Hi friends, happy Thursday!
Despite what some people may say, birth is not a problem that needs solving-it's a natural journey that we just need guidance to help us get through (And of course, doctors, midwives, doulas…you get it). As I’ve gotten older, I’ve realized how scary and borderline traumatizing childbirth can be. But not only that… how downright dangerous it is! So on that note, let’s get to it: the Dark History of Childbirth.
I appreciate you for coming by, and tune in next week for more Dark History.

When my cousin was 18 weeks she went to her doctor because she was having pain on her right side. Doctor rolled his eyes at her, told her it was pain from being obese and pregnant and that she should leave because he had actual patients with actual problems to see. She took herself to the er and they told her she had appendicitis and needed to do surgery asap. I’m not surprised so many women die, doctors don’t listen to women, pregnant or not.

It's very odd their misconception I just got appendix surgery 2 weeks ago finally healed from a full recover but it was awful. I felt like I was dying in the morning and my sibling just took the pain as nothing thinking I was being over dramatic. I couldn't even stand. Get to the hospital and the check in person was extremely rude... even after 2 hours of waiting in extreme pain I just went up to the window and asked, "I'm in extreme pain, is there any way I can just know the wait time?" And she arrogantly responded YOU need to wait, just like everyone else has too. Got checked out finally after waiting 5 hours, and my symptoms were just push aside a bit and told it was a stomach bug, because I have a High pain tolerance it didn't seem that bad to them until they saw in the scan what it was. Thankfully there were some really kind doctors who took care of me overnight which I will never forget to this day. I've had a hard time I'm only 16 and left my parent home because they were extremely horrible, it's been such a struggle trying to raise myself for all this time and feeling like I was being mothered again made me feel better, Hospitals Def need to be better when it comes to people's needs, symptoms, and kindness, not everyone handles things the same

Australia here, it’s free to have your baby here. The government supplies a “baby box” it has basic baby supplies, discount vouchers etc. when you return home a midwife will visit weekly for 6 weeks to make sure your healing properly and coping at home. If your not coping there are free services to support you. There is also a payment for low income mothers of aprox $1900 to help with the cost of having a baby. Lastly if you have a hospital birth a midwife is with you in the birthing suite at all time and a dr comes and checks on you regularly. I really think America needs to do better

It seems OBGYNs are either fantastic or terrible. I took me 12 years to get an endometriosis diagnosis-“medical gaslighting/shrugging off my symptoms). Yet, another OBGYN saved my friend and niece lives’ both because he knew his stuff and listened. (I go to him now…he is reasonable, listens, and always says “in the end it’s up to you.” He lays out all the choices and points you toward research if you want yo think on something. I have heard he* works with mothers to give birth as they want-from where ti pain and positions etc. He also oversees quite a few Midwives for uncomplicated pregnancies/birth-including home births). He also does “Gentle C-Sections” if a woman should need one scheduled. He refuses to steal a woman’s arms down unless her and baby’s safety calls for it. HOWEVER, with her first child, my first niece, I’m fairly certain she had a c-section because they gave her Pitocin too soon (after she had gone into labor naturally ON her due date). This was, apparently, to “move things along.” She’s researched since then, there is some literature to say you should avoid taking it when possible (not if you need to be induced or whatever. But not right away when you get to the hospital after going in your labor naturally). They should have just let her body be in labor for a bit longer before “helping her out” …she doesn’t think it gave her body time yo prepare itself for the birth (she was so close, almost like giving birth both ways).

Bailey, I think this is probably one of the most important Dark History episodes you have ever done. It is so vital for women to know that they have a choice of how they give birth. I think women finally started speaking out about birth experiences in the last few generations, and their bad experiences may have contributed to the number of women who are chosing not to have children. Not that there is anything wrong with chosing not to have children. That is every woman's choice. I realize there are many other contributing factors, but it is important for modern women to know that they are in control of their birthing process and their bodies. I had my 1st baby 23 years ago and did not know my options or even how to take care of my thyroid disease while pregnant. I had 3 very traumatic births. I want better things for women today.

I had the most amazingly magical, primal, and empowering labor 🥹. I even caught my own baby after pushing for a few minutes while kneeling. What we are doing in childbirth isn't working, it's leaving women traumatized and even dead. 60% of women have birth trauma. Almost half have cesareans- most of which are unnecessary. Going to midwifery school soon to help make positive change.

He died shortly after birth and she didn't get to see him or say goodbye. She was told to rest and so she did. When she woke up and asked for her baby, they told her he passed away and it's okay, she will just have another baby. She knows what cemetery he was buried at but doesnt know where in the cemetery since they didn't tell her and didn't document which ones the babies were buried in. It was another time and another world. I often wonder if we was a thalidomide baby bc of the times.

When I told my ob I wanted a water birth and had specifically picked a hospital that offered that she went on to tell me SHE isn’t trained in those (okay sounds like a YOU problem) and then later mentioned I might not be able to do a water birth anyway but gave no reason as to why… that alone made me less trusting of her because now I feel like how I want my birth to go doesn’t matter. I also dislike that they have been pushing induction and c sections on us rather than letting things happen naturally. Obviously there are some legit reasons to need them but it’s starting to feel like the rule not the exception.

I gave birth in a hosptial in 2021. I had a truamatic experience, and later when reviewing my medical records learned the doctor lied about what occurred during my birth in my records. After this discovery, I decided for my second pregnancy I would give birth in a birthing center with midwives. Those women were so incredible. They cared about my birth experience so much. My second delivery was everything I could have wanted and more. I urge any pregnant woman to at least tour their local birthing center and consider it for your delivery.

Midwives are the norm here in Australia. Most of the gyno doctors are male but the midwives are all female. With my first both he and I nearly died. I came to to find 3 midwives, two female gynos, and 4 male paediatricians in the room. All of this because no one listened when at 16 weeks I said I was getting pain in my ribs on one side. I still had the pain a month post birth and my gp, who I hadn't brought the pain up to, instantly worked out I had gallstones from where I put my hand. He couldn't believe that 6 midwives, 4 (male) gynos, and 5 ultrasound techs didn't question it

I was with my daughter just a month ago, as she was giving birth. She was given so many options on positions, as well as ideas on how to sit during the labor itself. She sat on a Yoga ball for a long time, and then was able to lay on each side to help the baby move down. It was much different then when I was having her 24 years ago. They were so helpful, understanding, encouraging, and thoughtful through the entire process. This made the experience so much less stressful for her, and put the focus back on her and the baby's health and wellbeing.

I think the big reason that you still give birth on your back is because of epidurals. When you have an epidural you cant bare weight on your legs. When i was in birthing class, that the hospital provided for free, they said that being on all fours or squatting was the most comfortable. But if you get an epidural you have to remain on your back. Anyways..... LOVE YOU BAILEY!!! Always look forward to your videos

@MessageViolation 2 ай бұрын

You'd think if you couldn't stand, they'd have a special squatting station chair. In ancient times, two people would hold you up while squatting. You'd think someone would have invented a special padded chair that could freefall your legs and apply body weight elsewhere. I mean, we have massage tables and what-not. Maybe a chair that has padded armpits and straps. Maybe an inventor will come up with one and change the course of history.

I am someone who had two high risk births and would have died 100 y3ars ago. My first child was frank breech so we would have both died had it not been for a c section. My second child I labored for 14 hours and physically tried pushing for 4 hours. I was hemorrhaging and went on oxygen multiple times, and had to sign documents that said if I had to go into emergency c section I was looking at a mortality risk of around 80%. I grabbed the back of my delivery bed and squatted and got him out. I would have died if I tried to deliver at home or in ancient times. Child birth is still very high risk and dangerous, which is just another great reason that birth control and abortion should be accessible to any woman. Period

@TEDOGIRL02 2 ай бұрын

@@cannibalamoebasI’m glad you got through all that. Breech is a variation of normal tho, and midwives are trained in them. Drs aren’t, so they turn to cesarean. One of the midwives/doulas I learned from had 11 home births. Her very 1st child was a breech baby and she wasn’t about to go to a hospital for it. She said it’s her most memorable and the others after were smooth and easy. I really hope more drs learn breech delivery. Were you medicated and on your back for your other births? I’m glad you squatted that one baby out. Spinning babies helps with those advanced positions and techniques.

He was deditacted to reduce the deaths occuring surrounding giving birth. He suggested the hand disinfection to reduce the childbed fever. After they started doing the handwashing and stuff the maternal mortality rate dropped from 18% to less than 2% in one of the clinics he worked at. I wonder why they haven't thought about this earlier - that is the true mistery here. :) P.S.: Shoutout to the mothers who chose to give birth against all the odds!
