As a retired OB nurse (human), this was so touching! So glad they were able to interpret Mom’s head-holding as the sign of a headache, and symptom of preeclampsia❣️
Right? They were obviously monitoring her really well. At least with humans they can tell u if they have a headache but with animals it’s all body language.
Hearing the baby’s cry… just, wow. I cannot imagine what that team felt while there in the room helping to bring the baby into this world. It’s magical.
@@TakenTookI wonder if that's part of why she rejected the baby. No hormone rush, no skin to skin right after 😢 sad but surrogacy seems to go great with gorillas, jameela will be perfect for another mom
In Texas, do all women irrespective of their income have full access to free medical care if they had preeclampsia? I don't live in U.S. so I don't know.
@@xinavaneifyit’s an emergency situation so you could get seen no matter what but you certainly wouldn’t have the same access as someone with healthcare or money
So precious, and very rewarding to see that they were able to save both the mother gorilla and this little infant since they are endangered in the wild.
I am IN TEARS!!! This was such an amazing story! The way the Dr. held her hand during the C section… God bless the zoo for making the call, Dr. Jamie and her entire team for delivering this precious miracle and keeping mama & baby safe. God bless this beautiful mama and her tiny beautiful baby girl!!! 🩷🎀🩷🙏🏻
I liked the way he held her hand too. In my opinion, humans are more compassionate this day in time,...thank God. 150 years ago, they would've treated both mom and baby like an object, instead of a living being.
Their organs are all in the same place as on humans. The female body parts are also very similar. It makes sense that an OBGYN would be called to perform the surgery. It’s an awesome experience for a human doctor. Once-in-a-lifetime.
Except she needed the hormones to acknowledge the birth and baby, unlike us we know 🤍, even if it's ceserean birth and premature, not the same instinct or connection
So adorable. This is actually not that unusual for human medical professional to help zoo animals... I remember when that little baby hippo needed IVs put in and they called a pediatrician.
When our cat had to go to eye specialist, we learned the veterinarians in the group volunteered their services to zoos in the area. Animals get cataracts too, among other eye ailments.
I’m a Neonatal ICU RN & Lactation Consultant who assisted with hundreds of births in the OR. I adored being a part of the moment a family first met their baby. This is wonderful and amazing! I assisted in my nephews who were premature twins birth and cared for them, my godchildren, my friends and just about everyone I went to schools,with growing up. In my 20s & 30s, it almost weekly ended up in deliveries of old friends and schoolmates. It was just really lovely to be there in their happy moments. I can’t imagine how incredible this was for this team!
i had pre-eclampsia, and had a c-section back in december. my little girl is sleeping next to me right now. so happy this amazing team helped another mommy in need. now she and her baby can start their wonderful life together
Having worked in L&D for years this is one of the most precious stories I've ever seen! ❤️ Hats off to the doctors and medical staff for this successful gorilla c- section delivery! 💕 🦍
your description is too accurate… babies really do look like aliens immediately after birth! misshapen heads, funky complexions, that fuzzy lanugo. 😂😂 i said the same thing when my daughter was born.
@@frienjie7148 When my daughter was born my mom asked my father-in-law if he thought she was cute. In his broken English he said, "Not really. She look like potato." Lol
@@kimberlysevastyanenko3798 russian accent?? that’s hilarious! 😂😂 like, they didn’t warn us new moms that there’s a delay before the cuteness sets in. we love them the same though 🤷🏽
Heart warming, amazing and fascinating. I loved when the newborn cried and sounded just like a human. And when the Dr held the mama's hand. They absolutely chose the right Dr's for this very special delivery. ❤
I’m Canadian, but it’s amazing and absolutely heartwarming stories, just like this one, that makes me so proud that USA are my neighbors to the south. What a precious wee baby girl you helped into this world, not forgetting to mention more-than-likely, saving Mama’s life as well. What an amazing event you can be proud of Texas. Welcome to the world wee one. Wishing you a long healthy and content life ahead. 💕
Thank you to the doctors and team who brought this precious little gorilla in to the world and for taking care of mum 🥰 I really admire you all for your kindness and professionalism and love towards these animals ❤
It’s amazing how much they have in common with humans . I am fascinated with these beautiful animals. Thank you to the doctors who did such an amazing job to save the baby gorilla.
Aw that brought tears to my eyes, how beautiful. Just a round of applause to everyone involved, from those who knew something was wrong to everyone who supported the team and gorillas along the way, in every way.
This is the greatest news story. Thank you for taking excellent care of this beautiful mom and baby gorilla. God bless you and your team. God bless this mom and gorilla baby.
That's amazing. Great zoo keepers to realize she may be having headaches due to pre eclampsia. That's an amazing experience and I'm so happy everyone is well. Cutest little fur baby. ❤😊 Recover well Mama!!!
What a beautiful thing they’ve done. Jimilla is so beautiful. I agree 0:23 this is precious. Love her already. Great work to Al involved in saving these two beautiful gorillas lives.
I love the care they gave her. The way they hold her and took pics you can see how much love there was. Looks just like when we deliver our own. Helping our cousins 😯
Thank-you to everyone involved in saving the Mama gorilla and babies life via an amazing C-section. Beautiful, touching very magical story of interspecies caring and loving each other the best of humanity is on full display in this story!
I wonder what she will do to her incision, how they keep her from touching it and potentially ripping it. She doesn’t know what surgery is. A follow up explaining this would be appreciated!
@@mamabear1324 generally it's a thing with most animals that if mom and baby don't bond right away, they won't, and usually by the time they're officially separated efforts to make it happen have all fallen through sadly. They'll still be in the same troop at least til Jameela grows up, so once she's a little older they'll probably bond as troop-mates, but the bio mom gorilla probably won't see her as a daughter. Sucks but it might be better in the long-term this way, eclampsia is pretty serious and so is c-section recovery and it may be for the best she isn't worrying about getting better /and/ keeping baby alive.
Wow, I had no idea animals can suffer pre-eclampsia. I went through that while pregnant with twins, and the headache was the worst ever - just beyond horrific. I'm so glad this wonderful doctor was able to help her!!!
I didn’t realize that gorillas could also get pre-eclampsia. Glad they were quick to notice, and that Dr. Jamie/other doctors responded.
Gorillas are close to humans in a lot of ways. In fact they share about 98 percent of our DNA.
Well sure they do their closely related to humans
@@WildlifeWarrior-cr1kk while you’re busy being snarky, take a moment or two to discover the differences between “their” and _*they’re._ 🤦🏽
We share 99% DNA

Kudos to Zoo staffers that noticed symptoms early and saved their lives.
Why did I think the gorilla would be awake and see them coaching it through lol 😂
Underrated comment! Thanks for making me laugh! 😊😊😊
I'm guessing they also had to keep the mom sedated for an extended period of time postop just so she wouldn't tear out her stitches.
Legs in the stirrups 😂😂😂

How is the mother doing.... need to cover this also
She's fine
you spoke to her mike?@@mikemike5666
Exactly
Recovery from surgery
She doesn’t seem to take to baby so I’d say that she’s not doing well mentally. Maybe she’s okay physically though?
So precious, and very rewarding to see that they were able to save both the mother gorilla and this little infant since they are endangered in the wild.
THIS is how we should be helping and treating all animals. They need us to care for them.
They can care for themselves. What they need is humans leaving them the f alone
I didn't think a gorilla could get pre- eclampsia. Well done, that medical team. What an amazing, mind blowing experience.💗
That baby gorilla is adorable.
