When I was little, my mother used to say about my birth, “You were in, you were out , it was over. No big deal” The thing she complained about was how she was eating the best hot dog when she went into labor and wasn’t able to finish it! It’s literally been more than 30 years and on my bday she STILL complains about how she didn’t get to finish her amazing hot dog! 🤣🤣🤣 Man, I love my mama!! 😍😍😍
@@Saspuer26 You don't understand. A hot dog so great cannot be recreated. It wasn't just the dog, it was the essence of the experience, the smell of the air that day. One cannot simply reorder a memory.
Funny. My doctor had NO problem telling me I had IBS when I DIDN'T. All she did, was use her hands and feel my abdomen. Told me IBS, gave me a pamphlet, and told me to take fiber supplements. I saw a new doctor a few months later, turns out I had gallstones from hell. So yeah I don't have a gallbladder anymore.
same story here, my mom even took video of the pain spasms after eating and she still wasn't convinced. Ended up waiting for her to go out of town so we could get the surgery without her blocking it, idk what was up with that doc
IBS in my experience is used sometimes when the doctor has no idea of what’s wrong. I spent years receiving treatments for IBS, none of which did anything at all, when in reality I had anxiety issues that were causing all those symptoms. After 2 weeks of going to a psychiatrist after realizing I had anxiety, I was almost back to normal for the first time in 2 years and a half.
Doctor Mike, just wanna let you know your channel helped save a life in Philadelphia. I saved a family members life bc of chest compressions. I even did the sternum knuckles rub and everything. “Chest compressions, chest compressions, chest compressions “ 🤟🏽(I am cpr certified).
I’ve assisted in C-sections in the operating theatre and with natural birth on the OBGYN ward - although it's chaotic, it’s just such a lovely moment when we put the baby on the mother’s chest ❤
@@baguette_628 I'm a doctor in the UK, and NHS (national health service) care is free for all UK citizens, so thankfully this would never be the case here. Unfortunately I don't know about other places, but I think it'd be awful if they really did that!
as someone with IBS it’s nice hearing someone actually talk about it because no one really does. It took my doctor YEARS to diagnose me :/ Constantly missing school because of stomach issues, my parents even thought I was faking it to skip school. Bet they felt bad for accusing me of that after I was diagnosed. I’ve had medication for years now and it really helps. :)
I have IBS-M. Mine was not disgnosed for years as well. When it came to getting diagnosed, it was by an ambulance EMT. He also mentioned that if I quit eating food items that have corn, I would be a lot better off. From that moment on, I stopped eating anything that contains even the slightest amount of corn. I even stay away from high fructose corn syrup as best as I can. Ever since, I have not a single flare up or had to urgently use the restroom.
Literally same!!! I am struggling to get officially diagnosed and I honestly thought I was being over dramatic, or not realistic with how I felt and the entire situation. I also had no clue that there could be possible solutions to this issue. I just thought I will have to live with gut wrenching pain forever since I have been dealing with it since I was 6! This video was an extreme eye opener.
JESUS KNOCKS ON YOUR HEART AND LONGS FOR YOU TO ANSWER! HE DOESN'T WANT TO SEE ANYONE PERISH INTO HELL. GOD LOVES YOU SO HE GIVES YOU FREE WILL AND A CHOICE TO ACCEPT HIM OR REJECT HIM.

IN HELL YOU WILL BE ALONE, YOU WILL BE HOPELESS, YOU WILL BE IN DESPAIR & AGONY FOREVER! GOD'S STANDARD FOR HEAVEN IS PERFECTION AND ONLY JESUS (THE SON OF GOD, GOD IN THE FLESH) LIVED THAT PERFECT LIFE AND LAID DOWN HIS LIFE AS AN OFFERING FOR ALL PEOPLE'S SINS! YOU CAN CHOOSE TO REJECT JESUS' GIFT & PAY FOR YOUR OWN SIN WITH DEATH (HELL) BUT THAT SEEMS PRETTY FOOLISH! GOD SEES & HEARS EVERYTHING YOU HAVE SAID & DONE. YOU WONT WIN AN ARGUMENT ON JUDGEMENT DAY & YOU CANT DEFEND ANY OF YOUR SINS. WE'RE ALL GUILTY WITHOUT ACCEPTING JESUS' SACRIFICE FOR OUR SINS!

JESUS CHRIST ALONE DIED FOR YOUR SINS & WAS RESURRECTED FROM THE GRAVE! HE IS ALIVE & COMING BACK SOON WITH JUDGEMENT! PREPARE YOURSELVES! IT'S NOT ABOUT RELIGION, TITHING, CHURCH... IT STARTS WITH ASKING HIM TO FORGIVE YOUR SINS & INVITING HIM INTO YOUR HEART/LIFE, SURRENDER ALL TO HIM! IT'S ABOUT A RELATIONSHIP WITH YOUR CREATOR, DONT WAIT TO CRY OUT! NO ONE IS PROMISED TOMORROW! HE LONGS FOR YOU TO INVITE HIM IN, HE LOVES YOU MORE THAN ANY PERSON EVER COULD, HE CREATED YOU! Jesus answered, “I am the way and the truth and the life.

This is true. I've had to throw out pants before due to it. Ugh.... Normal poops!? You have got to be kidding me. No, just no. NOTHING is normal with the the smell or the consistency when I have a flare up.
I can actually say the day my son was born was the best day of my life. I had a planned classical C-section. Halloween 2008. I felt no pain. Let students watch, and I definitely recommend that. They need to learn somehow, and they treat you like a queen. Now, once the pain meds wore off and I went home...that was the hard part.
I also had a Halloween c section baby BUT regular epidurals don't work on me so I felt everything, went into shock, threw up and almost choked to death.
I also had a Halloween C-section. It was the absolute worst. I've had 3 kids, first with an epidural, 2nd completely unmedicated, and 3rd with a C-section. C-section was *by far* the worst.
I have IBS, and it’s been really hard dealing with it. Thanks, Dr. Mike, for talking about the difficulties of it because I’ve had so many doctors brush off my concerns and issues, friends and family make fun of me, and I’ve missed a lot of things because of the pain I’m in. It’s nice to hear a doctor who truly cares about his patients even through these types of videos.
I showed the video marked @ 2:05 to my cousin who never covers his mouth when he sneezes. The force that expels when sneezing makes those disgusting germs travel farther than you think. I noticed how he now covers his mouth all the time. Thanks Dr. Mike
My mom told the story of how she brought a copy of "To Kill a Mockingbird" to read as she recuperated from giving birth to me (back when a birth meant a hospital stay of several days). After the birth, back in her room, she tried reading it. She said she could understand the words, but couldn't seem to string them together to make coherent thoughts. Fast forward about 15 - 16 years, and I had to read TKAM for school. Mom would normally read whatever books I had to read for English class anyway (it saved her a trip to the library), so she figured, "If my teenager is expected to understand this, I CERTAINLY should be able to as well. Lemme give it another try." About a chapter in, she remarked, "Why couldn't I understand THIS? They must have given me some *powerful* drugs..."
@@StonedtotheBones13 On the one hand, I get it that hospitals are a great place if you want to catch something. They want you out asap for your own good. But on the other hand, I think the drive to discharge can be taken too far. I forget which British Royal it was, but I remember seeing the new royal mom -- not wheeled out in a wheelchair in a fancy peignoir or robe, but in a suit/dress and nylons and heels with perfect hair and makeup -- leaving the hospital on her own two feet, carrying an _hours-old_ newborn. (I couldn't help thinking that they were doing her hair and makeup while she was delivering the afterbirth. The timeline kinda required it.) I'm sure she got *all* the meds she needed, but I thought that was above and beyond the call of duty, even for British royalty. The poor woman just pushed a 7-10 pound royal football out of her body; give her a chance to heal! She wasn't a Dothraki, fer cryin' out loud!
True story: I bled out during the birth of my second child. I’ve got all kinds of medical professionals trying to, you know, save my life, and all I really remember is the rage I felt when they wouldn’t give me my baby.
@@ryancornwell8563 I bet you feel super good mocking the language someone used to describe a life-threatening and extremely traumatic medical emergency. 👍👍 Well done.
@@ryancornwell8563 yes so funny someone almost dieing in childbirth. Hilarious. Don't pro create since you wouldn't care if the mother of your kids would die. While you cranking "jokes".
@@ryancornwell8563 I’m going to assume you are still quite young. My child is nearly an adult, and I’ve had time to process the trauma (and it was highly traumatic). Your joke hit me with the same force of an irritating mosquito. However, if my experience had been within the last year or two, your joke would have felt like a tremendous kick in the gut. There’s enough pain in this world without adding to others’. Just some food for thought. I should have led off with this comment, rather than the snarky one above. My apologies for being disrespectful.
My husband's sneezes are sudden and loud. The room will be fairly quiet, then out of nowhere, without _any_ warning, *"ACHOOOO!"* Scares the living daylights out of me! 😄
MY dad has these what I call chain sneezes, I counted up to 10 once in 2001, I know he was tired of it by then... He passed it on to me but I only chain sneeze like 3 or 4 at a time...
My mom has always told me the story of how I was born, this was what I was told when I was younger: “You were adorable, nothing was wrong at all” This is the version I now know: “You broke you collar bone during delivery”
1:08 HA my husband was straight up helping the nurse through the whole thing. Literally just him and one nurse throughout the majority of the process. I later asked him what it was like and he just said, "Meh, I've seen much worse."
Shout out to all those who gave or will give birth. I could never have biological children because of my fear of childbirth(and a genetic condition).You're all amazing for going through the journey and I have massive respect for you.💕
Fear of childbirth to the point it stops you from being able to carry a baby (if that's something you truly want) is an actual phobia you can get mental health treatment for. Of course, idk how much it impacts your life or if having a biological child is important enough to you that it's something you'd want to work towards because obviously you don't have to want a bio baby to be happy and have a family. But yeah just depending on your feelings about it and if you'd wanna put in the work in therapy, you could find help to work through those fears. Or you could just say, nah it's not for me, which is also perfectly valid
You should probably take it into account that every single woman in your lineage for the past 300 000 years have gone through it at least once, meaning you'd be the first and the last one to chicken out of it.
@@mikitz oh also we all come from a population of just a few thousand people at it's lowest so it's almost impossible for people too not be related at all
My mom has IBS, the diarrhea-predominant variant. Before she was diagnosed when I was younger we went shopping at Marshall’s after lunch and her stomach took a turn for the worse. She spent like 30 minutes in the bathroom. Came out and was like “we need to leave we need to leave NOW” and she hurried me out of the store. That woman had explosive diarrhea in a Marshall’s and missed the toilet. Completely. It got on the handle, the wall, the tank of the toilet. She cleaned it up as best as she could but 😭😭😂😂
being on the other side of working somewhere and having to clean up an explosive diarrhea mess... I can't even laugh at this. Literally quit my job soon after ._.
Mixing these funny scenes with actual teaching is genius. One thing I notice is that you have the right balance, more comedy than teaching. It's working.
I got diagnosed with IBS (diarrhea) when I was 15, I am now 27. I could never tell anyone what I had because the name almost sounds comical so back then I felt embarrassed when I had doctor's notes that allowed me to take tests/ quizzes in the hall because not only is it a physical ailment, when you start to become anxious/ nervous your mind kicks up your gut and bowel which would typically happen whenever the room I was in was silent/ in close quarters with other people (that was my trigger). I was really depressed because of it and restricted my diet to prevent "flare-ups" and triggers at school.
I never thought about me being nervous flaring my IBS, but wow is that true! I always know when I'm actually nervous/anxious about something because I immediately feel like I have to poop!
As a 25 year old, you hit it right on the head with the social media bit. People can make a place or event that is so serious into something so trivial and it makes me sick.
The only time that’s acceptable is when you are personally affected by the event and you make it clear that your use of trivialization or jokes applies to you and only you. Sh*t like Americans joking about World War III when they have zero connection to everything that’s happening in Ukraine? That’s unacceptable. [edit: fixed an incorrect autocorrect]
My exhusband who was a corpsman in the navy knew everyone in the delivery room. As I started the labor process, he joked and said, “I hope you aren’t going to poop in front of my friends and colleagues.” I smile, but I made the labor process so much worse because I tried pushing while I was squeezing in my poop. I kept accidentally sucking in the baby while I was trying to hold in my poo. It was horrible, and lasted much longer than it needed to be.
I'm sorry to say this but what a terrible guy. You were going through the most painful experience of your life and he had the audacity to think about himseld.
I had a very difficult labor. I needed the pitocin to make me dilate. Then, about 3am, they told me his heart rate kept dropping too low and they may have to do an emergency c-section, so I should call my family (this was in 2011, I feel like that's important now). After they said that, his heart rate stopped dropping. It took 25 1/2 hours total to give birth, I was pushing for an hour and 58 minutes once I was 10 CM. The labor was so stressful, he "pooped" inside me. I didn't get to hold him until he was about a half hour old because he has swallowed the meconium.
My 1st born was something similar. I'll never understand people who think C-sections are easier than vaginal birth. Both are hard, but I felt the whole experience and recovery of C-section was much more difficult for me.
Did he have a NICU stay? My birth was similiar, couldnt dilate 3 1/2 days later we had to do a c section, i didnt get to see him until the next morning
@@jasperwagner7270 thankfully, he did not. The nicu nurses were in the room and they suctioned his lungs. I got to hold him and my family got to see him for about an hour and they took him to the nicu just for a physical exam. He was gone about a half hour - hour, but it felt like forever.
@@jasperwagner7270 they also had to do a blood test right away because I'm O negative and if he was also O negative there was a chance he could be born with some type of liver disease.
@@angeliasalah4271 That makes sense! The nurses/doctors where I delivered had decided they did not like me and were not really present for the 4 days i was in there in labor. I suspect had they been present and monitoring that things would have gone WAY different. I hate that this happens to others but i am glad im not alone
My husband watched the whole birth of our children and was amazed each time ❤️ he also cut the cord. Each time he almost cried when the head showed up because it was such a special moment for him to see his babies entering the world. I'm not ready for that 😂 my mom asked for a mirror to see it. I'm giving birth again in a month and NOPE no mirror for me
Funny story…when my son was born (2nd child) I pushed twice and on the 2nd push he literally just shot out like a rocket and the delivery doctor caught him mid air. The look of pure shock on her face will stay with me my entire life. 🤣 She said that in the 15+ years she’s been delivering babies she’s never had to catch one midair like that. 😂
I like how it seems Mike is touching/thinking when he was watching and the mother is talking to the kid, the way he saw that makes me think that he is thinking of, is pretty hard to lose someone you love, at least to me I remember my grandma many times when I watch this kind of series/situations and it just pop up to my brain.. great video Mike! Hope you and everyone who reads this have a great Sunday
As someone who is a member of gen z, I just find it funny that people think we actually talk just like that. I know it’s a joke here but some people actually think that’s how we use slang terms. To them it’s just slang terms and nothing else 😂
7:50 My mom was having numbness and pain in her legs and got it scanned. The lady called back with her results and said, “Congratulations, nothing came up on the scans, you’re fine!” but my mom was like I can’t WALK. 🤦♀️ Now she’s in a wheelchair full-time with transverse myelitis caused by radiation therapy for her cancer.
Dang. The doctors took really long to diagnoze my mom's cancer, later lyme desease and after that (especially) believing she has constant chronic pain. She's very talkative so I think they probably just assume she's there for attention/ is exaggerating and don't take her complaints too seriously, until it's almost too late. They just run one or two tests and say she's fine or diagnoze something else, untill she borderline forces somebody to do more tests.
🤔🤔🤔 the docs here do all kinds of tests... even unnecessary ones 🤷🏼♀️ one time I went in bc I was feeling gross and wasn’t getting better- one of the major symptoms I had was major sore throat; doc said they would start with a strep test- I told them it wasn’t necessary bc I had had strep about 20 times before (literally, not figuratively) and I knew it wasn’t that... they still made me do it and no surprise it was negative (just like I had told them it would be) 🙄 then we did a bunch of other tests 🤷🏼♀️
Still crazy to me how we dont have any way to deal with kidney stones and pregnancies but we can literally split the atoms of a molecule and build giant space stations.
Well I’m regards to pregnancy we have surgeries that skip the usual process, I believe they cut through the stomach. The thing is most people just choose to have a normal pregnancy to keep it natural when in reality the surgery is faster, less painful, and safer. ( not an expert might be wrong on a few things )
@@samo1198 c-sections are actually a risk to the mother and child more than natural birth is. It’s also as equally painful because they can’t put you to sleep. You do get numbed in that area and can barely feel the surgery but they spinal tap you and temporarily paralyze the area. My mother had 3 c-sections. And she only has 3 kids.
I love having the extra commentary about some of the issues with these kinds of sketches. They can be so funny but so quick to spread misinformation. Good looking out, Doc!
after watching these videos for so long I've realized Dr. Mike has given me too much hope in doctors, till I went and they did exactly what he says they shouldn't do.. "Your scans look good you can go home"
If you know that something is wrong, get a second opinion. This situation happens far too often. I like to read reviews of doctors in my network to see if the doctor listened to their patients and took them seriously. If they do, that typically would be in the review. My husband was born with one kidney. He gets UTIs and kidney infections because of it. He went to a nephrologist (doctor who should know everything about kidneys) and the doctor asked him when he'd had surgery to remove his kidney, as there is a scar where he'd had his kidney reimplanted (basically, surgeons take it out, do what they need to do, and then put the kidney back in). The doctor couldn't understand that he'd been born with only one kidney and had had surgery on it. This guy was old and set in his ways. My husband had to walk out of the appointment because the guy didn't believe him. So, not all doctors are good doctors. My husband got a second opinion.
@@stifledbabsie I appreciate the comment, I can only speak for myself but hopefully others will agree that at least in the US there's only so many times you can go "get another opinion" when each time you go you get charged a decent chuck of change. Now if all I had to do was get a second opinion you may say thats worth the loss but what about a 3rd or 4th since the rate at which doctors do this isn't 1 to 100
I actually learned there’s treatment for my IBS! I’ve been stressing about going to the doctors for AGES because I was told nothing can be done, but my symptoms have become much worse! THANK YOU DR. MIKE! ❤️🙏🏻
10:25 reminds me of that video where the kid made a video while his grandpa was close to dying in his hospital bed in the background. The song was that 'never give up'.
Ok, hearing that many dads get light headed and dizzy during the birth makes me feel a lot better. Because I know I got super dizzy and light headed during my daughter’s birth and felt bad that I couldn’t be standing next to my wife when she was pushing. So knowing it’s somewhat common is kind of relieving to hear!
Not just somewhat common, it's incredibly common. Nurses are trained to make sure birthing partners aren't fainting risks during labor. My nurse kept checking in with my husband throughout the birth of our daughter, almost as much as she checked in with me.
My mom always sighs when she knows the father will be in the delivery room, and hopes the nurse "handles" the dad well. Usually puts a bonus chocolate bar into her pocket as well, those things can get hella long for the first timers especially.
@@ann-mariemeurs952 For some it might be the blood/gore of the situation. For others, its the fact that their wife is clearly in so much pain and their body is going into fight or flight , but they obviously can't do either, which overwhelms them.
I actually laughed my second child out. The first one was a dry delivery that lasted about 28 hours... they are 55 and 50 now, so things have probably changed a lot since then. I was so happy #2 was a fast one! Now, my mom had problems when I was born...she was 18 and I was the 2nd child. She got to the lovely Catholic hospital at 7 a.m. , was told she had hours to go, I was born 7:10 a.m., breech, with no doctor present. My mom looked about 12 back then!
I went to an ER once with (recovering) upper respiratory. I wanted to make sure it wasn't getting worse. The doctor looked at my throat and asked what I was doing to treat it. I listed the OTC medications and that I was drinking coffee and water. The doctor said: ok, keep doing that, your getting better. I got a bill for five hundred dollars ($250 for doctor).
You deserved that. You had no business in the ER with a non-emergency. I can’t even imagine bothering my GP when I’m already recovering, but taking that nonsense to ER is very socially irresponsible.
You go to the ER if it's serious enough to threaten your life, and they will discharge you when they feel like you're going to live. Their diagnostic abilities are limited, that isn't what they're for. This is just one personal example, but they missed my appendicitis when my parents took me to the ER. They gave me three liters of saline and sent me on my way. Urgent care, which typically has much more restrictive hours, is a lot better for getting diagnosed and treated for something stronger than you could schedule for a PCP/family medicine doctor to address.
When my wife went into labor I watched the whole thing from the doctor's side I was insanely curious and it was the greatest moment of my life seeing my daughter take her first brearh
@@mariadolores4685 look, I love Dr. Mike but I think a psychiatrist might be better suited for that. Maybe Dr. Mike could review ADHD memes 🤷🏽♀️ those are hilarious! But idk about myths... Just my opinion
Love this! I love SNL skits, and the medical ones are the best. I only take NyQuil if I can't sleep. I think it's the Benadryl in it that always makes me feel like there's a soft, warm blanket over my brain so I can sleep. It doesn't do much for my cold symptoms, though. Also, Dr. Mike, have you ever considered doing a reaction video to the medical scenes in New Amsterdam? That's one of my favorite shows to binge watch, and I always think of you when I watch because the doctors are so caring about their patients and medical practices.
when i asked my mom about my birth she actually taught me a lot. i have an older sister (9 years older than me) but her pregnancies were actually pretty hard. she had to get a c section for both and the delivery wasn’t easy either, she had to be connected to an IV the whole time and a lot of other stuff happened. i am so proud of her and i admire her so much because of that. i on the other hand, have no intentions of having children, and pregnancy/delivery is such a scary concept for me.
Same with my mom. My sister was almost a two day labor with the cord wrapped around her neck. For me she was in distress for like twelve hours before the doctors finally did a C section. Placenta had ripped away from me and I had to be resuscitated. Brother was a C section because he was a fat baby and they tend to do C sections if the mother has had them before.
IBS is pain. Nothing quite like walking home, then being 100 meters from your front door... Bam. The Pressure kicks in and you automatically run on tip toes as you try to sprint home as you only have 30 seconds until you explode entirely.
My mom tried to sell me on the whole “birth is magical” story in an effort to convince me to have kids by telling me that “it’s nothing like how it’s depicted on TV.” My mom had two scheduled c-sections. She never even went into labor. She literally has no clue.
Absolutely. But my mom’s were very easy-peasy. So when I didn’t buy her “it’s not as traumatic as it looks on TV” she told me I could just get knocked out and cut open like her, which was still a big “no thanks.”
Luckily easy for me, but you have to be relaxed, and, luck. And preferably dont wait till youre old, collagen and healing quickly take a dive. It's the days after that are tough IMO
About the flu stuff; thank you doctor Mike for pointing that out. I had a cold and had been coughing for 3 weeks straight. Doc wouldnt help me, so i bought a random cough syrup. I got the worst allergic reaction in my life. My mouth, eyes, lips were swollen... my whole body was covered in red and spots and omg... i looked horrible. Next time i get a cough.... i suck it up.
I'm honest with my kids about their births, complications and all, but I always tell them it was worth it (which is very true). I want them to know what to expect realistically if they ever choose to have children of their own.
It's good you do that. My mom was always honest with us about her experiences with L&D, and I very much appreciated it when it came time for me to become a momma.
My Mom was so honest it was pretty much like putting birth control in my water... Though I never could understand why so many teenagers around me were popping out kids like they were taking cookies out the oven...
I came out yellow ... not rh factor but it was that my mom's blood decided to be aggressive. And my blood was dying so, I was dying but then I was transferred to another hospital, and we actually went on a small jet to get there. Once we were there my dad donated blood to me which ultimately saved my life. I forgot what my mom said about what the condition was called.
My mom was honest too, I'm very thankful for it. Though she still made it funny. She was very into natural medicine and had a GP that reflected that. Her labor for me (her first child) lasted 36 hours, she refused to take an epidural and said she regretted it. Then when my little sister came out, it only took 4 hours and by the time the doctor got there she was crowning already and couldn't have one. She thinks it's pretty funny in hindsight, though I imagine not so much then.
My mom was VERY honest because I was her first birth child and I left her in painful labor for 2 weeks 😃 and I reached 10 centimeters during a shift change so I was greeted to the world by the doctors keys flying across the room and her catching my head a moment before disaster
10:30 One of the most harrowing experiences of my life was witnessing 9/11 when I was five years old, and visiting the memorial in Manhattan gives me a sense of gravity that I don't feel anywhere else. One time I was there, I was sitting down on a bench with my girlfriend as both of us collected our thoughts and feelings, and we watched two teenage girls laughing and taking a selfie of themselves by the North Pool. It made both of us feel sick. I felt the same sickness watching that clip of selfies at Auschwitz. There are limits.
That video is in fact in Berlin, Germany. It's one of the most beautiful pieces of art I ever experienced. From the street level, all the blocks look the same height, but when you enter the space you see the ground has different levels and many blocks have different sizes. Awesome!
Thank you for covering IBS! I have it (along with GI other issues) and I have internalized a lot of issues with it, like it keeps me from wanting to date, go out, and it helps me be more picky. Luckily there are a lot of support groups that can really help, but there is still such a huge social stigma around it. We need to make people realize it isn't gross/unsanitary nor is it just a joke (I kid you not, I told someone who was making a bunch of jokes how rude it was and they replied they thought it was made up!) Every little bit helps :)
IBS and Fibromyalgia (which I have both) are so overlooked and misunderstood and they definitely make a huge impact on my life. I don’t go anywhere without knowing where a bathroom is and I’m always worried about needing a bathroom when I’m out. I’ve had to use the most disgusting bathrooms/port-a-johns because I didn’t have a choice. The stories are endless and while I def steer clear of some foods, it often doesn’t make any difference. One day something bothers me and the next it doesn’t. I do take medicine that helps slow my gut some but every day is different- I never know if I’ll be in the bathroom once or many times. It’s exhausting.
Took over a year, a colonoscopy, endoscopy, and several ER visits before mine was diagnosed. It's especially reassuring not to hear a Doctor trying to brush it off as stomach gas or something...
I have UC from almost 5 years It's Form or part of IBS or IBD I believe It took the doctors almost 1 year to Diagnose , And it was Diagnosed after colonoscopy . Even If I am not having flare ups I'm always feel uncomfortable going outside with family and friends , where ever I go I always try to find a bathroom . I guess it's my habit now 😂 so I mostly avoid going outside .
I just wanted to say I've been binge watching your videos recently and a couple nights ago I was watching Hunger Games: Catching Fire, and at the scene when Peeta's heart stops after getting electrocuted I started shouting 'CHEST COMPRESSIONS CHEST COMPRESSIONS CHEST COMPRESSIONS' and judging the CC delivery 😂 Thanks Dr Mike
I had IBS. A mix of both kinds. I don’t know why, but it went away when I got my mental health and anxiety under control. Have you seen it just go away like that, Dr. Mike? That and fibromyalgia completely went into remission. I work and am happy and healthy now. Amazing!
I came out yellow because of... not rh factor but it was that my mom's blood decided to be aggressive. And my blood was dying so, I was dying but then I was transferred to another hospital, and we actually went on a small jet to get there. Once we were there my dad donated blood to me which ultimately saved my life. I forgot about what my mom said what the condition I had was called. But I know it wasn't rh factor.
Me vibing watching this while you talk about the nyquil acetaminophen use. My liver just started failing thanks to acetaminophen overuse. It is the worst pain I've ever had 🥺 and I'm 23. Be careful guys. Be very very careful
I used to drink and take some nyquil after and advil in the am. It destroyed my liver by the time i got a blood test it was too late. For doc mike my AHC is 52 🥺
My mom had 5 kids, she said some births were easier than others but I was by far the most challenging considering she had to be put on oxygen, and said she nearly passed out.
My mom has told me and my twin many times that we were the hardest birth for her. She did unmedicated homebirths for the other 3, but being that we're twins, and we were badly positioned, C-section was the only option. She said that her recovery from vaginal deliveries were a piece of cake compared to the terrible, weeks-long recovery she had with the C-section.
My mom told me that when I was born, I don't cry when I came out. I am like chill sleeping. And then, the nurse slap my butt two time to check whether I am dead or alive
Gen Z here: I SWEAR we don't actually talk like this. The slang comes up every now and then, but definitely not during an important conversation like that 😅
My brother has severe intestinal issues. After all the tests, including a camera pill, they finally gave him a special antibiotic/probiotic. Antibiotic to clear away any bacteria and then probiotic to repopulate the gut with proper bacteria. It worked, after over a year of testing.
My doctor thought I was crazy when I was complaining of gut pain and suggested a psychologist. He later diagnosed me with IBS arbitrarily I demanded to get a colonoscopy and the surgeon diagnosed me with crohns. I lost 110 lbs in 5 months. My doc tested me for HIV every one of those months. I don’t like going to family docs anymore
I didn’t know that about IBS. I just assumed it was a diagnosable thing. I’m an RMT and clients will put that in their health history. Now that I know this, I feel like I should ask more questions, especially about what their doctor said. Thanks!
i watched my sister in-laws labor live in a video chat. she was laughing and having a good time. she would push then crack jokes. she had such a smoothe labor and it was all natural. i’m 41 and never had a baby. but i’ve dreamed of it. wish i could say i did. i’m everyone’s mom. such a blessing as well.
The fact that my mom could stay lucid while staring at her bowels in a bowl during my C-section is still unbelievable to me. Never underestimate a nurse let alone a mother who is also a nurse.
Yes, the mother is usually awake (but still anesthetized)- they need her awake to make sure nothing serious is happening ... BUT there’s no way she would see what’s going on unless it happened in a poor foreign country- they put up a disposable shield at about the mother’s neck and the partner stands behind the shield as well (to prevent contamination) 🤷🏼♀️
@@candicecart9786 I was born in the Philippines so the latter is probably true. Hell, there was only a paper curtain between me and the waiting room during a "certain" procedure
If her bowels were in a bowl, she had much bigger problems to worry about. Aside from what some movies show, organs aren’t removed during a LSCS and put into a bowl. The Dr will avoid touching the bowel as much as possible to avoid causing tears or adhesions.
My Mom said the exact opposite. She said the birth of my older brother was easier (she was 26 at the time) but giving birth to me was painful AF (age 34). Don’t understand how that happened lmao
My mom's labor was induced which meant she had hard contractions the entire time. It took 19 hours for her to get to 10 cm. Then they made her push for two hours before doing an ultrasound and discovering that my leg was up by my head and they needed to do a C-section. When I was out, my leg was staying up in the air. The nurse told my mom she broke my hip and she started to cry. The doctor TORE THE NURSE A NEW ONE saying I was fine and that my bones would return to normal position soon.
Today was already an emotional day, but your first skit brought me to tears, and I’m not joking about this. It brought me the tears because it made me think about the pregnancy that would’ve changed my life but never happened and also you are an inspiration in my life right now both Dr. Mike I found you by accident or I found him by accident. Both Dr. Mike are changing my life.❤❤❤
My mom never said it was easy. I'm almost 46 and I still hear about her being in labor over 12 hours, the doctor accidentally cutting her leg somehow and needing stitches and how I had very broad shoulders. Probably why I'm an only child. Lol
that comment on the IBS doctor interaction hit hard. So many times I've had pain, went into the doctor, and they say "Well I can't find anything wrong, that will be $1000 please enjoy your pain!"
I'm glad you got to talk about IBS. I actually have Ulcerative Colitis, diagnosed at 21. Luckily I don't like drinking anyway lol. It definitely does make you want to stay home wayyyyy more than normal. Also, I'm tired all the time :( I'm on stelara and it works amazing for my pain and regularity lol
@ladymarmalade92 trust me. I know what I have. I was just saying I'm glad he talked about how terrible it can be. Same symptoms as me. Felt relatable and most people have no clue what people who have EITHER GO THROUGH. Mine is actually worse than IBS so ya thanks for pointing out it's different. I know Mines chronic. Why do you think I said I have ulcerative colitis. Clearly stating what I have. Not saying I have ibs.

When I was little, my mother used to say about my birth, “You were in, you were out , it was over. No big deal” The thing she complained about was how she was eating the best hot dog when she went into labor and wasn’t able to finish it! It’s literally been more than 30 years and on my bday she STILL complains about how she didn’t get to finish her amazing hot dog! 🤣🤣🤣 Man, I love my mama!! 😍😍😍
Why can't she just order it again?
Priorities! XD
Now that's how you tell a story!

@@Saspuer26 You don't understand. A hot dog so great cannot be recreated. It wasn't just the dog, it was the essence of the experience, the smell of the air that day. One cannot simply reorder a memory.
When I asked my Mum how my birth was, she just said, “Your sister’s birth was easier. ”
I will never forget this line she said.
From what I understand the 2nd kid is easier, and the 3rd is easier than the second, so on and so forth.
@@koalachick8029 nah my Sister is the oldest and I’m the youngest, my Mum was 16 when she gave birth to my Sister so they helped "more"
Actually my mom giving birth to me was very hard so that they had to operate on 50 50 chances of life. But my sisters was normal
@@cherryelle3835 wow this is interesting but I’m glad it went well!
My mum had hyperemisis gravidarum and dislocated her spine during labour. She says she doesn’t regret having me and to this day her back still hurts 😛
I just love the delivery on the line "With more on this, obviously, is Pete Davidson."
lol, that was good
"To all the moms in the world, thanks for pretending it was easy."

I couldn't agree more 😊
Not mine. She was very open about how much it sucked 😄
@@Evija3000 well props to her for being honest lol
Old skool moms use to use their suffering to bring you into this world as leverage against you for LIFE!
Mine doesn't, she tells me all the time what a terrible time she had 😂 😂

Funny. My doctor had NO problem telling me I had IBS when I DIDN'T.
All she did, was use her hands and feel my abdomen.
Told me IBS, gave me a pamphlet, and told me to take fiber supplements.
I saw a new doctor a few months later, turns out I had gallstones from hell.
So yeah I don't have a gallbladder anymore.
Oh my gosh. That's horrible >.
Gallbladder pain feels nothing like IBS! WTF!
same story here, my mom even took video of the pain spasms after eating and she still wasn't convinced. Ended up waiting for her to go out of town so we could get the surgery without her blocking it, idk what was up with that doc
IBS in my experience is used sometimes when the doctor has no idea of what’s wrong. I spent years receiving treatments for IBS, none of which did anything at all, when in reality I had anxiety issues that were causing all those symptoms. After 2 weeks of going to a psychiatrist after realizing I had anxiety, I was almost back to normal for the first time in 2 years and a half.
Yep I was told IBS right away without the symptoms Dr. Mike described. Turns out I have Celiac Disease 🤦♀️
My favourite part of this video (and it's a great one) is the fact that even someone as polite as Dr. Mike cannot keep his feelings for Elon secret.
Doctor Mike, just wanna let you know your channel helped save a life in Philadelphia.
I saved a family members life bc of chest compressions. I even did the sternum knuckles rub and everything.

as someone with IBS it’s nice hearing someone actually talk about it because no one really does. It took my doctor YEARS to diagnose me :/ Constantly missing school because of stomach issues, my parents even thought I was faking it to skip school. Bet they felt bad for accusing me of that after I was diagnosed. I’ve had medication for years now and it really helps. :)
It took years for me to be diagnosed too.
WAIT THEY HAVE MEDICATION!?!@L:":QWL
this is like when ppl dont care abt mental health until a loved one kills themselves
I have IBS-M. Mine was not disgnosed for years as well. When it came to getting diagnosed, it was by an ambulance EMT. He also mentioned that if I quit eating food items that have corn, I would be a lot better off. From that moment on, I stopped eating anything that contains even the slightest amount of corn. I even stay away from high fructose corn syrup as best as I can. Ever since, I have not a single flare up or had to urgently use the restroom.
@@ONE-ADAM-TWELVE i unfortunately live in the midwest, i cannot escape the corn
I’m actually crying because you talking about IBS and saying how hard it can be to live with feels so validating.. I feel seen, thank you 🥺❤️❤️
People don't understand what it's like planning your entire life around access to a bathroom.
Literally same!!! I am struggling to get officially diagnosed and I honestly thought I was being over dramatic, or not realistic with how I felt and the entire situation. I also had no clue that there could be possible solutions to this issue. I just thought I will have to live with gut wrenching pain forever since I have been dealing with it since I was 6! This video was an extreme eye opener.
I got diagnosed IBS because my doctor didnt want to do test (i live in canada , family doctor tend to avoid random test because it cost a lot 🤣🤣🤣)

I can actually say the day my son was born was the best day of my life. I had a planned classical C-section. Halloween 2008. I felt no pain. Let students watch, and I definitely recommend that. They need to learn somehow, and they treat you like a queen. Now, once the pain meds wore off and I went home...that was the hard part.
I also had a Halloween c section baby BUT regular epidurals don't work on me so I felt everything, went into shock, threw up and almost choked to death.
@@kairikasai Wow
I also had a Halloween C-section. It was the absolute worst. I've had 3 kids, first with an epidural, 2nd completely unmedicated, and 3rd with a C-section. C-section was *by far* the worst.

I have IBS, and it’s been really hard dealing with it. Thanks, Dr. Mike, for talking about the difficulties of it because I’ve had so many doctors brush off my concerns and issues, friends and family make fun of me, and I’ve missed a lot of things because of the pain I’m in. It’s nice to hear a doctor who truly cares about his patients even through these types of videos.

My mom told the story of how she brought a copy of "To Kill a Mockingbird" to read as she recuperated from giving birth to me (back when a birth meant a hospital stay of several days). After the birth, back in her room, she tried reading it. She said she could understand the words, but couldn't seem to string them together to make coherent thoughts.
Fast forward about 15 - 16 years, and I had to read TKAM for school. Mom would normally read whatever books I had to read for English class anyway (it saved her a trip to the library), so she figured, "If my teenager is expected to understand this, I CERTAINLY should be able to as well. Lemme give it another try."
About a chapter in, she remarked, "Why couldn't I understand THIS? They must have given me some *powerful* drugs..."
LOL
Tbh I feel like birth *should* require a hospital stay a lot.
@@StonedtotheBones13 On the one hand, I get it that hospitals are a great place if you want to catch something. They want you out asap for your own good. But on the other hand, I think the drive to discharge can be taken too far.
I forget which British Royal it was, but I remember seeing the new royal mom -- not wheeled out in a wheelchair in a fancy peignoir or robe, but in a suit/dress and nylons and heels with perfect hair and makeup -- leaving the hospital on her own two feet, carrying an _hours-old_ newborn.
(I couldn't help thinking that they were doing her hair and makeup while she was delivering the afterbirth. The timeline kinda required it.)
I'm sure she got *all* the meds she needed, but I thought that was above and beyond the call of duty, even for British royalty. The poor woman just pushed a 7-10 pound royal football out of her body; give her a chance to heal!
She wasn't a Dothraki, fer cryin' out loud!

My dad could probably blow a window out if he sneezed closely enough
So does my mom! Nobody knows why and she can’t control it.

My mom has always told me the story of how I was born, this was what I was told when I was younger: “You were adorable, nothing was wrong at all” This is the version I now know: “You broke you collar bone during delivery”
That's what happened when my brother was born too! Well, the doctor had to break it to get him out of the birth canal.

Shout out to all those who gave or will give birth. I could never have biological children because of my fear of childbirth(and a genetic condition).You're all amazing for going through the journey and I have massive respect for you.💕
Fear of childbirth to the point it stops you from being able to carry a baby (if that's something you truly want) is an actual phobia you can get mental health treatment for. Of course, idk how much it impacts your life or if having a biological child is important enough to you that it's something you'd want to work towards because obviously you don't have to want a bio baby to be happy and have a family. But yeah just depending on your feelings about it and if you'd wanna put in the work in therapy, you could find help to work through those fears. Or you could just say, nah it's not for me, which is also perfectly valid
Thank you that was so kind and thoughtful 😊❤️🙏

My mom has IBS, the diarrhea-predominant variant. Before she was diagnosed when I was younger we went shopping at Marshall’s after lunch and her stomach took a turn for the worse. She spent like 30 minutes in the bathroom. Came out and was like “we need to leave we need to leave NOW” and she hurried me out of the store.
That woman had explosive diarrhea in a Marshall’s and missed the toilet. Completely. It got on the handle, the wall, the tank of the toilet. She cleaned it up as best as she could but 😭😭😂😂

Mixing these funny scenes with actual teaching is genius. One thing I notice is that you have the right balance, more comedy than teaching. It's working.
I got diagnosed with IBS (diarrhea) when I was 15, I am now 27. I could never tell anyone what I had because the name almost sounds comical so back then I felt embarrassed when I had doctor's notes that allowed me to take tests/ quizzes in the hall because not only is it a physical ailment, when you start to become anxious/ nervous your mind kicks up your gut and bowel which would typically happen whenever the room I was in was silent/ in close quarters with other people (that was my trigger). I was really depressed because of it and restricted my diet to prevent "flare-ups" and triggers at school.
I have FODMAPS, I totally get it. I was happy just having a smaller branch with a less stressful name
I never thought about me being nervous flaring my IBS, but wow is that true! I always know when I'm actually nervous/anxious about something because I immediately feel like I have to poop!

As a 25 year old, you hit it right on the head with the social media bit. People can make a place or event that is so serious into something so trivial and it makes me sick.
The only time that’s acceptable is when you are personally affected by the event and you make it clear that your use of trivialization or jokes applies to you and only you. Sh*t like Americans joking about World War III when they have zero connection to everything that’s happening in Ukraine? That’s unacceptable.

I kept accidentally sucking in the baby while I was trying to hold in my poo. It was horrible, and lasted much longer than it needed to be.

I had a very difficult labor. I needed the pitocin to make me dilate. Then, about 3am, they told me his heart rate kept dropping too low and they may have to do an emergency c-section, so I should call my family (this was in 2011, I feel like that's important now). After they said that, his heart rate stopped dropping. It took 25 1/2 hours total to give birth, I was pushing for an hour and 58 minutes once I was 10 CM. The labor was so stressful, he "pooped" inside me. I didn't get to hold him until he was about a half hour old because he has swallowed the meconium.
My 1st born was something similar. I'll never understand people who think C-sections are easier than vaginal birth. Both are hard, but I felt the whole experience and recovery of C-section was much more difficult for me.
Did he have a NICU stay? My birth was similiar, couldnt dilate 3 1/2 days later we had to do a c section, i didnt get to see him until the next morning
@@jasperwagner7270 thankfully, he did not. The nicu nurses were in the room and they suctioned his lungs. I got to hold him and my family got to see him for about an hour and they took him to the nicu just for a physical exam. He was gone about a half hour - hour, but it felt like forever.
@@jasperwagner7270 they also had to do a blood test right away because I'm O negative and if he was also O negative there was a chance he could be born with some type of liver disease.

As someone who is a member of gen z, I just find it funny that people think we actually talk just like that. I know it’s a joke here but some people actually think that’s how we use slang terms. To them it’s just slang terms and nothing else 😂
7:50 My mom was having numbness and pain in her legs and got it scanned. The lady called back with her results and said, “Congratulations, nothing came up on the scans, you’re fine!” but my mom was like I can’t WALK. 🤦♀️ Now she’s in a wheelchair full-time with transverse myelitis caused by radiation therapy for her cancer.
Dang.
The doctors took really long to diagnoze my mom's cancer, later lyme desease and after that (especially) believing she has constant chronic pain. She's very talkative so I think they probably just assume she's there for attention/ is exaggerating and don't take her complaints too seriously, until it's almost too late. They just run one or two tests and say she's fine or diagnoze something else, untill she borderline forces somebody to do more tests.
🤔🤔🤔 the docs here do all kinds of tests... even unnecessary ones 🤷🏼♀️ one time I went in bc I was feeling gross and wasn’t getting better- one of the major symptoms I had was major sore throat; doc said they would start with a strep test- I told them it wasn’t necessary bc I had had strep about 20 times before (literally, not figuratively) and I knew it wasn’t that... they still made me do it and no surprise it was negative (just like I had told them it would be) 🙄 then we did a bunch of other tests 🤷🏼♀️

Still crazy to me how we dont have any way to deal with kidney stones and pregnancies but we can literally split the atoms of a molecule and build giant space stations.
I heard that you can split atoms just by hitting 2 pieces of pure uranium together and being very brave
Well I’m regards to pregnancy we have surgeries that skip the usual process, I believe they cut through the stomach. The thing is most people just choose to have a normal pregnancy to keep it natural when in reality the surgery is faster, less painful, and safer. ( not an expert might be wrong on a few things )
I mean, i dont know what we could do to ease the birthing process anymore without just drugging them up hella lol
@@samo1198 c-sections are actually a risk to the mother and child more than natural birth is. It’s also as equally painful because they can’t put you to sleep. You do get numbed in that area and can barely feel the surgery but they spinal tap you and temporarily paralyze the area. My mother had 3 c-sections. And she only has 3 kids.
@@samo1198 there's a women who commented a few posts above this one that legit goes in on how risky C-sections are and not easy.
I love having the extra commentary about some of the issues with these kinds of sketches. They can be so funny but so quick to spread misinformation. Good looking out, Doc!

after watching these videos for so long I've realized Dr. Mike has given me too much hope in doctors, till I went and they did exactly what he says they shouldn't do.. "Your scans look good you can go home"
If you know that something is wrong, get a second opinion. This situation happens far too often. I like to read reviews of doctors in my network to see if the doctor listened to their patients and took them seriously. If they do, that typically would be in the review.
My husband was born with one kidney. He gets UTIs and kidney infections because of it. He went to a nephrologist (doctor who should know everything about kidneys) and the doctor asked him when he'd had surgery to remove his kidney, as there is a scar where he'd had his kidney reimplanted (basically, surgeons take it out, do what they need to do, and then put the kidney back in). The doctor couldn't understand that he'd been born with only one kidney and had had surgery on it. This guy was old and set in his ways. My husband had to walk out of the appointment because the guy didn't believe him. So, not all doctors are good doctors. My husband got a second opinion.
@@stifledbabsie I appreciate the comment, I can only speak for myself but hopefully others will agree that at least in the US there's only so many times you can go "get another opinion" when each time you go you get charged a decent chuck of change. Now if all I had to do was get a second opinion you may say thats worth the loss but what about a 3rd or 4th since the rate at which doctors do this isn't 1 to 100

Ok, hearing that many dads get light headed and dizzy during the birth makes me feel a lot better. Because I know I got super dizzy and light headed during my daughter’s birth and felt bad that I couldn’t be standing next to my wife when she was pushing. So knowing it’s somewhat common is kind of relieving to hear!
Not just somewhat common, it's incredibly common. Nurses are trained to make sure birthing partners aren't fainting risks during labor. My nurse kept checking in with my husband throughout the birth of our daughter, almost as much as she checked in with me.
My mom always sighs when she knows the father will be in the delivery room, and hopes the nurse "handles" the dad well. Usually puts a bonus chocolate bar into her pocket as well, those things can get hella long for the first timers especially.
I had to watch my sister give birth when I was 9. Front row and centre. I don't get why men faint. I was just a kid.
My bio dad fainted trying to cut the cord. My aunt took the liberty
@@ann-mariemeurs952 For some it might be the blood/gore of the situation. For others, its the fact that their wife is clearly in so much pain and their body is going into fight or flight , but they obviously can't do either, which overwhelms them.
I actually laughed my second child out. The first one was a dry delivery that lasted about 28 hours... they are 55 and 50 now, so things have probably changed a lot since then. I was so happy #2 was a fast one!
Now, my mom had problems when I was born...she was 18 and I was the 2nd child. She got to the lovely Catholic hospital at 7 a.m. , was told she had hours to go, I was born 7:10 a.m., breech, with no doctor present. My mom looked about 12 back then!

I went to an ER once with (recovering) upper respiratory. I wanted to make sure it wasn't getting worse. The doctor looked at my throat and asked what I was doing to treat it. I listed the OTC medications and that I was drinking coffee and water. The doctor said: ok, keep doing that, your getting better. I got a bill for five hundred dollars ($250 for doctor).
But fr why would you go to the ER?
Save ER for emergencies. With an ‘upper respiratory’ then you could have seen a local Dr, especially if you were recovering.
You deserved that. You had no business in the ER with a non-emergency. I can’t even imagine bothering my GP when I’m already recovering, but taking that nonsense to ER is very socially irresponsible.
bro why did you go to the ER just go to urgent care or your regular doctor? ER is for LIFE THREATENING CONDITIONS
You go to the ER if it's serious enough to threaten your life, and they will discharge you when they feel like you're going to live. Their diagnostic abilities are limited, that isn't what they're for. This is just one personal example, but they missed my appendicitis when my parents took me to the ER. They gave me three liters of saline and sent me on my way.
Urgent care, which typically has much more restrictive hours, is a lot better for getting diagnosed and treated for something stronger than you could schedule for a PCP/family medicine doctor to address.

Dr. Mike should totally due a video on busting medical myths!!
...all of his videos bust myths.
he did already
He does that in like, every video! 😂
Specifically, myths about ADD/ADHD and learning disabilities, I would say.

8:55 this entire skit is exactly how milineals sound!
Love this! I love SNL skits, and the medical ones are the best. I only take NyQuil if I can't sleep. I think it's the Benadryl in it that always makes me feel like there's a soft, warm blanket over my brain so I can sleep. It doesn't do much for my cold symptoms, though. Also, Dr. Mike, have you ever considered doing a reaction video to the medical scenes in New Amsterdam? That's one of my favorite shows to binge watch, and I always think of you when I watch because the doctors are so caring about their patients and medical practices.
when i asked my mom about my birth she actually taught me a lot. i have an older sister (9 years older than me) but her pregnancies were actually pretty hard. she had to get a c section for both and the delivery wasn’t easy either, she had to be connected to an IV the whole time and a lot of other stuff happened. i am so proud of her and i admire her so much because of that. i on the other hand, have no intentions of having children, and pregnancy/delivery is such a scary concept for me.
Same with my mom. My sister was almost a two day labor with the cord wrapped around her neck. For me she was in distress for like twelve hours before the doctors finally did a C section. Placenta had ripped away from me and I had to be resuscitated. Brother was a C section because he was a fat baby and they tend to do C sections if the mother has had them before.
I love how excited you were while explaining why we sneeze 😂
it was like he was waiting to do that his whole life 🤣
IBS is pain. Nothing quite like walking home, then being 100 meters from your front door... Bam. The Pressure kicks in and you automatically run on tip toes as you try to sprint home as you only have 30 seconds until you explode entirely.
My mom tried to sell me on the whole “birth is magical” story in an effort to convince me to have kids by telling me that “it’s nothing like how it’s depicted on TV.”
My mom had two scheduled c-sections. She never even went into labor. She literally has no clue.
My mom has had plenty of natural labors and never sugarcoat anything. Both the women should have a talk 🤣🤣
It really is nothing like how it's depicted on TV... but not for the reasons she means it LOL
A C-section can be horrible too. My mother had one, it was traumatic for her
Absolutely. But my mom’s were very easy-peasy. So when I didn’t buy her “it’s not as traumatic as it looks on TV” she told me I could just get knocked out and cut open like her, which was still a big “no thanks.”
Luckily easy for me, but you have to be relaxed, and, luck. And preferably dont wait till youre old, collagen and healing quickly take a dive. It's the days after that are tough IMO

My brain hurts just hearing thease stereotipes, and i even don't have pain receptors in my brain!
About the flu stuff; thank you doctor Mike for pointing that out. I had a cold and had been coughing for 3 weeks straight. Doc wouldnt help me, so i bought a random cough syrup. I got the worst allergic reaction in my life. My mouth, eyes, lips were swollen... my whole body was covered in red and spots and omg... i looked horrible.
Next time i get a cough.... i suck it up.
I'm honest with my kids about their births, complications and all, but I always tell them it was worth it (which is very true). I want them to know what to expect realistically if they ever choose to have children of their own.
It's good you do that. My mom was always honest with us about her experiences with L&D, and I very much appreciated it when it came time for me to become a momma.
My Mom was so honest it was pretty much like putting birth control in my water... Though I never could understand why so many teenagers around me were popping out kids like they were taking cookies out the oven...
I came out yellow ... not rh factor but it was that my mom's blood decided to be aggressive. And my blood was dying so, I was dying but then I was transferred to another hospital, and we actually went on a small jet to get there. Once we were there my dad donated blood to me which ultimately saved my life. I forgot what my mom said about what the condition was called.
My mom was honest too, I'm very thankful for it. Though she still made it funny. She was very into natural medicine and had a GP that reflected that. Her labor for me (her first child) lasted 36 hours, she refused to take an epidural and said she regretted it. Then when my little sister came out, it only took 4 hours and by the time the doctor got there she was crowning already and couldn't have one. She thinks it's pretty funny in hindsight, though I imagine not so much then.
My mom was VERY honest because I was her first birth child and I left her in painful labor for 2 weeks 😃 and I reached 10 centimeters during a shift change so I was greeted to the world by the doctors keys flying across the room and her catching my head a moment before disaster
That music @10:26 tho . . . 😂
10:30 One of the most harrowing experiences of my life was witnessing 9/11 when I was five years old, and visiting the memorial in Manhattan gives me a sense of gravity that I don't feel anywhere else. One time I was there, I was sitting down on a bench with my girlfriend as both of us collected our thoughts and feelings, and we watched two teenage girls laughing and taking a selfie of themselves by the North Pool. It made both of us feel sick. I felt the same sickness watching that clip of selfies at Auschwitz. There are limits.
I had a teacher laugh during during a movie about the Jewish people dying. Years later, he was a registered sex offender.
That video is in fact in Berlin, Germany. It's one of the most beautiful pieces of art I ever experienced. From the street level, all the blocks look the same height, but when you enter the space you see the ground has different levels and many blocks have different sizes. Awesome!
@@Serenityblu23 Somehow that uh... that makes sense.
Thank you for covering IBS! I have it (along with GI other issues) and I have internalized a lot of issues with it, like it keeps me from wanting to date, go out, and it helps me be more picky. Luckily there are a lot of support groups that can really help, but there is still such a huge social stigma around it. We need to make people realize it isn't gross/unsanitary nor is it just a joke (I kid you not, I told someone who was making a bunch of jokes how rude it was and they replied they thought it was made up!) Every little bit helps :)
IBS and Fibromyalgia (which I have both) are so overlooked and misunderstood and they definitely make a huge impact on my life. I don’t go anywhere without knowing where a bathroom is and I’m always worried about needing a bathroom when I’m out. I’ve had to use the most disgusting bathrooms/port-a-johns because I didn’t have a choice. The stories are endless and while I def steer clear of some foods, it often doesn’t make any difference. One day something bothers me and the next it doesn’t. I do take medicine that helps slow my gut some but every day is different- I never know if I’ll be in the bathroom once or many times. It’s exhausting.
Took over a year, a colonoscopy, endoscopy, and several ER visits before mine was diagnosed. It's especially reassuring not to hear a Doctor trying to brush it off as stomach gas or something...
I have UC from almost 5 years It's Form or part of IBS or IBD I believe It took the doctors almost 1 year to Diagnose , And it was Diagnosed after colonoscopy . Even If I am not having flare ups I'm always feel uncomfortable going outside with family and friends , where ever I go I always try to find a bathroom . I guess it's my habit now 😂 so I mostly avoid going outside .

I had IBS. A mix of both kinds. I don’t know why, but it went away when I got my mental health and anxiety under control. Have you seen it just go away like that, Dr. Mike? That and fibromyalgia completely went into remission. I work and am happy and healthy now. Amazing!
1:36 apparently when I was born I was a bit yellow because I’d done a um…I’d uh…made a mess in Mom’s womb lol.

My mom had 5 kids, she said some births were easier than others but I was by far the most challenging considering she had to be put on oxygen, and said she nearly passed out.
My mom has told me and my twin many times that we were the hardest birth for her. She did unmedicated homebirths for the other 3, but being that we're twins, and we were badly positioned, C-section was the only option. She said that her recovery from vaginal deliveries were a piece of cake compared to the terrible, weeks-long recovery she had with the C-section.
My mom told me that when I was born, I don't cry when I came out. I am like chill sleeping. And then, the nurse slap my butt two time to check whether I am dead or alive
My grandmas heart stopped for a few minutes during birth with my dad. It was her first. She was fine with the other 3.

Antibiotic to clear away any bacteria and then probiotic to repopulate the gut with proper bacteria. It worked, after over a year of testing.

i watched my sister in-laws labor live in a video chat. she was laughing and having a good time. she would push then crack jokes. she had such a smoothe labor and it was all natural. i’m 41 and never had a baby. but i’ve dreamed of it. wish i could say i did. i’m everyone’s mom. such a blessing as well.
The fact that my mom could stay lucid while staring at her bowels in a bowl during my C-section is still unbelievable to me. Never underestimate a nurse let alone a mother who is also a nurse.
THEY KEEP YOU AWAKE FOR THOSE?!
Yes, the mother is usually awake (but still anesthetized)- they need her awake to make sure nothing serious is happening ... BUT there’s no way she would see what’s going on unless it happened in a poor foreign country- they put up a disposable shield at about the mother’s neck and the partner stands behind the shield as well (to prevent contamination) 🤷🏼♀️
@@candicecart9786 I was born in the Philippines so the latter is probably true. Hell, there was only a paper curtain between me and the waiting room during a "certain" procedure
If her bowels were in a bowl, she had much bigger problems to worry about. Aside from what some movies show, organs aren’t removed during a LSCS and put into a bowl. The Dr will avoid touching the bowel as much as possible to avoid causing tears or adhesions.
My Mom said the exact opposite. She said the birth of my older brother was easier (she was 26 at the time) but giving birth to me was painful AF (age 34). Don’t understand how that happened lmao
probably because she was older with her second kid
@@riverdaisy4215 It is possible. Still kinda weird that her first delivery was easy.
Baby size may have been larger than the first one.
I heard that second labor is easier only if the time between them where not very long, maybe up to 5 years
8 years is quite an age gap. That probably contributed to it. Plus her being older with you.
SNL: "Thanks for pretending it was easy."
My mom: *points to C section scar* "You did this to me"
"Why does he look like that? Why is he yellow?!" That is such a great quote lol
Just watching him can make us happy..❤️❤️❤️❤️
My mom's labor was induced which meant she had hard contractions the entire time. It took 19 hours for her to get to 10 cm. Then they made her push for two hours before doing an ultrasound and discovering that my leg was up by my head and they needed to do a C-section. When I was out, my leg was staying up in the air. The nurse told my mom she broke my hip and she started to cry. The doctor TORE THE NURSE A NEW ONE saying I was fine and that my bones would return to normal position soon.
I assume the doctor sticks their head under the drape in tv/movie scenes so they don't have to worry about what the camera might accidentally see.

My mom never said it was easy. I'm almost 46 and I still hear about her being in labor over 12 hours, the doctor accidentally cutting her leg somehow and needing stitches and how I had very broad shoulders. Probably why I'm an only child. Lol
that comment on the IBS doctor interaction hit hard. So many times I've had pain, went into the doctor, and they say "Well I can't find anything wrong, that will be $1000 please enjoy your pain!"
I'm glad you got to talk about IBS. I actually have Ulcerative Colitis, diagnosed at 21. Luckily I don't like drinking anyway lol. It definitely does make you want to stay home wayyyyy more than normal. Also, I'm tired all the time :( I'm on stelara and it works amazing for my pain and regularity lol
What you have is called IBD-ulcerative colitis and crohns disease falls into this category. IBS is different.
@ladymarmalade92 trust me. I know what I have. I was just saying I'm glad he talked about how terrible it can be. Same symptoms as me. Felt relatable and most people have no clue what people who have EITHER GO THROUGH. Mine is actually worse than IBS so ya thanks for pointing out it's different. I know Mines chronic. Why do you think I said I have ulcerative colitis. Clearly stating what I have. Not saying I have ibs.
