ObGyn Reacts: Did She Miscarry? | Didn't Know I Was Pregnant

Board Certified Ob/Gyn physician Mama Doctor Jones reviews an episode of TLC's "I Didn't Know I Was Pregnant" while teaching and commenting on the show. In this episode, Reesa assumes a miscarriage meant she was no longer pregnant and her fear of doctors keeps her from getting follow-up care.

“Take a pregnancy test!” Is like dr.mikes chest compressions and I love it.

[catherinefairweather]

It’s interesting that they missed the breathing tube detail in the re-enactment, but they nailed the 80s glasses.

I love her comment, “When in doubt, take a pregnancy test.” I just pictured a guy having knee pain and saying, “Well I gotta take a pregnancy test.” 😂

The husband made me cry, he remembers the emotions so much that when he started crying about the fact that he almost lost his wife, I started crying with him

I had a fairly unexpected positive pregnancy test about 9 months ago and I didn't feel any type of connection to my baby for 5-7 months. People acted like I was a monster for it. I took prenatals, took care of my health but I felt like dirt because everyone was saying I should be overwhelmingly in love with the fetus. I think its so so important to normalize and talk about the fact that not having that deep connection with something you have never seen does not mean you are a bad person or that you will be a bad mother. Being that voice for women is probably going to be my newest passion.

"Can you imagine waking up from a coma having no idea you were pregnant and then your husband does a handstand?" 😂😂😂😂 epic

[lindsey]

I literally cried when she said her daughter is her best friend. My daughter was born 2 weeks ago and I’m struggling and not feeling connected to her. It’s good to hear someone who felt the same overcome that and makes me think I will too.

The genuine horror and concern on Mama Dr. Jones face during all of this just shows how much she really cares.

Pregnancy test! Pregnancy test! Pregnancy test!
Just like: Chest compressions! Chest compressions! Chest compressions!

I'm at the end of a long career as an orthopedic surgeon and I've always had the utmost respect for my OBGYN colleagues. I couldn't do what you do, and I really appreciate the empathy you show in your videos. You made a subscriber out of me!

I'm 8 weeks pregnant and went through a similar experience to this poor lady. I thought I was having a miscarriage but it was actually a subchorionic hematoma causing bleeding and cramping. I bled and cramped for 2 weeks releasing small clots until I released a clot as big as my hand, absolutely terrifying. Little one is looking great on the follow up scans now. Tough little cookie.

[princessbuttercup]

My cousin had this exact same thing including preeclampsia. She miscarried a twin without realizing she was still pregnant.

[naikahara]

Usually these episodes are made when the babies are still toddlers so it was nice seeing the daughter grown up and talking about how her mom being alive is a miracle to her.
Hopefully they all learned to trust doctors after what happened too

[mysticmaidensoaps]

This one made me teary eyed!! I had a c-section that I felt so I was NOT in the mood for “here’s your baby!”.
I didn’t see her until she was 4hrs old (tried to bleed to death on the table) and she had to stay in NICU due to me having an infection in my uterus (42hrs of active labor, not dilating and her being a 10.13lb 22.5” long baby 😂). I didn’t feel that all of a sudden “oh my baby!!!” I had bad depression afterwards (finally got help for it when she was 1). It took me MONTHS to finally feel that connection. I’m so glad to hear of another person going through that because I felt like the WORST person in the world. I had a scheduled c-sec with my son and it went perfectly and I saw him as soon as the cord was cut and there was that instant bond, tears and “that’s mine!”.
I’m SO glad she was okay and so is their daughter ❤️

My mom flatlined during c sections both with my sister in 1985, and with me in 1991 when she was 30. She had preeclampsia when she carried me and while in the operating room she flatlined and actually remembers my grandma who had passed in July telling her to go back because she had two girls to take care of. (I was born in dec- & she didn’t know what I was going to be during her pregnancy until my grandma told her then.) I was given her middle name as my name and it’s always made me feel close to her. I had my mom for 27 years and I hate that she passed but I know that I could have lost her when I was born.

[Geini]

I cried when mom embraced her adult daughter and said she is her best friend. 😭 so sweet!

[lizshoemaker]

This poor dad needs some PTSD therapy. He is obviously still dealing with trauma from this entire experience.

[Rachel-xghs]

The PBS show Poldark had a really interesting birth story. The character Elizabeth died delivering a baby after taking some medicine to cause her to go into early labor. I wonder if you might be interested in reacting to that. Season 4, episode 8.

[Alinasinging]

I really hope one day you’d do a video about getting pregnant while having depression/ taking meds. For example, I’m bipolar, I take lamotrigine and citalopram, but also I’ve always wanted to be a mom. I’ll be on meds probably all my life, but there are barely any publications talking about preparing/ carrying a pregnancy in that case. I know there are many women like me who don’t want to give up on their dream of being a mom just because they have that problem. Much love ♥️🖤

I had to have an emergency d&c due a miscarriage in November because I was hemorrhaging. Randomly after recovering when I was being discharged the doctor said I have a beautiful uterus which is the weirdest compliment I've ever had...
