As someone who gave birth unmedicated at a birthing center.... The guys saying "How do I difuse the situation... like emotionally" and Dr.Mike saying "Get the baby out." That was the hardest I laughed all day. You're not wrong Dr.Mike... you're not wrong.
"get the baby out" is the REALEST thing ever said in the history of everything 😆 after my unmedicated delivery, I can confirm 100% the feeling of absolute relief once baby is out!
According to one of my aunts, her husband (my uncle) vomited while she was giving birth. They had to remove him from the room. My aunt said that even though she was in horribly pain while giving birth, she laugh for about 3 minutes.
@@aaraujo306 congrats to you. Most women are not like the movies. Most women do have it together. But sometimes u can scream if you want too. Calm births are the best births. But at the end of the day, I think we can all agree that it is painful.
If anything, it was understated. When I gave birth to my son, I only saw one nurse almost my entire time in the L&D room. That one L&D nurse would check up on me periodically until it came time to push. Then she stayed with me, but was still the only one in the room until the baby crowned. Then it felt like every hospital employee suddenly materialized in my room. Even the midwife was only there for the duration of the grand finale.
Yep, and so deserved. I gave birth on thursday and for the majority of that time, only the midwife was around. And what can I say - she was a legend. She saw exactly what I needed - which was mostly being in a birthing tub, and being as undisturbed as possible - and she shielded me from all outside interference. I literally heard her on the phone, when the doctor called her about the progress, and wanted her to examine me physically. And the midwife just told the doctor "I don't see any reason to do that", and I was SO GRATEFUL. I was able to stay in that bath and just have my child, without anyone fingering my cervix every hour, telling me I'm not fully dilated yet. I know I am not. If I was, I'd be pushing. ;) So yeah - cheers to nurses and midwives!
My wife's and my first was a c-section. Doctor said, "Stand up, dad, take a look at your daughter!" ... I had no warning that my daughter would be dark red and covered in blood and that my wife's abdomen would still be wide open. No they didn't have her organs all over the place like this guy says but to say that my view on THIS side of the curtain was substantially different than on THAT SIDE of the curtain is an understatement. I didn't faint or anything but I do remember my first thoughts were, "OMFG JESUS TAPDANCING CHR... IS SHE OKAY?!?!?!?!??" but figured if the doctor's not freaking out this must be "normal".
I’ve given birth naturally 3 times and I’m pretty sure I pooped with the last one, but that nurse was SO quick, 2 years later I’m still not sure if I did or not 😂 She was a champion.
I heard that give birth also feels like pooping even if you dont poop. its because of the pressure in the same area, but this could be also a vert subjective experience
The baby's head puts pressure on the rectum so anything that's in there gets pushed out as the baby gets closer to the opening. Not pretty but no real way around it 😅. Glad your nurse was awesome!
Thank you for saying "unmedicated". It annoys me when people talk about "natural birth" as if it's unnatural to get your baby out in any way that safe and effective.
@@laurao3274 call me stupid, but tbh, I used to think that "Natural birth" meant healthy baby and mom at birth.... So I always wondered "un-natural birth" would mean birth with mom or/and baby complications??? But I was so embarrassed to ask. Till I googled it.... Unmedicated sounds more like the right term to use.
@BDWriter I also was a very stubborn infant, so my mother had to get a C-Section as well. She said they gave her meds to make her not vomit and then she puked them back up 😂
As a mom of 5 that has experienced many different labor and births scenarios, nothing brings me more joy than seeing men do labor simulators and learn about labor and birth!!!😂😁👏🏻
@@kenf3539 The pain scale is relative per person to be fair. I had 2nd degree burns that covered my entire thigh and I described it as an 8. I doubt it was anywhere near birthing pain though.
I’m so glad to see a man experience labor pain!! My husband was talking w his friend one day and they were talking about how I got an epidural after 15hours of labor and he goes “WOW she couldn’t handle just a LITTLE BIT of pain?!!?” 🙄 It just makes me so mad to see how a lot of men think it’s not that painful bc ‘women have been doing it since the beginning of time’ so it can’t be that bad! 🤦♀️ Well guess what? So have broken bones and kidney stones and millions of other painful things. Some men are just straight up stupid
@@amyulisse773 Not sure what that has anything to do with my comment whatsoever lmao. clearly this guy has never experienced that based on his idiotic assumptions. Maybe he should tho! Thank for the idea!!! 😉
I liked that you mentioned how good nurses are at coaching. At my son’s birth, the nurse did everything until the very end when the Dr took over the actual baby catch. She did almost the whole thing, coaching, checking me, checking baby’s vitals, everything.
I really appreciate that DR. Mike took the time to explain the goal of an epidural & that you should still feel sensation so you can push. It’s a common misconception that you won’t feel anything after the epidural is placed & for a lot of women, that is scary. I am a survivor of sexual assault. I was terrified to get an epidural because I thought I would be numb & unable to move my own body. The last couple hours I eventually got one & I was amazed that I could still move my own body & feel everything, but the pain was very dull. I wish this was talked about more openly.
In the past, it never crossed my mind to have an explanation before a procedure is done to me, to ask the name of the medication and what it's for. I think it depends of the personality of the physician. But if the answer is "Mind your F... business, I'm the doctor not you". I would leave, well... if I can. 😳 I remember asking my gynecologist about endometriosis. I like his answer and the way he got all agitated. A lot of them are doing this job because they are passionate, and sometimes it show, which is makes me feel more secure as a patient.
Yeah....I was told that was what I should have expected from the epidural. Being able to move that is. I couldn't move anything and couldn't tell if I was pushing or not. I was numb up to my chest. I imagined where my diaphragm was and went from there. 33 hours of labor and emergency c section later everything is fine. Definitely going to ask for less epidural next time.
30+ years ago doctors were very different from Dr. Mike. No explanations were given, just that it was going to be done. During early labor with my first child I received an epidural that knocked me out for quite some time. The labor pains stopped completely and I was out like a light. My than mother-in-law was so furious & worried about the both of us. Everything lasted over 21 hours before my son was born. I ended up having stitches after the birth process because I was torn open.
Oh wow I had never even considered that. I asked for spinal blocks because I didn’t want to feel ANYTHING but I totally understand why that would scare you. I really hope you’re doing well.
Thank you for this. My dad was diagnosed with Prostate Cancer last year- he is 55. They caught it very early and he had 5 rounds or radiation, every other day. He is doing amazing now. So glad they caught it so early. It's so important to have regular checkups. I haven't been good about that, but I plan to start making regular appointments for check ups.
I asked my husband if he would want to try a labor or period simulator and the man "nope. I'm a man, we aren't meant for that much pain. I am well aware of and empathize with your pain every month. I'm not brave enough yo deal with that." Lol. He really is the best tho. 6' 250lbs of muscle just loving on me and bringing me chocolate and menstrual products every month lol. He says he gets me chocolate, not to comfort me, but to make sure I don't sacrifice him to the menstrual gods.
"how can I help emotionally?" Dr Mike: "Get the baby out" As a mother who has had two natural births, I laughed because is true! You just want the baby to get out. hahahah
Happily for me, when I was finally out of transition and able to push, it felt good to push. It wasn't dissimilar to that last lap of a competition swimming race-lots of hard and tiring work-and not at all painful. All three of my labors were about eleven hours of first stage labor, uncomfortable but not torn ligament painful, followed by a short 10-20 minute second stage.
Boys laugh when they see videos,they faint when their women's give birth,they die of pain when they experience the simulater😂,it needs to become a thing😂😂
I had severe gall stones a few years ago that were mincing my gall bladder up. The surgeon who took my gall bladder out happened to be a mother and told me, " well now you know how painful child birth is." "I see why epidurals are thing." "Yep, but we gave you morphine."
When I had a kidney stone that wouldn’t pass, two doses of morphine did nothing for the pain. Finally for the third dose they gave me something called Delaudid and about 15 minutes later, pain relief finally slipped over me like a cozy blankie and I passed out with relief. You would think seeing me screaming like a maniac for hours while waiting for test results, they might have started with that, or at least made it the second dose!
I love how most of us here aren’t even doctors,but because of us watching Doctor Mike we know more medical stuff. Not just that,but he gives us good information.
True... I'm scared af about being pregnant and giving birth (even thought I'm single). And I'm thinking about my sisters. They all already had a kid even at my age. One of my sister like to have more kids and the other one feel like she's traumatize for being pregnant so she only had 1 kid.
I used to be the same, scared to death by the idea of having some big living organism in me and pushing it out... Then one day I found out I was pregnant and the fear just went away. I can tell you, people - that moment, when they put my son on my chest, was the best moment in my life. However cheesy it may sound, it's true. What I wanted to say is that if you ever find yourself thinking about having a child, don't let the fear of pain or trauma stop you.
I have never given birth but I watched my wife give birth and watching that was the most stressful thing I've ever done. Your loved one is in pain and there is nothing that can be done but for them to push through and that is not easy. Obviously she had a harder time than I did though.
Got to love how Dr. Mike isn't cracking up laughing over the subject matter despite how funny the try guys' reactions are. Instead, he treats the topic with seriousness, respect, and an educational value! Major props to him! 👌🏻
What’s funny is a lot of “labor simulators” you can buy online top out at a pain that is felt by most women/people who have decently painful menstrual cramps, not even the pain of a labor contraction. I’m glad the try guys at least went with the more accurate simulation.
@@KitchenWitchery I (a male in late 20s) had to have a emergency surgery to have my gull bladder removed after 3 hours of the worst pain i'd ever felt in my life. Had enough stones in there i could of redone a drive way (doctor's words) and was messing with my liver. Sitting in the room waiting on the anesthesia a nurse there said she had to have her gull bladder removed and that pain is very similar to contractions when she gave birth. Forget that.
@@WhoThisGuy515 and labour contractions can last for up to 24 hours (established labour). Imagine 24 hours of the type of pain you experienced before having your gallbladder removed! My second labour was unmedicated. Fortunately it was only 12 hours. The last 4 hours were very intense.
can we please stop with this trash? Some women barely feel their periods, while others hurts a lot. It completly depends from women to women. Why pretend it's super painfull for every women? Also if your periods cramps are that bad you need to see a doctor, you probably have something wrong with your ovaries. THat is not normal.
@@paulogaspar8295 I said most, not all. And I also said decently painful as in average pain, which most “labor simulators” that you can buy only top out at an average cramp pain. But also the fact of the matter is quite a few people have very painful periods for the simple reason of that’s how their body works. Yes it can sometimes be due to endometriosis or ovarian cysts but most of the time it’s truly just painful cramps.
@@kathyryder828 I was in active labor for 36 hours with my oldest child, and prodromal labor with painful contractions for 4 days before that. Labor can last longer than 24 hours. It also took me 4 hours of active pushing before he was born. That labor and delivery was horrible.
My second baby really DID shoot out. To be fair, I warned them that I was feeling a lot of pressure. 2 practice pushes and I felt her head travel what felt like multiple inches (probably wasn't that far - just felt like it) and pop out. The nurse panicked and yelled at me to stop pushing and at the other nurse to get the doctor immediately (poor lady - she was a wonderful nurse but I think that surprised all of us). The doctor came racing in and barely had time to put gloves on. Kiddo had the cord wrapped around her neck a few times so they moved the cord quickly. Despite the scare, she was perfectly healthy. She's a beautiful and intelligent almost 2yr old now.
As a former L&D nurse, I am VERY concerned about that woman’s C/S!!! Her innards were all removed?! 😂 Lol! I’m sure that’s what it looked like to him. Thanks for another great video, @DoctorMike! ☺️
As an OR nurse who is with in CS operations both emergency ones and planned ones I think the man saw a placenta and the umbilical cord attached to it in a bowl. Placenta is allways taken to testing after it is removed. Midwife takes it and then it is measured, weighed and some blood tests are taken from the umbilical cord.
As a Dad, I can confirm placenta looks like a crazy weird organ. I knew it was placenta, but I definitely could imagine someone getting confused about it if they didn't know much beforehand. I have a picture of my wife's placenta on my phone(she requested it).
And if he lasts more than 5 mins. Every time these tests are done the guys try them for like 5 mins and not even on the top setting. Where as we contract every minute for hours 😂
My grandpa had prostate cancer, it went away for about 20 years but came back about 4 years ago.. It's gone now and he is in his early 80s and living a great life.
2:07 Being a nurse specialized in urology my teenage son has learned to test his balls from an early age. You really have to ”know” your testicles to notice abnormalities in them. I have seen in my OR career few cases of young men under 30’s who have come to hospital because of back pains and ended up in OR to get their testicles removed because of cancer that has allready spread to bones and lungs. Very sad moments even to us nurses. Test and feel your testicles young men!
@@angelataylor5241 It is not a ”test” it is only a way to touch and learn his testicles. His own eyes and hands are the best, he learns how they look and feel, if there are little bumps, veins, lines etc. When he knows how his testicles are and how they feel, he can notice at once if there is something different in them, if they get sensitive, if there is pain in some place or if they start to look different. During shower is easy to learn. If you talk about the balls like every other thing, he feels comfortable to tell if he feels that something is not right and then you can go and visit your family doctor and from there to a specialist, urologists, if needed.

I remember as a med student I was delivering a baby by myself since the attending was in an emergent delivery next door. As the mother was pushing I look over to dad who is profusely sweating. I told him “sir you can’t faint here because my attention will all be on the mom and the baby”. Nurse brought him cold compressions and planted his face on it. Needless to say, I aced that rotation 😂
So immature. I’m laughing my butt off at the labor stimulator because I had endometriosis and yes in my opinion the try guys are funny and so is Dr. Mike’s comments
HELLO!!! I want to spend time with celebrities. Just kidding. GAGAGAGAGA! I only want to spend time with my two girlfriends and record videos for TH-cam with the 3 of us. OH YEAH. Don't hate me for living the best life, dear kate
When they have an emergency episiotomy, I'll give them credit. Have delivered 3 vaginally, and 3 by c-section (last one was twins). My OB showed my husband my intestines. 16 yrs marriage at that point, he never had proof I used the bathroom, so she pulled my intestines and said, "See Dave. I told you she had intestines." Thanks for ratting me out Doc. 😂
that's hilarious!! 😆 Clearly by then you had to have had a wonderful relationship with that doctor. «assuming she delivered all SEVEN!!! of your kids» those kinds of doctors are the best, imo - the ones with a sense of humor and good bedside manner. And bless *YOU* for birthing _seven_ children!! 🤯 You're an angel 😇
What I love about Dr. Mike is, how professional he is being while kindly explaining everything. That's really brilliant. This is how we educate people. Thank you Doctor.
5:29 I said this in my child development class when my teacher asked why women are given ice chips I said “bc women often poop or throw up during labor so they want you eating the least amount of solid food possible prior to birth” (and also bc of the general reason everyone’s told to fast before medical procedures: aspiration, but I didn’t say that part) and my teacher said no that’s not right and everyone acted like I was a weirdo talking about poop. And it was embarrassing even though I was right. That was 3 years ago and I still think about how embarrassed I was and then get angry bc I was right.
My grandfather was diagnosed with prostate cancer near when I was born. For that reason (according to my mother) I was his favourite grandchild. I came at the right time for him, I distracted him from his cancer. He would always ask my mother to bring me up to their house. I am so honoured and blessed I had a loving relationship with my grandfather ❤️❤️
When he said “they took out my wife’s liver and intestines!” I literally started laughing😂😂 I had a medicated natural birth with my daughter but I’ve watched enough Grey’s Anatomy to know they defs don’t do that during a typical c-section😂😂😂
@@vin2164 when you’re pregnant all of your organs get pushed up into your ribs to make room for the baby so nope lol they don’t take all your organs out to remove the baby during a c section ☺️
I love that you pointed out that the umbilical cord could catch around the neck. My family didn't know this was a thing, until they lost my sister to her cord being wrapped around her throat. So people alerting people to this means a lot. I remember a friend who lived in a really remote area, her and her husband were both instructed what to do should this happen if they weren't able to get emergency medical assistance. Always love your videos. You are just so... well, real. I have met a to. Of docs (family with lots of medical issues). Not many are like you: honest, really, trustworthy
My Dad had a prostate exam and just as the doctor went to do the exam, his arm brushed the light switch and accidentally turned the lights off. It was an awkward but hilarious mishap.
A resident delivered my first child and I'm pretty sure he was deeply afraid because he was making all kinds of shocked and worried noises. They had to give me an episiotomy and use the vacuum thing to get my kid out + my baby was in decels which made my labor a semi-complex one and poor guy looked like he was more afraid than I was. Plus I had labored for 46 hours before I was ready to push so I was EXHAUSTED and completely unimpressed by his work at the time. Turns out, I was his first delivery and while my first kid was a girl, I named my second child Zachary after the Doc who delivered my first one.
On the topic of the epidural... can totally confirm in my case. I originally wanted to have the birth as unmedicated as possible, but it had to be induced due to high blood pressure on my part and the contractions started to make me push at 7pm. at 12:30 am I was so high on the gas stuff that I actually felt sick when I had it to the levels of actually helping, so they offered the epidural. That was a very easy yes for me. It still took 5 hours to get my girl out afterwards. I don't know what I'd had done otherwise. My husband was a total champion though. Fully invovled in everything, the nurses made him work, actually, and he saw everything (not full frontal, but he was positioned so to hold my hand, and from there he watched it all. He said it was kind of freaky to see her head poke out of me before she fully came out) I had to have quite some attention afterwards, though, because I just wouldn't stop bleeding. That took some time, two doctors and about 5-7 nurses and/or midwifes to get sorted out... I lost track because the medication they gave me made me naseous and I had a newborn baby in my arm. But it got busy, and there was quite some traffic ^^ Everything went well in the end, for which I am very thankful. Long story short, it is very easy to say one will do it one way or the other before experiencing it. In 9,5 out of 10 cases it won't happen as anticipated, though. I originally though about a home birth. That story would and could have escalated very fast if I had done that, I believe. But that is just my case. I am deeply in awe of every momma giving birth, no matter how. Do what makes you most comfortable and be flexible, and it will be fine in the end. C-Sec, no C-Sec, emergency C-Sec (not that anyone would actually choose that, but if it is necessary...), waterbirth, Birthing house, at home, in a hospital. As long as both (or how many may have lived in utero until then) come out doing well on the other side, all is fine.
A friend of mine won't let her hubby live down his stories of how he got stitches (from banging his head on the chair) during his wife's labor, and reminds him that: a. she was pushing out a baby, b. she had stitches in tender areas due to needing an episiotomy. ...
07:52 My little sister was actually born with her umbilical core wrapped around her neck, and she apparently looked like a blueberry. She also claimed, for about 11 years, that she “thought it was jewelry” so she put it on 💀💀
I laughed my bum off with the labor pain… having been through labor and delivery three times now… i appreciate that these guys tried to understand what women go through.
6:00 My wife was in labor for like 18 hours before she finally caved and asked for an epidural. Problem was, at that time her contractions were closer together than the amount of time it took them to put the epidural in, so she had to sit upright with her face in a chiropractor looking thing while I wrapped my arms around her and held her still so that when she contracted, she moved as little as possible in case the needle was still in her back at that particular moment.
If you're even admitted to the hospital, then the contractions are probably gonna be closer together than the time it takes to put in the epidural. It's a longer process than one might think. And yes, it's horrible trying to hold still in the middle of a contraction. When the anesthesiologist told me I had to stay completely still, I was like, "Is this guy for real?" I now know why, but in the moment I felt it impossible.
I swear I want every guy to experience at least once the period stimulator or a labour stimulator. I wanna see whether they'll say the "you've never got hit in nuts" joke same.
HAHA I must do this as I constantly tell them that they’ll never be real men because of this monthly shredding the uterus does to itself I’m trans and that’s what I usually experience during shark week (my period). I call it shark week for the exact reason that the cramps, hormones and mental stability are tearing each other apart like a shark tears its prey
I was at high school class reunion last week (I am 23), and when we were telling what we were doing one of the guys told that he was studying medicine, 2 years away from residency atm, and that he wants to be a gynaecologist. Lot's of laughter at first, mostly from the guys that were not that mature yet. the girls, especially the 7 month pregnant one next to him found it less funny. But turned out he was serious, and he actually had a pretty good story why he wanted it, better then my explanation for my current job. Loads of respect for him anyway, seemed like a difficult study, and he is one of the smartest guys I know.
When my ex wife had our first kid, I was holding her leg and the doctor was right in the shooting gallery. Suddenly the space in between her situation ripped and my son's head shot out a bit. Fluids of all sorts spray out with my son's head getting the doctor in the face and giving me a front row view of all this. I instantly got tunnel vision and the part I could see in the center of my vision started to quickly zoom out. Then the doctor grabbed my arm firmly and shook me. Everything comes back to normal in a snap and I quickly look at the doctor. He is blinking hard at me. Both of us had to of had shocked expressions on out faces. He then ask me if I was ok. I slowly nodded and we never spoke of it directly again.
@@nightbomb0126 I think he's saying her perineum tore as the baby's head crowned and he just about fainted. He just said it in a very waffly way. Perineal tears are a painful and unfortunately common occurrence during the birth process.
My father died of prostate cancer. He had late-stage cancer and treatments did not work for him. He had to have his bladder removed after cancer went there, and then he had part of his lymphatic system removed after it went there. It was not fun and we all miss him a lot. Stay on top of your exams guys.
there is probably a cure for cancer being suppressed by the 1% of the 1% sadly - not to be insensitive but : there is a criminal syndicate operating in Jamestown, NY and originating from Las Vegas, NV. Please help!!
@@citi-zenred-pill2479 Umm. If there was a cure for cancer do you think the pharmacy industry wouldn’t try to profit off it ASAP? What good does it do a few 1%-ers to hide the cure for cancer? Sure they can cure themselves I suppose but logically it makes no sense to hide something worth trillions in profit.
Love that you highlighted the baby-to-breast part because sadly, a lot of doctors don't follow that guideline. Early initiation of breastfeeding is affected.
What they don’t tell you with labor is that there are SO many fluids and stuff coming out you don’t even know (or care) if you poop. And that’s not even talking about the unimaginable pain.
When my little girl was born, it was hands down the best moment in my life. She was a very healthy 8lbs 7oz. I was afraid to hold her, I had this irrational fear that I'd drop her even though i knew I wouldn't. All 5 family members who came to the birth held her first (after tummy time with her mom), I had to pshyce myself up to grab her.
It's a very normal fear, and women get it too. My two best friends had babies like a month apart and both told me that they were afraid they would accidentally drop their children, og if they would just let go. One of them got angry for a moment with her boyfriend after he had let baby have tummy time on the floor because she was sure that one of them were going to step on the baby and hurt it. Afterwards she knew it was irrational and of course apologized, but my point is, that the fear response is normal, and often comes so we will be more careful with the little humans.
@@shoshitaketakeyani3275 try giving birth to a baby half that size and come tell me that an 8lb baby is fragile 😂😂😂. An 8lb baby is a monster not a fragile creature
Crazy med story, when my older brother was born, he was born with his umbilical cord wrapped around his neck and was blueish purple, apparently he moved so much that it got tied up, he also almost died when he ate a pb and J(he's allergic to peanuts). He's had 2 near death experiences
My menstrual cramps were actually worse than my labor pains and my labor pains were extreme. It wasn't an easy ordeal. I ended up having to have an emergency C-section after being in labor for 30 something hours. Turned out that my son was holding onto the umbilical cord as if he were ringing a bell. Anyway, since giving birth, I've only had 3 extremely painful periods in the last ten years. 🤷🏻♀️ I have no idea why my menstrual pain became normal after being pregnant and having a C-section, but I'm not complaining.
When I was having my first baby, a 9lbs 10oz boy, I had an epidural and when the nurse started seeing him crowning the doctor was not quite in position yet. The nurse literally told me "okay don't push, don't breathe, don't fart..." as she was waving the doc over. of course I laughed and the doc caught my baby. Yeah, that tearing is no joke lol
Genuinely seeing these videos and how informative they can be is reassuring that they're well informed and most know how to do their jobs and you're in good hands
My dad was diagnosed with prostate cancer last year very early on, (he's fine, had surgery to take the cancer out), and my Uncle just passed from prostate cancer. Getting checked is always a good thing
9:02 Well thank you Doctor Mike. That was so wholesome I really appreciate the way you said partner as well instead of just husband and im sure plenty other noticed as well. Your a good dude.
I just watched the one where Ned simulates a 14 hour labor and honestly I don’t know how a woman can be like “lets have more” 😭😭 I am scared to even have one
I didnt watch the vídeo yet so i dont know if the pain scale is when woman are on adrenaline mode and maybe some reduce pain medicaments, but if dont then the real pain would probably be Much smaller
From the little I know, (I've only had one child myself, and he was born by C-section after a 36-hour labour) there is a form of 'Mummy Amnesia' that goes on after childbirth. You remember feeling miserable and scared at times, and thinking stuff like "oh my god, this hurrrrttts, and I just wanna go to sleeeep!" but you can't recall the exact level of pain and exhaustion that inspired those thoughts. Like, you remember you felt enough pain and exhaustion to want to cry, but if someone were to ask you to rate it out of 10, with 0 being painless and 10 being 'more pain than you can deal with and still remain conscious,' you'd be like "Well... I remember it was enough to make me cry, so I'd guess it must've been over 5, but I got through it okay so it couldn't have been a 10... I dunno, somewhere in the middle, maybe?"
The honest answer is that it's because babies are worth it in the end. Is it miserable? Yes. But you just have to keep telling yourself that the pain will come to an end. And if you live in a place where analgesia is an option, then you won't have to feel nearly as much pain. For me at least, as bad as the pain was, the worst part of labor with my first was the abject terror that my baby might be stillborn or that I might bleed to death. For me at least, the main determining factor in whether or not I wanted more kids wasn't, "Will I make it through another 24~ish hours of L&D?" I knew that to be a yes. Rather, it was, "Will I be able to handle another 9 months of prenatal suffering, plus months of postpartum suffering, plus those terrible newborn/infant months of sleep deprivation?" It's like whenever anyone finds out I was in the military, they're like, "Wow! You made it through bootcamp?!" For most of us, that is the easiest and shortest part of our time in service. Trust me, the rest of it was much harder (in various ways) and didn't end after 3 months.
I agree. There is no experience like meeting and holding a human that grew and lived inside of you. The moment they look into your eyes you forget all about the pain.
All of my dad's brothers aside from one have had prostate cancer, as well as my grandfather (their father). My dad was the only one with an aggressive type that eventually took his life. I have two younger brothers and three sons, I will be bugging all of them to get early exams!
some doctors out there should not be trusted - there is a criminal syndicate operating in Jamestown, NY and originating from Las Vegas, NV. Please help!!
My husband stood behind me & saw the nurse giving me an epidural. He nearly passed out when he saw the needle go in my spine. But I'd been in so much pain for so many hours I was like "GIMME THE DRUGS!!!!!!" 😂
We women are freaking amazing, I've got 3 kids, pushed them out myself only had gas and air for the 1st and 2nd. Wasn't enough time with the 3rd lol and my god does it hurt. The ring of fire.
I had an epidural with my first, unmedicated with my second. I didn't experience the ring of fire. I had no break between contractions for the final 60 - 90 minutes before pushing with my second baby. The pushing stage was overwhelming. It was just a blur.
15 years ago to this very day I had my youngest, and I can confirm that women DO sometimes poop while pushing. I did with him. I look at it as God's way of saying "I got you, boo" because let me tell you, constipation after an episiotomy is NOT fun and I was happy that at least some of the pipes were cleared ahead of time. And to be honest, at that point every ounce of modesty is out the window and you couldn't care less (and neither does the medical team.)
Lol I completely agree. Honestly they were shocked at how careless I really was Once I had my contractions (first starting around 6 cm), the epidural (with ZERO feeling) and later in the postpartum ward (nursing/bathroom tries/walking around) - I couldn’t care less if my chest or rear or any other areas were exposed. For me it was like something as small as modesty when you’re literally in such an existential life changing experience, I could NOT care any less. But my doctors and nurses were like “oh OH, are we okay to come in? Are you okay with not being covered? Do we have your permission to see x and y and z?” I was like - if you told me you needed to see my brain I’d let you. So yeah I don’t care if you see my nether regions EVEN THOUGH the whole reason I’m here is TO have a baby lol which for me was happening vaginally. I get it though, they are worried about the legal and pc side of things whereas I’m literally stripped back to the primal level of humanity and only concerned about performing natures miracle and survival.
I'm normally pretty big on modesty, but for some reason, when I was in labor, not as much. Probably largely because of the pain, but probably also because by the time the big day finally arrives, you've already had how many cervical checks and whatnot? That and you realize that the task at hand requires easy access to the nether regions.
"The baby shoots out?!" A little story time: in 90's, my mom was waiting for the time to give birth come, she was in a hospital, there were no staff around (the hospital then got closed down soon cause it was poorly maintained and honestly the staff didn't care, idk why...) anyway, if it wasn't for an old janitor lady, my brother would have died hitting the floor... she caught him lol now he's healthy at 23 years old
Videos like this (the prostate/testicular exam portion) are so important & I wish we could normalize it more. The exam is fast & only needs to be done once a year, depending on your history of course, it takes seconds & it's over. My grandfather refused prostate exams until he couldn't ignore the discomfort any longer & he had very progressed cancer. He was in his 60's so quite young & he went through surgery & treatment & went into remission but didn't remain in remission so he had to repeat the process. He just got sicker & sicker as his body was broken down until his doctors told him the treatment was causing more damage than the cancer but he couldn't even live at home any longer. He passed away 15 years before his younger wife & a simple exam could have potentially prevented most of what he went through because of early detection so guys please please get your prostate exams.
My mom spend her career treating patients with prostate cancer and testicular cancer. Her youngest ever patient was 13 years old. Boys and men need to perform self exams for testicular cancer, just like women are recommended to do for breast cancer!
When I was a teen my pain was so bad I had blackouts, I would just drop to the floor usually hitting my head on the way down. My doctor put me on birth control to regulate them and reduce the chance of me having blackouts. Always funny how guys get creeped out about their prostate exam too, they should try a smear test! :D
Yeah, my mom’s experience having me was not pleasant cause she didn’t know what was going on with me and even the doctors didn’t know what was going on back in 1996 until I was out. From what my mom told me, the umbilical cord was wrapped around my body and neck and I was holding the cord in my hand and squeezing it while I was inside. I was an early baby and the heaviest among my older sisters. Thankfully, I lived and I appreciate my mom’s strength more than I can imagine.
Exactly right when you said they have to make sure they don't damage the collar bone or neck. When I was being born I was stuck beneath my moms hip bone and my heartrate dropped to nothing so the doctor had to reach up inside my mom and hold my head while two nurses helped pull me out. They broke my collarbone but I was brought back to life and put in the NICU on oxygen for a couple hours while my mother hemmoraged they got her stable and I was safe, however the doctor didn't tell my mother they broke my collarbone she found out 2 months after I was born when she brought me in for nonstop crying and severe sleep deprivation. I was okay but she was pissed the doctors didn't tell her about my collarbone when the paperwork stated they consulted with the mother.
I'm glad you mentioned that you you need to be careful about the shoulders of the baby when delivering it because it can cause physical damage. I have brachial plexus paralysis because of a mistake they did when delivering me. At the time the hospital tried to hide it from my mum but she noticed something was wrong with me when she looked at me because I was asleep with my arm in a weird position. She grabbed my arm and it fell. She called the nurse and after a lot of persisting, they said something went wrong (although they didn't actually say what happened that caused it). Gladly, after a lot of physical therapy (surgery was an option but the doctor said there was the risk of never being able to move my arm again) I regained movement on my arm, although it doesn't move the same way as a normal arm.
Well period pains are as bad as heart attacks now, I think birth is probably 10x worse than a heart attack. Dr. Mike is the only doctor I actually trust at this point😌 Edit: look at Dr. Mike lookin out for our vjs! I actually met a girl younger than me that had a kid and her vj tore because the baby came out too fast, she did get it fixed though
When my daughter was born, my husband quickly helped me out of my shirt so we could do baby to breast, and nothing is more terrifying than when the baby doesn't come to you. The doctors took her and tried to leave the room without saying anything to me. I went into a panic immediately. My husband said, "If she doesn't hold the baby, there's going to be a problem here." They seemed so exasperated at the very idea. I held her long enough for a picture before they took her away, again without telling me why. I later learned she was having trouble and had to be rushed to the NICU, but someone couldn't have told me that?? She ended up with jaundice, couldn't regulate her own body temperature, and her blood sugar numbers were wrong. She was in an isolette for days before she could come home. I get doctors wanted to help her, but a little communication please!
Friend works in the NICU: Generally, no, they don't tell you until after taking care of the baby. It's common practice to bring baby to NICU then tell mom after; because time is of the essence and it puts too much stress on the mother that it can cause other health issues. It's easier, and generally safer, to bring the baby right away, and then come back to explain what's happening. Some mothers react poorly and insist that their baby is fine, that the NICU is unnecessary, and try to refuse to give the baby up wasting precious time. They fight against the doctors, say that the baby just needs skin contact or to be held by their mother. Some mothers immediately start to panic while still running on the adrenaline and high of emotions that they have panic attacks, heart issues, even pass out. There's even been instances of mothers passing out because the NICU in their minds, means their baby will likely die and it's too much for them to handle in the moment. While it's not the case for all mothers, it's the case for enough that it's become standard to not tell the Mother until after they can take care of the infant.
My son was premature and we knew he was coming for weeks before he was actually born. We expected a few weeks in the NICU. My doctor looked me in the eye just before delivery and said that we would do delayed cord clamping and baby to breast as long as he was doing well enough. We were able to do so for a short time. It took the doctor literally 5 seconds to say those words. I think they should be included in every delivery. It was reassuring to know we were on the same page as the medical team.
I hope your little one is doing great now! 🥰 For what little it may be worth, it's super common for newborns to end up with jaundice and temperature regulation issues, but it's still scary and sad to see ANYTHING wrong with your baby, for sure! 🥺
@@violettababenko4847 why should anyone listen to you (inexperienced, uneducated) over real doctors and nurses with valuable experience? Reality does not care about your feelings.
Dr. Mike, Just found your channel. This video is probably my favorite so far. I haven't laughed this hard in a long time. I think I'm going to watch it again.
I've given birth to 3 babies. I definitely pooped with my last one 😅, most of the times the nurses are so good about cleaning it up nice and quick so you never know. Unfortunately with my last it was a fairly traumatic birth (he was seconds away from being a C-section) since they were more worried about making sure he was good (rightfully so) they missed a few spots when cleaning up, it was on the sheets and my baby 🤢 🤣. I wiped it away from him & went on to enjoy my gorgeous newborn. A little poop is nothing to be worried about after you have given birth lol. It's not a very memorable thing, I honestly rarely remember that when remembering his birth, unless someone brings it up. The most memorable thing is always the beautiful baby at the end ❤️
Because papa smears involve scraping, and that speculum needs to be closed CAREFULLY and tugged gently first to make sure you aren't caught in it. Can't even describe that pain but I never went back to that doctor.
@@Erika29.17 I get a bit nervous at check-ups so it's always a little uncomfortable for me, and the pinching isn't super nice either. Maybe you've got a nervous vagina too, lol.
OMG!!! Finally He reacts to Try Guys!!! I have been obsessed with them forever, it’s awesome to see favorite channels react to other channels you’re familiar with! Keep it up
When I was born my tall but delicate mother pressed my 6 foot dads hand so hard that he couldn't work for a few days (he was a surgeon, now retired). So you mayby have to watch the dad for more than just fainting 😉
A nurse gave me her hand to hold. Poor thing. I finally saw her going down and trying to get out of my grasp. Poor thing. I bet she's never offered a hand to hold since.
I was with my cousin when she gave birth, that baby shot out if her like a cannon ball, the doctor fumbled and missed baby and dad caught baby before she could hit the floor. That was a wild .4 seconds.
My mom was a childbirth educator and doula when I was very young (went back to school and got her associates in nursing when I was 5-7). I can say her techniques for calming/soothing/helping mothers during childbirth also always helped me when I was in pain of any sort growing up too. I felt extremely lucky to be living with her again and have her with me when I had a kidney stone at 23. We had no idea what was wrong at first, and when the pain kept getting worse, we first went to Urgent Care and then were referred to go to the ER instead. In total, I was in excruciating pain for about 5-6 hours with having no idea what was wrong before finally getting morphine (and subsequently a CT scan diagnosing it was a kidney stone). My mom was with me after the first 2 hours when I decided I definitely needed medical care, trying to soothe me and calm me down for almost 4 hours. I remember waiting in my room in the ER just waiting to be helped for at least 30 minutes while all I could do was cry, whimper, moan, and basically hyperventilating from being in so much pain. When asked how much pain I had been in, I said 9 (saving 10 only for probably childbirth), but with my mom holding my hand and spending about 10 minutes helping me with deeper, slower breathing, and trying to not think of JUST the pain, she was able to bring the pain level down to about a 7 or 6 before anyone at the ER gave me anything. It unfortunately happened a second time in the middle of the night a couple months later, but at least we knew what it was that time. I had to wake her up at about 2:30am to take me to the ER again but I hadn't slept any, so I tried to rest as much as I could on the ER bed while she was soothing me, and after I was given morphine again and the pain stopped, we rested together on the bed while waiting to be discharged. I can only imagine how much she was able to help mothers giving birth, and I know if I ever chose to have a baby for some reason, I would want her by my side as my nurse/doula/support person.
How sweet that ur mom is a doula, it is good when somebody as close as family is in gyn field , not just medical, anything eg. Midwife, doula,, obgyn, etc. You are lucky, love ur mom Also, labour is not just belly ache, it is hip pain, legs numbing, breathlessness or total exhaustion, hands pain, pain radiating throughout body ,feeling of something being pulped down, stretched, sqyeezed and also incontinency, and pooping It is discomfort at many kevels Some women get breast tenderness even Hence, it is advisable to let her move in labor and not be supine throughout labor
5:20 You should try labor pain simulator! You could compare with kidney stones pain! My labor wasn't painful for me... gallbladder attack is much much worse.
WAIT. 2:57. YOOOO THATS A GAME CHANGER. No one has told me this. So I just grew up with this notion that when I hit 50 like I'll be called into a doctors office and theyre gonna prostate exam me on the spot. Like a mandatory vaccine kinda thing. Idk I'm only 30 so its a way off anyways but dang that makes me happy that is now a case basis rather than just a mandatory thing
As someone who gave birth unmedicated at a birthing center.... The guys saying "How do I difuse the situation... like emotionally" and Dr.Mike saying "Get the baby out." That was the hardest I laughed all day. You're not wrong Dr.Mike... you're not wrong.

According to one of my aunts, her husband (my uncle) vomited while she was giving birth. They had to remove him from the room. My aunt said that even though she was in horribly pain while giving birth, she laugh for about 3 minutes.

While me when giving birth, I squeezed my husband's hand really hard everytime I got the contractions.
@@aaraujo306 congrats to you. Most women are not like the movies. Most women do have it together. But sometimes u can scream if you want too. Calm births are the best births. But at the end of the day, I think we can all agree that it is painful.
I love how he never fails to mention nurse's role in the procedures. Thank you, Doctor Mike. I love your channel.
If anything, it was understated. When I gave birth to my son, I only saw one nurse almost my entire time in the L&D room. That one L&D nurse would check up on me periodically until it came time to push. Then she stayed with me, but was still the only one in the room until the baby crowned. Then it felt like every hospital employee suddenly materialized in my room. Even the midwife was only there for the duration of the grand finale.
Yep! Nurses are the heroes for sure. With each of my deliveries, it were the nurses who got me through. Kudos
Yep, and so deserved. I gave birth on thursday and for the majority of that time, only the midwife was around. And what can I say - she was a legend. She saw exactly what I needed - which was mostly being in a birthing tub, and being as undisturbed as possible - and she shielded me from all outside interference. I literally heard her on the phone, when the doctor called her about the progress, and wanted her to examine me physically. And the midwife just told the doctor "I don't see any reason to do that", and I was SO GRATEFUL. I was able to stay in that bath and just have my child, without anyone fingering my cervix every hour, telling me I'm not fully dilated yet. I know I am not. If I was, I'd be pushing. ;) So yeah - cheers to nurses and midwives!
@@SuperReisetasche congratulations!! I hope you both are well!
@@jujuba2099 Thank you, we're all happy and well =)
My wife's and my first was a c-section. Doctor said, "Stand up, dad, take a look at your daughter!" ... I had no warning that my daughter would be dark red and covered in blood and that my wife's abdomen would still be wide open. No they didn't have her organs all over the place like this guy says but to say that my view on THIS side of the curtain was substantially different than on THAT SIDE of the curtain is an understatement. I didn't faint or anything but I do remember my first thoughts were, "OMFG JESUS TAPDANCING CHR... IS SHE OKAY?!?!?!?!??" but figured if the doctor's not freaking out this must be "normal".
😂🤣😂
Sir 😂🤚🏼
Dr should've warned you🤣🤣🤣
It looks like the Chest Burster tbh.
LMAAOOOOO
I’ve given birth naturally 3 times and I’m pretty sure I pooped with the last one, but that nurse was SO quick, 2 years later I’m still not sure if I did or not 😂 She was a champion.
Hahahaha
I heard that give birth also feels like pooping even if you dont poop. its because of the pressure in the same area, but this could be also a vert subjective experience
The baby's head puts pressure on the rectum so anything that's in there gets pushed out as the baby gets closer to the opening. Not pretty but no real way around it 😅. Glad your nurse was awesome!
Yeah, I had an enema to kick my second delivery into gear, there was definitely some pooping.. 😂

"Get the baby out" never heard a better statement in my life. Mom of two unmedicated births.
Thank you for saying "unmedicated". It annoys me when people talk about "natural birth" as if it's unnatural to get your baby out in any way that safe and effective.
@@laurao3274 call me stupid, but tbh, I used to think that "Natural birth" meant healthy baby and mom at birth.... So I always wondered "un-natural birth" would mean birth with mom or/and baby complications??? But I was so embarrassed to ask. Till I googled it.... Unmedicated sounds more like the right term to use.
I was aborted :D
It was a joke, A JOKE
@BDWriter I also was a very stubborn infant, so my mother had to get a C-Section as well. She said they gave her meds to make her not vomit and then she puked them back up 😂
Mom of 6 natural, unmedicated births here... yelled that phrase every time😂
As a mom of 5 that has experienced many different labor and births scenarios, nothing brings me more joy than seeing men do labor simulators and learn about labor and birth!!!😂😁👏🏻
Remember that childbirth is "only" an 8 on the pain scale. 9 and 10 and much more painful.
@@kenf3539 The pain scale is relative per person to be fair. I had 2nd degree burns that covered my entire thigh and I described it as an 8. I doubt it was anywhere near birthing pain though.

I’m so glad to see a man experience labor pain!! My husband was talking w his friend one day and they were talking about how I got an epidural after 15hours of labor and he goes “WOW she couldn’t handle just a LITTLE BIT of pain?!!?” 🙄 It just makes me so mad to see how a lot of men think it’s not that painful bc ‘women have been doing it since the beginning of time’ so it can’t be that bad! 🤦♀️ Well guess what? So have broken bones and kidney stones and millions of other painful things. Some men are just straight up stupid
I AGREE SM OMG
I'd love to see that dude have a tooth extracted without any numbing...
Next time get them tried too. For 15hrs straight.
Men have also been kicked repeatedly in the groin since the beginning of time. Just saying
@@amyulisse773 Not sure what that has anything to do with my comment whatsoever lmao. clearly this guy has never experienced that based on his idiotic assumptions. Maybe he should tho! Thank for the idea!!! 😉
I liked that you mentioned how good nurses are at coaching. At my son’s birth, the nurse did everything until the very end when the Dr took over the actual baby catch. She did almost the whole thing, coaching, checking me, checking baby’s vitals, everything.
I really appreciate that DR. Mike took the time to explain the goal of an epidural & that you should still feel sensation so you can push.
It’s a common misconception that you won’t feel anything after the epidural is placed & for a lot of women, that is scary. I am a survivor of sexual assault. I was terrified to get an epidural because I thought I would be numb & unable to move my own body. The last couple hours I eventually got one & I was amazed that I could still move my own body & feel everything, but the pain was very dull. I wish this was talked about more openly.
In the past, it never crossed my mind to have an explanation before a procedure is done to me, to ask the name of the medication and what it's for.
I think it depends of the personality of the physician. But if the answer is "Mind your F... business, I'm the doctor not you". I would leave, well... if I can. 😳
I remember asking my gynecologist about endometriosis. I like his answer and the way he got all agitated. A lot of them are doing this job because they are passionate, and sometimes it show, which is makes me feel more secure as a patient.
Only if you're in active Labour though, not so much if you have an emergency section when you are not anywhere near labour
Yeah....I was told that was what I should have expected from the epidural. Being able to move that is. I couldn't move anything and couldn't tell if I was pushing or not. I was numb up to my chest. I imagined where my diaphragm was and went from there. 33 hours of labor and emergency c section later everything is fine. Definitely going to ask for less epidural next time.
30+ years ago doctors were very different from Dr. Mike.
No explanations were given, just that it was going to be done.
During early labor with my first child I received an epidural that knocked me out for quite some time. The labor pains stopped completely and I was out like a light. My than mother-in-law was so furious & worried about the both of us. Everything lasted over 21 hours before my son was born. I ended up having stitches after the birth process because I was torn open.
Oh wow I had never even considered that. I asked for spinal blocks because I didn’t want to feel ANYTHING but I totally understand why that would scare you. I really hope you’re doing well.
Thank you for this. My dad was diagnosed with Prostate Cancer last year- he is 55. They caught it very early and he had 5 rounds or radiation, every other day. He is doing amazing now. So glad they caught it so early. It's so important to have regular checkups. I haven't been good about that, but I plan to start making regular appointments for check ups.
I wish him the best?
wish your dad and you the best! 🙌
don't plan them, start doing it.👍🏻
I asked my husband if he would want to try a labor or period simulator and the man "nope. I'm a man, we aren't meant for that much pain. I am well aware of and empathize with your pain every month. I'm not brave enough yo deal with that." Lol. He really is the best tho. 6' 250lbs of muscle just loving on me and bringing me chocolate and menstrual products every month lol. He says he gets me chocolate, not to comfort me, but to make sure I don't sacrifice him to the menstrual gods.
The only good thing about having a period is your man getting you chocolate.
This is THE best comment. Give your hubby an extra hug for us. lol
He sounds like a keeper. 😂
If menstral cramps went away with a small sacrifice of a human person I think men and women would have a very different social relationship XD
Smart man!
Doctor Mike saying "the dad... or the partner" is actually really nice to hear and I didn't expect myself to appreciate it as much as I did
because people are sensetive and get triggered by anything remotely offensive
were you offended when they were using the birth simulator, and said "mother," instead of "birthing person"? 🙄

Dr Mike: "Get the baby out"
As a mother who has had two natural births, I laughed because is true! You just want the baby to get out. hahahah
My mom had 5 natural births, me and my 4 sisters lol. Only boy yes.
Happily for me, when I was finally out of transition and able to push, it felt good to push. It wasn't dissimilar to that last lap of a competition swimming race-lots of hard and tiring work-and not at all painful. All three of my labors were about eleven hours of first stage labor, uncomfortable but not torn ligament painful, followed by a short 10-20 minute second stage.
Boys laugh when they see videos,they faint when their women's give birth,they die of pain when they experience the simulater😂,it needs to become a thing😂😂
I had severe gall stones a few years ago that were mincing my gall bladder up. The surgeon who took my gall bladder out happened to be a mother and told me, " well now you know how painful child birth is."
"I see why epidurals are thing."
"Yep, but we gave you morphine."
Try experiencing that pain unmedicated for 24 hours 😄
@@kathyryder828 36 hours. First pregnancy. Multiples. No epi
Can you all just leave the joke alone???? No one really cares about the fact you didn't get an epidural okay 😑
When I had a kidney stone that wouldn’t pass, two doses of morphine did nothing for the pain. Finally for the third dose they gave me something called Delaudid and about 15 minutes later, pain relief finally slipped over me like a cozy blankie and I passed out with relief.
You would think seeing me screaming like a maniac for hours while waiting for test results, they might have started with that, or at least made it the second dose!
They say the same about having a hip replacement. Have my gallbladder out was not as painful.
I love how most of us here aren’t even doctors,but because of us watching Doctor Mike we know more medical stuff. Not just that,but he gives us good information.
For sure!
Agreed!
Yeah!
Hopefully I'll start studying to become a doctor next year
Yeah, my friend were surprised because i hate to learn medical things in school lol
Except if its Dr. Mike or another Dr. YT channel
The more I learn, the less I want to use my uterus. Like I already didn’t want children to start with, but this really sealed the deal
Amen! I wanted to get rid of mine in my twenties, but sadly, they won't let you do that, even if you know you never want kids
True... I'm scared af about being pregnant and giving birth (even thought I'm single). And I'm thinking about my sisters. They all already had a kid even at my age.
One of my sister like to have more kids and the other one feel like she's traumatize for being pregnant so she only had 1 kid.
Medical school sealed it for me.. too much risks and inconvenience
I used to be the same, scared to death by the idea of having some big living organism in me and pushing it out... Then one day I found out I was pregnant and the fear just went away. I can tell you, people - that moment, when they put my son on my chest, was the best moment in my life. However cheesy it may sound, it's true. What I wanted to say is that if you ever find yourself thinking about having a child, don't let the fear of pain or trauma stop you.
@@KatherineSinahon
High school was enough for me lol. I can't imagine what will happen to me once I enter med school haha
I have never given birth but I watched my wife give birth and watching that was the most stressful thing I've ever done. Your loved one is in pain and there is nothing that can be done but for them to push through and that is not easy. Obviously she had a harder time than I did though.
Got to love how Dr. Mike isn't cracking up laughing over the subject matter despite how funny the try guys' reactions are. Instead, he treats the topic with seriousness, respect, and an educational value! Major props to him! 👌🏻
What’s funny is a lot of “labor simulators” you can buy online top out at a pain that is felt by most women/people who have decently painful menstrual cramps, not even the pain of a labor contraction. I’m glad the try guys at least went with the more accurate simulation.
@@KitchenWitchery I (a male in late 20s) had to have a emergency surgery to have my gull bladder removed after 3 hours of the worst pain i'd ever felt in my life. Had enough stones in there i could of redone a drive way (doctor's words) and was messing with my liver. Sitting in the room waiting on the anesthesia a nurse there said she had to have her gull bladder removed and that pain is very similar to contractions when she gave birth. Forget that.
@@WhoThisGuy515 and labour contractions can last for up to 24 hours (established labour). Imagine 24 hours of the type of pain you experienced before having your gallbladder removed!
My second labour was unmedicated. Fortunately it was only 12 hours. The last 4 hours were very intense.
can we please stop with this trash? Some women barely feel their periods, while others hurts a lot. It completly depends from women to women. Why pretend it's super painfull for every women? Also if your periods cramps are that bad you need to see a doctor, you probably have something wrong with your ovaries. THat is not normal.
@@paulogaspar8295 I said most, not all. And I also said decently painful as in average pain, which most “labor simulators” that you can buy only top out at an average cramp pain. But also the fact of the matter is quite a few people have very painful periods for the simple reason of that’s how their body works. Yes it can sometimes be due to endometriosis or ovarian cysts but most of the time it’s truly just painful cramps.
@@kathyryder828 I was in active labor for 36 hours with my oldest child, and prodromal labor with painful contractions for 4 days before that. Labor can last longer than 24 hours. It also took me 4 hours of active pushing before he was born. That labor and delivery was horrible.
My second baby really DID shoot out. To be fair, I warned them that I was feeling a lot of pressure. 2 practice pushes and I felt her head travel what felt like multiple inches (probably wasn't that far - just felt like it) and pop out. The nurse panicked and yelled at me to stop pushing and at the other nurse to get the doctor immediately (poor lady - she was a wonderful nurse but I think that surprised all of us). The doctor came racing in and barely had time to put gloves on. Kiddo had the cord wrapped around her neck a few times so they moved the cord quickly. Despite the scare, she was perfectly healthy. She's a beautiful and intelligent almost 2yr old now.
As a former L&D nurse, I am VERY concerned about that woman’s C/S!!! Her innards were all removed?! 😂 Lol! I’m sure that’s what it looked like to him. Thanks for another great video, @DoctorMike! ☺️
I'm an RT that has seen my fair share of CS. I was also very confused by what they described. Definitely nothing I have ever seen.
As an OR nurse who is with in CS operations both emergency ones and planned ones I think the man saw a placenta and the umbilical cord attached to it in a bowl. Placenta is allways taken to testing after it is removed. Midwife takes it and then it is measured, weighed and some blood tests are taken from the umbilical cord.
As a Dad, I can confirm placenta looks like a crazy weird organ. I knew it was placenta, but I definitely could imagine someone getting confused about it if they didn't know much beforehand. I have a picture of my wife's placenta on my phone(she requested it).
@@mantailuaa and every once in awhile RT has to go get some blood from it. It's the worst.
@@mantailuaa that makes way more sense! I knew he was wrong.
Wonder if Dr Mike would try the pain simulator himself…
Liking this because I need to see this happen!
And if he lasts more than 5 mins. Every time these tests are done the guys try them for like 5 mins and not even on the top setting. Where as we contract every minute for hours 😂
Omg please!!! That would be awesome
This!!!! ⬆️💯💯
I'll go toe to toe with him on pain tolerance.
My grandpa had prostate cancer, it went away for about 20 years but came back about 4 years ago.. It's gone now and he is in his early 80s and living a great life.
That's wonderful! How is he now? :)
2:07 Being a nurse specialized in urology my teenage son has learned to test his balls from an early age. You really have to ”know” your testicles to notice abnormalities in them. I have seen in my OR career few cases of young men under 30’s who have come to hospital because of back pains and ended up in OR to get their testicles removed because of cancer that has allready spread to bones and lungs. Very sad moments even to us nurses. Test and feel your testicles young men!
Who should my son go to for this type of test?
@@angelataylor5241 It is not a ”test” it is only a way to touch and learn his testicles. His own eyes and hands are the best, he learns how they look and feel, if there are little bumps, veins, lines etc. When he knows how his testicles are and how they feel, he can notice at once if there is something different in them, if they get sensitive, if there is pain in some place or if they start to look different. During shower is easy to learn. If you talk about the balls like every other thing, he feels comfortable to tell if he feels that something is not right and then you can go and visit your family doctor and from there to a specialist, urologists, if needed.
Is there a doctor or place to get info on what is 'normal', like Brest examination info?
Same goes for girls/women....you really have to know your breasts!

What I love about Dr. Mike is, how professional he is being while kindly explaining everything. That's really brilliant. This is how we educate people. Thank you Doctor.
5:29 I said this in my child development class when my teacher asked why women are given ice chips I said “bc women often poop or throw up during labor so they want you eating the least amount of solid food possible prior to birth” (and also bc of the general reason everyone’s told to fast before medical procedures: aspiration, but I didn’t say that part) and my teacher said no that’s not right and everyone acted like I was a weirdo talking about poop. And it was embarrassing even though I was right.
That was 3 years ago and I still think about how embarrassed I was and then get angry bc I was right.
It's ok babe.
What did the teacher say was the “actual reason?”
It’s not because of poop. They couldn’t care less. It’s in case you need a c section. You can’t eat before surgeries
It's nothing to do with pooping or throwing up. It's in case you need to have an emergency c-section under general anaesthetic.
@@EmEm78 extremely rare to undergo an emergency section under general anaesthetic. It's not necessary for the woman to be unconscious in the least
My grandfather was diagnosed with prostate cancer near when I was born. For that reason (according to my mother) I was his favourite grandchild. I came at the right time for him, I distracted him from his cancer. He would always ask my mother to bring me up to their house. I am so honoured and blessed I had a loving relationship with my grandfather ❤️❤️
When he said “they took out my wife’s liver and intestines!” I literally started laughing😂😂 I had a medicated natural birth with my daughter but I’ve watched enough Grey’s Anatomy to know they defs don’t do that during a typical c-section😂😂😂
Hello Marissa
I thought during a c section they always have to move organs so they can get to the uterus?
@@vin2164 when you’re pregnant all of your organs get pushed up into your ribs to make room for the baby so nope lol they don’t take all your organs out to remove the baby during a c section ☺️
@@vin2164 no, you can access a full or empty uterus via a surgical incision without having to move organs "out of the way".
Pretending that watching grey's anatomy actually teaches you anything realistic 😂
I love that you pointed out that the umbilical cord could catch around the neck. My family didn't know this was a thing, until they lost my sister to her cord being wrapped around her throat. So people alerting people to this means a lot.
I remember a friend who lived in a really remote area, her and her husband were both instructed what to do should this happen if they weren't able to get emergency medical assistance.
Always love your videos. You are just so... well, real.
I have met a to. Of docs (family with lots of medical issues). Not many are like you: honest, really, trustworthy
My Dad had a prostate exam and just as the doctor went to do the exam, his arm brushed the light switch and accidentally turned the lights off. It was an awkward but hilarious mishap.
A resident delivered my first child and I'm pretty sure he was deeply afraid because he was making all kinds of shocked and worried noises. They had to give me an episiotomy and use the vacuum thing to get my kid out + my baby was in decels which made my labor a semi-complex one and poor guy looked like he was more afraid than I was. Plus I had labored for 46 hours before I was ready to push so I was EXHAUSTED and completely unimpressed by his work at the time. Turns out, I was his first delivery and while my first kid was a girl, I named my second child Zachary after the Doc who delivered my first one.
You delivered the baby. The doctor just assisted!
6:32
Dr Mike: "What kind of chopshop did these guys go to?"
On the topic of the epidural... can totally confirm in my case. I originally wanted to have the birth as unmedicated as possible, but it had to be induced due to high blood pressure on my part and the contractions started to make me push at 7pm. at 12:30 am I was so high on the gas stuff that I actually felt sick when I had it to the levels of actually helping, so they offered the epidural. That was a very easy yes for me. It still took 5 hours to get my girl out afterwards. I don't know what I'd had done otherwise.
My husband was a total champion though. Fully invovled in everything, the nurses made him work, actually, and he saw everything (not full frontal, but he was positioned so to hold my hand, and from there he watched it all. He said it was kind of freaky to see her head poke out of me before she fully came out)
I had to have quite some attention afterwards, though, because I just wouldn't stop bleeding. That took some time, two doctors and about 5-7 nurses and/or midwifes to get sorted out... I lost track because the medication they gave me made me naseous and I had a newborn baby in my arm. But it got busy, and there was quite some traffic ^^
Everything went well in the end, for which I am very thankful.
Long story short, it is very easy to say one will do it one way or the other before experiencing it. In 9,5 out of 10 cases it won't happen as anticipated, though. I originally though about a home birth. That story would and could have escalated very fast if I had done that, I believe.
But that is just my case. I am deeply in awe of every momma giving birth, no matter how. Do what makes you most comfortable and be flexible, and it will be fine in the end. C-Sec, no C-Sec, emergency C-Sec (not that anyone would actually choose that, but if it is necessary...), waterbirth, Birthing house, at home, in a hospital.
As long as both (or how many may have lived in utero until then) come out doing well on the other side, all is fine.
A friend of mine won't let her hubby live down his stories of how he got stitches (from banging his head on the chair) during his wife's labor, and reminds him that: a. she was pushing out a baby, b. she had stitches in tender areas due to needing an episiotomy. ...
i remember a OB/GYN joking that the tradition of the father waiting outside the delivery room was so they only had one patient.
@@margotrosendorn6371 , maybe not such a bad tradition.
I wouldn't let him live it down either!
and I'll bet he whined about his stitches, and if there'd be a scar...meanwhile having had no concept of his wife's recovery
I love his content, and now I can be smarter then my parents when it comes to medical shows now 😂😂😂😂

07:52 My little sister was actually born with her umbilical core wrapped around her neck, and she apparently looked like a blueberry. She also claimed, for about 11 years, that she “thought it was jewelry” so she put it on 💀💀
3:17 i lost it when Eugene said Missionary style
he is representing the gays so well
It gave me a laugh picturing the doctor turning around to see him with his knees next to his ears, ready for his missionary prostate exam
I laughed my bum off with the labor pain… having been through labor and delivery three times now… i appreciate that these guys tried to understand what women go through.
6:00 My wife was in labor for like 18 hours before she finally caved and asked for an epidural. Problem was, at that time her contractions were closer together than the amount of time it took them to put the epidural in, so she had to sit upright with her face in a chiropractor looking thing while I wrapped my arms around her and held her still so that when she contracted, she moved as little as possible in case the needle was still in her back at that particular moment.
If you're even admitted to the hospital, then the contractions are probably gonna be closer together than the time it takes to put in the epidural. It's a longer process than one might think.
And yes, it's horrible trying to hold still in the middle of a contraction. When the anesthesiologist told me I had to stay completely still, I was like, "Is this guy for real?" I now know why, but in the moment I felt it impossible.
I swear I want every guy to experience at least once the period stimulator or a labour stimulator.
I wanna see whether they'll say the "you've never got hit in nuts" joke same.
Agreed or as my partner says jokingly don't trust something that can bleed for days and not die...I don't find it funny
A kick in the nuts isn’t the same, it’s more similar to having your nuts squeezed and crushed, like actual nuts, with pliers
These are literally all the comments
why? You get pleasure flom inflicting pain on others? A bad colic hurts the same as a period, and a lot of guys have had them.
HAHA I must do this as I constantly tell them that they’ll never be real men because of this monthly shredding the uterus does to itself
I’m trans and that’s what I usually experience during shark week (my period). I call it shark week for the exact reason that the cramps, hormones and mental stability are tearing each other apart like a shark tears its prey
Yeeeees! I've been waiting for mama doctor Jones to review the motherhood series!!! I'm so excited you're doing these!
I was at high school class reunion last week (I am 23), and when we were telling what we were doing one of the guys told that he was studying medicine, 2 years away from residency atm, and that he wants to be a gynaecologist. Lot's of laughter at first, mostly from the guys that were not that mature yet. the girls, especially the 7 month pregnant one next to him found it less funny. But turned out he was serious, and he actually had a pretty good story why he wanted it, better then my explanation for my current job. Loads of respect for him anyway, seemed like a difficult study, and he is one of the smartest guys I know.
What was his reason? I always wonder why a guy wants to look at female privates all day. 🤔
When my ex wife had our first kid, I was holding her leg and the doctor was right in the shooting gallery. Suddenly the space in between her situation ripped and my son's head shot out a bit. Fluids of all sorts spray out with my son's head getting the doctor in the face and giving me a front row view of all this. I instantly got tunnel vision and the part I could see in the center of my vision started to quickly zoom out. Then the doctor grabbed my arm firmly and shook me. Everything comes back to normal in a snap and I quickly look at the doctor. He is blinking hard at me. Both of us had to of had shocked expressions on out faces. He then ask me if I was ok. I slowly nodded and we never spoke of it directly again.

Love that you highlighted the baby-to-breast part because sadly, a lot of doctors don't follow that guideline. Early initiation of breastfeeding is affected.
What they don’t tell you with labor is that there are SO many fluids and stuff coming out you don’t even know (or care) if you poop. And that’s not even talking about the unimaginable pain.
When my little girl was born, it was hands down the best moment in my life. She was a very healthy 8lbs 7oz. I was afraid to hold her, I had this irrational fear that I'd drop her even though i knew I wouldn't. All 5 family members who came to the birth held her first (after tummy time with her mom), I had to pshyce myself up to grab her.

I’ll never be a mom, but I think a lot of dads are afraid they’ll drop the baby. They’re so teensy and fragile
@@shoshitaketakeyani3275 why you'll never be a mom?
It's a very normal fear, and women get it too. My two best friends had babies like a month apart and both told me that they were afraid they would accidentally drop their children, og if they would just let go. One of them got angry for a moment with her boyfriend after he had let baby have tummy time on the floor because she was sure that one of them were going to step on the baby and hurt it. Afterwards she knew it was irrational and of course apologized, but my point is, that the fear response is normal, and often comes so we will be more careful with the little humans.

I had jaundice, I was born with the cord around my neck and I wasn’t breathing because I had fluid in my lungs lol
Same, was born a blue baby with the umbilical cord choking me and almost died like that. Then a little while later got whopping cough lol
Same here. My neck was wrapped in the umbilical cord and I couldn't breathe. The nurses cut the cord off at the last moment.
I had the cord wrapped round my neck as well
More babies than you'd think have their cords wrapped around their neck
My ears were not prepared for a perfectly cut scream of Keith at 0:04 😂😂
My menstrual cramps were actually worse than my labor pains and my labor pains were extreme. It wasn't an easy ordeal. I ended up having to have an emergency C-section after being in labor for 30 something hours. Turned out that my son was holding onto the umbilical cord as if he were ringing a bell. Anyway, since giving birth, I've only had 3 extremely painful periods in the last ten years. 🤷🏻♀️ I have no idea why my menstrual pain became normal after being pregnant and having a C-section, but I'm not complaining.

9:02 Well thank you Doctor Mike. That was so wholesome I really appreciate the way you said partner as well instead of just husband and im sure plenty other noticed as well. Your a good dude.
I just watched the one where Ned simulates a 14 hour labor and honestly I don’t know how a woman can be like “lets have more” 😭😭 I am scared to even have one
Tbh, even with the pain that I DID experience, the baby was so worth all of it. 💕
I didnt watch the vídeo yet so i dont know if the pain scale is when woman are on adrenaline mode and maybe some reduce pain medicaments, but if dont then the real pain would probably be Much smaller
From the little I know, (I've only had one child myself, and he was born by C-section after a 36-hour labour) there is a form of 'Mummy Amnesia' that goes on after childbirth. You remember feeling miserable and scared at times, and thinking stuff like "oh my god, this hurrrrttts, and I just wanna go to sleeeep!" but you can't recall the exact level of pain and exhaustion that inspired those thoughts. Like, you remember you felt enough pain and exhaustion to want to cry, but if someone were to ask you to rate it out of 10, with 0 being painless and 10 being 'more pain than you can deal with and still remain conscious,' you'd be like "Well... I remember it was enough to make me cry, so I'd guess it must've been over 5, but I got through it okay so it couldn't have been a 10... I dunno, somewhere in the middle, maybe?"
The honest answer is that it's because babies are worth it in the end.
Is it miserable? Yes. But you just have to keep telling yourself that the pain will come to an end. And if you live in a place where analgesia is an option, then you won't have to feel nearly as much pain. For me at least, as bad as the pain was, the worst part of labor with my first was the abject terror that my baby might be stillborn or that I might bleed to death.
For me at least, the main determining factor in whether or not I wanted more kids wasn't, "Will I make it through another 24~ish hours of L&D?" I knew that to be a yes. Rather, it was, "Will I be able to handle another 9 months of prenatal suffering, plus months of postpartum suffering, plus those terrible newborn/infant months of sleep deprivation?"
It's like whenever anyone finds out I was in the military, they're like, "Wow! You made it through bootcamp?!" For most of us, that is the easiest and shortest part of our time in service. Trust me, the rest of it was much harder (in various ways) and didn't end after 3 months.
I agree. There is no experience like meeting and holding a human that grew and lived inside of you. The moment they look into your eyes you forget all about the pain.
All of my dad's brothers aside from one have had prostate cancer, as well as my grandfather (their father). My dad was the only one with an aggressive type that eventually took his life. I have two younger brothers and three sons, I will be bugging all of them to get early exams!

Skin to skin was the best moment I had my with my daughter at birth. That’s a memory I’ll never forget after my wife’s labor.
We women are freaking amazing, I've got 3 kids, pushed them out myself only had gas and air for the 1st and 2nd. Wasn't enough time with the 3rd lol and my god does it hurt. The ring of fire.
wow you can feel pain you are so special
I had an epidural with my first, unmedicated with my second. I didn't experience the ring of fire. I had no break between contractions for the final 60 - 90 minutes before pushing with my second baby. The pushing stage was overwhelming. It was just a blur.
@@Tilvent go away troll
@@Tilvent feel pain and be able to go through with it*
15 years ago to this very day I had my youngest, and I can confirm that women DO sometimes poop while pushing. I did with him. I look at it as God's way of saying "I got you, boo" because let me tell you, constipation after an episiotomy is NOT fun and I was happy that at least some of the pipes were cleared ahead of time. And to be honest, at that point every ounce of modesty is out the window and you couldn't care less (and neither does the medical team.)
Lol I completely agree. Honestly they were shocked at how careless I really was
Once I had my contractions (first starting around 6 cm), the epidural (with ZERO feeling) and later in the postpartum ward (nursing/bathroom tries/walking around) - I couldn’t care less if my chest or rear or any other areas were exposed. For me it was like something as small as modesty when you’re literally in such an existential life changing experience, I could NOT care any less. But my doctors and nurses were like “oh OH, are we okay to come in? Are you okay with not being covered? Do we have your permission to see x and y and z?” I was like - if you told me you needed to see my brain I’d let you. So yeah I don’t care if you see my nether regions EVEN THOUGH the whole reason I’m here is TO have a baby lol which for me was happening vaginally. I get it though, they are worried about the legal and pc side of things whereas I’m literally stripped back to the primal level of humanity and only concerned about performing natures miracle and survival.
10 years ago i ran away from my community - there is a criminal syndicate operating in Jamestown, NY and originating from Las Vegas, NV. Please help!!
I'm normally pretty big on modesty, but for some reason, when I was in labor, not as much. Probably largely because of the pain, but probably also because by the time the big day finally arrives, you've already had how many cervical checks and whatnot? That and you realize that the task at hand requires easy access to the nether regions.
"The baby shoots out?!"
A little story time: in 90's, my mom was waiting for the time to give birth come, she was in a hospital, there were no staff around (the hospital then got closed down soon cause it was poorly maintained and honestly the staff didn't care, idk why...) anyway, if it wasn't for an old janitor lady, my brother would have died hitting the floor... she caught him lol now he's healthy at 23 years old
bruh kudos to janitor lady
W janitor lady
Videos like this (the prostate/testicular exam portion) are so important & I wish we could normalize it more. The exam is fast & only needs to be done once a year, depending on your history of course, it takes seconds & it's over. My grandfather refused prostate exams until he couldn't ignore the discomfort any longer & he had very progressed cancer. He was in his 60's so quite young & he went through surgery & treatment & went into remission but didn't remain in remission so he had to repeat the process. He just got sicker & sicker as his body was broken down until his doctors told him the treatment was causing more damage than the cancer but he couldn't even live at home any longer. He passed away 15 years before his younger wife & a simple exam could have potentially prevented most of what he went through because of early detection so guys please please get your prostate exams.
My mom spend her career treating patients with prostate cancer and testicular cancer.
Her youngest ever patient was 13 years old. Boys and men need to perform self exams for testicular cancer, just like women are recommended to do for breast cancer!
Guys always think we’re making a big deal about period pains and then they go and try this and can barely handle half the pain
Women are amazing and I am so glad I am not one. I could not handle that pain.
@@OneGeekStudios gosh Ur lucky my guy
Yeah, totally no bias/inaccuracies in the process of recreating it...
Guys who are 99% estrogen are probably not very good test subjects for this
When I was a teen my pain was so bad I had blackouts, I would just drop to the floor usually hitting my head on the way down. My doctor put me on birth control to regulate them and reduce the chance of me having blackouts. Always funny how guys get creeped out about their prostate exam too, they should try a smear test! :D
Yeah, my mom’s experience having me was not pleasant cause she didn’t know what was going on with me and even the doctors didn’t know what was going on back in 1996 until I was out. From what my mom told me, the umbilical cord was wrapped around my body and neck and I was holding the cord in my hand and squeezing it while I was inside. I was an early baby and the heaviest among my older sisters. Thankfully, I lived and I appreciate my mom’s strength more than I can imagine.
Nice story
Exactly right when you said they have to make sure they don't damage the collar bone or neck. When I was being born I was stuck beneath my moms hip bone and my heartrate dropped to nothing so the doctor had to reach up inside my mom and hold my head while two nurses helped pull me out. They broke my collarbone but I was brought back to life and put in the NICU on oxygen for a couple hours while my mother hemmoraged they got her stable and I was safe, however the doctor didn't tell my mother they broke my collarbone she found out 2 months after I was born when she brought me in for nonstop crying and severe sleep deprivation. I was okay but she was pissed the doctors didn't tell her about my collarbone when the paperwork stated they consulted with the mother.
okay i'm a big try guy fan and Dr. Mike reacting to this videos are making me so happy:)))
I'm glad you mentioned that you you need to be careful about the shoulders of the baby when delivering it because it can cause physical damage.
I have brachial plexus paralysis because of a mistake they did when delivering me. At the time the hospital tried to hide it from my mum but she noticed something was wrong with me when she looked at me because I was asleep with my arm in a weird position. She grabbed my arm and it fell. She called the nurse and after a lot of persisting, they said something went wrong (although they didn't actually say what happened that caused it).
Gladly, after a lot of physical therapy (surgery was an option but the doctor said there was the risk of never being able to move my arm again) I regained movement on my arm, although it doesn't move the same way as a normal arm.
Well period pains are as bad as heart attacks now, I think birth is probably 10x worse than a heart attack. Dr. Mike is the only doctor I actually trust at this point😌
Edit: look at Dr. Mike lookin out for our vjs! I actually met a girl younger than me that had a kid and her vj tore because the baby came out too fast, she did get it fixed though
When my daughter was born, my husband quickly helped me out of my shirt so we could do baby to breast, and nothing is more terrifying than when the baby doesn't come to you. The doctors took her and tried to leave the room without saying anything to me. I went into a panic immediately. My husband said, "If she doesn't hold the baby, there's going to be a problem here." They seemed so exasperated at the very idea. I held her long enough for a picture before they took her away, again without telling me why. I later learned she was having trouble and had to be rushed to the NICU, but someone couldn't have told me that?? She ended up with jaundice, couldn't regulate her own body temperature, and her blood sugar numbers were wrong. She was in an isolette for days before she could come home.
I get doctors wanted to help her, but a little communication please!
Friend works in the NICU:
Generally, no, they don't tell you until after taking care of the baby. It's common practice to bring baby to NICU then tell mom after; because time is of the essence and it puts too much stress on the mother that it can cause other health issues.
It's easier, and generally safer, to bring the baby right away, and then come back to explain what's happening. Some mothers react poorly and insist that their baby is fine, that the NICU is unnecessary, and try to refuse to give the baby up wasting precious time. They fight against the doctors, say that the baby just needs skin contact or to be held by their mother.
Some mothers immediately start to panic while still running on the adrenaline and high of emotions that they have panic attacks, heart issues, even pass out. There's even been instances of mothers passing out because the NICU in their minds, means their baby will likely die and it's too much for them to handle in the moment.
While it's not the case for all mothers, it's the case for enough that it's become standard to not tell the Mother until after they can take care of the infant.
@@veronicaelders4823 um still not okay to decide not to give information. Have a nurse stay behind to explain and help parents through it.
My son was premature and we knew he was coming for weeks before he was actually born. We expected a few weeks in the NICU. My doctor looked me in the eye just before delivery and said that we would do delayed cord clamping and baby to breast as long as he was doing well enough. We were able to do so for a short time. It took the doctor literally 5 seconds to say those words. I think they should be included in every delivery. It was reassuring to know we were on the same page as the medical team.
I hope your little one is doing great now! 🥰 For what little it may be worth, it's super common for newborns to end up with jaundice and temperature regulation issues, but it's still scary and sad to see ANYTHING wrong with your baby, for sure! 🥺
@@violettababenko4847 why should anyone listen to you (inexperienced, uneducated) over real doctors and nurses with valuable experience?
Reality does not care about your feelings.
Dr. Mike, Just found your channel. This video is probably my favorite so far. I haven't laughed this hard in a long time. I think I'm going to watch it again.
I've given birth to 3 babies. I definitely pooped with my last one 😅, most of the times the nurses are so good about cleaning it up nice and quick so you never know. Unfortunately with my last it was a fairly traumatic birth (he was seconds away from being a C-section) since they were more worried about making sure he was good (rightfully so) they missed a few spots when cleaning up, it was on the sheets and my baby 🤢 🤣. I wiped it away from him & went on to enjoy my gorgeous newborn. A little poop is nothing to be worried about after you have given birth lol. It's not a very memorable thing, I honestly rarely remember that when remembering his birth, unless someone brings it up. The most memorable thing is always the beautiful baby at the end ❤️
Well, anecdotal evidence shows that you will experience having your baby's poop on you many times, so it's only fair. LOL!
oh wow
I'd argue that babies are not beautiful when born
why does the prostate exam seem so much less painful then say, a pap smear 😩
Because papa smears involve scraping, and that speculum needs to be closed CAREFULLY and tugged gently first to make sure you aren't caught in it. Can't even describe that pain but I never went back to that doctor.
I ain't ever going to a doctor for my Wang so you lot can enjoy your... Smears I'll take my chances with mah walnuts
It's always painful. And I hate with some of my friends says they don't feel pain at te pap smear.I feel it's something wrong with me.
@@Erika29.17 no believe me it's not just you! Dread it!
@@Erika29.17 I get a bit nervous at check-ups so it's always a little uncomfortable for me, and the pinching isn't super nice either. Maybe you've got a nervous vagina too, lol.
OMG!!! Finally He reacts to Try Guys!!! I have been obsessed with them forever, it’s awesome to see favorite channels react to other channels you’re familiar with! Keep it up
When I was born my tall but delicate mother pressed my 6 foot dads hand so hard that he couldn't work for a few days (he was a surgeon, now retired). So you mayby have to watch the dad for more than just fainting 😉
Oh, no ! I feel bad for your dad. Well, water under the bridge.
A nurse gave me her hand to hold. Poor thing. I finally saw her going down and trying to get out of my grasp. Poor thing. I bet she's never offered a hand to hold since.
My best friend's mom broke her husband's hand during delivery. He had several cracked bones.
I was with my cousin when she gave birth, that baby shot out if her like a cannon ball, the doctor fumbled and missed baby and dad caught baby before she could hit the floor. That was a wild .4 seconds.
My mom was a childbirth educator and doula when I was very young (went back to school and got her associates in nursing when I was 5-7). I can say her techniques for calming/soothing/helping mothers during childbirth also always helped me when I was in pain of any sort growing up too.
I felt extremely lucky to be living with her again and have her with me when I had a kidney stone at 23. We had no idea what was wrong at first, and when the pain kept getting worse, we first went to Urgent Care and then were referred to go to the ER instead. In total, I was in excruciating pain for about 5-6 hours with having no idea what was wrong before finally getting morphine (and subsequently a CT scan diagnosing it was a kidney stone). My mom was with me after the first 2 hours when I decided I definitely needed medical care, trying to soothe me and calm me down for almost 4 hours. I remember waiting in my room in the ER just waiting to be helped for at least 30 minutes while all I could do was cry, whimper, moan, and basically hyperventilating from being in so much pain. When asked how much pain I had been in, I said 9 (saving 10 only for probably childbirth), but with my mom holding my hand and spending about 10 minutes helping me with deeper, slower breathing, and trying to not think of JUST the pain, she was able to bring the pain level down to about a 7 or 6 before anyone at the ER gave me anything. It unfortunately happened a second time in the middle of the night a couple months later, but at least we knew what it was that time. I had to wake her up at about 2:30am to take me to the ER again but I hadn't slept any, so I tried to rest as much as I could on the ER bed while she was soothing me, and after I was given morphine again and the pain stopped, we rested together on the bed while waiting to be discharged.
I can only imagine how much she was able to help mothers giving birth, and I know if I ever chose to have a baby for some reason, I would want her by my side as my nurse/doula/support person.
How sweet that ur mom is a doula, it is good when somebody as close as family is in gyn field , not just medical, anything eg. Midwife, doula,, obgyn, etc.
You are lucky, love ur mom
Also, labour is not just belly ache, it is hip pain, legs numbing, breathlessness or total exhaustion, hands pain, pain radiating throughout body ,feeling of something being pulped down, stretched, sqyeezed and also incontinency, and pooping
It is discomfort at many kevels
Some women get breast tenderness even
Hence, it is advisable to let her move in labor and not be supine throughout labor
5:20 You should try labor pain simulator! You could compare with kidney stones pain!
My labor wasn't painful for me... gallbladder attack is much much worse.
Thought you’re my favorite channel! I have 22 videos of yours downloaded!! I’m just obsessed with you Doctor and you inspire me to become a doctor!
I love how mike just smiles when watching the first guy scream
Like yah see how much getting kicked in the nuts is “much worse” now
WAIT. 2:57. YOOOO THATS A GAME CHANGER. No one has told me this. So I just grew up with this notion that when I hit 50 like I'll be called into a doctors office and theyre gonna prostate exam me on the spot. Like a mandatory vaccine kinda thing. Idk I'm only 30 so its a way off anyways but dang that makes me happy that is now a case basis rather than just a mandatory thing
Your reactions are always my favorite 😂💜
