The WORST “Medical” Advice from Reddit | Doctor Reacts

A board-certified obstetrician reviews popular pregnancy, labor and birth advice shared in online parent groups and on Reddit. Topics include postpartum fever, late pregnancy, umbilical cord wrapping, sex after birth, claims that blood moons cause miscarriage, and meconium. The video is a myth-busting commentary from Mama Doctor Jones and is presented for entertainment and education, not as medical guidance. The speaker stresses that viewers should not follow any of the advice discussed and should consult their own healthcare provider for medical decisions.

• Reviews claims about postpartum fever, late pregnancy and umbilical cord wrapping
• Examines the blood moon miscarriage belief and the idea that meconium is harmless
• Presented by a board-certified obstetrician as educational, not medical advice

Today we are diving once more into the cesspool of internet ‘mom group’ advice, specifically about pregnancy, labor, and birth. In this video, I - a board-certified obgyn doctor - learn a lot about how blood moons can cause miscarriages, meconium is apparently not a problem at all, and fetuses are smart enough to wrap their umbilical cords around their necks…for…safety? Long story short…have a laugh at some of this “medical” insanity courtesy of internet mom groups, but definitely don’t take any of it as serious medical advice…please…I beg you… Referenced videos: Animal births: https://youtu.be/3-JNma2I9DU?si=G7APyWsdtoeEI5Zk Problems with US Midwives: https://youtu.be/ASKngvPH9Ew?si=ScpVyoPd0M1Wof5m Home Birth in the US: https://youtu.be/5XF0XkISTwg?si=0Rex2xNwN-IdXKB7 Working in New Zealand: https://youtu.be/jGCuhl5wkkE?si=CH_e4otS5qHAv-za 00:00 Intro 1:09 Postpartum fever 2:53 53-week Pregnancy... 4:44 Umbilical Cord Around Neck 8:24 Shrooms While Pregnant... 8:51 Sex 10 days Postpartum 10:55 Blood Moon Miscarriage 12:56 Meconium Emergency Blood moon superstition: https://sanfernandosun.com/2024/04/03/eclipses-safety-pins-and-the-aztecs/ Become a channel Membryo to connect & access perks! https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCrPhcbDwqWRc-3tteE2BS6g/join MDJ Secret Second Channel: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCAkrMPc856DvoxX99IyGYmw 🍑🍆 Beducated is an INCREDIBLE platform with inclusive, evidence-based courses on pleasure - use my affiliate link https://fas.st/t/T9cj1r6A and gift yourself with education you'll enjoy for life. 👅💦 I stream on Twitch weekly (usually Sundays): https://www.twitch.tv/mamadoctorjones - Playlist of full-length Twitch streams for channel membryos: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLVH2Gpf8wKeRO7TL3vfzJkfsF9eHmQGkP FOLLOW ME ON SOCIAL: Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/mamadoctorjones Twitter: https://www.twitter.com/mamadoctorjones TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@mamadoctorjones ** The information in this video is intended to serve as educational information and is not intended or implied to be a substitute for professional medical advice, diagnosis or treatment.
