I had to speak up for myself because a doctor was trying to push a method I didn't want. It took arguing for over 10 minutes for her to listen and when she did, I ended up giving birth very quickly.
Up until about the 90's I think it was, people in american medical schools were taught things like black people have a higher pain tolerance and tend to over react to pain, so they were taught not to even respond to a black person in pain the same way. That people who aren't white are more likely to be drug seeking. A lot of those doctors who were taught that are still working in hospitals. If yall really dont think stuff like that happens in the real world, you have to be living in a bubble and seeing only what you want. The world can be a nasty place, even for people who aren't you.
It still is in certain places/states. One of the OBGYN doctors on married to medicine did an interview and said that blk women complain to much and are overreacting. Mind you she’s a blk women going around promoting this sentiment which hurts us when other races of doctors go off of what she says and don’t believe us when we are in need of medical help. She released an apology but, for her to have the audacity to say this when there’s a history of blk women dying in child birth because of negligent doctors is insane.
Not only does it still happen, but understand the hypocrisy of what's taught: we have a HIGHER TOLERANCE FOR PAIN, yet...TEND TO OVERREACT TO PAIN. This is devoid of logic and against reason. What are we overreacting to if we're not feeling anything? Why are we overreacting to something that either is not happening, or is of little consequence to us?
Unfortunately it's true and their computer system has been programmed to be racist. Learning that was crazy but it made sense about the labs. I decided to take a course on The History of Healthcare since I will be working with them
With my son, hot showers helped the pain and helped me relax. I got a flat out no, and wasn't allowed to even move.
Make her sign a waver that she choses to give birth vaginally against the doctors recommendations. I am not american so i cant say i exactly understand what the numbers they were talking about are - but it is true that minorities arent taken in the sample for most researches. So the wider social issue and fight are understandable and fight for inclusion in research should continue. But for the time being, for this mother, in this emergency situation you gotta sign a waver that applies to this individual case scenario.
from what I understand, people of color (in the USA) have higher maternity deaths during labor because of internalized racism within the hospital/health care system. because black people were enslaved for hundreds of years, the horrific misconception that they could handle more pain was created. this is a lie. Their pain threshold is the same as a white person's. but because of this stereotype, many black women were (and are) denied things like epidurals, blood clotting medication, etc, because "they can take it" and die. they are not more prone to death because of their skin color, they are more prone to death because of the prejudice surrounding the color of their skin.
My daughter was 9 days late, I went to the hospital to get induced. However, pitocin was useless in my case, so as much as I didn't want a c-section, IT HAPPENED. My obgyn delivered my daughter via c-section. Nothing I could do about it but I was fine with it in the end😊
What's wrong with getting a C-section it doesn't make you less of a mother
I had to have a c-section in an emergency they didn't ask me. I was told my husband singed consent. I was barely conscious. We had discussed this earlier in the day, about consent in an emergency. My beautiful baby girl would not have delivered naturally. She was transverse lye and was 10lbs. The doctor said she wouldn't have fit through my pelvic cage. She arrived angry but beautiful and healthy that was more important to me than my feelings.
I was an emergency c section. It was such a rush that they forgot to get written consent. Mom signed the form the next day.
I fired my doctor during my labor. The resident stepped in and she and the charge nurse helped me have a normal, problem free delivery. The doctor wanted to force a faster labor on me and my baby so he could go home and watch the ball game.
Ok so I’m a black female, (I’m also 16 but that’s not the point)
No idea how to feel about it this. I understand the message, but the whole support my birth plan thing just sounds stupid when there’s high risk that the baby could die? I mean the woman was trying to deliver at home, but didn’t even make it out of the hospital before having complications. I don’t. See the whole race issue, no one is discriminating due to her skin color, the reason that people with colored skin have more complications, etc is just genetics or I guess a common complication for people with that heritage? Ethnicity?
If patients were required to sign a contract or something agreeing to do what they against doctors wishes (Not because they are perfectly fine or something/doctors or just saying or doing things) I’m talking about women who are having complications and have a birth plan that risks the life of their baby and themselves but refuse to do any other treatment because it’s not how they wanted to deliver (basically what’s happening in the video, I wonder what would have happened if she started bleeding while at home? Or if delivering the baby naturally causes a major complication that causes the baby or the mother to die? Then what? Are they going to accept that this was caused by still deciding to go through something that posed a risk? Or still somehow blame the hospital (This is assuming the hospital did everything right btw)
So my second baby was 11lbs, I was pre diabetic, 3rd baby they wanted me to have a c section I refused they harassed me some but allowed me to deliver my baby naturally, there was no complications, while I'm pregnant with baby 4, they go back to pushing the c section telling me there a 10% chance of me having another big baby, I told them if the ultrasound show a big baby I'll agree, they wanted me to sign off on it my first visit ,but Ive already successfully delivered a normal size baby after my big baby. Every appointment I was called into the office and told I was stupid and should just listen to the doctors because they are smart. They told the father how could you let her put your baby at risk causeing problems at home. They threatened to not deliver my baby. I was stressed out beyond belief I went on to deliver a normal size baby, no complications But I'm still traumatized by my experience with the doctors. I still stood up and fought for my rights because nobody knows my body better then me
Omg i want to know what happens next!!!!!
She has a natural birth.
@@xwrtkwas the baby ok?
@@AuroraButterflyx Yes though clip was very short.
@@xwrtk that's good
@@xwrtkThank you for asking the question 👍
My mom was in labor with me for almost 24 hours. They wanted to give my mom an epidural but she told the guy that she would stick that needle where he didn't want it if he came anywhere near her and she would. Mom was a very big believer in natural and non drug (unless needed to speed up the labor for the safety of both mom and baby) birth. she just didn't believe in getting drugs as women had been giving birth without pain meds for thousands of years.
Also was fine with C-sections as well as some babies will just not come out vaginally or the mom's body not matter what their size or height is. Like a 5 foot women gave birth 9 times natural with the SMALLEST baby being 12lbs and that was a girl. I know this as that woman was my great grandma on my mom's side. but a 6 foot woman had to have all her kids via c-section. So sometimes it is the woman's own body that is the issue per say.
Also had a issue with a nurse who wouldn't let my dad in as they were not married when i was born as that nurse didn't believe that the father unless married should be in the room. The only thing that kept that nurse from getting a cat scan for a head injury was the very fact that she was a woman and my dad wouldn't hit a woman. he just told her that he made it he was gonna be in the room when it was was born and pushed and in his words a little to hard passed her into the delivery room.
Growing up in my lily white bubble I never gave a second thought to black women in labor & their infant mortality rate. Then my brother married a Dominican girl. Tiny thing & my bro is over six feet. I don’t know what her doctor was thinking. NYC hospital. What they put her & my niece thru was negligible at best. Her head was pointed! All that pressure to push out a 10 pound baby! At least the next one was a scheduled C section. My mom was there & swore they put her thru that because of her skin color. Shameful
head shape is really not a cause for concern. lots of babies born vaginally have distorted head shapes because the skull bones are not fused, specifically to allow the head to squeeze through the birth canal. c-sections are inherently more painful, harder to heal from, with a greater risk of complications. my son was born with a collapsed lung because he was a c-section, normally the pressure of birth seals those holes so the lungs can inflate properly. if a woman of any skin color is allowed to labor naturally, that's the safest option for both her and the baby.
Growing up is realizing Max Goodwin doesnt exist ANYWHERE and never will
Shes right but hes absolute right too
Petition for part 2
It's not always about skin colour... It's just assumptions and ignorance. Tried to tell me my boy was a week over & I had to be induced.. No!!! My boy was born perfect the next day.. Don't be bullied but don't be stupid!
okay you see how you got extremely lucky right? being overdue isn't about whether your baby is "perfect," it's the fact that the placenta starts to calcify and can no longer deliver nutrients in utero. by 42 weeks the placenta is significantly less effective and by 43 weeks it's basically non-functioning. they weren't lying to you about him being overdue or saying there was anything wrong with your baby, and in a way they were right, he was ready, he just needed an extra day.
The numbers do not have anything to do with the color of her beautiful skin. Except that her beautiful skin is also due to her genetics. Dont get me wrong. There are definitely medical bias and even medical stats that have been directly and indirectly related to prejudices. But. There are also stats that are directly related to genetics. Including race. And those should not be discarded in effort to "save face" or make "everything exactly equal"
(Please note. I do NOT mean circumstances, situations, deetails, etc, that are caused by others (or even ourselves))
She gives me Angela Bassett Vibes
He was awesome on the blacklist lol
The doctor looks like a young Russell Crowe😅
Man woke garbage is exhausting
Okay this problem should be ignored right?
@@Serena-mr5bmYou can’t reason with these people. They don’t believe in statistics, or are usually skeptical of anything scientific. They also get annoyed at seeing anyone who isn’t white in the media so they’ll be quick to write off things featuring minorities as woke.
This is all to familiar 😢
Assistant kids
Women are focused too much on the birth experience rather then happy healthy mother and child
I feel like these things often coexist, though. A good birth experience makes for a happy and mentally healthier mother, and a happy mother makes a well cared for baby. Birth trauma causes higher rates of post partum depression.
@@cinnamonroll372 You don't know everything about anything
@@jameslahey2005 I never claimed to know everything lol. I was just stating my opinion with a couple facts 🤷♀️
@@cinnamonroll372 You stated no facts though. You're going around judging people for stating a fact, a grim reality you refuse to acknowledge. Some people don't deserve help
@@jameslahey2005 ohhhh I get it now. You’re commenting on the wrong video bro 😂😂 my comment on anorexic patients was not on this video. You had me very confused haha. Anyways you’re obviously angry with me so I’m not engaging in this convo anymore 💖
Both sides are right. I just wish they showed that instead of being woke and making the doctors always the villains.
This happens all the time this isn't woke or villianizing anyone it's just a fact some people have to live through
Bs story.
Let the doctor do what they need too
Many doctors have been arrested for killing patients and their peers before they were arrested thought they were innocent and not capable of these crimes until it was proven. Not every doctors does right by their patient so just blindly listening isn’t always the best choice. Many women of color have died from bleeding out after giving birth simply because the doctor didn’t listen to their patient. This is why many ppl don’t trust them.
Black...black...black....stop already!!!
Do you realize Black moms and babies die in larger numbers because they are treated differently in labor?
@@karenashton5053I'm pretty sure Amy enjoys living in her own, racist little world
@karenashton5053 I'm so confused can you tell me how? And "racism" is not an answer actual medical factors that play in to it. I can think of the fact they probably don't get the best hospitals
@@Anthony-uu2tkIn many places it was taught that black women could handle more pain- which is incorrect. Unfortunately many still believe that and don’t take them or their pain seriously- on top of just genuinely horrible people who really are racist, not just ignorant.
@@karenashton5053 doesnt look like shes being treated differently, she seems to be the one whose assuming standard procedure is racism towards her and decides to make things even more difficult for her self than they need to be due to her own victim complex.
Just listen to the doctors and stop being so stubborn!
ENOGH Talk about color when your the hospital ! Every where you talking about discrimination !!! ENOGH !!! Your people discriminate me- How about ME, I’m Russian ????
do russians have a higher chance of dying in childbirth than non russians?
@irinkamoy
Lol, is Russian a race?
Russian is a nationality. Not a race.
Russian is a nationality and ethnicity. Hence why Russia is a nation-state
How?
What's the big deal about having a C-section doesn't make you less of a mother. My mom had two because her birth canal was to small. Heck she said she was glad to have C-sections. And it didn't make her less of a mother
