He’s showing compassion to all the women robbed of the chance to go into birth naturally without good reason. Many doctors make these recommendations to make their lives easy. It’s not okay. Giving birth naturally is so empowering and a mom needs that kind of reassurance in her capabilities. Not to be put on her back, poked and prodded and made an exhibition at this sacred time. It’s really something to think about. Thank you.
Thank you so much for this video! I just had a similar situation, higher blood pressure, hospital ran the tests, diagnosed with gestational hypertension, no other symptoms, tests came out normal, the docs still really hard tried to convince the induction, while I’m on 37 week. It was so emotional stressful, to feel this fear instead of support. We did say no. God willing the baby will come once he ready without complications
Where I live, there is no choice but to have a giant team of resident doctors. Even now, at 36 weeks, and high risk, every appointment is like starting over with a new doctor. I never see the same doctor twice. I feel the need to correct and defend the doctors notes that are taken inaccurately at every appointment. My past 2 pregnancies I was induced at 37 weeks with no complications. I have been misdiagnosed with gestational diabetes, I have been sent to triage 4 TIMES for high blood pressures, and every time I am in the hospital I have ZERO high readings. I have been diagnosed with AMA, Gestational diabetes, polyhydramnios, anemia and a handful of other things, including a mental disorder? I was never evaluated for a mental disorder and that diagnoses really bothers me. I want to be induced again because I know my body can handle it and I want to be done with these yo yo doctors asap forever. Womens care in America is a broken system. We are all a number on a government chart. Most of the doctors dont even look at me when they speak to me. You are right, it is out of control, but its not just out of control with unnecessary inductions, the whole system is out of control.
I recently had my first OB appointment (8 weeks). They said I would have to be induced at 37 weeks due to chronic HTN, despite my BP being good at that visit and it having been well controlled on meds over 5 years now. They didnt even give me a choice and have only seen me once! Im 36 years old, so Im seeing a high risk OB. This video is very helpful and I will be advocating for myself at the next appt. Thank you!!
Omg I wish you were my doctor, You explain everythjng so immaculately and this video was so comforting like you're actually talking to me and calming the nerves and anxiety before birth.
I love this! Thank you for advocating for us!! I feel like so many Obgyns treat their patients like they are clueless to pregnancy and birth... When the majority of us have researched a ton and go into it knowing what we want, knowing what outcome we want. At least that's how it was for me.
My blood pressure was fairly high at my last visit and the nurse said I may have to go to labor and delivery to be evaluated. My doctor said since my blood pressure was usually on the higher side that she’s prescribe a medication that was safe while pregnant and just recommended monitoring. I’m thankful she didn’t rush me into delivering.
You are amazing!!!!! My BP reads well and one time it read high at 140/86 and the OB said next time if it reads high she’s sending me to L&D... @ 22 weeks!? All because of one high reading?! It’s always around 124/80 and she wouldn’t let me retake it...
I’m so thankful to find this. I feel like I am going through a similar situation. Thank you for opening my eyes. I’m glad I found your channel! Keep up the good work.
I'm glad to have found this video. I went to the doctor and it's my first baby. The doctor is pushing us to have an induction at 37 weeks. I started finding all these videos now. I asked the doctor if we could wait until the 13th instead of the 10th, and she's like no. My blood pressure is good. I was raised because i went in for a uti one time. A few weeks later, i went and randomly had another one and all of a sudden they're like you have gestational hypertension and we have to induce. I didn't even get a chance to say no.
This is a great video. Thank you. I'm a 40 yrs old with a microadenoma, and high BP. 34wks & my doctor said I may have to deliver at 37 wks! But I feel fine.
God bless you! Your a great Dr. I am 33 weeks and my BP has been high my dr is monitoring me weekly and gave me a 24 hour urine kit to bring tomorrow. I am also 38 years old. So just praying that everything is ok and grateful for the right to say NO. 🙏 Debra
Hey how did it go ? Because I’m going thru the same thing and he said keep it below 140/90 but sometimes it goes a little bit up but I think it’s not a concern to rush to the e.r but I’m not sure
Update: thanks for your comments❤️❤️ everything went great - they put me on blood pressure meds and monitored it weekly .. I was induced at 35 weeks because it was getting high but the induction did not work and they let me leave the hospital to bring me back at 39 weeks to try again. I am pissed that my body went through so much when I should have just had a c section. But baby Mira is healthy and Is 5 months old now!! 😃 my blood pressure is back to normal ! I will keep you in my prayers Flowergirl nineteen!!! 🙏🙏
Wow I wish I would’ve seen this video 13 days ago. I went to get induced because of gestational hypertension and my body did not respond well at all. My cervix wouldn’t move past 5cm. I went in Thursday and had the baby Saturday. I was getting contractions every minute over a minute long. My baby’s heart rate kept dropping and I was so scared I would lose him so I went in for a c section. Something told me to wait it out but my dr said it was best to be induced so I listened to him. I kinda wish I didn’t but high blood pressure is scary especially while carrying.
Do you mind me asking, did you have high blood pressure before getting pregnant? If so was it a little bit high or high? I’m asking because I’m 35 years old and have prehypertension and am on medication now but I’m planning to start trying for my 1st baby asap and I’m scared 😕
So I am 37 yo and high risk pregnancy, they have replaced the term “advanced maternal age” with ELDERLY. I could not believe it. I would rather be labeled AMA than ELDERLY. 😤 how rude! I asked the dr about it and he said it’s because too many were complaining about the AMA label. He chuckled and said I’m the first to bring that up and that I’d have to take it up with someone who does the coding.... 🙄smh
Thank you for these videos! Eye opening! This happened with my friend in Toronto! She got induced and after 12 hours, they did a C-section at 38 weeks. Could you please talk about iron infusion and their levels in third trimester of pregnancy?
I liked this video and I love your more conservative approach. I'm 39 yo, and am 38 weeks along with my first baby. I had well-controlled high BP before getting pregnant, and since becoming pregnant, my systolic has been good, but sometimes my diastolic will go a high (mid 80's to rarely, low 90's). Labs are always good, and no preeclampsia symptoms. I check my BP twice a day at home, and see my OB twice a week for labs, BP check, and non-stress tests as well as the occasional ultrasound. OB still wants to induce me next week because of my age and history of high BP but I'd rather see if I go into labor on my own as long as all tests keep coming back normal. I think I know what you're going to say, but what are your thoughts on this? I'm worried if they try to induce me when my body isn't ready, that it will fail and I'll end up with a c-section (and I have a problem with delayed healing due to Ehlers-Danlos Syndrome.)
Listen to your intuition. I did and asked them to wait and went into labor naturally at 38 weeks. They gave me induction medications anyway during it and it made everything worse. Before it I could manage my labor pain uneducated. After I couldn't so I got the epidural, then the epidural slowed my contractions to non existence. After 31 hours of them not letting me sleep or eat I was too weak to say no to a cesarean. They would not stop pressuring me simply because they were impatient. I was almost completely dilated when they did it, I was just too weak and distraught to go on. Make sure you have an advocate with you, because they get so pushy you begging to forget what you want and what is right. My cesarean went well but the healing After is torture, and now in my second pregnancy I am dealing with pain from the scar tissue tearing. Stay strong momma
All 3 of my births were by induction and all vaginal delivery. I’m pregnant now with my 4th and I want to be induced. It’s easier because I know what to expect and able to plan everything by knowing in advance exactly when I’ll be in labor.
once you've done one vaginally you're more likely to do it again. He's also talking about statistics, there is no one size fits all. It's just that the likelihood of a c-section increases with being induced (especially if it is the first vaginal delivery). It doesn't mean that it'll for sure happen. For people on their first pregnancy hoping to avoid a c-section it makes the most sense to avoid an induction if possible
It’s cool to have the power to say no but this could be deadly to mom and baby if we just keep baby in there. I’ve heard about women that had a stillbirth because they had hbp at 35 weeks. Too scary.
I had one pretty high BP reading my entire pregnancy and my OB scared the shit out of me talking about induction in the next few days. i was 34 weeks. i went to the ER for monitoring and pre-eclampsia screening and they found nothing and in fact my blood pressure was perfectly normal at the ER. So the follow up NST my doctor has me do My blood pressure was normal in the 120's over 80's and said my tests all came back normal so no PC BUT they want to still induce me at 37 weeks and have me monitored twice a week until... here's the kicker..THEY DECIDE TO DELIVER ME. their exact words where "until we decide to deliver you." That left a bad taste in my mouth and while ik high BP is a fair concern, i just felt that was over kill. So meanwhile, i'm getting NST twice a week, feeling SUPER anxious about even seeing my doctors with that mentality and while my BP hasn't been the PERFECT 120/80 at my NST it's been in the 130's and they can't "diagnose me with hypertension" yet "we still believe we should schedule an induction at 37 weeks." My BP isn't even reaching past or near 140/90 which is what they told me they consider elevated, even at my at home BP readings which they have me doing everyday. I am just... idk this video came at a great time for me and my situation and now i'm even more concerned they told me 37 weeks and not 38-39. if that was the case i wouldn't be as scared tbh but they are talking if i have another spike like i did before they will "induce me that day" and i'm currently only 35 weeks. while ik baby is likely to be fine hopefully...it's scary tbh. and NOT ONE DOCTOR HAS REASSURED ME OF ANYTHING. not that baby will be fine, not that we might NOT have to induce, that maybe i'm fine. like nothing. they simply do not care.
A reading over 120/80 is elevated. 140/90 is dangerous. The fear is lack of proper blood flow to your baby. That's why they induce. Also because elevated blood pressure can lead to preeclampsia, and can lead there in a couple days, even hours, as it did with me. Went to my appointment on a Wednesday, in the hospital Thursday and was induced Friday. It can happen so quickly. Your doctors know what they are doing and wanting your baby and you to stay safe.
Last week I was sent to hospital for high blood pressure 135 at 37 weeks and i was swnt homw. This week My blood pressure was 132 at 38 weeks and my doctor is saying that they want me to schedule to be induced...
Thank you came across this today was totally upset i just came from my dr appt baby was perfect no signs of preclampsia BP 128 over 90 and they said they're going to schedule me for an induction at 37 ..like what??oh and I just turned 40 so of course I'm ama😒 but I'm only 21 weeks how will you even know that's called for..Definitely gave me the vibe of one size fits all!!!
last week im 36weeks then my blood pressure was 160/100 and they say i need to be admitted but i say no cause i don't have any symptoms and they said that i need to sign in that paper that anything happen in me is not there fault i signed it and now im 37 weeks and my blood pressure is 147/100. tomorrow i have an appointment for ultrasound and on Wednesday i need to go back in hospital to see my ultrasound result.i hope my blood pressure will be ok or normal.
My doctor is giving me the shots to prepare me for preterm induction im 32 weeks they are planning my induction for 37 weeks but preparing for the possibility of inducing earlier
what about preeclampsia? my wife has no other symptom like headache, blurry vision or epigastric pain. but she has edema on face and eyes and other body parts and blood pressure remains 140 to 90 most of time but sometimes goes to 150 and occasionally to 160. baby is fine, shows normal Doppler indices. she has passed 38 week and now in 39th week. and doctors asking for c-secton. no baby dropping yet and Blood pressure seems to going up and maybe will go up further more. so i am opting to c-section as almost every doctor is suggesting me this. as there is no sign of baby dropping as well. protein in 24 hour urine is 254, creatinine ratio and albumin normal. blood cp normal as well. but she is on labetalol blood pressure control medication.
Hii doctor this video is so useful for me my blood is 145/75 twice at my regular checkup now they are saying you should go for induction but it’s only my bp I don’t have any other symptoms no pain no Heath issue all test ok but don’t know why doctor saying that well thank you for this video
U r right doc but wat about a patient who suffers from vaginismus n she can't handle physical exams...if she is examined maybe she wud stress n bp will rise ,so...
This is actually what is happening to me baby is breeched scheduled c section at 39 weeks went to hospital for non stress test had high blood pressure at 140/90 first time with it and they told me I had to push up my c section to 37 weeks that is 4 days away I don’t really understand why no one explained it to me 😳
@@janjoy9759 hi I had to have a c section at 37 weeks he was healthy the next day my blood pressure went really high had to be put on iv medicine that was the worst I couldn’t do anything take care of him nothing they came every 3 hours to draw my blood that was rough I’m still taking medicine for it but everyone is different you will be fine don’t worry it’s not good for baby. Just relax god is good I pray 🙏 everything works out for you ♥️
@@anaalves6241 Amen. Thank you! So sorry to hear you struggled with HBP, after delivering. I hope you are better now and it's a thing of the past! Lord bless you abundantly. 🙏
Hello doc I’m at 38 weeks and my doc told me to keep it 140/90 but sometimes it goes up just by a few numbers on both top and bottom but I don’t think I should rush to e.r and just wait for my next appointment which is in two days what do you think.
I have been diagnosed with GH, but have had ranges between 140-186, with it consistently being in that range. I'm at 25 weeks and show no signs of preeclampsia (yet). Fingers crossed I won't come down with it. But the scenario you give is for someone who has BP in much lower range. Let's say that my pregnancy continues to 38 weeks without any signs of preeclampsia. Would you still give the same advice? Thanks so much!
@@kibihiraharriet9105 I reached 34 weeks and delivered naturally. My blood pressure was sky high at the time and they had me on magnesium intervenously. Fortunately my baby was born able to breathe on her own and the birth itself went smoothly. It was pretty harrowing because of my BP and not knowing what would happen, but it all worked out in the end. My daughter spent a week in the NICU since she had jaundice. But she is now 13 months old, and as healthy and happy as they come.
Miss E thanks very much for the quick reply ,pliz help me with the medicine you wea on so that i can discuss it with my OBGYN pliz if you don't mind were are given steroids for the baby's lungs
Hello, my name is Mariam and I am 33 weeks far along in my pregnancy. The Doctor says I have hypertension/high blood pressure and it was only high about 2 or 3x's when I went different appointments at those times. And they said and label it that I have hypertension. But I've been going to the emergency about two times a month for the past two months and my blood pressure is low it's good it's normal
There are different levels of severity and changes for everyone. For people who aren't on medication, it could take weeks. We watch patients closely for six weeks after delivery if they had hypertension.
He’s showing compassion to all the women robbed of the chance to go into birth naturally without good reason. Many doctors make these recommendations to make their lives easy. It’s not okay. Giving birth naturally is so empowering and a mom needs that kind of reassurance in her capabilities. Not to be put on her back, poked and prodded and made an exhibition at this sacred time. It’s really something to think about. Thank you.

I am preg with high blood pressure too
This is what my dr said. That he needs to induce me
U r right doc but wat about a patient who suffers from vaginismus n she can't handle physical exams...if she is examined maybe she wud stress n bp will rise ,so...
This is actually what is happening to me baby is breeched scheduled c section at 39 weeks went to hospital for non stress test had high blood pressure at 140/90 first time with it and they told me I had to push up my c section to 37 weeks that is 4 days away I don’t really understand why no one explained it to me 😳
Hiw did it go for you?
I'm at 34 weeks and have gestational hypertension. Dr is recommending induction at 37 weeks. I'm concerned
@@janjoy9759 hi I had to have a c section at 37 weeks he was healthy the next day my blood pressure went really high had to be put on iv medicine that was the worst I couldn’t do anything take care of him nothing they came every 3 hours to draw my blood that was rough I’m still taking medicine for it but everyone is different you will be fine don’t worry it’s not good for baby. Just relax god is good I pray 🙏 everything works out for you ♥️
@@anaalves6241 Amen. Thank you! So sorry to hear you struggled with HBP, after delivering. I hope you are better now and it's a thing of the past! Lord bless you abundantly. 🙏
Hello doc I’m at 38 weeks and my doc told me to keep it 140/90 but sometimes it goes up just by a few numbers on both top and bottom but I don’t think I should rush to e.r and just wait for my next appointment which is in two days what do you think.
I have been diagnosed with GH, but have had ranges between 140-186, with it consistently being in that range. I'm at 25 weeks and show no signs of preeclampsia (yet). Fingers crossed I won't come down with it. But the scenario you give is for someone who has BP in much lower range. Let's say that my pregnancy continues to 38 weeks without any signs of preeclampsia. Would you still give the same advice? Thanks so much!
Hi. What was your outcome?
Miss E did you reach 37weeks pliz tell me and what medicine were you on to control the blood pressure
Miss E pliz help me and answer my question becouse I am scared
@@kibihiraharriet9105 I reached 34 weeks and delivered naturally. My blood pressure was sky high at the time and they had me on magnesium intervenously. Fortunately my baby was born able to breathe on her own and the birth itself went smoothly. It was pretty harrowing because of my BP and not knowing what would happen, but it all worked out in the end. My daughter spent a week in the NICU since she had jaundice. But she is now 13 months old, and as healthy and happy as they come.
Miss E thanks very much for the quick reply ,pliz help me with the medicine you wea on so that i can discuss it with my OBGYN pliz if you don't mind were are given steroids for the baby's lungs
Hello, my name is Mariam and I am 33 weeks far along in my pregnancy. The Doctor says I have hypertension/high blood pressure and it was only high about 2 or 3x's when I went different appointments at those times. And they said and label it that I have hypertension. But I've been going to the emergency about two times a month for the past two months and my blood pressure is low it's good it's normal
The doctor says due to my hypertension he wants me to deliver and being labor at 37 weeks
What should I do?
Is this correct??
Please let me know doctor I've been watching your videos.
How long does it take to recover the pressure after delivery?
There are different levels of severity and changes for everyone. For people who aren't on medication, it could take weeks. We watch patients closely for six weeks after delivery if they had hypertension.
@@docanddoula if i take medication?
Blah blah blah... Listen to your doctors, not this guy. Some of us would die if we listened to this.
