Unfortunately as someone who’s had a lifelong struggle with obesity I’ve found that doctors pretty much always blame every complaint I bring to them on weight.
I’m nowhere near obese but My health issues are blamed on weight that isn’t even in my control. My mother manipulated me into using birth control and it caused me to gain over 50 pounds
Same drives me nuts
Weight can definitely play a factor into health issues, but sadly doctors, mostly male, will think we're overreacting and write us off, even if there's something more to medical complaints.
It's frustrating.
Hi this that made me think...As someone who struggles with weight in the opposite way- I've been underweight for most of my life- I've RARELY been told a problem might be because of my weight. BUT IT QUITE OFTEN WAS and I wished doctor would have told me.
I'm struggling to put on weight and/or hold my weight at a 'normal' bmi, so my qeight is always going up a few kilos and then down again. And I've had reoccuring symptoms and little health problems since forever. And then at 24 yrs old I realized I would always put on a little weight and for example my stomach pain would dissappear. Then when I lost the weight again the symptoms came creeping back slowly and getting more, the longer I was at a lower weight. And every time doctors would test for everything and find nothing and either didn't believe me or say it was a mental problem. But they knew all along how much I weighed so why not say something?? It took me ages to connect these two things. Neither too much nor too little weight is healthy and Doctors should always evaluate the symptoms while also looking at the patient.
So true I hate it
I had a male Dr tell me that my migraines and blackouts were due to me being overweight (I was 5'4 30 years old, had 2 kids, and 139 pounds). I listened to him. 4 years later a different Dr found a brain tumor near my brain stem.
I have had several male Drs blame basically every health problem on weight or 'possibly' fibro and never do tests or anything to help.
Omg I'm sooo sorry!!! And that's not even overweight!!
@@Piscoandmartinis The tumor wasn't cancerous. I got it removed and my painful migraines and blackout stopped. I have vertigo migraines and very nice female Drs who do not blame every symptom on weight. That Dr was horrible, he stayed on his phone through appointments as well.
You should watch ‘suger the bitter truth’, it’s an eye opener. Love from Holland
What the hell. That's disgraceful! You were not over weight and even if you were black outs should not have been caused by it.
If you were 5’4 and 139 lbs after having two kids and a doctor called you overweight, I would shudder to think what he’d call me for being only about an inch taller, about 50 lbs heavier and with no kids.... 🤦🏻♀️🤦🏻♀️ jk I know what he’d say; he’d tell me I was a fatty mcfat fat. But my point is that if I were 139 I would be like “I’m doing damn good and look amazing, SIR!” ain’t nobody gonna tell me I’m overweight at 139 and 5’4. He sounds like a total d*ck. And then to later find out you had a tumor??? That makes him a hack AND a dick! Fool couldn’t diagnose my tumor cause he’s too busy worrying about my weight? Can you say malpractice suit??? 😂😂 I honestly don’t know jack about the law in that regard but best believe if I had GROUNDS to sue, I would be suing!!
Wow, as a premature identical twin, this video hit home hard. My sister and I were born 3 months early, we barely weighed 3.5 lbs together. Our mom was only 15 at the time and she was only expecting one baby. Her neighbor was a nurse and noticed she didn't look good and told her to go to urgent care. She was suffering from blood toxicity, and when they did an ultrasound, I rolled out from behind my sister, completely surprising everyone. When I rolled, the ultrasound tech noticed that our umbilical cords were wrapped around each other's necks and tied in a knot, so she had to undergo an emergency c-section. The whole process from arriving at the hospital until we were delivered was like 5 hours. My mom was in shock, we were so tiny an premature we had to be immediately put into incubators. I always feel bad for my mom, she didn't get to hold us until we were almost 3 months old when we were finally released from the incubators. We all three almost died, if my mom hadn't have gone into the hospital when she did, she may not have survived the next 24 hours because of the blood toxicity. My twin sis had a 1% chance of surviving, I had a 0.5% chance. She was "Baby A" and I was "Baby B" for about 2 and a half weeks, my mom was afraid to name us, get attached, then lose us suddenly. Episodes like these remind me just how lucky I am to be alive. Thank science for modern medicine, those incubators and the medical staff were absolute life savers. Both my twin and I are doing okay, we have some health issues, but it could be 100 times worse. My twin is currently pregnant with a little girl, I'm super excited for her. She's always wanted to be a mom, and I hope she has a smooth delivery, unlike our own.
Thanks for the video and the trip down memory lane MDJ, I appreciate it!
Omg I'm glad u & your sis are healthy now
@@shinyhunteralana2297 Thank you for reading my comment and thank you for your concern. Fortunately, both of us are doing well. My sister is dealing with a lot of swelling, she's just past 31 weeks along so far. The whole family is excited but we're watching her carefully since our mom had a ton of complications with us.
@@angelicaapperson950 tell her congratulations I hope everything goes well cuz my nephew found out his girlfriend is pregnant meaning I'll be a Great Aunt & I'm scared something might happen like that too
This is touching on so many levels
Update for y'all: my sister is currently hospitalized, she has severe pre-eclampsia and are struggling to keep her blood pressure at normal levels for more than a few hours. She is scheduled for a c-section on Friday the 25th, so she'll be 34 weeks at that time, a little premature but not too bad. Not nearly as premature as we were. The whole family is nervous because she can't have an epidural due to spine anatomy (our mom had the same issue), so we're uncertain if she's going to be conscious at all during the c-section or not. Thanks to covid, even if she's conscious, they'll only allow one visitor at a time, so we'll all be sequestered to the waiting room. The only upside is that her daughter will have the same birthday as her great-grandmother, which I think is pretty cool. Our grandma was a twin that lost her sister in a car accident as a teenager, she's always adored us since we were babies. I think it's really special that my twin sister's baby will have the same birthday as her. I'll post an update once it gets closer to Friday. We're all biting our nails waiting, not much can be done right now.
A doctor defending overweight people is a rarity. Thank you for that. My first video and I'm hooked
This comment thread is a rollercoaster
We need more people like that. I have read more than my fair share of stories on tumblr of people who almost died from other health problems because their doctors just focused on their weight rather than doing a LOT of detective work.
@@ichigopockychan it's upsetting when doctors are lazy but in medicine they usually go with the most common problem first instead of looking for other things. Hopefully they at least did tests gosh. But you don't have to be overweight to get trashy care. My friend was misdiagnosed so many times and when they finally found out what was wrong the doctors said they cant help her because shes too young. Its frustrating and infuriating
@@squirrel670 if they said she was to young they are saying that because it's true tho. it could do more harm than good to her if they tried to "help" her.
@Darth Nihilus just because people you loved who happened to be obese died doesn't mean that all obese people are unhealthy. My mother is 100lbs and had two strokes last year. By your logic, that means ALL 100lb women will have strokes. Which of course is absurd.
The misinformation and hype over various diseases being related to obesity has caused people like you to be bias and discriminatory towards overweight people.
@Darth Nihilus No one said anything about acceptance. You can have empathy for and defend people without being irrationally accepting of the weight. Sit the fuck down.
The moment you got mad at their use of the word "ballooning" I gave you a thumbs up.
Same here!!
Now i will too
🤣 same
It’s definitely a poor word choice
I’d only use the word “ballooning” for sudden swelling.
Gaining weight isn’t so sudden like “ballooning” would suggest.
Same!!!
I'm very confused as to how this woman was never asked if she could possibly be pregnant by that doctor. I get asked every single time I walk into a doctor's office. I went in once for foot pain and was asked if I was pregnant.
Enjoy your youth because you will feel really old when they stop asking that! The dentist's are the worst
If you’re pregnant you need a medical clearance for meds or X-rays any doctor foot/dentist etc needs to cover themselves from any liability
I got asked when I was 9. I laughed at them.
@@therealz360z7 I'm 68 and I still get asked if I could be pregnant. LOL!!!
Quite possibly made the assumption she wasn’t having relations with anyone due to her size. Common problem.
The plight of overweight women: literally everything is blamed on our weight.
Yeah, except being overweight affects everything. Nothing about being overweight is positive.
HinaHina no not everything is Bc of their weight
@@lolodabae343 Uh, yes it is. Being overweight puts stress on all your organs. It exacerbates any condition you have.
HinaHina I said what I said.
HinaHina you might look fine as hell, that’s an upside
Patient: "Out of 1 to 10, my pain was at a million and a half"
Doctor Jones: "Labor"
Nature hurts.
Only humans. No other mammal suffers so
Anna KW hyenas actually have really difficult and painful births too
Anna KW yes hyenas struggle so bad with pregnancy because fun fact: female spotted hyenas have a penis, which they do give birth through
My labor only got more painful than my menstrual cramps at transition. Before that, my nurse kept offering me pain medication, and I didn't need, nor want it; I did take one dose of IV Stadol and promptly fell asleep. I had to be awakened to push. I've always said that God let me have an easy labor, because pregnancy was awful for me. My morning sickness was so bad and prolonged that I only gained 4 pounds, and my son was 5# 10oz, even though he was only 35 weeks gestation.
Patient: "Doctor, I had unprotected sex and then had Plan B, but I haven't had a period in months. What could it be?"
Doctor: "Obesity. That'll be $200"
WTF
T.W. Maiden: Please dont throw the Dr under the bus. In my experience as a Nurse patients are not always forthcoming with the truth unfortunately.
Brilliant But Blue 🙄
@@brilliantbutblue Hey, I'm just going off what they have said in the show, which is that she had given a history to the doctor of unprotected sex and an extended period of amenorrhoea. Because she had also mentioned irregular periods and she happened to be overweight, the doctor chalked it up to that and did not investigate. He should have done a pregnancy test, which is a very simple investigation to undertake and should have been done to cover his bases, even if he thought it was unlikely. He was not thorough enough.
I agree that patients can sometimes not be forthcoming and can be poor historians, and that is exactly why he should have done a pregnancy test.
Brilliant But Blue nearly all doctors check first for pregnancy as it causes acute and various symptoms. This was completely the docs fault.
I am a little overweight and have a variety of health issues that pre-date my increased weight. When I try to get health care all the doctors see is my weight. Before I had 2 surgeries 3 months apart with a hypothyroid diagnose I was told by 3 doctors I just needed to lose weight. I nearly died because of the poor health care. So, yeah, be a woman, plump and add on having "women's" health issues, all you are is a person who needs a fat farm so get out and pay us. This has been happening in my life for 35 years.
her doctor, the one that says it's just cause she's overweight should definitely be sued . Three people could have died?!
I'm afraid not everyone has the money to sue against injustice. Sad, but true.
If every doctor who diagnosed based off bias and not science got sued, America would have no doctors left to treat. I was told to lose weight to fix my carpal tunnel.
@@samdp42 well their would still be Docters but yeah .
Her getting mad at the editing makes me so proud. I’m “heavy set” and lots of “thinner” people don’t understand the struggles people like me have, and I’m glad that Mama Dr Jones understands. Thank you.
"You don't get to be offended by science" this is my first video of yours but I think I'm going to like you.
I subscribed solely because of the shirt. Love it!!!!
I was just thinking the exact same lol
Same here! YT is getting ridiculous. New subby too.
Me too
Just a dog
Same
As soon as I heard the word “ballooned,” I knew Doc was gonna call it out. Thank you!!!!
yea why couldn’t they just say “jasmine had gained some weight”
When I heard 5'7" and 300+ lbs I was like "whoa! 😮" 😜
Nobody would have a problem with the term ballooned if it was from 130lbs to 180lbs though, right?
ladydmethify No, we would still have problems with it
@@chickenalpaca0332 why?
It's a natural quick but seemingly major weight gain associated with pregnancy.
Ballooning seems to be an accurate term.
Actually most women say things like "I look like I swallowed a baloon/beach ball" or "my ankles look like tree trunks" with a giggle.
Pregnancy causes certain things to happen to most bodies, no need to get offended when people notice, it's natural and to be expected.
Now if that stuff happens and you're not pregnant you should totally go get it checked out. A quick massive weight gain can't be good.
"I've always been heavyset, I'd weigh myself all the time. I knew I would never be that perfect size. I'd have to deal with that."
I burst into tears
The heartbreak in her voice kills me
Dude same that one hit me
I felt that statement as well. You are not alone.
I feel you, sister. We can do what we can in order to at least be healthy.
Right?
I was like "Baby girl, no!"
It really bothers me how little people talk about how the morning after pill can be ineffective for people who are above certain weights (I believe 175 lbs)
YESSS
Is it known why?
Another thing I couldn't help thinking was that condoms are not 100% effective either. Was the time with the broken condom the only time she had sex that year?
God job, MDJ!
I learned the hard way lol
my plan b didn’t work and now I’m currently 26 weeks pregnant with twin girls. It was unplanned but they’re super wanted and I love them so much 🥺❤️
@@Lilysworld.0 hope everything’s going well
What I've learned from this:
*When in doubt - Take a pregnancy test*
Literally any time I go to any doctor visit they ask me if I could be pregnant or if I'm sexually active.
Yeah if you miss a period and have had sex during your fertile week, it doesnt hurt to take a pregnancy test just to make sure.
Amen! This show scared me into buying a pregnancy test.....
Yup, peace of mind in a stick
I took one a month from the time I left my sons' dad so for 4 months and everyone of them was negative I always had unusual periods i still bleed heavily for 5-8 days and still has a miscarriage i didn't know about the baby i still don't know how far I was i just kbow I was barely far enough for there to be a body that I could cremate.
THANK YOU for saying something about the "ballooned" comment. As someone recovering from an eating disorder I appreciate it so much.
Good luck in your recovery. ❤️
Good luck ❤️
That's amazing! I wish you the best :)
Same here. I hope recovery is going well for you!
@@MalignDreams No one here doesn't know how balloons function, we're not stupid. The issue is that it's incredibly insensitive. I wouldn't say something like "your mother flopped over dead like a tree being cut down." You know... because trees fall? Like people do when they die suddenly?
I don’t understand why Dr. Jones didn’t talk about how plan b is only approved for women up to 165 lbs. You have to double the dose otherwise. This is SUPER important and not talked about nearly enough.
I know! This really disappointed me, saying it’s 95% effective but there’s no way it would be anywhere close to that for someone who is 350 pounds. I’m worried girls might think it’s an effective birth control from what she said
@@pascha310 Yes, even at double the dosage, you are probably only looking at 75-80% success at that weight.
Yes!!! And many forms of birth control also have different efficacy at different body weights! So important. It’s not a matter of shaming, it should just be a matter of proper dosage!
Does it say that on the package? Maybe she's relying on people reading the directions ?
Right
One of my old coworkers daughter's took a pregnancy test bc she was gaining a belly and it was positive. She goes to the doctor expecting to be a couple months along, and nope. She was 36 weeks. The stress of it sent her into labor and she had her daughter within the next two days.
The coincidences in this...
I love stories like that. It’s like Christmas came early!
I have no idea why your video was in my recommended but I'm glad it was!
Kelsey Lovato Same here - what a happy little surprise. I think I’m going to be obsessed with these now.
Same!
Saaame
Same!
I'm in the same boat. I don't ever watch stuff like this, but this was interesting. xD
LMAO baby 2 stuck its hand out like "AY YO I'M IN HERE TOO LEMME OUT"
LOL
🤣🤣🤣🤣
Lmaooooo
😂😂😂
XD thank u. U just saved me from a sad time
Despite the serious situation, the word "footling" always makes me think of an elf the size of a foot.
That's adorable
To answer your question at 7:00, in EMS we have extreme limits to our diagnostic tools. As such, we are taught to treat every female of child bearing age with chief complaint of abdominal pain as a potential complication of pregnancy on top of anything else we suspect. Also on another sidenote, even though the pt was young, an AMI often presents with what many consider odd signs, especially in women, those with diabetes, and those who are overweight. In relaying these signs and symptoms to the recieving hospital during transport, it's no wonder the hospital decided to have an OB Dr on standby :)
Throws hands up. Finally a public face who explains how the morning afterpill works!
Yes please..... Now I know that I have a bit of breathing room. The name is kind of misleading.
Call me stupid, but I didn't know
@@malinm1615 it's all described in the pill's instructions
@@Etianen7 You are right, but I never needed or bought them, so I have never read it. But I gives me a little peace of mind, that I can buy them on or two days later.
The normal pill is very sensitive when it comes to timing, so I somehow figured it would be the same with the morning after pill
@@malinm1615 yes, it's more flexible than the birth control, but you should still take it as soon as possible to maximise the chance it would work. But if not possible, a couple of days later may work too
@@MamaDoctorJones Yes of course 😁 I myself use the nuvaring, which works out well for me!
You treated the pregnant woman w/ respect, & chided the narrator when he didn't. Informative & caring, & you didn't talk down to your viewers. Brava!
Yeah. I'd like an ob/gyn like her!
@Sarah Kelly seriously! You'd think a woman OBGYN would be more understanding but nope. I don't understand how doctors feel it's okay to invalidate a patient's pain.
@@furygeist I'm 45 pounds overweight and doctors have blamed everything from heartburn to shoulder pain (after a fall) on my weight.
I use to watch this show when I was pregnant. I'm lying there in my first trimester, curled up in a ball, miserable. Every little smell makes me throw up. What I ate one day that made me feel great has me running to the bathroom to throw up the next. I slept a lot. And all I could say while watching these women who didn't know they were pregnant was "HOW?!" 😄
Having “morning” sickness is good - provided you can stay nourished and hydrated it is protective for the foetus. Protects against substances (eg coffee, eggs with bacteria, etc) which are minimally toxic to adults, but more harmful to something tiny and developing.
@@janmeyer3129 Yeah, that's really no comfort to anyone feeling sick all day, vomiting frequently, and struggling to find something they can stomach.
Pregnancy is different for different people. Some have very few symptoms. In some of these shows, the women are having symptoms but they attribute it to something else. (Frequent viruses, stress, other medical conditions, etc.) If you really don't expect to or subconsciously fear being pregnant you can often find other explanations for things.
I'm going through the same thing. In only 2 months but the food aversion have me starvedddddddd. I immediately went and got a test.
Same except I couldn't sleep at all and heartburn all the time as well. I'm in second trimester now.
Same for me. I never had to throw up, but if I didnt know I was pregnant, I would definetely go to a doctor to check why I am so extremely tired all the time. I suppose overweight people don't feel so much if the baby kicking, but that is also for me pretty obvious, and I wonder how some of the woman in these videos would not have noticed, or explained to themselves the experience. I also had an aversion to alcohol and cigarettes at a point before I knew I was pregnant. The human body does a lot to protect the baby.
imagine going to the hospital because of extreme stomach pains, only to discover that you're pregnant and need to immediately go into surgery, but when you come out of surgery two weeks had passed and you now have twins. Like 15 minutes ago you thought you just had a burst appendix. I'd immediately assume i'm in the twilight zone.
me: “i’m going to be so productive during social isolation”
also me: **ten videos deep into doctor jones’ channel**
ROTFL!!!
I hope all goes well for you, I'm sure it's a scary time for you, best wishes💚👶
I am doing the same thing!
SAME!!!

Try Dr.Hopes Sick notes
I’ve never been in labor, so I am going off of what my mom said. Shortly after my 23rd birthday I started to have stomach problems, after trial and error my Dr and I decided I had become lactose intolerant. Over the next year I began to lose weight, and having bad stomach pains. I attributed this to poor diet, and drinking too much, so I would switch to beer instead of whiskey when my stomach started acting up (I know, I was a dumb kid lol), I went back and forth with this every 2-3 months. One night the pain got so bad I had my boyfriend (now husband) take me to the ER. I had a fever of 101.3, terrible heart burn, and unbearable rolling cramps/pain. I was given a GI cocktail and told to take Tylenol. I called my mom the next morning to let her know, and my dad stoped by my place on his way home from work. I was in a ball crying, he called my mom and they took me back to the ER. Same DR was there, and I think he almost shit himself when my daddy “pulled him aside”. My BP was very low, stomach distended, & the rolling pains had gotten unbearable, I could not walk. What I call rolling pains is when I can feel one coming, it would get to a 1000 on the pain sale, then subside, they were occurring ever 10-15 min. They gave me more dilated “than a 250lb male” would get, I was 110lbs. From the bruising that happened with the quickly failed IV, I believe it was not placed correctly, and she went through the other side of my vain, so the pain meds were not instantly entering my body. Finally the pain subsided, and I was released. This kept up for 3 months, happening every 1-3 weeks, I found my GI Dr when he was making rounds in the hospital. I went through sooo many tests, so many ER visits, and admitted multiple times. My mom can only describe it as “it was like watching you go through labor”. Finally I agreed happily to exploratory surgery, where they ended up removing 8in of my colon that was 98% restricted from scar tissue, and I was diagnosed with Crohn’s. My boyfriend had been accused of poisoning me, I was labeled a drug seeker (thankfully early ruled out), and even put under psychiatric watch at one hospital stay. It is terrifying to be in that much pain, I honestly thought I was dying a few times, and not having any answers as to what was causing the pain except BS that was easily ruled out. I had very little trust in the care I received in the ER, I tried everything possible before giving up & going in. The care was great once I was admitted, and out of the ER.
I'm a Crohn's patient too I swear the pain is worst than natural child birth, I've done it, Crohn's is worse
that sounds incredibly traumatic, i hope you're ok these days, as much as you can be after going through that, along with the life adjustments you surely required, you deserved better back then and i hope your future brings you the wellness you were denied
@@im19ice3 thank you very much, you are so kind. Thankfully my Crohn’s has been in remission for a long time. I have developed Gastroparesis, and medical PTSD. I now teach others w/chronic illnesses to advocate for themselves. I found my voice and began advocating for myself, and it was a major turning point in my life and care.
I had a breech baby who came out butt first, and that was the perfect precept for who she is now. 😂
Thank you so much for the "ballooned" comment while also being scientific about risks of obesity 👍♥️
There's a difference between upholding the dignity of someone who struggles with their weight and glossing over the health risks. She didn't minimize risk she just said maybe there's a better way to say that. You know, manners? Empathy? That stuff.
This comment got it's 1.4k like from me
@@ZippyTripped yea thats what they said babe
Unfortunately this is VERY common. A lot of overweight patients are ignored for even OBVIOUS issues.
Donnt knwonwhy she choose this one. Many of the other stories have skinny women who gave birth. Many woman can be pregnant and have their periods
Alice Lane Maybe because she had twins and not just one baby..? The title might have been more interesting to her. I’m sure she didn’t choose the video because she was overweight.
there's a lot of those that were not overweight at all and some even lost weight
Jada Nichole what they mean is there are an excessive amount of overweight patients that are basically told that the only thing wrong with them is their weight when there are underlying conditions that are being ignored because the immediate conclusion is ‘ you have a blood clot because of your weight ‘ and not ‘ hey you might have a heart condition ‘
It’s actually a huge problem. Your weight does have an effect on your overall health but even skinny people can have the same issues. Skinny people can have diabetes and heart issues.
I know people that got blood clots and are in much worse condition now because the doctor immediately came to the conclusion it was because of weight where if they had actually done their job the person wouldn’t have such complications now. There are lazy doctors... I’ve been told that I’m too complicated and that they didn’t have the time to see me as a patient. You’d be surprised how terrible some doctors can be
@@AliceRinGameLand if you're having a full on period while pregnant and not simple spotting there is a problem... at least I think that's how it works. Dont quote me
I'm sorry. I'm overweight and haven't had a "normal" period in YEARS plus I only have 1 ovary and fallopian tube AND my tube is tied yet, when I go to my gynecologist with ANY symptoms that may resemble pregnancy, he orders a pregnancy test. Just saying
I feel ya. I am also overweight and have an IUD, and my gynaecologyst, who implanted it, still runs pregnancy tests just in case.
Gynecologists: let's do a pregnancy test just to be sure.
Family practice: Have you considered that your positive pregnancy test is just because you're obese?
Right? Also every time I go to my dr for stomach pain and nausea. Pretty much every time I go they just ask for some pee idk why these ladies' drs didn't
Me, not sexually active, being asked if I could be pregnant: 🙃
Divine intervention maybe?
I get this as a virgin…
i love this mdj
“and if you don’t you can hit the little downy button but that’s a little passive aggressive”
IM DEAD HAHAHA
"you can hit the little downy button... but... that's a little passive aggressive..."
sometimes I hit the down so TH-cam knows I don't want that kind of video suggested.
2.1k people “that defines me, yes”
Craftybunny it’s easier for the creator if you just mark the video as ‘I’m not interested in this video’ from the options rather than thumb down
@@MsBabbi the I'm not interested doesnt work tho I have done it when there was a type of video I did not like and still get those types of videos in my recomended
I've never hit the down button like ever, if I don't like something I just stop watching
I used to be terrified of this show and constantly think man could I be pregnant this whole time haha
This is why i take a pregnancy test every 3 months just as a safety check😂

"You can do the little, "down-y" button, but thats kinda passive aggressive." - I swear, this will be timeless online.
MDJ’s concern while she watches is SO heartwarming. I love her reactions to these because she’s so genuine and never scoffs for the sake of being funny/entertaining. 💖
When TH-cam recommendations finally gives you an informative, well-produced, non-problematic video to watch 🙌
Kati e Kenna is also a science woman. So smart and very non drama. Just to inform you if you’re looking for others to add to this awesome doctor.
And you find out they keep demonetizing her videos :/
"non-problematic"? What the fuck...
@@DeusDevoid When young people learn fancy new big words, and are judgmental at every turn. It's the fast food of superiority.
I actually know Jasmine very well, I worked with her during this time and the call we got that she had just had babies was very concerning 😂 I will say the girls are healthy and well now! ☺️
That is so cool you actually know her! It is really true she didn't know she was pregnant? That had to have been so traumatic! Glad everyone is happy and well.
Did the one baby have to get her leg amputated because they don't really say anything else??
Elizabeth Drasher I wanna know as well!
I think so.
In the last into there are only three feet.
Chelsey Pickering thank you for the update on your co-worker and her babies.
Imagine calling the guy she had a fling with like 9 months ago and just being like, “hey uh just letting you know you’re now a dad of 2 twin girls.”
I’m currently fat but have been lots of different weights in my life (meds I take due to disability play havoc with weight). Can tell you from lived experience that it’s not at all unusual for a doctor to fail to offer tests when patient is overweight, but offer tests to a slimmer patient with the same symptoms. Add to that the impact of gender and race on accessing quality medical care...let’s just say that we ladies need to be advocates for ourselves!
I love that when the OB mentions the leg having no blood supply part, you didn't say 'No,that's stupid/not true because I've never heard that' instead you said that you would love to research into that as you haven't come across it yet. If only EVERYONE looked at EVERYTHING in life this way. ❤
Isn’t that the best? I can’t trust doctors who dogmatically state such and such is impossible. (Well, within reason; some things are impossible!) The best ones never stop learning and truly enjoy peer review.
And that's how you know she's a good doctor. A doctor willing to look into something instead of being arrogant and thinking they know all is a good doctor!
They didn't say what happened with the leg sounds like a rare complication when a band of the amniotic sac wraps around part of the foetus and as it grows the band tightens plus the end pic only showed 3 feet
Saphia El-Mansub It sounds like the concern with the leg resolved after delivery. The showing of only three legs that long after birth may have been unintentional.
I wonder if Dr. Jones ever looked it up. I found a couple of case studies.

I think good health professionals are aware that they don’t know it all. No matter how experienced you are, you can’t claim to have answers to everything.
I didn't know i was pregnant for the first 5 months. 120lbs and lost weight, no morning sickness. Thankfully my son came out perfect!
Alyssa karen Hatch Same with me. I got very sore boobs and kept falling asleep on the bus We were told that we were an infertile couple, I wasn’t too bothered to be honest, but when I found out I was thrilled. Alex was born by elective c section as my pelvis is narrow. Thirty one years later I am still so thrilled. She’s gorgeous.💕💕😂
a teacher of mine had a similar thing happen- she didn't realize she was pregnant until over halfway through (i don't remember when but it was possibly 6 months!). she was heavy set but you'd still think she'd like- look pregnant you know? she was in her 40s + iirc she thought she couldn't even get pregnant so it was a nice surprise, her + her husband had been trying for a kid for a while (sounded like they'd given up), this was basically like a miracle baby. really sweet. they seemed like they'd make great parents, i'm sure that kid has been growing up so spoiled!
I can understand that. But much after that time, it gets confusing for someone not to realize.
@@lesleyleith4440 I really hate when people are told they are infertile. Unless one of the partners is missing parts there's a chance. You hear it happen all of the time.
Your period?
Kudos to her for not preparing emotionally or in any way for those children yet accepting them right away.
I've gone without sex for months (toddler at home) and I was still made to take a pregnancy test when things were brought up with the doctor (even when I was saying it was impossible to be pregnant). I can't believe a doctor wouldn't run a test when she specifically went in for missed periods!
How neglectful of the original MD who didn’t ask her to return to take a pregnancy test 🤦🏾♀️🤦🏾♀️🤦🏾♀️🤦🏾♀️
Danielle Gautier or even bloodwork!
This is what happens when you're fat and go to the dr. Literally everything is blamed on your weight. It took me years for my cramps and heavy bleeding to be taken seriously. I was always told to exercise. Finally got a woman dr and Bam, I have awful ovarian cysts. I was given help and its been great.
I know right. If I ever feel sick the doctor immediately does a pregnancy test to rule it out
True, maybe she never told the Dr. About having sex and taking the morning after pill. Everybody lies... 😁
Danielle Gautier as an obgyn i would have probably said something like “let’s do a test but it could be due to you being a little overweight” but I would always do a test or some kind of bloodwork
But like.... You'd be perfect for a tampon, pad, or underwear company to sponsor
Yes
MeUndies!
Yeah! I think that would be good
You fool, she supports science! She probably wouldn't use that blue liquid to show how absorbent the product is, people might find out it's for lady part blood! The horror.
Nihilistic Onion Oh no, you're right! I didn't even think about that! Such a shame, the world just can't handle such things. (Though honestly, TH-cam is so stupid with how they run things)
Representation matters. Could be just me but I appreciate that the doll baby was african american for what its worth.😁😁😁😁
Sharon Harley why?
I mean it’s a doll, instead of a doll baby that was african american, I want more representation where it matters, in television, comics, ect.
I thought the same thing. And I’m an Asian woman with siblings that are half black. ❤️🖤
I literally had this same thought and was about to leave a comment but decided not to. Its wonderful
@@am-zj4mq we aren't born biased. That develops over a lifetime and it starts in childhood. If a white child is given dolls that look like them alongside dolls who represent other races, racial equality will be more likely to come naturally to that child. Gotta start em young!
As a 52 year old woman who has never been pregnant, I find these videos so entertaining and educational. 😊👍
About the "ballooned" comment. You gotta keep in mind this IS yhe same channel that brought us 600 LB life. Soooo
Ballooned make me think at that Harry Potter auntie 😁
Honestly when I gained a lot of weight in a short few months I felt like I also ballooned. Lol
Ballon sounds accurate description of weight gain if is in a relatively short amount of time
The doctor on that show is savage and its funny
Yes, a channel about fat people trying to lose weight because it sucks
It seems this patient wasn't taken seriously because of her weight. Happens all the time.
Jenn Terry same I went to the hospital because I was experiencing pain and the doctor said it was sciatica and she asked me If i thought i was pregnant i said I didn’t think so , but that I wasn’t sure. She never had me take a pregnancy test. She just injected something into my buttock and that was it. 1 week later I was back at the hospital because my water broke and I had no idea what it was and I told them there was a lot of water coming out from down there but they made me wait in the ER for 2 hours almost 3 because they said they had to attend the sicker patients first.
Teddy Bear It wasn't weird for you that you didn't get your period for 9 months?! :O And is it seriously possible to be that obese you wouldn't even notice you have pregnancy belly?
Claw Whitethorn i mean, i usually don’t get my periods for months. Last time I had mine was sometime in January and it’s July now
@@teddybear5657 I had a miscarriage at 6 weeks and was told to attend hospital for a follow up D+C. When I came round from the anesthetic I told the nurses I was pregnant. They completely ignored me, but I KNEW. I told my husband when he came but he ignored me too. I couldn't get through to them. Five days later, the day after Christmas, I collapsed in pain at home, was taken into hospital and the result was a 3 month foetus attached to my ovary with the placenta. I lost four pints of blood into my abdominal cavity. So even if you realise you're pregnant you get ignored 😖
@@Serenityrockstar Funny how most women who don't know they are pregnant have irregular periods...coincidental or is it reckless in not being more aware? Like fark wouldn't you be more on the lookout for pregnancy if your periods are irregular? You know you having sex sooooo
"Downy button = passive aggressive" 🤣😂🤣... Love your videos & that made me laugh! Thanks for doing what you're doing ❤️
Thank you so much for all you do!
Thank you for working as hard as you do at home as well and to still find time for us YOU ARE AMAZING.
I have both my daughters subscribed to you channel
The reason she was the first person that came to them, the EMTs might have seen the toes and not told the mother because they didn't want to scare her.
she probably wasn't naked though?
@laguna z The water could've broke as well, I'm sure they picked up on some sign and alerted the hospital that it was a possible or most likely an l&d case but didn't want to panic the mother before proper help was there
If I was pregnant and didn’t know I’d want to be told immediately
chickenalpaca03 yeah but her blood pressure was already up, if she would’ve gotten scared like that especially that kind of high risk delivery it would’ve probably would’ve caused a stroke
The stomach feels hard during labor and that would have given them a heads up on the way
This was so interesting! Totally different to how I expected the video to go, loved the fact there was no judgement or arrogance- just really genuine, empathic responses. Also thanks for the information about progesterone and how it works, it makes total sense when you explain it as you did! Every day's a school day :D Thanks again and keep well xx
Had multiple miscarriages and this last time my dr prescribed progesterone to help baby thrive and it has worked wonders! Almost halfway through my pregnancy and so thankful to my dr for listening to me and helping. She is super excited at every visit that everything is going so well. She followed my journey and actually delivered my oldest.
Sounds like a failure of healthcare due to prejudice against her weight. Like damn. Poor woman. Very bad healthcare here.
I see that a lot. I am diabetic due to my PCOS and if i go to a doctor for any symptom they automatically see my diabetes and that's that. I was having severe foot pain and numbness and I went into the doctor and they saw my diabetes and said oh you have neuropathy from complications from your diabetes. I knew that was not the case. I had just been diagnosed with diabetes a year or two before and my glucose tests were not that high and my A1C's were a steady 5.9. Turns out after falling and a year and a half later I had a calcified disk in my neck that was cutting into my spinal cord causing my feet to be numb. When they fixed it the pain and numbness eased up a little but because it was so long there was damage.
Shadow Kissed i have PCOS too!! Are you on birth control?
I have PCOS and am over weight and they assume that diabetes is my issue and I am personally not even close to diabetic.
@@shadowkissed2370 I'm diabetic with PCOS too...that's super scary what happened to you I'm sorry!
It's the same everywhere I live in Germany. I'm overweight and everytime I see a doctos because something hurts or what ever they say it's because im obese. Not once I got a diagnosis.
"If you don't ovulate, you can't get pregnant"
I was diagnosed with early ovaric failure, I had no period for about six years, I was on early menopause meds for about two years... AND I got pregnant with no symptoms until I went to the doctor and found I was 25 weeks pregnant. Best doctor error ever. Thanks God even with no folic acid and with a chronic disease my baby was born totally healthy. And she's 10yo now. So she is a miracle ❤️
This gives me hope lol. I have no health problems and I am fertile with healthy hormone levels but I haven't been able to get pregnant. It's been a few months of unprotected sex EVERY DAY out of the month sometimes even multiple times (so I never missed out on the ovulation timing) and still I get my period every month. It is kind of worrying and discouraging because you hear of others having babies easily and you start comparing yourself. Especially for someone like me who has no issues but still hasn't conceived for some reason
@@alyailithyia my cousin underwent several fertility sessions, she gave up, adopted, and two months after adoption she got pregnant, doctors and psychologists say she put herself onto so much stress she was unwilingly causing the issue, when she got the adopted baby she relaxed and bam! Knocked out. So, relax, you will be able to get pregnant and have a beautiful baby

@@alyailithyia Maybe it's your man that's infertile ?
In 2014 I was in Nottingham, England & thought I had a rough period. Fist size blood clots fell out of me in the bathroom. I felt a huge pain like labor & I blacked out. When I came to my partner had called an ambulance
I was rushed to Queens medical center. I told the nurse I had to pee
She brought a commode
I had another hard labor pushing pain. And I thought another clot had dropped
I looked and it was a pale grey dead mass. The size of a toilet paper tube.
I had to sign a release form to give it to them for a scientific paper on the biggest fibroid they'd ever seen passed. They found more fibroids on the fundus. Recommend a marine coil. Gave me a depo shot & morphine and sent me home. After a year on depo shots & no coil. I went through the change. It was scary, because the pain was labor, but my partner had a vasectomy. So I was 🤔 confused. We were both relieved when it was over.
I loved this but I will say when you’re overweight (from someone who has always struggled with being obese and thin) doctors always say “it’s because you’re overweight” at least in my experience from being a teenager until adulthood. The only time I felt like doctors listened to me was when I was extremely thin.

Miss Moxie Thank God! In that picture of the babies’ feet at the end, I only saw three.
Wasn't wondering but came across your comment as soon as they mentioned cutting the leg off...haha so thanks!!!!!!
Thank you. I was scrolling through the comments to see if that was the case.
Miss Moxie thank you soooo much that was driving me nuts !

This is the first time I have ever ordered something off of a TH-cam channel, but lady, you earned my money. I am obsessed with your “you don’t get to be offended by science” shirts! I bought one for me and one for my baby. Also, you have excellent prices! You go girl putting out affordable merch!
I’m so glad I came across this video, now I have a better understanding on how the morning after pill works. I’m disappointed because it was never explained in my health class and it’s such an important topic. 🤔
i wasnt well informed on it either or on the birth control i was taking until i had my first visit to an obgyn, wish i would have done it years ago.
Also take into account that schools get funding to push abstinence only during sex ed without talking about birth control in many schools. Not all sexual education is taught the same.
Fun fact, teen pregnancy rates in areas where abstinence only or where abstinence is stressed are noticeably high than those where students were taught about contraceptives.
Hosenda Likento this is definitely true. What I know about stds and things pertaining to sexuality I’ve learnt because my parents have explained it or I’ve seen on the internet, but these things were never covered in any of my high school classes. And I personally know classmates who are teen mothers, and just didn’t have the proper understanding of conservatives or measures they could have taken to deal with the situation. As a graduate many of my friends are now about to enter motherhood or with a baby already. *went on a rant here*
@@hosendalikento370 My school basically made it seem like the pill was pointless because it wasn't very effective. That's the most that was explained to us.
@@nightshade6433 that's so sad. I come from a family of A LOT of women so growing up I was pretty much aware of all "body" changes especially having older sisters. If you can consult a doctor do it, if not the internet is a great first step for information. I actually just seen an ad on Facebook for a kind of monthly birth control box which is amazing.
Diabeetus....

You do a great job at explaining what they're doing...
I'm a retired ER nurse, and I think the same thing -- something is missing in this story. Why did an OB/GYN meet the ambulance?
I think they probably skipped a couple things in the story tbh 😂
@@katieaviss543 yes, while the ambulance was on the way to the ER, the paramedic had to have contacted the ER & explained the situation.
@herkeda yes, most likely. The editing of that part out made the story a bit clunky for professionals watching, but I can see that to the editors it was a minor bit of info
What's missing are facts, its a better story when they leave those out
I man you do go to school and are taught symptoms. Plus they could have been working for 20 years.SO they might know pregnancy symptoms and told the ER to get a OB/GYN there just in case
I've noticed that on a lot of these "i didn't know i was pregnant" things, it's usually people who are overweight, and were often overlooked by their doctors. Which, really sucks. Especially considering a lot of them DID go to the doctors, and did ask about pregnancy chances and were told they're just overweight and that's probably it without looking into it any further. I've actually had a lot of similar experiences (not with pregnancy) where i had a question, or a medical concern and instead of answering or treating it seriously the response was "it's because you're overweight"
Yes! It's very common for doctors to have a "fatphobia". I've learned this awhile back. I'm not overweight myself but I can understand how aggravating it is. Not to mention life threatening.
Too true.
Same!! It makes me not wanna go to the doc
Most probably assume they'd be smart enough to take a home pregancy test first if they had a broken condom during sex
@@SaraS-jq1ln if you're going to a doctor and saying "hey i think i might be pregnant" it doesn't matter if they took an at home test, if they didn't take one, it's the doctors job and obligation to order them a pregnancy test. lmao. they should do their literal jobs, instead of assuming someone SHOULD have taken an at home pregnancy test. (not to mention, at home pregnancy tests can give false positives and getting a pregnancy test done at the doctors office is guaranteed to give accurate results)
I am so glad I found you yesterday. You make the uncomfortable things "normal" and funny
THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU for explaining the morning after pill in detail!!!
I’m the same size as this woman (5’7”, 340) & can totally understand how she didn’t know she was pregnant, especially after going to the doctor. Unfortunately being fat is the only thing some doctors see. Fat women can’t be anything but fat & unhealthy.
I’m currently pregnant with baby #2. I went to a local walk-in clinic that offers free pregnancy tests just to confirm that I was indeed pregnant (even though I had taken 4 tests) & was told I couldn’t be pregnant because of my weight but did a blood test anyway after I insisted. I left the walk-in clinic, went straight to Walmart & bought a digital test. Guess what? It was positive. So was the blood test.
Carole M But I’m curious, wouldn’t she be able to feel the babies move? Especially if there were two? I’m 20 weeks, and I can feel it moving all the time without my hand on my tummy.
Macey Peterson Art She could have had an anterior placenta (placenta attached to the front of the uterus) which could block the feeling of the baby moving.
Can confirm. I'm 36 weeks with my first (5'10, 300lbs) with an anterior placenta.
You don't feel or see much movement like you normally would, especially in the front. So I feel movement at the top portion near my ribs and the bottom near my cervix and hips. It was only when baby did a full rotation that I truly felt and saw something in the middle, just from the size and pressure.
Ugh...Its crazy that even doctors body shame ppl smh.
I totally agree that it seems like her care was directly negatively impacted by weight bias! It seems like a pregnancy test should have been the go-to in that visit!
I'm pretty skinny and always have been (my BMI is 20) and when I was 19 I had an IUD put in, had some very bad bleeding and went to my primary care doctor several times over the course of two months and he just kept reassuring me that I couldn't be pregnant and that first I was feeling super tired because I was anemic due to the really heavy period I'd had, and then I was feeling nauseous because of the iron pills I was taking for the anemia, and the spotting was just a very light period because I'd bled so much the previous month.
I finally got sick of it and decided to take matters into my own hands and take a pregnancy test at home, which turned positive immediately. So I went to an ob-gyn and guess what, I had a silent miscarriage at 11 weeks and needed an emergency d&c because the embryo had been dead since week 7 and I was at risk for a really serious uterine infection.
It was really traumatic and it took me years to trust doctors after that.
So I'm sure it happens more to overweight women, but doctors telling you your are definitely not pregnant without bothering to check seems to be a pretty common thing.
i guess i should count myself lucky I'm in England and every time i go see a doctor for anything related to birth control or issues with my cycle etc they do a pregnancy test first. i dont understand why her doctor did not do one as you can get tests from Poundland here and i bet you can get them at dollar tree or whatever your local cheap shop is. usually 2 tests for £1 so it cant cost hospitals that are purchasing in bulk more than 10p per test strip if that. such a quick cheap thing to do that could prevent something horrible
Every time I go see my gyno they do a pregnancy test.
I wonder if she mentioned to first dr she took morning after pill, or just hadn’t had a period in awhile. Either way a simple pregnancy test should have been done
Carla Hallabrin sooty you had to go through all that fright and pain and trauma! I lost several babies, and the times I lost them not knowing I was even pregnant are still absolute losses...people don’t seem to understand that. They don’t understand grieving someone I didn’t plan to have in my life.

No matter what, the diagnose is obesity - do a damn pregnancy test!😒
And the treatment/prescription is always to lose weight, no matter what the actual problem is.
I feel like as a woman of child bearing age (normal weight), any time something is wrong, they do a pregnancy test just in case.... they must be watching these videos LOL!
Little Flower: I am in my late 40's (tad underweight for height as l do alot of sports) l have no uterus thanks to my last pregnancy at 30, no partner/boyfriend and am asexual. I have probably had 10 "just in case" pregnancy tests in 16 years. Once was prior to starting a new medication. Im unsure whether they think lm going to grow a "bowel baby" or what but there you go, your not alone.
Right? Super annoying...
I was obese and I was diagnosed with hypothyroidism, wasn't hypothyroidism at all, turns out I just don't get enough sleep and I just ate too much. Sometimes it really is just as simple as lose weight. I lost weight incredibly easily with just eating a little bit less, exercising and getting more sleep. All my vitals improved.
I was just over a month along when i started not feeling right. My husband and I had been trying for years to no avail and my doctor, whom had been with me since my birth, told me to try to loose weight and stop worrying about it. He said that stressing about it sometimes makes your body fight it, and being over weight didn't help. So, i joined a roller derby league and forgot I was struggling to have a baby. I was enjoying life, skating 3-4 a week, and shedding pounds fast. I had never felt so wonderful so the onset of fatigue and nausea was out of the blue. I was talking to my teammates about it, saying i was dizzy and hungry but when offered food, I would wretch... they urged me to go in. My doctor, a family practitioner, asked if I had taken a home test, which i hadn't because i had by then forgotten that we were trying. We were just enjoying our lives while doing nothing to prevent a pregnancy. Since he knew that I had asked for ways to improve the odds of a pregnancy, he ordered a urine test.
10 minutes later he returned and gave me a hug. Congratulations, you need an obgyn. Here are a few, since the one that helped me deliver you has retired.
My beautiful daughter is 11. She was a strong healthy baby, full term to the day, but too large for a natural birth. She got stuck and was starting to weaken. I was also tiring and growing weaker. That i was both gestationally diabetic and had the start of pre-eclampsia, the doctor suggested a c section would be safest for us both. I had, hours and hours earlier, given my husband medical power of attorney over me and the child, as I knew i would be too frazzled and too frightened to make clear decisions. He agreed, and 20mins later, she was born. Just stay of 10# and just shy of 20". On my petite 5' frame with a narrow cervix, even fully dilated as I was, her shoulders were too wide.
She wants to go into the medical field, has since she was old enough to form those words. She's smart, and brave, and amazing. I am so happy and so proud to be her mother.
This is an amazing journey you had. I play roller derby too. Did you go back when you were able too?
I'm a childless older woman who never experienced pregnancy, but I still always find it unimaginable that someone could not be aware that she's pregnant.
Thanks Dr. Jones, for making this series so informative and entertaining! I just love your lively comments. :-)
Thank you for educating the way you do. I had no idea the differences in morning after pills or about birth control effectiveness before you! It's sad to think how many of us don't know these things

Lol I didn’t know I was pregnant with my second son. I had a light period every month until about the 4th month of my pregnancy, when I felt a little flutter. I thought gosh do I have a parasite? I went in for a checkup and saw a perfectly formed baby on the ultrasound screen! I was so shocked! It was a nice surprise.
Was baby healthy and delivery normal? Bleeding right through the first trimester must have been a bit scary for you when you found out you were pregnant?
I had a period every month for the first four months, too. I was travelling that entire time, and felt nauseous quite a bit, but I always was vulnerable to motion sickness, so I chalked up the nausea to all the boats, trains, and buses I was riding in, almost every day. I even put on a scopalamine patch when I got particularly seasick on a sailing ship on some stormy seas, never dreaming I could be pregnant. When I finally arrived in an English-speaking country after four months of travelling, I went to see a doctor, and I almost fell over when he did an ultrasound and showed me a fairly large fetus. Everything turned out OK, but it was a very nerve-wracking pregnancy because I never felt the baby move, ever. That happened for both of my pregnancies. At every prenatal visit, the OB/GYN would ask, do you feel the baby moving? And I'd have to say, No. So for both pregnancies, I had to be hooked up frequently to a monitor that would track the babies' movements, for at least an hour every time. I wonder now, how unusual is that, to never feel a baby move? I wanted to feel the babies move inside me, but I never did.
@@MrsRichardDalloway you were not having a period. You were having pregnancy related bleeding, it could be from your cervix due to infection, it could be placental bleeding, but it isn't a period.
It makes your pregnancy go so muck faster lol I was the same with my second I took a pregnancy test negative went on with life for a couple more months with light periods and when I couldn’t button my pants one day I said something is not right and yep I was 4 months pregnant
I had that happen with my 3rd!! I was not expecting a fully shaped human.. Maybe a gummy bear, I had zero signs!! My next appt. was to find out her gender. She is still a surprise..
Ok. I don’t know how I got here, but I have got to say, you are absolutely beautiful. It’s so clear how much you care for babies and their mothers. We need more doctors like you.
i'm not a medical professional-but by watching so many of these, and others. when she said her blood pressure was so high I was like" she might be having pre eclampsia" Then you said it right after!
