“Michelle, you’re having a kid...”
“...-ney stone?”
“No, a kid. You’re in labor.”

When I was five months pregnant with twins, we were in the middle of moving, and because of some weird loophole in our medical insurance, the new place would not accept the positive pregnancy test from the first doctor’s office (I have zero idea why this was, because they accepted my medical file and all of the ultrasounds). At 5 months, I was HUGE because my twins were each the size of a single baby (born at 35 weeks weighing over 6.5 lbs each), so the looks on the faces of everyone within earshot was priceless when I walked up and was like, “I’m here for a pregnancy test.” The entire room went dead silent. The receptionist couldn’t even speak. Finally she was like, “Sweetie.. I think it’s pretty safe to say that you’re pregnant... and probably pretty close to delivery...” I started laughing so hard, I’m surprised I didn’t pee. Or get the psych ward called on me. That’s what I think about every time I watch these.. 😂🤷‍♀️🤦‍♀️

"we do the best that we can with the information we have" This helped me recently when my grandma was taken to hospital. I wasn't to know things were worse than they seemed. When the seriousness did become apparent I acted accordingly and took her to A&E. I felt guilty for not doing something sooner, but I remembered Mama Dr Jones' words of wisdom. My grandma is recovering well and will be home in a couple of days.

It’s always hilarious when there’s a birth scene on TV and the doctors pull out a whole entire 8 year old with some grape jelly on it

I love that you tell people we do the best we can with the info we have. I was 20, had lost weight, had my cycle like normal and had zero of the other typical pregnancy symptoms. One day I woke up and had a migraine. I went to the dr and found out I was pregnant, I was on my cycle during this appointment mind you. Because I was on my cycle they did a sonogram and found I was 6 mo. The dr kept harassing me about not coming in sooner, because I apparently needed to be made to feel bad while facing down being a single mom in the early 90s. Literally every appointment why did you not come in sooner. I finally snapped and said why would I have? What symptoms would have brought me in sooner? I went off on him. He stopped asking that question. Thank you for not making people feel bad when they really just don't know

First baby, first prenatal appointment my doc saying “well the damage is already done” after I told her that I was on Zoloft. I was devastated. Loved hearing you say we do the best we can.

* Thinks about exercising *
* Hears mama doctor Jones talk about exercise can kick up ovulation *
* goes back to the couch * 😭😭😭😂😂😂😂

Her reaction “I CAME IN HERE FOR A KIDNEY STONE, NOT A BABY!” Lmao

[ssjineon]

I was told that I would never have kids. Many factors from radiation treatment to a disease of the pituitary gland were against me. So me and my husband decided not to use birth control. Well.... I'm almost 2 months pregnant now! We're shocked but very happy about our little mirical!🤰

Who saw the headline about the woman who didn't know she was pregnant and gave birth to her son prematurely in an airplane bathroom and there just happened to be a doctor and 3 NICU nurses on board who helped keep her and her baby safe until they landed in Hawaii and got her to the hospital? I really want them to make that into a I Didn't Know I Was Pregnant episode and watch Dr. Jones review it.

here i am sitting casually with my itchy leg (constantly, but esp after shower) and remembering that my dad was diagnosed with polycythemia several years ago. shit. Will bring this up at my appointment tomorrow. Thanks MDJ!

[xondraluna]

I want to thank you! You doing these videos and telling everyone to test is how i found out i was pregnant. I missed my period in feb, i was under a lot of stress and had all of the normal symptoms of it coming. The day it was supposed to come, branches fell through my roof because of freezing rain. I just thought i was still too stressed for it to come even the next month. But watching one of your videos reacting to this show on april 10 i took a test! Im due in late october. Thank you so much. I sit and wonder how long i wouldve went without knowing because i have zero symptoms of being pregnant.

When I was in labor with my youngest child (and I totally knew I was pregnant) I was in a teaching hospital. When they told me I could push, I shut my eyes for a minute, and when I opened them again, there was a whole class of nursing students suddenly crowded around me, and you are right, a big crowd is jarring.

My mom had me and my twin brother when she was 46. She chose to get married later in life and had issues getting pregnant, so it just happened late. My brother and I are very healthy!

[MollyFC]

I found it amusing how it showed her laying in the hospital bed and the doctors just came charging into the room like she was under arrest 😂😂

I know this isn't really how MDJ meant it and it's very but every time she talks about how it is completely ok to be reserved at first before you get to know your babies I always imagine it as a formal date. Like you are sitting at a nice restaurant with your bebe. You have a glass of wine and bebe bottle of milk. There is a candle in between you two and you have questions prepared.

You: So baby what is your favourite topping on a pizza?
Baby: .... smiles ....
You: Hmmm better than if you said pineapple. I would have thought they switched you at the hospital. So who's your favourite painter?
Baby:
You: Oh you like Van Gogh too! That's great. I think we have a lot in common and we are gonna get along great.

This video usually comes with my time of the month... The fact that it hasn't yet means either my birth control kicked in, or we need to ready ourselves for the next Messiah.

don't stop using the corny joke, I love it

I want to thank you
As a grandmother helping her father, my son, to raise my 11-year-old, in puberty granddaughter I find your channel very useful for info and a way to start "awkward" coversations
So much has changed (for the better) since I was going through it.
Other than better options for medical care, the best thing is that it openly talked about

[alwaysinbloom]

I was that person who didn’t use a condom once & got pregnant with my first child (my husband refused to buy more & so did I, because we each said it was the other persons turn & we’re both stubborn). Wouldn’t change a thing, she was the best thing that happened to us ❤️
