Pediatrician & OB/GYN Explain What to Expect in the Hospital for Newborn Care

This week, The Doctors Bjorkman dive into all the details of the first 2 days of a baby's life and what special care they receive in the hospital to make sure they are healthy and to help prevent some potentially life-threatening diseases. They talk about all of the major milestones to expect to see from baby and all of the important steps that need to happen before baby can be discharged safely home. Also, be sure to stick around to the end of the video where they discuss some more controversial topics like Vitamin K injections, Hepatitis B vaccines, and antibiotic eye ointment.

20 weeks pregnant and I just felt the baby kick!!! It’s feeling more real. I love all your videos, they really help lower my anxiety.

Im in my third trimester and just made an appointment with our soon-to-be Pediatrician for a prenatal consultation/interview! Would love a video about what to ask/expect when meeting with your pediatrician for the first time :)

After almost 20 years of PCOS and fertility issues, I found out I am pregnant with my first baby. It happened naturally after Clomid etc....didn't help! Really enjoyed this video!

I'm 26 weeks pregnant with my first baby. I am so thankful for these videos. They are so informative and you both have a great clam energy. Cannot wait to see more! Also would love an educational video on SIDS. That is what I am most terrified about

[ashleygaska]

This is so informative! I'm 33.1 weeks (due May 25) with our 2nd daughter but I have forgotten all this since she's 7 years old. Prayers to you both for a safe and healthy baby and delivery.

I'm glad you two are making these. My wife is pregnant and we've been doing a lot of research on what things are actually important for baby.

[clarissamelendez]

I’ve been watching you along my first pregnancy journey(29weeks) and have been so thankful for you both!

[LayCeeKay]

I’m not currently pregnant but planning for it. I’m really enjoying binging your videos. I’m learning SO much. I appreciate all the work you both put into this channel!!

[lauradmartinez]

I live in the middle of nowhere in Nebraska, so there are no pediatrician close by. My doctor does everything, she is my family doctor, my ob, and pediatrician for my kids. These videos help a lot to ask questions though.

[sabitaloie]

This is so informative and I am 14 weeks pregnant and your videos make me so comfortable and confident. I watch your videos and then discuss those topics with my OB and that has made me trust her more. Good luck you guys👼🏼

[shannonclaire]

I’ve just found out I’m pregnant 🙌🏻✝️ can’t wait to follow along

I do not think my babies had blood screenings that had results reported much later. But they did require a hearing test done at the hospital before we left - this was not mentioned as one of the tests in this video.
Also, we could choose to do any vaccinations at our pediatricians after going home instead of in hospital.

I'm 36 weeks pregnant with baby number 2 and ready for delivery!!! 😂
I believe no 2 babies are the same and it's always good for a refresh and more baby education.
Thanks Doctors!

The fact that delayed cord cutting is now becoming standard is good news. When I gave birth the first time in 2011 I asked for delayed cord clamping/cutting and the doctor treated me like I was crazy. Basically told me I would bleed out and possibly die if they delayed cord cutting.

Thanks for explaining newborn screening. I think many prospective parents are unfamiliar with what is done and how it differs from preconception and prenatal genetic testing.

Thank you for this video. Really helpful information. My 3rd and final baby arrived so quickly that I gave birth unassisted in the hospital parking garage. This resulted in my baby not receiving a medical evaluation until 10-15 mins postpartum. There was multiple concerns about my baby’s health but so far so good.

I hope lot of people watch your videos. It’s really informative and educational! Thank you for all of your videos! I am in my third trimester and i am learning a lot of things from you guys. Keep up the good work Doctors! Thank you 💞💞💞 Love

[meshleensweilem]

I’m from Australia and I love watching all your videos, it’s making me feel calm after exciting news. Keep it up and God bless 🙏🏻

They did delayed cord clamping for me and my first baby because I'm anemic and they wanted to make sure baby got more blood. She was tested for anemia and showed that she had a small amount anemia

[griselleguillama]

Thank you for making this very informative video! I always wondered what the evidence was behind these routine procedures. Doctors in my area are always in such a hurry they often forget about the "informed" part of informed consent. This video was very helpful, especially for a first time mom with pathological anxiety- Thanks again! ❤
