@@YourMom-wl3tj and plenty of not! As a Midwife, unless there are complications at delivery, you're going to see us in many Countries. It's what we are expert at
Emma really didn't need be so annoyed at herself for failing the first time trying to get a blood sample. After two babies having blood taken dozens of times I can tell you experienced midwives have blown my veins until I'm black and blue more than once! ❤
I worked at a oral surgeon and the first surgery I saw I almost fainted. I remember feeling so shocked and also embarrassed. It's ok Emma, it happens to lots of people. :)
I think it’s really amazing that they are giving Emma the opportunity to experience everything as if she were a real Midwife Care Assistant in training. Also really neat that they taught her how to draw blood, although I’m a bit surprised that the first time she stuck a living person it was on an actual patient, rather than sticking the instructor to practice first after graduating from the fake dummy arm. Usually, people training to draw blood practice on each other several times before trying it on a patient, but perhaps that’s just in the US? I’m sure though that the first patient Emma stuck was made aware of the situation before consenting to Emma trying to do it for the first time on her. As someone who isn’t afraid of needles due to me being used to getting stuck on a regular basis due to my chronic illness, I wouldn’t mind someone like Emma practicing on me at all, though I probably wouldn’t be the best candidate due to my horrible veins. Regardless, I’m absolutely loving the idea of this show! Emma is so sweet and caring, and she seems perfect for this line of work! It certainly seems like she brings a spark of joy to all of the patients she encounters,
Most nurses or Phlebotomists don't tell the patient "Lovey, don't worry, you're my first human patient I'm going to draw blood from your arm. I was instructed to just draw the blood, not to tell the patient that it was my first ACTUAL day of drawing blood on them simply because you don't know if the patient is nervous etc. Most patients who are a "hard-stick" pretty much "know" this, and its a good thing to LISTEN to the patient and not act like you're a know-it-all. In the USA, yes when I was in college and studying to become an RN, we had "partners" that we practiced what we learned on each other. I actually brought my hubby into class on the 3rd or 4th day because he had awesome veins, and didn't mind all the students trying to do a blood draw on him. A couple of the student nurses in my class brought a friend or a relative who had shitty veins for us to try drawing blood from them. I also allowed anyone in my class to draw blood on me because my veins are horrible and sneaky....LOL Sometimes when one of the students attempted to draw blood on me, the vein would seem to give the student a hard time, which is something they all have to learn. Usually, when I have to have my blood drawn, I will be quiet while the Phlebotomist first attempts to draw my blood, and sometimes I don't say anything if they try the 2nd time either. We were taught that if you didn't get blood draw by the 3rd time to call someone else to do it. Sometimes it's just an off day, or the patient could be dehydrated somewhat as well. So, usually after the 2nd try, I'll explain to the Phlebotomist that I'm usually a hard-stick and then show them a couple of tricks to use when a patient is a difficult (hard) stick. In the end, the Phlebotomist gets their confidence back and learned something new (how to draw a patient with difficult veins, etc.) and of course, the new Phlebotomist is no longer discouraged, etc. Usually in class when learning how to draw blood the instructor will tell everyone that it's better to let the person "show" you or tell you how to draw their blood, simply because who better than the patient to inform the Phlebotomist when there's a reason why they are a difficult blood drae.
When Emma spoke about her mother's smell after working in the hospital.... If I close my eyes and concentrate I can remember the smell of my mother....her perfume, her scent... I miss her so much.
I think It's super sweet that hospitals make her think of her mother. If more ppl had that positive association with hospitals they'd be less terrified. I know I would be 😅
Here in the US, this old RN learned how to draw blood on my little old raisins. With small, dried up, damaged, veins. I have never had a problem since but don't recommend that particular method of teaching. So happy to see you doing this.
Ooof can you imagine how the poor mother must have felt with a tear so severe that it causes someone to faint at the sight of it 😢 women are amazing and resilient
This is such a good show. I can hardly wait for the next episode. Congrats to all the Mums & Dads and thanks to all the Midwives, Doctors, Nurses, Aides and to Emma who is so delightful to watch. She wears all of her emotions on her sleeve. I just love it! If I could do something like this, I absolutely would jump at the chance. Wishing everyone involved with this show, a very Merry Christmas from the USA
I am enjoying this series. I have birth to my 4 children who are now 41, 39, 38 and 34, my first born in a hospital, the next 2 born at a free standing birth center and my last, born at home with 2 lay midwives. There was no comparison. My only daughters home birth was outstanding. It is an experiance I will always remember in glowing terms. My midwives were well versed, and compassionate. Hospitals were not open to new/old skills in managing the birth of a families child. My daughter is expecting my 10th grandbaby in March 2020. The baby, a girl, will be born in the hospital. I respect that as my daughters first baby will be 16 when her sister is born, and my daughter will be 35. A hospital setting is her choice, and I respect that. I am invited to the birth as I was to the birth of my first grand daughter 16 years ago. I was blessed to cut Kaylas umbilical cord. I am so looking forward to the birth. This will most likely be my last grandchild. This baby makes number 10!
Her coworkers should have offered to let Emma practice drawing blood on them first. I volunteered for all my new fellow nurses, and it really helps take the pressure off when you’re handed an actual patient!
I remember when I gave birth to my baby I was more interested in my watching my belly shrink. Also, how awesome was that lady’s husband to be there for her when she went critical. Most people go to the baby at that point.
Did you catch the quick puff of air the nurse blew at the baby to get her to breathe? The husband had asked if she was okay..she wasn't breathing until the puff.
Not sure why the narrator is trying to make things more dramatic with some of the situations. The lady who had the low lying placenta wasn’t having an emergency C-section because she had been in the hospital for 5 weeks and they decided to schedule her for a C-section the day after she had the biggest bleed up until that point in her pregnancy. An emergency C-section happens within minutes of the decision that baby’s life or the mother’s life is at risk and baby is usually delivered within 10 minutes after the mother enters the operating room. They don’t fuss around with giving an epidural. If the mother doesn’t already have an epidural in place she will be put under general anesthesia because time is of the essence. You don’t have a mother about to have an emergency C-section standing around waiting to walk to the operating room. When I had my emergency C-section there were suddenly 15 people in my labor room seconds after the decision was made and I was whisked off to the operating room and my daughter was born 10 minutes later.
My mom became an auxiliary nurse, then she worked as an MOA for years the she did risk management for a district of 10 hospitals. Her nursing background really helped her in Risk Management as she knew medical terminology etc.
What is that on the midwifes head i keep looking at it and i cannot figure it out ! Emma is untainted in the medical field i sure hope she is able to keep her beautiful personality for the duration ....she is better at this than she realizes 💜💙💜💙💜💙💜💙💜💙💜💙💜
It is a tattoo. I'm thinking she has alopecia or something like that... If you look you can also see that her eyebrows are tattoos and her lashes are fake.
I think she suffers with alopecia and has lost most of her hair on her head, eyebrows, eyelashes and probably most of her body. Because she works in the hospital and in the operating room hospital protocols may not allow the staff to wear wigs and hair pieces in sterile areas. It looks like she had her scalp and eyebrows tattooed on. If she has eyelashes they are probably fake ones that get glued on if the hospital allows that. Whoever did the tattoo job wasn’t very good because she looks like she has a strange black skullcap on which is unfortunate.
At least they asked Bea before they just let Emma do with the blood, because here in the US, at the hospital, they let the new guy take my blood and when I turned and looked the bed was soaked in my blood because he did something really wrong. It actually caused me to get a small cyst in the spot where he stuck the needle that I had to go to the dermatologist about
They need a hand simulator where the veins roll like mine do... I have multiple sclerosis and because of my medication and as much blood as I've had taken I have scar tissue and my veins roll or blow out they need simulators for cases like that😊
With my last baby, 4 years ago i also had the liw lying placenta and a partial placenta abruption. It was very scary to be pregnant and bleed a lot. In and out of the hospital. To be quiet honest i was terrified my baby wouldn't survive, the first bleed at 19 weeks was so heavy they nearly had to perform an abortion to save my life if i continued to hemorrhage. One of the worst feelings. By the Grace of God my son made it to 32 weeks and they delivered him early due to preterm labor and the bleeding 😢❤ just glad hes ok. I got my tubes tied after that.
Mid midwives are the best. My next door neighbor used one and where I come from they are used a lot if just to save money. But I would never use them for 1st birth but some do.
I'm so excited to work with neonatal icu nurses because when I was born I was 2lbs 3oz.I was born 2 months early and by c section.After my mom had me she was able to get over her sickness,and she finally got to touch me a 2 weeks old.and I was able to come home mid November.Sadly I had some bad respiratory. issues and I went back to the hospital.I finally got to go ho e acter getting over RSV on December 23,the day I would have gone home if I made it to my due date.To this day im completley healthy and play 3 sports,track,cross country and softball.I want to become a neonatal nurse to treat the patients right so no baby's get sick from the nurses like I did.Alot of the nurses did come in sick ,and I was born in October so right in the middle of flu season.
Thank you for clarifying that! I have been trying to figure out her name and what kind of hair style she has. I do agree the back is too much! But kudos to her for rocking it!
Oh dear Emma, first time seeing some of these things will shock you. - I melted when the doctor clipped my sons tongue( my son had a tongue tie) and normally I am strong with the sight of blood.
I'm from the U.S. where I had my 2 children 27+ yrs ago. I like the laid back style although I do agree w/your comment. That one nurse just amazed me how calm she stayed. I'm getting ready for my 3rd grandchild so doing some research💕✌
What gets me is some are touching their faces and mouths....I realized this was made in 2019 but no mask no gloves and touching their faces! Seriously.....com'on Brits 🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔
I have not looked at the entire video. I just fast forwarded through it . But from what it seems to me, this video presents childbirth as a wonderful occasion in which mothers who give birth want their baby or babies and have the means to care for them.: They seem to have a home and oftentimes a husband and they are in basic good health and are educated are able to afford a hospital birth and/or are able to afford a midwife or whatever and seem to have lived a normal life within the margins of society. I have heard that in certain inner city emergency rooms or hospitals there are homeless women who are pregnant and are on drugs or are alcoholic or mentally ill and they give birth to babies with fetal alcohol syndrome or who are born addicted or who are AIDS babies or who have defects and disabilities ( etc) and the mothers often don't want their children even though they might have already had more than one unplanned child and if they do want their child, they really are not fit to care for a child while homeless or jobless or addicted and in a n abusive dysfunctional relationship with the baby's father or supposed father or some other boyfriend. Maybe someone ought to make a documentary or film about how certain nurses and medical personnel and social workers deal with such pregnancies and births
I have had 2 C-sections and I'm going to have anymore children but if God Blessed me again and Blessed me financially too I would have another C-Section 🤰🤱
I'm( NOT ) going to have No More Children. I'm disabled and my daughter was a surprise blessing because I went off my MS medication I was blessed a year later. My 2 children are 13 years apart 🙆♀️🤷♀️
Bless you. My father had MS but his was the most progressive type, so he was severely disabled for years as a result . I hope you're coping with yours well and can still enjoy life the best you can.
Poor Emma...she probably imagined her being torn like that...or maybe imagined the pain the woman would feel being sewn up. Either way...not unusual. It takes time to grow used to the visual.
The GOOD news is there are these things called drugs. The woman was most likely under a general, and at the very least, a hefty dose of a local. I can imagine it was a visual thing.
oh my god didn’t realize what mothers went through Karen! Just wanted to say sorry on behalf of me and your kid ❤️ we don’t deserve Moms they’re the real MVPs 😭❤️
There is never a valid reason to "blow veins." No valid reason at all. A patient is nervous enough without having to worry about the pain that might be caused by such a routine procedure. A pregnant woman is going through enough stress without having her veins blown. If a nurse or a midwife does not get it on the first try then he or she should call on a next-level nurse to take over. Something so routine such as having blood taken should never turn into a nightmare.
@@bethb7965 it's not semantics, they're two different things. An emergency c-section is done when the mother of baby's life are in imminent danger, such as a cord prolapse, and delivery needs to happen within the next few minutes to save their life. An urgent c-section is done for things such as preeclampsia and there is time to spare.
ok so weird question, do the dads not get to cut the cords there? just wondering haven't seen any do that, here in the U.S. they get to unless it's a c-section
I'd think it would depend on what the parents want as well. Maybe this isn't a thing in the UK. They use "gas and air", which we don't see here. They don't routine circumcision either.
I couldn't look away from it long enough to pay attention to anything else. Everyone is free to do their hair the way they want to but that was hard to look at. Not being mean , I just think she could have done better with the amount of hair she has.
This is a wake up call to those who want to birth babies at home with just a regular midwife. How do we know what can happen, even someone in great health can have something happen and then the bleeding starts and the abulance is trying to get there, as the mother is bleeding profusely. I really feel a woman is better off in a facility like this that has an emergency crew that can come forth. I was very satisfied watching the woman in charge. Felt bad for dad. And I remember feeling so nauseous at times, but as soon as I got the block when the doc gave me that in my spine, I could actually focus. My daughters friend had a baby recently, everything went great until suddenly the same thing happened she started to bleed like this, her life was saved but it was terrifying for them. And this woman was 28 and at no risk.
My first baby was born in a hospital in 1977. I was handled very roughly. I asked for them to not strap my arms to the table. NO! We don't want you to touch the sterile field. I had my water broken withought them telling me they were going to do it. My son was in posterior lie, that is looking UP instead of down. He flipped him over and when he turned again, he was shoved back inside me and they used forceps to drag him out because he was Now in distress. I had a huge episiatomy. If that wasn't bad enough, they put me in a room with a woman who was having a miscarriage!!! It's no wonder why I had my next 3 babies outside of a hospital setting. Oh, I was considered "high risk" after that. Midwives would never take on someone who is HIGH RISK, and in my case, one as not high risk. I was told that my pelvis was more Android and I would have to have c-sec's if I had more children. My son was 8-3. My second son was 8-4. My third son was 9-11!!!!! My last and only daughter was 7-11. I was determined to be high risk by the doctor group practice with no basis other than my son being in posterior lie, nothing more. At least now days birth has become more family orientated. You can thank woman like me who taught the medical field we are humans, and we don't want to be a round peg in a square hole.
@@pinkythechihuahua3156 O that is so awful, so sorry, I think hospitals are doing better now, although just 5 years ago, not impressed w/ my daughters doctor at all
Uhhh fetal mortality rate is high in the States and even higher for women of color. Hospitals kill babies and mothers too. Stuff can happen anywhere people been birthing babies at home all over the world. Western medicine isn’t always best. Drs push unnecessary procedures because they have no time and empathy and don’t listen to mothers. I lost a friend from post partum hemorrhage after saying she didn’t feel well after a csection she was forced to do because her labor wasn’t going fast enough for the Dr.
That's called, major hair loss so she appears to have painted her scalp with cosmetics to look like hair. I think a wig would be a better choice, but perhaps she can't wear one in hospital?
Why don't they practice taking blood from one another rather than inflicing pain and anxiety on the patient? Blood should only be taken by experienced personal not by someone in training. The patient is already in a stressful state. More should not ever be added to the existing stress.
I watched a good friend of mine give birth tobher 11lb baby girl in 2009. She tore from her vagina to her bum hole. It was 2 tears kinds like the letter "Y". Baby came out (after 7 hours of pushing) And I watched them stitch up her tears.... inner and outer. Dr said around 117 stitches.
Es ist gut das frauen heutzutage etwas bekommen können um nicht solche schmerzen zu haben ..was früher nicht möglich war ..ich hab zwillinge und und das erste kind ohne schmerzmittel zur welt gebracht ....
How in the donkeys butt, do you tell a woman not to scream, while she is delivering a baby, especially when the head is crowning. That woman needs someone to talk to her about that she's paying you to work for her. All the other woman screamed and nothing was said to them.😢😢😢
I'm not trying to be rude I'm just genuinely curious to what is going on with Nagma's hair? Is it gelled down or a cap or something? This sounds so rude I'm really not trying to be rude I'm just actually wondering if anybody knows
I have a question. I am going to school for nursing. I want to deliver babies. However I’ve been suggested by other healthcare professionals that area isn’t the smartest to go to..... like not safe? Nurses have to watch themselves in that area more strictly?? Opinions??
Why isn’t everyone in the operating room wearing a mask?? That mother has been in the hospital for weeks because they knew that she might need to be delivered quickly and no one thought to give her the steroid shots to help mature the baby’s lungs??!!
Meiralora Duncan Totally agree about the masks, but when it comes to the steroid shot, we only saw a *very* small clip (only about 10 minutes tops vs to the 5 long weeks she was there) of this patient’s hospital stay, so we really can’t make any accurate assumptions or judgments about what they did or did not do, as we simply do not have that information available to us. I’d be really surprised if a steroid shot wasn’t given. Just because we didn’t see it or hear about it doesn’t mean it didn’t happen. Even when the shot is given, babies can still have underdeveloped lungs and need help breathing after birth. Thankfully this baby boy seemed to be doing miraculously well after birth, with only minimal temporary intervention.
Brittany Thank you I understand what you’re saying and I agree. However I wasn’t judging more asking. Generally shows like this one will mention giving a mother at risk for preterm labor and delivery the shots and explain why it is needed. They were blessed that the baby recovered quickly and didn’t need much help. My concern was based on what my sister went through during her pregnancy with twins after she was hospitalized over 2.5 months early because she went into early labor. Thankfully they stopped it and babies didn’t come out until 32 weeks and they still had breathing issues.
Why UK women are allowed to suffer when delivering their babies is criminal. "Gas and Air"? Really? Not that effective. Vaginal tears "common"? Also the result of letting nurses deliver babies. Tears happen in the mistaken belief that sewing up jagged skin is more acceptable than a simple straight cut allowing a bit more room for the baby. I'll take U.S. deliveries every time. Epidurals are heavenly.
Actually vaginal tears are much better than episiotomies in terms of healing and not having same lace tear for future deliveries. UK women can have epdurals but since they involve risks that can lead to C section they encourage them to not go that route. CNM attended births have very good outcomes in the US. They are wonderful!
The epidural is an option there, birth pain is not generally feared in the UK like in the US. And the air & gas does help some with the pain, but mainly helps with the breathing control. Percentage of complications rises with having an epidural. Being able to feel when to push makes a huge difference in delivery and whether or not the likelihood of tearing happens.
Cori Evett I lived and worked in the UK and US. There is definitely an unrealistic in the US that patients should be pain free. Part from the patients who are paying for this experience and don’t expect to be suffering through it, and part by the healthcare administrations who made pain the fifth vital sign and linked it to satisfaction scores and reimbursements and then created themselves an opiate epidemic!
Bea seems like the sweetest human being. So glad everyone was ok ❤️
I don't have kids, but midwives seem really amazing. Not as abrupt as doctors can often be.
I had my first 2 with doctors & my last 4 with the same midwife with each one & it's was such a better, relaxed experience

Because she works in the hospital and in the operating room hospital protocols may not allow the staff to wear wigs and hair pieces in sterile areas. It looks like she had her scalp and eyebrows tattooed on. If she has eyelashes they are probably fake ones that get glued on if the hospital allows that. Whoever did the tattoo job wasn’t very good because she looks like she has a strange black skullcap on which is unfortunate.
@@meiraloraduncan8953 .... Thats what i thought hmmmm interesting and yes they didnt do a very good job
@@kristimaret9677 .... I hadnt noticed her eyelashes and eyebrows but yep your right
At least they asked Bea before they just let Emma do with the blood, because here in the US, at the hospital, they let the new guy take my blood and when I turned and looked the bed was soaked in my blood because he did something really wrong. It actually caused me to get a small cyst in the spot where he stuck the needle that I had to go to the dermatologist about
Emma you're a gem!
This video gave me a newfound respect for women
They need a hand simulator where the veins roll like mine do... I have multiple sclerosis and because of my medication and as much blood as I've had taken I have scar tissue and my veins roll or blow out they need simulators for cases like that😊
They’re really putting this lady through the ringer!
With my last baby, 4 years ago i also had the liw lying placenta and a partial placenta abruption. It was very scary to be pregnant and bleed a lot. In and out of the hospital. To be quiet honest i was terrified my baby wouldn't survive, the first bleed at 19 weeks was so heavy they nearly had to perform an abortion to save my life if i continued to hemorrhage. One of the worst feelings. By the Grace of God my son made it to 32 weeks and they delivered him early due to preterm labor and the bleeding 😢❤ just glad hes ok. I got my tubes tied after that.
Just love watching Emma in these.
Emma , bless her heart. 💟☮️
Mid midwives are the best. My next door neighbor used one and where I come from they are used a lot if just to save money. But I would never use them for 1st birth but some do.
I love this show. Emma you are amazing! #USA
I thought they counted tools before closure?
I'm so excited to work with neonatal icu nurses because when I was born I was 2lbs 3oz.I was born 2 months early and by c section.After my mom had me she was able to get over her sickness,and she finally got to touch me a 2 weeks old.and I was able to come home mid November.Sadly I had some bad respiratory. issues and I went back to the hospital.I finally got to go ho e acter getting over RSV on December 23,the day I would have gone home if I made it to my due date.To this day im completley healthy and play 3 sports,track,cross country and softball.I want to become a neonatal nurse to treat the patients right so no baby's get sick from the nurses like I did.Alot of the nurses did come in sick ,and I was born in October so right in the middle of flu season.
birth is a fascinating aspect of life!! so awesome!!!
Nurse Naghmeh should just rock her tattooed hair alone without the extra fluff in the back.
Not your business
Eileen Mcdonald move on if you don’t like my opinion
@@lifeisbutadream9479 ooii
oh. that's what that was. I couldn't figure it out. I thought she pasted it down or something like that.
Thank you for clarifying that! I have been trying to figure out her name and what kind of hair style she has. I do agree the back is too much! But kudos to her for rocking it!
Oh dear Emma, first time seeing some of these things will shock you. - I melted when the doctor clipped my sons tongue( my son had a tongue tie) and normally I am strong with the sight of blood.
Emma you are so beautiful!
"can you pass out lying down?" yes Emma, you can, cause from experience it can happen, just is less dangerous cause you're not able to fall
I want to be a midwife! I love this vid
I love this series your channel rocks
That freaks me out that they don’t wear masks in the OR. Yikes!
The ER wait.....nvm I was wrong u did I right I am thinking of something else
Um, excuse me?!!? Where in GODS name are those surgeons MASKS??!!?
I'm from the U.S. where I had my 2 children 27+ yrs ago. I like the laid back style although I do agree w/your comment.
That one nurse just amazed me how calm she stayed. I'm getting ready for my 3rd grandchild so doing some research💕✌
What gets me is some are touching their faces and mouths....I realized this was made in 2019 but no mask no gloves and touching their faces! Seriously.....com'on Brits 🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔

I had my daughter at 32 weeks 🤰👼🤱
I have not looked at the entire video. I just fast forwarded through it . But from what it seems to me, this video presents childbirth as a wonderful occasion in which mothers who give birth want their baby or babies and have the means to care for them.: They seem to have a home and oftentimes a husband and they are in basic good health and are educated are able to afford a hospital birth and/or are able to afford a midwife or whatever and seem to have lived a normal life within the margins of society. I have heard that in certain inner city emergency rooms or hospitals there are homeless women who are pregnant and are on drugs or are alcoholic or mentally ill and they give birth to babies with fetal alcohol syndrome or who are born addicted or who are AIDS babies or who have defects and disabilities ( etc) and the mothers often don't want their children even though they might have already had more than one unplanned child and if they do want their child, they really are not fit to care for a child while homeless or jobless or addicted and in a n abusive dysfunctional relationship with the baby's father or supposed father or some other boyfriend. Maybe someone ought to make a documentary or film about how certain nurses and medical personnel and social workers deal with such pregnancies and births
I have had 2 C-sections and I'm going to have anymore children but if God Blessed me again and Blessed me financially too I would have another C-Section 🤰🤱
I'm( NOT ) going to have No More Children. I'm disabled and my daughter was a surprise blessing because I went off my MS medication I was blessed a year later. My 2 children are 13 years apart 🙆♀️🤷♀️
Ive had 2 C-Sections. Just had one on Jan 5th. Its totally worth it♡.
Bless you. My father had MS but his was the most progressive type, so he was severely disabled for years as a result . I hope you're coping with yours well and can still enjoy life the best you can.
Poor Emma...she probably imagined her being torn like that...or maybe imagined the pain the woman would feel being sewn up. Either way...not unusual. It takes time to grow used to the visual.
I had a medierlateral episiatomy with my first. Hurt like he'll.
The GOOD news is there are these things called drugs. The woman was most likely under a general, and at the very least, a hefty dose of a local. I can imagine it was a visual thing.
Karen Shepherd yea but the after words when It wears off. Just makes my whooo ha hurt. I bet it’s not fun with stitches. Meds don’t last forever
@@crohniequeenab after the long hours of pain with my first, I'm just glad my hoo hah didn't hurt. I tore and natural tears heal without much pain.
oh my god didn’t realize what mothers went through Karen! Just wanted to say sorry on behalf of me and your kid ❤️ we don’t deserve Moms they’re the real MVPs 😭❤️
Every country is different
There is never a valid reason to "blow veins." No valid reason at all. A patient is nervous enough without having to worry about the pain that might be caused by such a routine procedure. A pregnant woman is going through enough stress without having her veins blown. If a nurse or a midwife does not get it on the first try then he or she should call on a next-level nurse to take over. Something so routine such as having blood taken should never turn into a nightmare.
10:23 absolutely nothing to be ashamed of, it happens to the best of us😊
Their scrubs look like cleaning women outfits. They need a bit of US style scrubs. Scrubs should be fun.
I can make her screem with my veins they are so bad that when the nurses see my name they run
I like great JOB
It's an urgent c-section, not an emergency c-section.
Semantics
@@bethb7965 it's not semantics, they're two different things. An emergency c-section is done when the mother of baby's life are in imminent danger, such as a cord prolapse, and delivery needs to happen within the next few minutes to save their life. An urgent c-section is done for things such as preeclampsia and there is time to spare.
Eat rocks moron
@@eileenmcdonald3162 you have an old person name but you act like a teenager. I've seen your other comments
ok so weird question, do the dads not get to cut the cords there? just wondering haven't seen any do that, here in the U.S. they get to unless it's a c-section
I'd think it would depend on what the parents want as well. Maybe this isn't a thing in the UK. They use "gas and air", which we don't see here. They don't routine circumcision either.
@@eileenmcdonald3162 what?
They do
I’m a NICU RN from the US and don’t recognize what these ladies are blowing (or is it sucking ) on. What is that and what is it’s purpose? Thank you!
its gas and air. basically nitrous oxide. it’s slowly being used in states more.
somewhere over the rainbow... thank you!
It's a gas for pain medication
what is with Nagmeh's hair? I've never seen hair like that....plastered in some areas, fluffy in others.
I believe she had had her scalp tattooed-female pattern hair loss is real and thus is a nice way to cover.
I couldn't look away from it long enough to pay attention to anything else. Everyone is free to do their hair the way they want to but that was hard to look at. Not being mean , I just think she could have done better with the amount of hair she has.
I apologize. I've never seen a tattooed head...face yes. My apologies Nagmeh!
@@astrol64 You never seen a man with a tattooed head question work fo....all over Miami

Blood doesn’t bother me at all but I feel so bad for people that get nauseous around it :((( but one smell I hate is hospital smell 😂😂😂
Is it typical in the UK not to wear masks during surgery!?
How do you tell someone not to scream
by using your words
This is a wake up call to those who want to birth babies at home with just a regular midwife. How do we know what can happen, even someone in great health can have something happen and then the bleeding starts and the abulance is trying to get there, as the mother is bleeding profusely. I really feel a woman is better off in a facility like this that has an emergency crew that can come forth. I was very satisfied watching the woman in charge. Felt bad for dad. And I remember feeling so nauseous at times, but as soon as I got the block when the doc gave me that in my spine, I could actually focus. My daughters friend had a baby recently, everything went great until suddenly the same thing happened she started to bleed like this, her life was saved but it was terrifying for them. And this woman was 28 and at no risk.
My first baby was born in a hospital in 1977. I was handled very roughly. I asked for them to not strap my arms to the table. NO! We don't want you to touch the sterile field. I had my water broken withought them telling me they were going to do it. My son was in posterior lie, that is looking UP instead of down. He flipped him over and when he turned again, he was shoved back inside me and they used forceps to drag him out because he was Now in distress. I had a huge episiatomy. If that wasn't bad enough, they put me in a room with a woman who was having a miscarriage!!! It's no wonder why I had my next 3 babies outside of a hospital setting. Oh, I was considered "high risk" after that.
Midwives would never take on someone who is HIGH RISK, and in my case, one as not high risk. I was told that my pelvis was more Android and I would have to have c-sec's if I had more children. My son was 8-3. My second son was 8-4. My third son was 9-11!!!!!
My last and only daughter was 7-11. I was determined to be high risk by the doctor group practice with no basis other than my son being in posterior lie, nothing more.
At least now days birth has become more family orientated. You can thank woman like me who taught the medical field we are humans, and we don't want to be a round peg in a square hole.
@@pinkythechihuahua3156 O that is so awful, so sorry, I think hospitals are doing better now, although just 5 years ago, not impressed w/ my daughters doctor at all
Uhhh fetal mortality rate is high in the States and even higher for women of color. Hospitals kill babies and mothers too. Stuff can happen anywhere people been birthing babies at home all over the world. Western medicine isn’t always best. Drs push unnecessary procedures because they have no time and empathy and don’t listen to mothers. I lost a friend from post partum hemorrhage after saying she didn’t feel well after a csection she was forced to do because her labor wasn’t going fast enough for the Dr.
There is no such thing as just a regular midwife.
What are you babbling about
Wow.....just let the trained nurses draw the blood......
How else are they supposed to learn?
Wow how you think anyone learns?
Yes because the trained nurses were born knowing their skill set 😒
I always thought you learned that way early on- like common knowledge in school
TRAINED... God you're stupid. They have to TRAIN them to be a TRAINED nurse. You think they magically learn? They learn on site.
Please explain to me what on earth that hair style on the older midwife is called? 😂😂😂🤦🏻♀️
Thank you, I'm thinking the same thing! I'm so confused😳😳😳
That's called, major hair loss so she appears to have painted her scalp with cosmetics to look like hair. I think a wig would be a better choice, but perhaps she can't wear one in hospital?
Whew thank god im never having kids
Two days - I thought she fainted. ?
Why don't they practice taking blood from one another rather than inflicing pain and anxiety on the patient? Blood should only be taken by experienced personal not by someone in training. The patient is already in a stressful state. More should not ever be added to the existing stress.
I watched a good friend of mine give birth tobher 11lb baby girl in 2009. She tore from her vagina to her bum hole. It was 2 tears kinds like the letter "Y". Baby came out (after 7 hours of pushing) And I watched them stitch up her tears.... inner and outer. Dr said around 117 stitches.
Es ist gut das frauen heutzutage etwas bekommen können um nicht solche schmerzen zu haben ..was früher nicht möglich war ..ich hab zwillinge und und das erste kind ohne schmerzmittel zur welt gebracht ....
31:48 😱😭🤣🤣🤣 WHAT IS GOING ON HERE?!
Honestly, I need answers!!! 😭😭😭😭😭😥
What about it?
How in the donkeys butt, do you tell a woman not to scream, while she is delivering a baby, especially when the head is crowning. That woman needs someone to talk to her about that she's paying you to work for her. All the other woman screamed and nothing was said to them.😢😢😢
I THOUGHT THAT HER LAST ROUND WAS WEEKS AGO!
WHY IS THIS POPPING UP NOW?
HUH???
I'm not trying to be rude I'm just genuinely curious to what is going on with Nagma's hair? Is it gelled down or a cap or something? This sounds so rude I'm really not trying to be rude I'm just actually wondering if anybody knows
Been wondering the same myself but didn't want to be the one to ask😂 I just love her though!!!
Naghmeh has a condition called alopecia, which causes a person to lose their hair, either partially or fully
Ok ready for the next one!
congrats Amy and Oliver you have given birth to a beautiful cone head..
“Her hands look nice and juicy”
Why don’t the ladies get epidurals?
What are you babbling?
“Eileen“ your a troll, get out of here
Epidurals are more mainstream in the U.S
Because epidurals aren’t necessary and some of us women prefer no pain meds
600ml of blood... I lost 2 litres. It never seems thats scary when it is happening to you.
Does naghmeh have a tattoo on her head?? Honestly tho she seems really lovely
Elena Mae right she seems great that just 😂
Does anyone know what Nurse Megma (?) is doing with her hair? It’s unusual..
It looks like a tattoo?
I give birth in 9 weeks and im fucking nervous🤦♀️
I have a question. I am going to school for nursing. I want to deliver babies. However I’ve been suggested by other healthcare professionals that area isn’t the smartest to go to..... like not safe? Nurses have to watch themselves in that area more strictly??
Opinions??
What is your Motivation for becoming a Nurse delivering Babies? This should be your first question explored thoroughy and deeply.
Why isn’t everyone in the operating room wearing a mask?? That mother has been in the hospital for weeks because they knew that she might need to be delivered quickly and no one thought to give her the steroid shots to help mature the baby’s lungs??!!
I agree - very odd!
Meiralora Duncan Totally agree about the masks, but when it comes to the steroid shot, we only saw a *very* small clip (only about 10 minutes tops vs to the 5 long weeks she was there) of this patient’s hospital stay, so we really can’t make any accurate assumptions or judgments about what they did or did not do, as we simply do not have that information available to us. I’d be really surprised if a steroid shot wasn’t given. Just because we didn’t see it or hear about it doesn’t mean it didn’t happen. Even when the shot is given, babies can still have underdeveloped lungs and need help breathing after birth. Thankfully this baby boy seemed to be doing miraculously well after birth, with only minimal temporary intervention.
Brittany Thank you I understand what you’re saying and I agree. However I wasn’t judging more asking. Generally shows like this one will mention giving a mother at risk for preterm labor and delivery the shots and explain why it is needed. They were blessed that the baby recovered quickly and didn’t need much help. My concern was based on what my sister went through during her pregnancy with twins after she was hospitalized over 2.5 months early because she went into early labor. Thankfully they stopped it and babies didn’t come out until 32 weeks and they still had breathing issues.
Emma is not cut out for this type of job.
My niece is super at getting bloods. She got me first try,
Turk is a hottie 🥵🔥
I'm sure his wife agrees 😉
So weird
What the hell is wrong with that nurses hair?
Witch one? 😂
I hope someone answers this..
It looks like she was loosing her hair so she had it tattooed on
Why am I not seeing the weird hair everyone is talking about? Will someone time stamp? Ahhh 32 mins
This lady means well, but I don't think she's nurse material getting all squeamish like that.
i have been stabbed by professionals that couldnt do it ....... then next time its easy peasy so go figure it
Why UK women are allowed to suffer when delivering their babies is criminal. "Gas and Air"? Really? Not that effective. Vaginal tears "common"? Also the result of letting nurses deliver babies. Tears happen in the mistaken belief that sewing up jagged skin is more acceptable than a simple straight cut allowing a bit more room for the baby.
I'll take U.S. deliveries every time. Epidurals are heavenly.
Gail Jiles yegg Yet the USA have the highest maternal mortality of any developed country and significantly higher infant mortality than the UK.
Actually vaginal tears are much better than episiotomies in terms of healing and not having same lace tear for future deliveries. UK women can have epdurals but since they involve risks that can lead to C section they encourage them to not go that route. CNM attended births have very good outcomes in the US. They are wonderful!
Gail Jiles The gas is an *ADDITIONAL* choice of pain control that is offered as well as epidurals, etc.
The epidural is an option there, birth pain is not generally feared in the UK like in the US. And the air & gas does help some with the pain, but mainly helps with the breathing control. Percentage of complications rises with having an epidural. Being able to feel when to push makes a huge difference in delivery and whether or not the likelihood of tearing happens.
Cori Evett I lived and worked in the UK and US. There is definitely an unrealistic in the US that patients should be pain free. Part from the patients who are paying for this experience and don’t expect to be suffering through it, and part by the healthcare administrations who made pain the fifth vital sign and linked it to satisfaction scores and reimbursements and then created themselves an opiate epidemic!
Shocked that no masks were worn by everyone
