OBGYN Q&A 1 - Pregnant after BTL??

OBGYN Dr. Michael Green answers several questions we've received in the youtube comment section. Leave your questions below for the next episode!

I’m confused the doctor said I’m 3cm and my cervix is still thick. What does this mean? Am I officially 3cm dilated or am I 0cm?

I haven’t had periods in a long time. I had a thorough workup from my physician and was told I have a microadenoma. Because of this, my doctor said it would be impossible to get pregnant, but I still want a baby. Should I try fertility treatment?

I had a bilateral tubal ligation in 2017. My period is now delayed 2 months. Can I get pregnant after a BTL?

I’m 37 weeks pregnant and was told my baby is 8 pounds. Is it ok to start induction naturally? I’m not a diabetic and have had a healthy pregnancy.

Let’s take a shot every time we hear the word: question! Just kidding! I’m 39 weeks pregnant! 🤰🏻😂 ... I’m loving these types of videos, Dr! Keep them coming! You’re so sweet and informative!

[nicdvs]

I like Dr. Green, he's not arrogant and presents the subjects in a down-to-earth manner that is stimulating and informative. I and my wife are out of that market now, but we would have consulted him if we had the need and lived closer. We are in South Africa.

I've missed you doctor Green :P I started watching your videos when I was pregnant with my first in 2015/16. I am now 37 weeks with my second. It is wonderful to hear from you again!

Thank you so much for your informative videos . Your videos helped me prepare for an induction. Baby #1. I have a healthy 7 month old girl now.

Can you do a new video on VBAC? Pros and cons, the famous success rate calculator OB use, scar thickness mesurement, uterine rupture, etc. Hopefully you do them now.

[christinehaylock]

Yep, this is a great video format. Thank-you, keep it up, please!

Love these videos. They are so informative!

I love these videos, I found your videos really helpful when I was pregnant. I have a 5 month old now. I was induced because of high blood pressure and had a very quick labour then a big blood loss after. I was wondering is it likely to have another big bleed with my next baby.
I also was told I had a tilted uterus at my 7 week scan, now I’ve had baby does it mean the uterus would go back being tilted?

Your videos are really great, I think lots of women find them really comforting!

Currently I am 36 weeks and 4days pregnant, first pregnancy.Since the start of my periods at 12, I have been diagnosed with spaniomenorrhea.We tried different treatments but all of them interfered with my psoriasis, making it worse so I stopped.
Now I've been diagnosed with Hyperemesis gravidarum early on (the first 4months of pregnancy I've lost 12kg). Due to relaxin release and vomiting 20-30times a day I've also got the biggest diastasis recti(8 fingers) which stretches from the rib cage down below the belly button. My doctor said that due to this I am not able to have a natural birth because the risk of hernia is too high. I also have a short cervix (20mm) and made a dexamethasone treatment at 32weeks. So in 2 weeks I'm planned to have a C section. My concern is that I didn't find any info to back up my doctor's claims about my inability to natural birth my child. Could you shed some light on this topic? Thank you in advance.

Is it okay to have dental x rays/ procedures in the first trimester?

I have a septate uterus which is slighly heartshaped also. The septum was cut out for the most part through surgery. After that I got pregnant. I had a lot of brackston hicks contractions with my pregnancy, and my cervix was funneled and only 0.7 cm at 28 weeks. I had bedrest and my daughter stayed in till 40 weeks, thank God!
Question: will I be at high risk for preterm labor at my next pregnancy?

[anniengulube]

I do tubal ligation what can I do to get pregnant

[premr]

Dr Greene, how long Depo Provera can be used as a contraception. Is there any long term side effects from prolonged use. Tq from Malaysia

[hollygrail]

I actually have a question! I’m 39 weeks pregnant and I’m absolutely not dilated! What can I do to speed things up? Thanks!

[vinitanaidu]
