1 00:00:08,039 --> 00:00:14,080 Speaker 1: Mother Knows Dad starring Nicole and Jemmy and Maria qk. 2 00:00:20,880 --> 00:00:21,079 Speaker 2: Hi. 3 00:00:21,160 --> 00:00:24,000 Speaker 1: Everyone welcome to Mother Knows. That today's episode is heavy 4 00:00:24,120 --> 00:00:26,439 Speaker 1: on women's health, and we're going to get started off 5 00:00:26,480 --> 00:00:29,080 Speaker 1: with a reality star who forgot she had a tampon 6 00:00:29,160 --> 00:00:33,240 Speaker 1: in for over a month, a death involving a home birth, 7 00:00:33,720 --> 00:00:36,120 Speaker 1: a mom catching her doctor in the parking lot of 8 00:00:36,159 --> 00:00:38,960 Speaker 1: the hospital running to get to her delivery on time, 9 00:00:39,720 --> 00:00:44,960 Speaker 1: a toilet berth, a man offering free semen and delivery 10 00:00:45,440 --> 00:00:48,559 Speaker 1: for women who are having a difficult time getting pregnant, 11 00:00:48,680 --> 00:00:52,920 Speaker 1: and another unpleasant side effect of ozembic. All that and 12 00:00:53,000 --> 00:00:57,560 Speaker 1: more on today's episode. Let's get started with this terrible 13 00:00:57,640 --> 00:00:58,560 Speaker 1: tampon story. 14 00:00:59,240 --> 00:01:02,080 Speaker 2: So Savannah Miller, who was on the seventh season of 15 00:01:02,120 --> 00:01:05,319 Speaker 2: the competition showed the Circle, recently shared that when she 16 00:01:05,400 --> 00:01:07,560 Speaker 2: was twenty two years old, she left a tampon in 17 00:01:07,640 --> 00:01:11,280 Speaker 2: for about a month, which quote smelled like a dead rat. 18 00:01:12,000 --> 00:01:18,520 Speaker 1: It's a very interesting description, actually, because we have a 19 00:01:18,800 --> 00:01:22,560 Speaker 1: post in the grosser Room called super Gross Absorbancy about 20 00:01:22,600 --> 00:01:26,000 Speaker 1: a case where a woman had had a tampon stuck 21 00:01:26,000 --> 00:01:30,560 Speaker 1: in her vagina for an extended period of time. I 22 00:01:30,680 --> 00:01:34,680 Speaker 1: recall one time in surgical pathology, we got a tampon 23 00:01:35,440 --> 00:01:38,840 Speaker 1: out of an elderly woman's vagina that was up there 24 00:01:38,920 --> 00:01:41,720 Speaker 1: for a very long time, and I recall it being 25 00:01:41,800 --> 00:01:44,720 Speaker 1: one of the worst smelling specimens that we ever got 26 00:01:44,760 --> 00:01:49,520 Speaker 1: in surgical pathology. Now, when I did this post in 27 00:01:49,560 --> 00:01:51,960 Speaker 1: the grosser Room a few years ago called super gross 28 00:01:52,000 --> 00:01:56,200 Speaker 1: absorbency about this particular case with a tampon, there's like 29 00:01:57,080 --> 00:02:02,040 Speaker 1: almost eighty comments underneath of this post that say it's 30 00:02:02,080 --> 00:02:05,440 Speaker 1: it's from medical professionals mostly, but even people that had 31 00:02:05,440 --> 00:02:09,520 Speaker 1: the experience personally, and a few people in those comments 32 00:02:09,560 --> 00:02:13,520 Speaker 1: described it as smelling like a dead rat. That is 33 00:02:13,919 --> 00:02:16,239 Speaker 1: why a dead rat specifically. 34 00:02:16,560 --> 00:02:19,160 Speaker 2: Well, one of our very first episodes of Mother Knows Death, 35 00:02:19,240 --> 00:02:23,400 Speaker 2: you talked about this with nurse Amy lockran too, Yeah, exactly, 36 00:02:23,440 --> 00:02:25,680 Speaker 2: explaining that was one of the worst things she's ever 37 00:02:25,720 --> 00:02:27,480 Speaker 2: smelled in her career as a nurse as well. 38 00:02:28,200 --> 00:02:30,760 Speaker 1: There's been a couple of specimens that I can recall 39 00:02:31,280 --> 00:02:33,360 Speaker 1: that I'm like, when we're in the grosser room and 40 00:02:33,400 --> 00:02:35,240 Speaker 1: we open this specimen and take it out of the 41 00:02:35,240 --> 00:02:38,359 Speaker 1: bag or the container, that we all have to leave 42 00:02:38,400 --> 00:02:42,080 Speaker 1: the room because it's so bad. Just by opening the 43 00:02:42,120 --> 00:02:45,200 Speaker 1: lid it's like out of control. It's happened a few times, 44 00:02:45,720 --> 00:02:48,960 Speaker 1: and that is one that I could specifically remember for sure, 45 00:02:49,160 --> 00:02:52,440 Speaker 1: and I'm sure anyone working in the emergency room as well. 46 00:02:53,320 --> 00:02:56,960 Speaker 2: Why why is like what makes it smell so bad 47 00:02:57,200 --> 00:03:00,120 Speaker 2: over time? Because like you guys have pulled out the 48 00:03:00,240 --> 00:03:02,480 Speaker 2: foreign objects from people that have been there in a while, 49 00:03:02,560 --> 00:03:05,240 Speaker 2: and I've never heard anything described as quite as a 50 00:03:05,240 --> 00:03:06,240 Speaker 2: horrible smell as this. 51 00:03:06,480 --> 00:03:11,080 Speaker 1: Well, because it has old blood. Blood smells in general, 52 00:03:11,160 --> 00:03:15,480 Speaker 1: old blood smells even worse. It's period blood that has 53 00:03:15,560 --> 00:03:17,920 Speaker 1: a certain kind of an odor, and it's just sitting 54 00:03:18,000 --> 00:03:24,240 Speaker 1: up there bacteria. It's just there's a low oxygen environment 55 00:03:24,400 --> 00:03:30,040 Speaker 1: up there. It's really it's really really disturbing. So this 56 00:03:30,080 --> 00:03:34,600 Speaker 1: particular case seems a bit unnecessary because I feel like 57 00:03:34,680 --> 00:03:38,000 Speaker 1: this girl knew. So what happened was this is and 58 00:03:38,040 --> 00:03:40,400 Speaker 1: this is what you hear all the time. It's somebody 59 00:03:40,440 --> 00:03:42,240 Speaker 1: that was on the end of their period. It might 60 00:03:42,240 --> 00:03:44,680 Speaker 1: have had like a day left. This girl was going 61 00:03:44,680 --> 00:03:46,240 Speaker 1: to a bar and she was like, let me put 62 00:03:46,280 --> 00:03:48,640 Speaker 1: on a tampon, so I just don't have anything leaking 63 00:03:48,640 --> 00:03:50,720 Speaker 1: out for like the last day. And then she forgot 64 00:03:50,760 --> 00:03:53,640 Speaker 1: about it, but she started noticing that she was having 65 00:03:53,720 --> 00:03:57,960 Speaker 1: like this really unusual smell and itching and and just 66 00:03:58,000 --> 00:04:01,080 Speaker 1: like something wasn't right, And she went to the doctor 67 00:04:02,160 --> 00:04:06,760 Speaker 1: several times and even was tested for STDs. So when 68 00:04:06,760 --> 00:04:08,720 Speaker 1: I hear that, I'm like, Okay, they had to have 69 00:04:08,760 --> 00:04:12,240 Speaker 1: done a pelvic exam, right, Yeah, they did three pelvic 70 00:04:12,280 --> 00:04:15,560 Speaker 1: exams before they figured this out, which I don't even 71 00:04:15,640 --> 00:04:16,880 Speaker 1: understand how that's possible. 72 00:04:17,400 --> 00:04:19,760 Speaker 2: See, this is worrisome for me because I have some 73 00:04:19,839 --> 00:04:23,520 Speaker 2: comfort during my yearly appointment that, like God forbid, anything 74 00:04:23,560 --> 00:04:25,400 Speaker 2: wrong was up there, they would see it when they 75 00:04:25,480 --> 00:04:29,320 Speaker 2: stick that medieval contraption and your vagina'd open you up, right, 76 00:04:29,400 --> 00:04:32,480 Speaker 2: But like, are they just can you not see the 77 00:04:32,520 --> 00:04:33,320 Speaker 2: whole cavity? 78 00:04:33,720 --> 00:04:38,200 Speaker 1: Well, I think that, I think that it's possible for 79 00:04:38,279 --> 00:04:41,039 Speaker 1: you to exam. I think in a normal examination, that's 80 00:04:41,080 --> 00:04:43,880 Speaker 1: not something that they would be looking for. Because what 81 00:04:44,000 --> 00:04:47,120 Speaker 1: happens is you have like your uterine cervix, which is 82 00:04:47,160 --> 00:04:50,720 Speaker 1: the opening to your uterus, right, but like surrounding that, 83 00:04:50,760 --> 00:04:54,880 Speaker 1: there's a little like a pocket up there that you 84 00:04:54,920 --> 00:04:58,480 Speaker 1: could see. So she put the tampon in, didn't realize 85 00:04:58,880 --> 00:05:01,320 Speaker 1: it was there for a month, got her period again, 86 00:05:02,320 --> 00:05:04,359 Speaker 1: and every time she put in a new tampon. She 87 00:05:04,440 --> 00:05:07,680 Speaker 1: was just jamming it up in that little pocket multiple times, 88 00:05:08,000 --> 00:05:10,800 Speaker 1: like it could get really pushed up in there. And 89 00:05:11,279 --> 00:05:15,120 Speaker 1: but when she comes with these specific symptoms, that shoo 90 00:05:15,200 --> 00:05:21,200 Speaker 1: key the gynecologists or whoever's performing the publvic exam to 91 00:05:21,200 --> 00:05:24,120 Speaker 1: to look for something like that, because it's pretty I 92 00:05:24,120 --> 00:05:26,119 Speaker 1: wouldn't say it's the most common thing in the world, 93 00:05:26,200 --> 00:05:30,200 Speaker 1: but there's many stories of this happening to people. So 94 00:05:30,800 --> 00:05:33,440 Speaker 1: the biggest risk is you could get toxic shock syndrome, 95 00:05:33,440 --> 00:05:37,360 Speaker 1: which is a bacterial infection with specific bacteria that releases 96 00:05:38,160 --> 00:05:41,479 Speaker 1: toxins that that could kill you. It could cause sepsis, 97 00:05:41,520 --> 00:05:43,800 Speaker 1: and it could actually cause you to die. She didn't 98 00:05:43,800 --> 00:05:46,560 Speaker 1: get sick like that from it, but it's just more 99 00:05:46,680 --> 00:05:49,040 Speaker 1: it's just more gross, I guess you would say, than 100 00:05:49,080 --> 00:05:51,960 Speaker 1: anything else. And luckily they were able to take it out. 101 00:05:52,000 --> 00:05:54,720 Speaker 1: But I mean, she herself was describing the smell as 102 00:05:54,760 --> 00:05:56,680 Speaker 1: being so bad that she was able to smell it 103 00:05:56,760 --> 00:05:59,839 Speaker 1: like while she was in class, and that's just could 104 00:05:59,839 --> 00:06:02,400 Speaker 1: be embarrassing to a woman too, So I think it's 105 00:06:02,480 --> 00:06:05,040 Speaker 1: kind of ridiculous that it took them three different pelvic 106 00:06:05,080 --> 00:06:06,720 Speaker 1: exams to figure this out. 107 00:06:06,920 --> 00:06:09,800 Speaker 2: Well, yeah, of course it's embarrassing, and then you must 108 00:06:10,040 --> 00:06:12,360 Speaker 2: have some mental like I would be like I've been 109 00:06:12,360 --> 00:06:16,000 Speaker 2: to the doctor three times, like what's going on? They're 110 00:06:16,040 --> 00:06:18,279 Speaker 2: clearly not seeing anything's wrong with me. So I feel 111 00:06:18,279 --> 00:06:20,800 Speaker 2: like part of it is a mental thing where you're like, 112 00:06:20,880 --> 00:06:22,280 Speaker 2: am I like making this up? 113 00:06:22,360 --> 00:06:23,400 Speaker 1: Or what is going on? 114 00:06:23,520 --> 00:06:26,200 Speaker 2: Because they're not finding anything wrong with me? And it's 115 00:06:26,200 --> 00:06:28,479 Speaker 2: disgusting and it can be really embarrassing. 116 00:06:28,960 --> 00:06:32,159 Speaker 1: Yeah, and especially when they did the STD testing and 117 00:06:32,200 --> 00:06:36,800 Speaker 1: nothing was there, like there's no there's no documented conditions 118 00:06:36,800 --> 00:06:41,440 Speaker 1: of like women just having some like foul putrid like 119 00:06:41,560 --> 00:06:45,120 Speaker 1: vaginal smell that doesn't have a cause, you know what 120 00:06:45,200 --> 00:06:47,840 Speaker 1: I mean. So it's like you shouldn't just be like, oh, 121 00:06:47,920 --> 00:06:51,640 Speaker 1: well everything's negative. So especially when it just comes on 122 00:06:51,760 --> 00:06:52,600 Speaker 1: really fast like. 123 00:06:52,600 --> 00:06:55,400 Speaker 2: That, Well, I guess in the sense it's like it's 124 00:06:55,480 --> 00:06:58,520 Speaker 2: lucky that she didn't get toxic chock syndrome or anything. Yeah, 125 00:06:58,560 --> 00:07:01,839 Speaker 2: it is, actually because she seems like she was pretty honest. 126 00:07:02,040 --> 00:07:05,160 Speaker 2: Like that's like so so rare too, like is here at. 127 00:07:05,160 --> 00:07:07,520 Speaker 1: Least for me? For me? 128 00:07:07,640 --> 00:07:09,720 Speaker 2: It makes it seem like it could just happen to 129 00:07:09,720 --> 00:07:12,480 Speaker 2: anybody at any time, Like if you if you leave 130 00:07:12,520 --> 00:07:15,480 Speaker 2: a tampon in for eight hours and ten minutes, like 131 00:07:15,600 --> 00:07:16,920 Speaker 2: you're at risk of getting it. 132 00:07:17,040 --> 00:07:20,240 Speaker 1: No, I need to look at the numbers. But like, honestly, 133 00:07:20,400 --> 00:07:24,320 Speaker 1: I think that it's it's it's. It definitely has happened, 134 00:07:25,120 --> 00:07:27,640 Speaker 1: and when it does happen, it's really bad. So they 135 00:07:27,720 --> 00:07:30,040 Speaker 1: just want to warn women that that's a possibility. But 136 00:07:30,080 --> 00:07:34,640 Speaker 1: I don't believe that it happens. Like it's like very rare. 137 00:07:34,800 --> 00:07:40,320 Speaker 1: Probably I would say minimal cases reported in comparison especially 138 00:07:40,360 --> 00:07:44,000 Speaker 1: to how many times women leave tampons and it's you 139 00:07:44,040 --> 00:07:46,760 Speaker 1: would think you would see more women getting getting it 140 00:07:46,800 --> 00:07:47,320 Speaker 1: and they don't. 141 00:07:48,320 --> 00:07:50,920 Speaker 2: Yeah, because I don't even sleep in them because I'm paranoix. 142 00:07:51,400 --> 00:07:55,560 Speaker 1: Jesus Christ, you are. You are like a special crazy 143 00:07:55,600 --> 00:07:56,440 Speaker 1: person for sure. 144 00:07:56,640 --> 00:07:58,840 Speaker 2: Well, I think you should pull back a little bit 145 00:07:58,840 --> 00:08:01,119 Speaker 2: and be like, why am I crazy person? It's probably 146 00:08:01,120 --> 00:08:03,920 Speaker 2: because I was overexposed to so many things I could 147 00:08:03,920 --> 00:08:05,920 Speaker 2: go wrong with the body at a young age, and 148 00:08:05,960 --> 00:08:09,760 Speaker 2: that's why I'm paranoid. So putting the blame on you, mother, 149 00:08:10,400 --> 00:08:12,760 Speaker 2: all right. Back in twenty twenty two, this forty one 150 00:08:12,800 --> 00:08:15,040 Speaker 2: year old woman was pregnant and claimed the pregnancy was 151 00:08:15,080 --> 00:08:17,920 Speaker 2: going smooth only visited the doctor once at eight months 152 00:08:17,960 --> 00:08:21,040 Speaker 2: pregnant to check for the baby's heartbeat, but declined further 153 00:08:21,160 --> 00:08:23,960 Speaker 2: exam and testing, which I'm pretty sure everybody would say 154 00:08:24,040 --> 00:08:27,200 Speaker 2: is an ill advised way to go about pregnancy. So 155 00:08:27,360 --> 00:08:29,720 Speaker 2: when it came time for the birth, the mother had 156 00:08:29,800 --> 00:08:33,400 Speaker 2: chosen free birth, which means you give birth without medical 157 00:08:33,480 --> 00:08:37,559 Speaker 2: or midwifery assistance. And for that free birth, she contacted 158 00:08:37,559 --> 00:08:40,760 Speaker 2: an influencer named Emily Lao who runs this Instagram account 159 00:08:40,800 --> 00:08:44,320 Speaker 2: called the Authentic Birthkeeper to rent a birthing pool.

I definitely noticed 298 00:15:48,720 --> 00:15:52,680 Speaker 2: that specialists have way nicer stuff, but obviously because they're 299 00:15:52,720 --> 00:15:55,320 Speaker 2: making way more money than a regular office. But if 300 00:15:55,320 --> 00:15:58,320 Speaker 2: you think about the doctor's offices, they're they're raking it in. 301 00:15:58,440 --> 00:15:59,400 Speaker 1: They could put a. 302 00:15:59,400 --> 00:16:01,400 Speaker 2: Little nice stuff in there, yeah, they could. 303 00:16:01,760 --> 00:16:05,560 Speaker 1: Anyway, we got anyway, off stuff anyway, getting back to 304 00:16:05,920 --> 00:16:09,320 Speaker 1: getting back to this. So where were we? 305 00:16:09,840 --> 00:16:11,880 Speaker 2: So I soa we were talking about the like a 306 00:16:11,920 --> 00:16:12,760 Speaker 2: birthing center. 307 00:16:12,960 --> 00:16:16,480 Speaker 1: That's how I think. So this is what happened. So 308 00:16:17,200 --> 00:16:21,560 Speaker 1: this lady was talking to this influencer, and first she 309 00:16:21,680 --> 00:16:24,840 Speaker 1: texts the woman and says, I did it. And then 310 00:16:24,920 --> 00:16:28,160 Speaker 1: she said she was unable to deliver the placenta until 311 00:16:28,280 --> 00:16:32,480 Speaker 1: the following morning, which is really bad, Like, get that 312 00:16:32,520 --> 00:16:34,640 Speaker 1: thing out as soon as you can. They would never 313 00:16:34,840 --> 00:16:38,240 Speaker 1: That's this is the thing, like if you ever do 314 00:16:38,320 --> 00:16:39,920 Speaker 1: a home birth, and this is why you should have 315 00:16:39,960 --> 00:16:43,680 Speaker 1: a midwife or someone there, because if the placenta didn't 316 00:16:43,680 --> 00:16:47,360 Speaker 1: deliver naturally within a certain amount of time, that nurse 317 00:16:47,480 --> 00:16:51,320 Speaker 1: practitioner or that midwife would send you to the hospital 318 00:16:51,320 --> 00:16:52,720 Speaker 1: and be like, you need to get this out of 319 00:16:52,760 --> 00:16:55,080 Speaker 1: you because you could get really sick just from that, 320 00:16:55,160 --> 00:16:57,320 Speaker 1: and you could have bleeding problems from that too, Like 321 00:16:57,400 --> 00:17:01,480 Speaker 1: that's nothing that could be ignored for hours. And then 322 00:17:01,560 --> 00:17:04,879 Speaker 1: the mom said that she noticed something wrong with the 323 00:17:04,920 --> 00:17:07,280 Speaker 1: baby and saying that she couldn't wake up the baby 324 00:17:07,320 --> 00:17:11,080 Speaker 1: and the baby appeared to be turning blue. So her 325 00:17:11,119 --> 00:17:14,520 Speaker 1: first thought was to message this influencer and be like, 326 00:17:14,680 --> 00:17:16,960 Speaker 1: this happened. I can't wake up the baby. What do 327 00:17:17,000 --> 00:17:19,879 Speaker 1: you think is happening? Like, is this like a weird 328 00:17:20,080 --> 00:17:23,960 Speaker 1: cult thing or something like, what's happening here? Listen? 329 00:17:24,320 --> 00:17:27,360 Speaker 2: This story is really weird. I do follow this one 330 00:17:27,440 --> 00:17:30,520 Speaker 2: influencer that has had a home birth. She documented the 331 00:17:30,520 --> 00:17:32,600 Speaker 2: whole thing. I watched the whole thing and everything, and 332 00:17:32,640 --> 00:17:35,560 Speaker 2: she I'm even I'm just thinking about her in particular 333 00:17:35,800 --> 00:17:39,160 Speaker 2: because she really liked the experience from what she's posted online. 334 00:17:39,480 --> 00:17:42,440 Speaker 2: But she certainly is always like, do your own thing. 335 00:17:42,560 --> 00:17:44,919 Speaker 2: This just happened to work for me, not giving advice. 336 00:17:45,400 --> 00:17:48,760 Speaker 2: This is weird because this particular pregnant woman contacted this 337 00:17:48,840 --> 00:17:53,520 Speaker 2: influencer and rented They're saying she rented this plastic birthing 338 00:17:53,560 --> 00:17:56,399 Speaker 2: pool from her and was in contact with her a 339 00:17:56,440 --> 00:18:00,160 Speaker 2: little bit. But then that influencer was saying she had 340 00:18:00,200 --> 00:18:02,159 Speaker 2: nothing to do with it. So it's kind of like, 341 00:18:02,320 --> 00:18:06,399 Speaker 2: what is going on in this particular story. The influencer 342 00:18:06,480 --> 00:18:09,280 Speaker 2: did not see this message for twenty five minutes, and 343 00:18:09,359 --> 00:18:11,399 Speaker 2: at that time, there was a FaceTime call and she 344 00:18:11,480 --> 00:18:14,440 Speaker 2: was like, you need to call an ambulance, Like obviously, 345 00:18:15,480 --> 00:18:18,360 Speaker 2: I don't know why we're looking at influencers for medical 346 00:18:18,400 --> 00:18:20,880 Speaker 2: advice instead I having a midwife there. 347 00:18:22,080 --> 00:18:25,160 Speaker 1: I know it is. It's very bizarre, Like I could 348 00:18:25,200 --> 00:18:28,920 Speaker 1: see that you could watch an influencer and be like, yeah, 349 00:18:28,960 --> 00:18:31,320 Speaker 1: I want to do that too, But like the second 350 00:18:31,359 --> 00:18:33,200 Speaker 1: you look at your baby and they look like they're 351 00:18:33,240 --> 00:18:36,840 Speaker 1: having a problem, why, Like, I just I don't trust 352 00:18:36,840 --> 00:18:42,239 Speaker 1: this woman at all. She's she's like she I don't know. 353 00:18:42,320 --> 00:18:46,040 Speaker 1: But anyway, so the baby goes to the hospital, babies 354 00:18:46,080 --> 00:18:48,960 Speaker 1: pronounced dead because I don't even I don't even really 355 00:18:49,040 --> 00:18:52,600 Speaker 1: know like what she thought was going to happen at 356 00:18:52,600 --> 00:18:55,520 Speaker 1: that point, after first responders came and brought the baby 357 00:18:55,560 --> 00:18:58,240 Speaker 1: to the hospital, like it's too late. So they do 358 00:18:58,320 --> 00:19:01,600 Speaker 1: the autopsy and they find like a weird bacteria in 359 00:19:01,720 --> 00:19:04,560 Speaker 1: the baby's ears and in the baby's lungs. And now 360 00:19:04,600 --> 00:19:07,880 Speaker 1: they're saying, like did this come from this pool that 361 00:19:08,040 --> 00:19:11,240 Speaker 1: she rented? Like where did this? Like that's another thing 362 00:19:11,240 --> 00:19:13,920 Speaker 1: that you need to take into consideration. And they said 363 00:19:13,920 --> 00:19:18,399 Speaker 1: that the problem was due to being underwater prolonged during birth. 364 00:19:20,520 --> 00:19:23,480 Speaker 2: I understand why people want to do this, I just 365 00:19:24,080 --> 00:19:26,000 Speaker 2: I don't know. I just feel like, if you don't 366 00:19:26,040 --> 00:19:28,280 Speaker 2: have any medical knowledge, and you're not going to have 367 00:19:28,320 --> 00:19:31,159 Speaker 2: a medical person there. It's just it should be ill advised. 368 00:19:31,200 --> 00:19:34,000 Speaker 2: And obviously for centuries people were having birth without people 369 00:19:34,200 --> 00:19:36,879 Speaker 2: by their side, right, Like exactly what you're saying. But 370 00:19:37,640 --> 00:19:40,040 Speaker 2: I think we're also living in a different society now 371 00:19:40,040 --> 00:19:43,800 Speaker 2: where we're not really like good at being survivors, do 372 00:19:43,800 --> 00:19:46,320 Speaker 2: you know what I'm trying to say, Like, yeah, exactly 373 00:19:46,760 --> 00:19:49,679 Speaker 2: in the sixteen hundreds, you were addicted to your phone 374 00:19:49,720 --> 00:19:52,000 Speaker 2: and you could get out of situations. I really don't 375 00:19:52,000 --> 00:19:53,600 Speaker 2: think a lot of people are like that today. 376 00:19:53,640 --> 00:19:56,639 Speaker 1: Even back then, like they're even if it wasn't like 377 00:19:56,680 --> 00:19:59,639 Speaker 1: a formal thing, there were always people in the village 378 00:19:59,720 --> 00:20:02,119 Speaker 1: or someth thing that had experience with this stuff that 379 00:20:02,280 --> 00:20:05,639 Speaker 1: was like, well, that would be present that would say like, 380 00:20:06,440 --> 00:20:09,800 Speaker 1: I mean, listen, clearly she's not all there because she 381 00:20:09,880 --> 00:20:12,080 Speaker 1: looked at her baby that looked like it was dying 382 00:20:12,240 --> 00:20:15,479 Speaker 1: and didn't have like this motherly instinct kicking to be 383 00:20:15,600 --> 00:20:17,920 Speaker 1: like shit, we have to go to the hospital right now. 384 00:20:17,960 --> 00:20:21,080 Speaker 1: Something's wrong. That to me alarms the shit out of me, honestly. 385 00:20:21,480 --> 00:20:23,199 Speaker 2: So there's a question I have for you. Because they 386 00:20:23,240 --> 00:20:26,240 Speaker 2: also said the umbilical cord was uncut. So like when 387 00:20:26,280 --> 00:20:30,040 Speaker 2: this child was born at nighttime and the plasait. 388 00:20:29,680 --> 00:20:32,360 Speaker 1: It was god so she so the placenta was still 389 00:20:32,400 --> 00:20:35,480 Speaker 1: inside the mom and it was attached to the so 390 00:20:35,560 --> 00:20:40,320 Speaker 1: she was holding a baby the entire time until because 391 00:20:40,359 --> 00:20:42,080 Speaker 1: she didn't pass it for all that time. 392 00:20:42,359 --> 00:20:46,040 Speaker 2: Yeah, that's what I was getting at because like I'm like, 393 00:20:46,119 --> 00:20:48,199 Speaker 2: I know that probably sounds like a dumb question, but 394 00:20:48,320 --> 00:20:50,960 Speaker 2: like if they're saying the placenta and the umbilical cord 395 00:20:51,000 --> 00:20:54,359 Speaker 2: were untouched and in between the baby being born at 396 00:20:54,440 --> 00:20:57,440 Speaker 2: nighttime and then realizing in the morning that something was wrong, 397 00:20:57,800 --> 00:21:00,040 Speaker 2: that means the mother was laying with the placenta in 398 00:21:00,080 --> 00:21:01,720 Speaker 2: side of her and it was still attached to the 399 00:21:01,800 --> 00:21:03,040 Speaker 2: child laying in her arms. 400 00:21:03,320 --> 00:21:05,439 Speaker 1: Yeah right, I mean, but the thing is is that 401 00:21:05,520 --> 00:21:08,320 Speaker 1: when the baby comes out and it's born, it's it 402 00:21:08,760 --> 00:21:11,919 Speaker 1: takes the natural system takes over that the baby starts 403 00:21:11,960 --> 00:21:14,560 Speaker 1: breathing on its own and needs to feed on its own. 404 00:21:15,080 --> 00:21:17,560 Speaker 1: So like that's why you could just cut that thing off, 405 00:21:17,560 --> 00:21:19,440 Speaker 1: because you don't need it anymore, you know what I mean, 406 00:21:19,520 --> 00:21:22,520 Speaker 1: Like it's trash, We're done with this, because there's a 407 00:21:22,560 --> 00:21:25,800 Speaker 1: certain like the placenta feeds the fetus. But as soon 408 00:21:25,840 --> 00:21:29,800 Speaker 1: as the fetus comes out, like it starts doing its 409 00:21:29,840 --> 00:21:33,000 Speaker 1: own thing. So it didn't have anything to do with that. 410 00:21:33,160 --> 00:21:35,119 Speaker 1: It just had to do with the fact that she 411 00:21:35,280 --> 00:21:38,879 Speaker 1: did this water berth and the baby was in the 412 00:21:38,960 --> 00:21:43,359 Speaker 1: water underwater obviously because this bacteria was in the lungs 413 00:21:43,400 --> 00:21:47,119 Speaker 1: like aspirated this dirty water, and that was part of 414 00:21:47,160 --> 00:21:49,760 Speaker 1: the reason that the baby died. And it was probably 415 00:21:49,800 --> 00:21:53,520 Speaker 1: a combination of like I mean, imagine throwing a newborn 416 00:21:53,560 --> 00:21:55,720 Speaker 1: baby in a swimming pool, even if they got out 417 00:21:55,760 --> 00:21:57,639 Speaker 1: at time, I mean, the kid was alive for some 418 00:21:57,760 --> 00:22:00,680 Speaker 1: period of time, but you know, you could you could 419 00:22:00,720 --> 00:22:05,000 Speaker 1: die post having an exposure like a dry drowning situation 420 00:22:05,160 --> 00:22:05,960 Speaker 1: or something like that. 421 00:22:06,560 --> 00:22:10,040 Speaker 2: So the influencer then after so I guess in this 422 00:22:10,760 --> 00:22:13,800 Speaker 2: inquest they have because it was in another country, so 423 00:22:14,080 --> 00:22:16,680 Speaker 2: they had found that the baby's death was most likely 424 00:22:16,720 --> 00:22:19,280 Speaker 2: preventable if the baby was born in a hospital setting. 425 00:22:19,560 --> 00:22:22,200 Speaker 2: So then the influencer had gone on to post after 426 00:22:22,240 --> 00:22:25,200 Speaker 2: that finding quote, I had nothing to do with the birth. 427 00:22:25,240 --> 00:22:27,720 Speaker 2: I wasn't at the birth, I wasn't involved in the birth. 428 00:22:27,760 --> 00:22:30,760 Speaker 2: I didn't convince her to have a free birth. I 429 00:22:30,920 --> 00:22:34,840 Speaker 2: understand that, but do you not hold some responsibility for 430 00:22:35,000 --> 00:22:39,440 Speaker 2: influencing the free birth lifestyle in addition to renting out 431 00:22:39,840 --> 00:22:42,080 Speaker 2: a tool that's used to perform the act. 432 00:22:42,280 --> 00:22:46,399 Speaker 1: Well, I thought she had an interesting comment which was quote, 433 00:22:46,440 --> 00:22:49,840 Speaker 1: it's devastating when a baby dies, regardless of where or 434 00:22:49,880 --> 00:22:53,000 Speaker 1: how However, the difference between how a mother is treated 435 00:22:53,040 --> 00:22:56,400 Speaker 1: when her baby dies in a sovereign birth at home 436 00:22:56,520 --> 00:22:58,560 Speaker 1: versus when the baby dies in the system, in a 437 00:22:58,600 --> 00:23:02,360 Speaker 1: hospital or at home with a midwife is so different 438 00:23:03,119 --> 00:23:05,960 Speaker 1: or so stark. I can't help but feel the entire 439 00:23:06,040 --> 00:23:08,920 Speaker 1: process has been used to stick to punish the mother 440 00:23:09,080 --> 00:23:11,199 Speaker 1: involved in the death that has been reported in the 441 00:23:11,240 --> 00:23:17,040 Speaker 1: media and anyone associated with her. So, I mean, I 442 00:23:17,040 --> 00:23:20,159 Speaker 1: guess what she's saying is like, if the mom was 443 00:23:20,200 --> 00:23:22,840 Speaker 1: in the hospital and the baby died, they would not 444 00:23:22,960 --> 00:23:25,000 Speaker 1: be attacking the mother, which is true. 445 00:23:25,480 --> 00:23:27,920 Speaker 2: But yeah, but the death would be responsible on the 446 00:23:27,960 --> 00:23:30,800 Speaker 2: medical professionals in the environment, and she chose not to 447 00:23:30,800 --> 00:23:33,800 Speaker 2: have medical professional Yeah exactly. Therefore she was the only 448 00:23:33,840 --> 00:23:35,400 Speaker 2: person involved in the child death. 449 00:23:35,600 --> 00:23:36,359 Speaker 1: Yeah exactly. 450 00:23:36,359 --> 00:23:38,600 Speaker 2: So like, yeah, I do, I do see that, but 451 00:23:38,720 --> 00:23:40,879 Speaker 2: like that's the basic facts of this case. 452 00:23:40,960 --> 00:23:45,040 Speaker 1: Yeah, Like, you didn't do anything to stop this from happening, 453 00:23:45,119 --> 00:23:47,200 Speaker 1: and in fact, when the autopsy says that the baby 454 00:23:47,359 --> 00:23:49,480 Speaker 1: likely would have survived if it was a hospital, then 455 00:23:49,880 --> 00:23:51,760 Speaker 1: then like you're it is your fault. Sorry. 456 00:23:52,160 --> 00:23:54,960 Speaker 2: I think the general message here is you should look 457 00:23:54,960 --> 00:23:57,359 Speaker 2: at people online and what they're sharing and understand that 458 00:23:57,359 --> 00:23:59,680 Speaker 2: that's their personal experience and you should not be taking 459 00:23:59,720 --> 00:24:12,040 Speaker 2: medical advice from the internet exactly. This episode is brought 460 00:24:12,040 --> 00:24:13,080 Speaker 2: to you by the Gross Room. 461 00:24:14,080 --> 00:24:17,600 Speaker 1: So we were talking earlier about women leaving tampons in 462 00:24:17,800 --> 00:24:20,440 Speaker 1: and you need to see these cases and read about them, 463 00:24:21,000 --> 00:24:22,760 Speaker 1: just do you know what, Just do yourself a favor 464 00:24:22,800 --> 00:24:25,560 Speaker 1: and search tampon in the gross room because you're gonna 465 00:24:25,600 --> 00:24:29,440 Speaker 1: see some pretty interesting cases.

It's 469 00:24:39,640 --> 00:24:43,800 Speaker 1: probably the craziest case of it I've I've ever seen. Honestly, 470 00:24:44,280 --> 00:24:49,439 Speaker 1: the surgery seems outrageous, but I don't know, Like I 471 00:24:49,480 --> 00:24:54,639 Speaker 1: can't I can't imagine that eating your hair. Really, it 472 00:24:54,680 --> 00:24:55,919 Speaker 1: doesn't digest and. 473 00:24:56,359 --> 00:24:59,480 Speaker 2: Some people are into it though, so you never know. Yeah, 474 00:24:59,520 --> 00:25:01,240 Speaker 2: the picture is absolutely crazy. 475 00:25:01,320 --> 00:25:03,680 Speaker 1: Yeah in that case though, So all that and more 476 00:25:03,720 --> 00:25:04,919 Speaker 1: in the Gross Room this week. 477 00:25:05,160 --> 00:25:07,080 Speaker 2: Yeah, head over to the Grossroom dot com now to 478 00:25:07,160 --> 00:25:07,640 Speaker 2: sign up. 479 00:25:09,160 --> 00:25:11,879 Speaker 1: All Right, the only reason I really added this story 480 00:25:12,040 --> 00:25:15,040 Speaker 1: is because I feel like something similar happened to me 481 00:25:15,080 --> 00:25:17,880 Speaker 1: when I was having Lucia. All right, So last month, 482 00:25:17,880 --> 00:25:20,160 Speaker 1: this woman was in labor and even though she showed 483 00:25:20,200 --> 00:25:23,120 Speaker 1: up five centimeters dilated, her doctor induced her to keep 484 00:25:23,119 --> 00:25:25,720 Speaker 1: things moving. So while that kicked in, he was like, 485 00:25:25,760 --> 00:25:28,159 Speaker 1: I'm gonna go back to my office meet with another patient. 486 00:25:28,200 --> 00:25:29,000 Speaker 1: I'll be right back. 487 00:25:29,400 --> 00:25:31,800 Speaker 2: So she got scared because she got to ten centimeters 488 00:25:31,800 --> 00:25:33,960 Speaker 2: and he wasn't there yet. But then a nurse said 489 00:25:34,000 --> 00:25:37,200 Speaker 2: look out the window and they saw him running across 490 00:25:37,240 --> 00:25:39,800 Speaker 2: the street to make the birth on time. 491 00:25:40,240 --> 00:25:41,320 Speaker 1: That's so cute. 492 00:25:41,840 --> 00:25:44,040 Speaker 2: It's super cute seeing the video, and it's like, I 493 00:25:44,040 --> 00:25:46,640 Speaker 2: feel like this episode in particular, we're having a lot 494 00:25:46,640 --> 00:25:49,720 Speaker 2: of really weird stories about birth, but this is like 495 00:25:49,840 --> 00:25:51,639 Speaker 2: a nice one to see that this guy cared a 496 00:25:51,680 --> 00:25:53,320 Speaker 2: lot and was running over to the patient. 497 00:25:53,920 --> 00:25:56,080 Speaker 1: I swear a similar thing happened to me because when 498 00:25:56,119 --> 00:25:59,919 Speaker 1: I showed up at the hot like when I had Lucia, 499 00:26:00,000 --> 00:26:03,960 Speaker 1: it was only eighteen months after having Lilian, and it 500 00:26:04,080 --> 00:26:06,080 Speaker 1: was so fresh in my mind to give birth, so 501 00:26:06,200 --> 00:26:08,600 Speaker 1: I knew that there was no reason to go to 502 00:26:08,640 --> 00:26:13,359 Speaker 1: the hospital until I seemed to be further along, because 503 00:26:13,400 --> 00:26:15,280 Speaker 1: I was just going to sit there all day and wait, 504 00:26:16,000 --> 00:26:18,480 Speaker 1: and I could have just did that at home. So 505 00:26:19,240 --> 00:26:23,120 Speaker 1: I'm here at the house and my water was sprinkling 506 00:26:23,200 --> 00:26:26,359 Speaker 1: out throughout the day, but I and I was having 507 00:26:26,440 --> 00:26:29,560 Speaker 1: contractions and stuff, but it was like doable. And then 508 00:26:29,600 --> 00:26:32,479 Speaker 1: all of a sudden, I was like, okay, like I 509 00:26:32,560 --> 00:26:35,520 Speaker 1: can't tolerate this anymore. I have to go to the hospital. 510 00:26:36,400 --> 00:26:39,560 Speaker 1: Classic story of Gabe having a brand new truck and 511 00:26:39,600 --> 00:26:41,920 Speaker 1: putting a giant black trash bag on the seat because 512 00:26:41,920 --> 00:26:43,800 Speaker 1: he thought I was going to like gush fluids all 513 00:26:43,840 --> 00:26:47,399 Speaker 1: over his car. But we got to the hospital, and 514 00:26:47,720 --> 00:26:50,720 Speaker 1: I was shocked when they told me that I wasn't 515 00:26:50,760 --> 00:26:53,120 Speaker 1: really that far dilated. They were like, oh, you're only 516 00:26:53,160 --> 00:26:55,240 Speaker 1: one or two centimeters, and I was like, oh my god, 517 00:26:55,240 --> 00:26:58,760 Speaker 1: this is going to hurt so bad. So I get 518 00:26:58,760 --> 00:27:02,960 Speaker 1: there and we go upstairs and they keep like I 519 00:27:03,000 --> 00:27:05,960 Speaker 1: was in so much pain, and they kept saying, oh, 520 00:27:06,000 --> 00:27:09,439 Speaker 1: you're not far enough along yet to get to get 521 00:27:09,480 --> 00:27:11,680 Speaker 1: the anesthesia. And all this stuff because I did try 522 00:27:11,760 --> 00:27:14,640 Speaker 1: to get it, it just didn't work out. And then 523 00:27:14,840 --> 00:27:18,000 Speaker 1: finally I was sitting there and I just couldn't. I 524 00:27:18,119 --> 00:27:19,919 Speaker 1: just was like, I just can't believe I'm in this 525 00:27:20,160 --> 00:27:24,560 Speaker 1: much pain and and I'm not even like anywhere near 526 00:27:24,640 --> 00:27:28,119 Speaker 1: there yet. I was feeling very scared, honestly. And then 527 00:27:28,720 --> 00:27:31,439 Speaker 1: all of a sudden, I say to the nurse, I 528 00:27:31,480 --> 00:27:35,560 Speaker 1: feel like I have to push, and she's like, are 529 00:27:35,560 --> 00:27:37,520 Speaker 1: you short? Like it was like it like kind of 530 00:27:37,560 --> 00:27:40,800 Speaker 1: blowing me off, and she checked. And then all of 531 00:27:40,840 --> 00:27:45,280 Speaker 1: a sudden, it was like really really fast, my doctor 532 00:27:45,400 --> 00:27:48,600 Speaker 1: ran in and he was wearing I don't even know 533 00:27:48,640 --> 00:27:51,240 Speaker 1: where he got this outfit that he was wearing. He 534 00:27:51,359 --> 00:27:53,920 Speaker 1: was wearing like do you remember those like ninety wind 535 00:27:53,920 --> 00:27:58,119 Speaker 1: breaker suits. He was wearing a nineties wind breaker suit 536 00:27:58,160 --> 00:28:00,320 Speaker 1: for some reason. And this was only ten years ago. Oh, 537 00:28:01,240 --> 00:28:04,399 Speaker 1: And they were ripping things out of the cabinet and 538 00:28:04,480 --> 00:28:09,040 Speaker 1: like setting up, and it was like, I within ten minutes, 539 00:28:09,119 --> 00:28:10,520 Speaker 1: she was out of my body. 540 00:28:10,880 --> 00:28:13,320 Speaker 2: Yeah, I remember that day because you were like, I'm 541 00:28:13,320 --> 00:28:15,960 Speaker 2: in labor, but just like go to where it, go 542 00:28:16,040 --> 00:28:18,960 Speaker 2: about your day because it's gonna be all day long. 543 00:28:19,359 --> 00:28:21,920 Speaker 1: And then twenty minutes when I told you, They told 544 00:28:21,920 --> 00:28:24,000 Speaker 1: me I was like two centimeters or something. 545 00:28:24,400 --> 00:28:27,040 Speaker 2: Yeah, And then twenty minutes later, Gabe sent me a 546 00:28:27,040 --> 00:28:30,920 Speaker 2: picture of Lubert and I was like, what just possibly 547 00:28:31,040 --> 00:28:32,680 Speaker 2: happened in the last twenty minutes. 548 00:28:32,720 --> 00:28:35,880 Speaker 1: It was crazy, it was It was so outrageous how 549 00:28:35,920 --> 00:28:38,800 Speaker 1: fast it was. But at least, like I honestly felt 550 00:28:38,800 --> 00:28:42,000 Speaker 1: better afterwards because I because I obviously I had no 551 00:28:42,080 --> 00:28:45,560 Speaker 1: drugs whatsoever, but I felt better because I was like, okay, 552 00:28:46,000 --> 00:28:48,600 Speaker 1: so the pain that I thought I was dying from 553 00:28:48,760 --> 00:28:52,560 Speaker 1: was really like nine and ten centimeter pain. Okay, Like 554 00:28:52,640 --> 00:28:55,640 Speaker 1: that justifies because you guys were telling me that I 555 00:28:55,720 --> 00:28:59,760 Speaker 1: wasn't deaf far along, and I was. You severely miscalculated. 556 00:29:00,120 --> 00:29:04,480 Speaker 1: But the same exacting happened. Like my doctor was clearly 557 00:29:04,560 --> 00:29:08,160 Speaker 1: he was there around, either at the office or something, 558 00:29:08,200 --> 00:29:11,840 Speaker 1: but he ran in and was like not even wearing scrubs. 559 00:29:12,160 --> 00:29:15,719 Speaker 1: It was like out of control. So that is just 560 00:29:16,240 --> 00:29:17,800 Speaker 1: it just kind of reminded me of that. 561 00:29:18,200 --> 00:29:20,920 Speaker 2: So his office is only one hundred yards away from 562 00:29:21,160 --> 00:29:23,480 Speaker 2: I guess the delivery unit there. So he said, with 563 00:29:23,520 --> 00:29:26,479 Speaker 2: twelve years of experience, he has refined his timing in 564 00:29:26,480 --> 00:29:29,160 Speaker 2: his route. So he can always make sure to get 565 00:29:29,160 --> 00:29:31,960 Speaker 2: there on time, which is super cool. Yeah the video, 566 00:29:32,040 --> 00:29:35,719 Speaker 2: he just looks like so heroic running across the street 567 00:29:35,760 --> 00:29:38,880 Speaker 2: to get there on time. All right, This birth story 568 00:29:38,960 --> 00:29:41,400 Speaker 2: is crazy. A couple months ago, this couple was on 569 00:29:41,440 --> 00:29:44,200 Speaker 2: a road trip with their six year old daughter in Toronto. 570 00:29:44,720 --> 00:29:46,560 Speaker 2: The wife claims that she went to bed and in 571 00:29:46,600 --> 00:29:48,719 Speaker 2: the middle of the night woke up with stomach pains 572 00:29:48,720 --> 00:29:51,680 Speaker 2: and an urge to push, exactly like what you were saying, 573 00:29:52,000 --> 00:29:54,000 Speaker 2: and before she knew it, she ended up giving birth 574 00:29:54,000 --> 00:29:55,959 Speaker 2: to a baby she didn't know she was pregnant with 575 00:29:56,040 --> 00:29:57,200 Speaker 2: in a toilet. 576 00:29:57,600 --> 00:30:00,240 Speaker 1: Yeah, Like, I mean I automatically would have thought that 577 00:30:00,320 --> 00:30:05,280 Speaker 1: I had diarrhea or something. Yeah. Absolutely, when you the 578 00:30:05,760 --> 00:30:08,040 Speaker 1: urge to push thing is like a real thing, because 579 00:30:08,040 --> 00:30:11,200 Speaker 1: I think before you have a baby, you're like, what 580 00:30:11,200 --> 00:30:13,360 Speaker 1: what does that feel like? How am I going to know? 581 00:30:13,400 --> 00:30:16,880 Speaker 1: And I'm like, oh, you know, it's like this, your 582 00:30:16,920 --> 00:30:19,680 Speaker 1: body just like reflexes and does it Like it's just 583 00:30:19,800 --> 00:30:24,280 Speaker 1: the weirdest thing ever. It's just expels like I can't explain, 584 00:30:24,520 --> 00:30:27,240 Speaker 1: you know how. It's kind of similar to when you're 585 00:30:27,280 --> 00:30:33,160 Speaker 1: sitting there and you go you feel nauseous, right, but 586 00:30:33,280 --> 00:30:36,200 Speaker 1: then you throw up, like you don't really have control 587 00:30:36,240 --> 00:30:38,720 Speaker 1: over it. You're just like something's guiding me to the 588 00:30:38,760 --> 00:30:40,920 Speaker 1: toilet and I need to bend over and like get 589 00:30:40,920 --> 00:30:42,840 Speaker 1: this out of me right now. It's kind of like 590 00:30:42,880 --> 00:30:47,160 Speaker 1: that feeling, like it just overtakes and like I really 591 00:30:47,160 --> 00:30:49,160 Speaker 1: don't know how else to explain it. It's just very 592 00:30:49,200 --> 00:30:55,240 Speaker 1: like spontaneous. So having like especially this woman had already 593 00:30:55,240 --> 00:30:58,400 Speaker 1: given birth, so she knows the whole deal. I'm sure 594 00:30:58,400 --> 00:30:59,840 Speaker 1: that was the last thing on her mind. 595 00:31:00,320 --> 00:31:02,280 Speaker 2: Well, that's exactly what I was gonna say. I don't 596 00:31:02,280 --> 00:31:05,440 Speaker 2: think it's whenever we hear there's these instances. I mean, 597 00:31:05,480 --> 00:31:07,480 Speaker 2: there was an entire show called I Didn't Know I 598 00:31:07,520 --> 00:31:12,160 Speaker 2: was pregnant. It's so unbelievable to me, based on everybody 599 00:31:12,200 --> 00:31:15,080 Speaker 2: I know that's pregnant that somebody wouldn't know, right, but 600 00:31:15,320 --> 00:31:18,280 Speaker 2: especially a person that's given birth not once, but twice. 601 00:31:18,320 --> 00:31:20,440 Speaker 2: This woman at an eighteen year old and a sixteen 602 00:31:20,520 --> 00:31:23,680 Speaker 2: year old. So that's what I think is extra crazy. 603 00:31:23,720 --> 00:31:26,320 Speaker 2: And she's saying that it was quite the shock to 604 00:31:26,360 --> 00:31:29,440 Speaker 2: her husband, who woke up when she was going to 605 00:31:29,480 --> 00:31:32,200 Speaker 2: the bathroom and heard a baby crying at the bathroom, 606 00:31:32,400 --> 00:31:35,840 Speaker 2: was like, what is possibly going on, but I guess 607 00:31:35,840 --> 00:31:39,200 Speaker 2: she she said she was having regular periods, so she 608 00:31:39,320 --> 00:31:41,600 Speaker 2: never questioned it. There was the thought she was going 609 00:31:41,600 --> 00:31:45,000 Speaker 2: through perry menopause at some point. She had several miscarriages 610 00:31:45,360 --> 00:31:47,920 Speaker 2: after the birth of her six year old daughter, so 611 00:31:48,200 --> 00:31:51,920 Speaker 2: I guess this was just totally unexpected. I just still 612 00:31:52,240 --> 00:31:55,120 Speaker 2: will never understand. This baby looked like a full sized, 613 00:31:55,200 --> 00:31:57,760 Speaker 2: huge baby too from pictures. 614 00:31:57,960 --> 00:32:00,520 Speaker 1: It's a very interesting point because it made you think 615 00:32:00,560 --> 00:32:07,520 Speaker 1: of of, uh like placebo kind of when most people 616 00:32:07,560 --> 00:32:09,760 Speaker 1: find out they're pregnant when they're like what five or 617 00:32:09,800 --> 00:32:12,680 Speaker 1: six weeks pregnant, So it's like when you know in 618 00:32:12,760 --> 00:32:17,320 Speaker 1: your mind, then you're like, okay, well, I'm like really hungry. 619 00:32:17,360 --> 00:32:20,280 Speaker 1: Like every weird symptom you have can be explained because 620 00:32:20,280 --> 00:32:25,240 Speaker 1: you're pregnant, weakain being extra hungry, just like any kind 621 00:32:25,280 --> 00:32:28,000 Speaker 1: of weird system. You'd be like, okay, well, like symptom 622 00:32:28,200 --> 00:32:31,160 Speaker 1: you're You're just like, oh, I'm pregnant, that's why, and 623 00:32:31,560 --> 00:32:34,240 Speaker 1: you eat more and you're like, well, I'm eating like 624 00:32:34,240 --> 00:32:37,800 Speaker 1: like this because like you know, sometimes you whatever and 625 00:32:37,840 --> 00:32:39,840 Speaker 1: everyone doesn't get that like I do, and I'm pregnant. 626 00:32:39,840 --> 00:32:43,480 Speaker 1: I'm like like ravenous every single day. But some people 627 00:32:43,600 --> 00:32:47,600 Speaker 1: just gain normal weight whatever. But if you don't know, 628 00:32:48,800 --> 00:32:51,160 Speaker 1: and you're just kind of blow it off, like God, 629 00:32:51,560 --> 00:32:55,239 Speaker 1: like listen, like I'm going through perimenopause right now, and 630 00:32:55,360 --> 00:32:59,160 Speaker 1: every single day I'm like fighting all this weird stuff 631 00:32:59,200 --> 00:33:01,440 Speaker 1: that's happening with my body. And I'm like, right, I 632 00:33:01,480 --> 00:33:03,920 Speaker 1: want to eat all day long, but I know I 633 00:33:03,960 --> 00:33:06,960 Speaker 1: can't cause I'm going to gain weight. So it's like 634 00:33:06,960 --> 00:33:08,800 Speaker 1: like I reel it in. But then it's like if 635 00:33:08,840 --> 00:33:10,760 Speaker 1: I knew I was pregnant, like maybe I'd be like, well, 636 00:33:10,760 --> 00:33:13,080 Speaker 1: I'm pregnant, it makes sense, and you just have like 637 00:33:13,120 --> 00:33:16,360 Speaker 1: weird symptoms that you would blow off because you don't 638 00:33:16,440 --> 00:33:17,840 Speaker 1: know that you're pregnant. 639 00:33:18,120 --> 00:33:21,000 Speaker 2: I remember when I read Kelly Rippa's book, she said, 640 00:33:21,360 --> 00:33:24,320 Speaker 2: I think it was with her third kid, maybe it 641 00:33:24,360 --> 00:33:25,880 Speaker 2: was her first, I don't know, I don't know. Anyway, 642 00:33:26,040 --> 00:33:28,360 Speaker 2: she thought she had the flu for like weeks and 643 00:33:28,400 --> 00:33:29,960 Speaker 2: she was sick, and she was like, I was taking 644 00:33:30,000 --> 00:33:32,360 Speaker 2: all this medicine and then she found out she was 645 00:33:32,440 --> 00:33:34,840 Speaker 2: like eight weeks pregnant or something crazy, and then she 646 00:33:34,920 --> 00:33:37,200 Speaker 2: was freaking out because then she took all that medicine, 647 00:33:37,400 --> 00:33:40,040 Speaker 2: not knowing she was pregnant, But I just hear different 648 00:33:40,040 --> 00:33:43,600 Speaker 2: things with everybody. I agree with you. I think sometimes 649 00:33:44,000 --> 00:33:46,360 Speaker 2: it could definitely be a place Ebo effect, if you know, 650 00:33:46,800 --> 00:33:49,240 Speaker 2: because I'm sure people just have days where they have 651 00:33:49,280 --> 00:33:52,120 Speaker 2: weird cravings or mild nausea or diary like they don't 652 00:33:52,160 --> 00:33:54,040 Speaker 2: think anything of it. But of course you're gonna be 653 00:33:54,120 --> 00:33:56,680 Speaker 2: hyper vigilant when you know something's going on in your 654 00:33:56,720 --> 00:33:57,720 Speaker 2: body and blame it on that. 655 00:33:57,880 --> 00:34:01,520 Speaker 1: Yeah, Like and I understand, like it's just it's just different, 656 00:34:01,600 --> 00:34:05,160 Speaker 1: like you feel. Let's say you feel the movement of 657 00:34:05,360 --> 00:34:09,879 Speaker 1: the baby obviously when you're pregnant, right, But like if 658 00:34:09,920 --> 00:34:12,839 Speaker 1: you don't know and you're not expecting it, your mind 659 00:34:12,880 --> 00:34:16,120 Speaker 1: could just do crazy, like amazing things like you might 660 00:34:16,200 --> 00:34:19,359 Speaker 1: just blow it off as gas or and and other 661 00:34:19,480 --> 00:34:23,959 Speaker 1: times women's like a uterus could be towards the back 662 00:34:24,000 --> 00:34:28,480 Speaker 1: of their body that they don't show as much. 663 00:34:28,880 --> 00:34:31,080 Speaker 2: That's what I was gonna ask, because I can understand 664 00:34:31,080 --> 00:34:33,759 Speaker 2: blowing the other symptoms off to other things. But like 665 00:34:34,719 --> 00:34:39,040 Speaker 2: most pregnant people I see are so visibly pregnant when 666 00:34:39,040 --> 00:34:39,600 Speaker 2: they're that far. 667 00:34:39,640 --> 00:34:43,440 Speaker 1: But there's there's a viral video I saw going around 668 00:34:43,480 --> 00:34:47,320 Speaker 1: there about this woman who was like documenting her whole pregnancy, 669 00:34:48,320 --> 00:34:50,200 Speaker 1: and she would you know, she did the video like 670 00:34:50,320 --> 00:34:54,239 Speaker 1: eight weeks, ten weeks, like every couple weeks, and her 671 00:34:54,320 --> 00:35:01,200 Speaker 1: belly like didn't really get that big. It happens with 672 00:35:01,280 --> 00:35:06,320 Speaker 1: some people. And like I said, some people, some people 673 00:35:06,400 --> 00:35:09,840 Speaker 1: lose weight when they're pregnant because they're sick. Some people 674 00:35:10,000 --> 00:35:13,319 Speaker 1: don't gain that much weight. Like this woman already had 675 00:35:13,360 --> 00:35:15,960 Speaker 1: two kids. Like maybe let's just say, maybe she was 676 00:35:16,000 --> 00:35:21,200 Speaker 1: twenty pounds overweight just from having kids and being older whatever, right, 677 00:35:21,680 --> 00:35:24,640 Speaker 1: like she might she might not have noticed her belly 678 00:35:24,680 --> 00:35:27,799 Speaker 1: sticking out as much as before, do you know, because 679 00:35:27,800 --> 00:35:29,840 Speaker 1: of the chances in your body when you get older. 680 00:35:30,320 --> 00:35:34,680 Speaker 1: So and really, I've seen an autopsy of a pregnant 681 00:35:34,680 --> 00:35:39,520 Speaker 1: person that was full term, and the uterus itself is 682 00:35:39,560 --> 00:35:43,839 Speaker 1: not really taking up a whole bunch of space in there, 683 00:35:44,760 --> 00:35:49,080 Speaker 1: So it could be hidden in certain types of bodies 684 00:35:49,120 --> 00:35:52,920 Speaker 1: for sure. Like I told you, I like, I've been 685 00:35:52,920 --> 00:35:55,080 Speaker 1: pregnant three times, and I sit there and I say, 686 00:35:56,120 --> 00:36:00,200 Speaker 1: that's impossible. But then you could see when people will 687 00:36:00,239 --> 00:36:05,000 Speaker 1: have certain circumstances that you might just not know it. 688 00:36:05,600 --> 00:36:08,520 Speaker 2: Yeah, all right, five years ago this thirty eight year 689 00:36:08,520 --> 00:36:10,520 Speaker 2: old guy from Japan was asked by a friend to 690 00:36:10,560 --> 00:36:13,120 Speaker 2: sleep with his wife because that guy was unable to 691 00:36:13,120 --> 00:36:15,520 Speaker 2: get her pregnant. So the guy ended up doing it 692 00:36:15,520 --> 00:36:18,400 Speaker 2: because he wanted to do a nice thing. But after that, 693 00:36:18,480 --> 00:36:21,439 Speaker 2: he decided to offer his services to others, meaning he'll 694 00:36:21,440 --> 00:36:23,600 Speaker 2: either sleep with the woman they get her pregnant, but 695 00:36:23,680 --> 00:36:25,920 Speaker 2: he also offers a non sex option. 696 00:36:28,000 --> 00:36:31,200 Speaker 1: Well maybe he puts it in a cup or something. Yeah, 697 00:36:31,239 --> 00:36:32,440 Speaker 1: so whatever. 698 00:36:32,520 --> 00:36:36,360 Speaker 2: He's selling his services via social media, which is apparently 699 00:36:36,400 --> 00:36:39,160 Speaker 2: this legal gray area in Japan, they have no specific 700 00:36:39,239 --> 00:36:43,600 Speaker 2: laws that banned private sperm donation or online promotion, and 701 00:36:43,719 --> 00:36:46,080 Speaker 2: he's been successful. There's a couple babies that have been 702 00:36:46,120 --> 00:36:48,040 Speaker 2: born from his services. 703 00:36:48,920 --> 00:36:51,480 Speaker 1: Well it's weird because you would think, oh, this is 704 00:36:51,680 --> 00:36:55,480 Speaker 1: obvious prostitution kind of, but then at the same time 705 00:36:56,000 --> 00:36:59,760 Speaker 1: he's not. He asked people to pay for his travel, 706 00:37:00,000 --> 00:37:03,879 Speaker 1: but he doesn't actually want he's not getting paid for 707 00:37:03,920 --> 00:37:07,120 Speaker 1: it as a job. Yeah, so it's not. But like 708 00:37:08,120 --> 00:37:11,279 Speaker 1: if you talk about prostitution, like if someone was like, oh, 709 00:37:11,360 --> 00:37:13,080 Speaker 1: I'll have sex with you for free if you fly 710 00:37:13,200 --> 00:37:16,239 Speaker 1: me here, is that considered Okay? I don't know. 711 00:37:17,120 --> 00:37:20,200 Speaker 2: I don't know because it's with the intention of conception. 712 00:37:20,480 --> 00:37:23,200 Speaker 2: So yeah, I think it's interesting, and I wonder if 713 00:37:23,200 --> 00:37:26,000 Speaker 2: they're gonna put laws in place, because this guy is 714 00:37:26,160 --> 00:37:28,840 Speaker 2: kind of in this like legal loophol doing this. But 715 00:37:29,040 --> 00:37:31,919 Speaker 2: he was saying that he thought, like his friend, most 716 00:37:31,920 --> 00:37:35,239 Speaker 2: of his customers would be couples with infertility, but it 717 00:37:35,560 --> 00:37:39,440 Speaker 2: ends up that his number one demographic is same sex 718 00:37:39,520 --> 00:37:43,080 Speaker 2: marriages with women and single mothers who are just looking 719 00:37:43,120 --> 00:37:45,520 Speaker 2: to have kids, and then infertile couples. 720 00:37:46,000 --> 00:37:49,360 Speaker 1: So apparently on his social media he posts that he 721 00:37:49,480 --> 00:37:54,920 Speaker 1: gets this like sexually transmitted infection test every month to 722 00:37:55,000 --> 00:37:57,640 Speaker 1: prove that he's clean. And he also posts a picture 723 00:37:57,680 --> 00:38:01,560 Speaker 1: of his degree, so you could know that he's both 724 00:38:01,680 --> 00:38:05,359 Speaker 1: educated and legit who he is saying he is. 725 00:38:05,880 --> 00:38:09,760 Speaker 2: So he's had over twenty requests, he's gotten seven women pregnant, 726 00:38:09,840 --> 00:38:12,080 Speaker 2: and four children have been born so far. 727 00:38:13,080 --> 00:38:15,480 Speaker 1: I would just like love a camera to just be 728 00:38:15,560 --> 00:38:18,000 Speaker 1: there recording this.

Let's say it's 771 00:40:17,800 --> 00:40:20,560 Speaker 1: a lesbian couple, right, so they would get it from 772 00:40:20,560 --> 00:40:23,440 Speaker 1: a sperm bank. But what if you what if the 773 00:40:23,520 --> 00:40:28,520 Speaker 1: lesbian knew a guy that was willing to donate it, 774 00:40:28,520 --> 00:40:30,480 Speaker 1: it would be the same kind of a situation.

But it's just like, how are we not 838 00:43:40,160 --> 00:43:42,439 Speaker 2: looking at this being like, Okay, we're taking this drug 839 00:43:42,480 --> 00:43:44,320 Speaker 2: and now we have five other problems? 840 00:43:44,480 --> 00:43:49,359 Speaker 1: Yeah, I don't listen so much more shit's gonna come 841 00:43:49,360 --> 00:43:51,919 Speaker 1: out over the course of the next twenty years too 842 00:43:52,239 --> 00:43:54,920 Speaker 1: with this drug, just because now they have so many 843 00:43:55,000 --> 00:43:57,480 Speaker 1: people taking it and they were gonna have a huge 844 00:43:57,640 --> 00:44:00,000 Speaker 1: population to be able to say, like what the true 845 00:44:00,200 --> 00:44:00,960 Speaker 1: side effects are. 846 00:44:02,000 --> 00:44:04,759 Speaker 2: Yeah, I'm curious what's gonna come out about that over 847 00:44:04,800 --> 00:44:07,480 Speaker 2: a long term, because like, of course, ozempic hasn't just 848 00:44:07,600 --> 00:44:09,600 Speaker 2: only been around a year or two. It's been around 849 00:44:09,680 --> 00:44:11,560 Speaker 2: for a long time. But I don't think we've ever 850 00:44:11,560 --> 00:44:13,520 Speaker 2: seen it. I mean no, I don't think we have 851 00:44:13,600 --> 00:44:17,080 Speaker 2: not seen it used in these astronomical numbers. It's being 852 00:44:17,200 --> 00:44:19,440 Speaker 2: used for like it is now, So I wonder what 853 00:44:19,480 --> 00:44:21,279 Speaker 2: the studies are going to look like in a couple yeahs. 854 00:44:21,280 --> 00:44:24,120 Speaker 1: And it hasn't been like a long time per se, No, 855 00:44:24,200 --> 00:44:26,720 Speaker 1: but like a long term effects at least. 856 00:44:26,600 --> 00:44:29,399 Speaker 2: A decade, right, it's been around or give or take. 857 00:44:29,480 --> 00:44:32,279 Speaker 2: But yeah, I mean we haven't seen the long term 858 00:44:32,320 --> 00:44:35,480 Speaker 2: like twenty year, thirty or forty years. What happens, I'm. 859 00:44:35,680 --> 00:44:39,080 Speaker 1: And what happens because every single person that takes it 860 00:44:39,160 --> 00:44:41,040 Speaker 1: for the most part, seems to be that they have 861 00:44:41,120 --> 00:44:42,799 Speaker 1: to take it for the rest of their lives because 862 00:44:42,840 --> 00:44:47,200 Speaker 1: once they stop taking it, they start gaining weight back unless. 863 00:44:46,840 --> 00:44:49,399 Speaker 2: You use it correctly and take the time while you're 864 00:44:49,480 --> 00:44:52,920 Speaker 2: using it to try to re establish new lifestyle habits. 865 00:44:52,960 --> 00:44:55,360 Speaker 1: So that you can maintain it. That's the balance. I 866 00:44:55,400 --> 00:44:59,040 Speaker 1: wonder what the percentage of that is. But so so yeah, 867 00:44:59,120 --> 00:45:01,600 Speaker 1: so you have that, Like you don't have the studies 868 00:45:01,600 --> 00:45:04,120 Speaker 1: of what happens when someone's on because people that are 869 00:45:04,120 --> 00:45:06,960 Speaker 1: taking it in their early twenties, but they're going to 870 00:45:07,040 --> 00:45:09,279 Speaker 1: have to be on it for forty years of their life. Like, 871 00:45:09,320 --> 00:45:12,520 Speaker 1: what's that like? I don't know.
