama. Congratulations!!
Thanks for this! Do you both think hospitals could delay cord clamping until the placenta naturally comes out (delayed by an hour possibly) Also can the apgar test be done quickly on the moms stomach? If the Apgar test score is low can the pediatrician do what is needed on mom and not away from her?
I think It`'s your an babys right not to be seperated. But unfortunately it's not guaranteed in the hospitals most of the time. You should really make them clear that you don't want to be seperated with your baby. Midwifes for homebirths on the other hand test the baby while your're still bonding :)
is that possible to have delayed cord clamping when we do cord banking?
How often would you need to revaccinate newborns with the vitamin K supplement? Is it just for the first 24hrs and if they are not at risk for the bleeding is it not needed after that?
You only have to give it once if you do the shot--the injection is a big boost of vitamin K and by the time they would need more they have gotten some extra from their diet, etc. So they don't need it again!
@@TheDoctorsBjorkman I like oral more because less pain for babies. Like the nasal flu shot. I know now they sadly stopped recommending the nasal one but it used to be nice to have a pain free option. Especially for small kiddos and babies. I was a tough kid and didn’t really care starting at age maybe 5-7 but many kids Reaaaally Do and get super upset
I never see delayed cord clamping addressed with c-sections. Can you do this when having a c?
I was born almost 3 weeks late and weighed over 10#
Would Kurt be able to make a video about heart arrhythmia’s in an unborn baby? My baby girl is having PACs so I’m doing weekly bpp’s to keep an eye on things. I also have GD. I didn’t deal with either of these issues with my first so it’s stressful to say the least. But being in the cardiology field for babies, I’d like to know his take on this subject.
If Mom already has had the Hepatitis AB vaccine, such as Twinrix, two years before birth, would the baby have the antibodies, or would it still be recommended?
Thanks for all your informative videos!
Baby will still have to get Hep B vaccine.
Probably. though I have always found this one to not be as important as say DTAP or HIB or IPV
Don't forget to mention that hospitals offer formula too, so the Mom/parents have feeding options.
I’m 20 weeks pregnant today with a baby boy! Did you get the COVID-19 vaccine?
Congratulations on your sweet boy! Halfway there--that's so exciting! I did get the Covid vaccine! I got both doses of the Pfizer vaccine back in January! We talked about our decision making process in this video: th-cam.com/video/D9kKw45BJ60/w-d-xo.html
I am 13 weeks now but got my 2nd booster dose of Pfizer at 4 weeks pregnant. Baby is doing well so far and NIPT testing came back clean! I would recommend getting it as I was exposed to covid at work the next week and luckily evaded catching it! Also talk to your OB if you are worried about potential risks.
I'll be 19 May 22nd & plan on starting a family in several years & I subbed to u guys cuz the info is so useful
Does the vitamin k shot protect baby until they start eating solids? Or does it need to be given again at a later date?
It’s one and done
Beautiful combo💕
I'd be curious if vitamin k is higher in plant based moms. When I log my meals occasionally in the chronometer app I blow vitamin k out of the water. It just seems weird that for thousands of years there were no vitamin k shots and in most other ways breast milk is perfectly adapted for babies.
Vitamin k doesn't pass from mom to baby. Even if mom takes crazy amounts if vitamin k, the baby will have none. Makes me wonder if it happens for a reason?
Also, I think they stated in the video that babies cannot really break down oral Vitamin K making the injection better.
I really appreciate your videos!! 💖
Thank you for your wonderful content! I’m about to give birth in a week and wondering how much time should be balanced between delayed cord clamping and cord blood/tissue collection? Too much delay and the cord blood/tissue collection won’t have enough sample. Thanks!
What are your thoughts on a lotus birth?
I definitely think all newborns need that CHD screen. If they had done something like that when I was born almost 49 years ago, they would've caught my CHD instead of us waiting until I was 2 years old to figure out something was wrong and actually not knowing WHAT the problem was until I was cut open for heart surgery when I was 9 in what turned out to be a severe problem they thought was initially something small. Be glad technology has gotten to the point it has so medical professionals can know ahead of time what to expect in case there is a problem. Back then, my mom didn't even have an ultrasound when she was pregnant! When I was pregnant with my miracle baby, he had a fetal ECHO to see if there was a problem before I gave birth. Then he had another one when he was 2 to find out his heart is normal even if he has an incidental murmur. If he had something wrong, we would've caught it and had proper interventions in place, including changing the hospital I gave birth at so we would have pediatric cardiologists just in case.
We are also so thankful for the advances in medicine and screening, as it can prevent a lot of heartache and difficult medical treatments. It is amazing that pretty simple technology can let us know ahead of time babies could have a major issue. It sounds like you had AWESOME care for your son, and that you truly appreciate it--having been through all of the surgery for your heart yourself. Glad to hear you BOTH are doing okay.
If it's a sleeper with a bag on the bottom how do you get the carseat straps over the baby?
Never put your baby in the car seat while still in a sleeping bag.
Out of the sleeping bag, into the seat, do up the seatbelt, ensuring straps are straight, flat, firm fitting, not twisted. Then you can tuck in a blanket over the top.
Genuine question. Aren't formula-fed babies essentially receiving "oral supplementation"? So if the risk is almost zero for formula-fed babies, why isn't oral supplementation good enough?
Thanks from Italy!
Isn’t hepatitis b an std? How would a newborn contract hep b?
I think it’s also transmitted through blood, i.e. needles and such.
@@kyliewagner9597 it is, but who is my baby sharing needles with? I would be more concerned if it could be transferred through saliva or the eye.
Its just profit for Big pharma
It's transferred by any bodily fluid.
The hospital I delivered at and also am having this baby don't have a nursery anymore they shut it down so baby is constantly with mama and the dad
So it’s better to formula feed Bc of the vitamin k
Breastmilk is the prefect nutrition for babies! That is why they get the one time vitamin K shot at birth!
Im 35 weeks pregnant and i didnt know about any of this these videos are very informative gotta get my hospital bag ready still got alot to do. Question do you prefer to have newborn baby sleep in the crib or a bassinet i have both just not sure which one she should sleep in first
Keeping baby close to your bed in a bassinet can be really helpful when baby is frequently waking up in the night.
I’m a teenager that’s pregnant with a boy and I’m about to turn 30 weeks but I haven’t been able to gain any weight I’ve been eating more frequently since I’ve been prescribed medicine for my nausea but I still haven’t gained weight. What do you recommend me to do because I’m worried about my babies health and my own health.
I hope you were able to deliver a healthy baby boy since your comment is a year old 💖 but always discuss these concerns with your Primary care Physician/OB as based on your prenatal care and tests, they will know what is best for you and baby! Wishing you and baby well 🥰
What do u suggest for 36 wheeler to gain weight? My baby is 4 lb 85 ounces
Can you make a video about lotus birth?
I'm being induced tomorrow
So does it mean you can't take care of the baby medically as physicians
Great video, congratulations and that was the coolest necklace I have ever seen!
Parents have the right to decline vitamin K, vaccines, and eye ointment.
Doctors can be very intimidating when declining any of those! I’m pregnant with my first and I already feel the pressure of what they believe NEEDS to be done!
This is state-dependent. My state requires the eye ointment.
@@lifebrarian OMG!!!! That’s horrible. I am declining eye ointment. No thanks haha. And I decline Vit K because I just want to give them the oral one. Less pain
Hi! 😊I just recently found your channel and I love how educational your videos are! I’m a first time mom currently 28 weeks pregnant and planning on exclusively breastfeeding and pumping I’m really considering getting baby vaccinated with the vitamin K shot when she’s born. My question is that if she gets the vitamin K shot at the hospital do I still have to give her vitamin K supplements daily while I breast feed?
Congrats on your pregnancy and being in the third trimester! You are on the homestretch. I love that you are going to try to exclusively breastfeed and pump! I’ve heard it is hard but so so worth it!!
To answer your question-if she gets the vitamin K shot in the hospital, you do NOT have to supplement that daily while breastfeeding! It’s a one time shot in the hospital and they don’t need it again.
If you are exclusively breastfeeding, it is recommended you supplement either you or the baby every day with Vitamin D. You can give the baby 400IU daily (it comes in a liquid form and you use a dropper) OR you can take large dose of vitamin D yourself-6400IU daily and that is enough for you to pass it to the baby via breast milk!
Hope that is helpful. We will definitely be doing some videos about breastfeeding once our little one arrives and we have some “real life experiences” to share!!
@@TheDoctorsBjorkman thank you so much for your reply! 🙂
I have another question will you be doing a follow up video on the COVID 19 vaccine during pregnancy? Now that their are more studies on this topic? I guess my main question here would be is there any long term effects for baby or mom by getting this vaccine? And I’ve also heard of people having still births from having the COVID vaccine. Is that even possible?
We are hoping to do an episode like this soon!
@@Martha21-o7r With all do respect, how would anyone doctor or not know if there are any long term effects from the covid19 vaccine? That goes for anyone... Including pregnant women, children or adults.
The vaccine has not been around long enough to know. To date its been around for a tiny bit over 1 year. So, that's all anyone would have data for.
Can baby still be nórmela if baby don’t not have the nasal bone
Please where can one do genotype test in UAE(Dubai), any idea??
I'm so sorry, I have no idea!!
@@TheDoctorsBjorkman
Alright sir, thanks for your concern 🙏
