Pediatrician & OB/GYN Explain What to Expect in the Hospital for Newborn Care

I never see delayed cord clamping addressed with c-sections. Can you do this when having a c?

Genuine question. Aren't formula-fed babies essentially receiving "oral supplementation"? So if the risk is almost zero for formula-fed babies, why isn't oral supplementation good enough?

My questions for the experts,

Dear X,

After sharing my birth plan with a midwife at your hospital on the 10th January, I was informed that I wasn't allowed to refuse Vitamin K shot for my baby who could potentially be born early. The term 'obligatory' was used. When I persisted to say I didn't want it, she explained I'd need to see you, the head (boss) of the neonatal department. I therefore thank you for your time today and I have the following questions;

Do the rights of patients and users of health system defined in article L1110 to L1115-3 of the public heath code still exist?

Do all patients still have the right to refuse or not to receive a treatment?

Is the doctor still required to respect the patients wishes in accordance with the article?

I fully understand that if refusal of treatment has serious consequences for the minor then the doctor will provide 'health care' that is 'crucial' to his/ her health, therefore please can you show me the results of the double blind placebo trial if one has ever taken place? Also, can you define 'crucial'.

Please can you inform me why there are millions of people alive today including my two children that didn't receive vitamin K? Why is the shot optional in other 1st world countries? Could this be used as evidence in a court of law that the vitamin K shot is not at all 'crucial'?

Is my child more likely to live or die if not administered synthetic vitamin K at birth?

Please can you read me the warning on the Pfizer vitamin K packet? Is there any warnings about the negative effects of the 'toxic' adjuvant, aluminum, especially when administered to premature babies, putting them at 'particular risk'? What are these risks according to the respectable medical studies and articles found on 'Children's Health Defence' website?

Have any severe reactions ever been observed by Pfizer immediately after distributing the shot, for example anaphylaxis, shock, cardiac arrest and respiratory arrest and death, even when efforts have been made to dilute the shot according to their own litterature?

Have there been any pub med studies linking the shot to lymphoblastic leukaemia in children aged 1 to 6?

According to other reliable sources of medical literature, are there any other possible negative effects of administering a synthetic shot of VK in an adjuvant of aluminum, for example, skin disorders, bradycardia, dyspnea bronchospasm?

Has the highly respected British Medical Journal admitted that they still don't know enough about the negative consequences of Vit K administration? Have they not recommended a larger controlled trial take place? Please can you inform me of the results of this trial, and if and when it happened who funded it?

Have there been any clinical trials or medical studies carried out showing that low levels of vitamin K in newborns is not a mistake? Is there any positive effects of not receiving an artificial shot for example the protective effects of xenobiotic entry? Why do you think a woman's placenta only passes very little K to the baby? And why a woman's breast milk (a woman eating a rich diet of vitamin K ) is fully capable of providing a baby with every nutrient and vitamin it needs, yet doesn't pass on vitamin K to the infant? Could it be possible that the K Vitamin for newborns is not necessary at this young age for reasons 'science' (which should always be questioned) does not yet understand?

Please can you define the term 'obligatory' Is this legal terminology or a word to manipulate a person into compliance?

I'm fully aware of the mainstream narrative regarding the vitamin K shot. Does this hospital have any conflict of interest in recommending/ forcing it?

Does my decision effect my insurance? How?

Is it possible that 'obligatory' vitamin K has more to do with the financial protection of the hospital than protection of the infant due to a corrupt system?

Thank you for answering each question in writing and fully informing me in of the pros and cons of the vitamin K shot for newborns in accordance with article L110-1 to L115-3 prior to my final decision regarding the intervention or where I deliver my baby.

Kind regards,
Emma

I was born almost 3 weeks late and weighed over 10#

My fiancé and I plan on trying for a baby after we get married next year! Already starting to prepare haha

Do you guys have any videos about adopting a newborn baby and what to expect?

love your videos, im 15 weeks and first time mom. you both have been helping my husband and i get grips of whats to come. I LOVE YOUR NECKLACE!!

Going to be a first time dad in about three weeks and watching your videos have done two things, easer my mind but also made more questions arise! Keep the good stuff coming you guys are super helpful!

They need a task force for babies. 😂😂😂

Your knowledge on hepatitis B, vitamin K, and the eye ointment is shocking. You are pushing fear and facts that are not accurate. A babies risk of catching hep b in developed nations such as NJ, USA is nearly .005% chance. Wake up and stop the fear based bullshit. Eye ointment is only if mom has the STD. Just test them… 😢

How often does an infant develop hepatitis B? How many babies get STDs when momma and daddy are STD-free? I’ll pass in jabbing my infant with all those chemical preservative toxins in the vax.

What our docs do are push the blood out of the cord into baby .. so not delay just help all blood empty out to baby

After last 2-3 years, vaccines are not safe and effective, no vaccines for babys

Beautiful combo💕

I’m from Australia and I love watching all your videos, it’s making me feel calm after exciting news. Keep it up and God bless 🙏🏻

What do u suggest for 36 wheeler to gain weight? My baby is 4 lb 85 ounces

I Love watching all of your videos! Trying for baby #2, 20 years after my first baby was born and I’ve forgotten ALL of this info. 😅

Vaccines are poison and I would not have given my baby vaccines if his amunitiy wasn't shot.

I'd be curious if vitamin k is higher in plant based moms. When I log my meals occasionally in the chronometer app I blow vitamin k out of the water. It just seems weird that for thousands of years there were no vitamin k shots and in most other ways breast milk is perfectly adapted for babies.

Ladies.. please do your own research as well, don't just listen to these videos. The vitamin K shot warning label LITERALLY says that it doesn't cause clotting. The whole reason they give the shot. If your baby isn't bleeding / bleeding out.. then why would they need the shot in the first place? It's not just a vitamin. Look it up PLEASE. God didn't screw up, our babies don't need these things! Our breastmilk will provide everything a typical healthy baby needs. Don't give them vitamin C either! Do your own research. 💕 look at both sides and judge accordingly. Good luck.

The vaccination for hepatitis seems more prudent where I live (Latvia).
In the third trimester the mother is tested for HBsAg and if the test is positive or is not done (e.g. premature birth) only then the shot is done. Because, where else would the infant get the hepatitis during the first year of life, if not from breast milk?

The fact that delayed cord cutting is now becoming standard is good news. When I gave birth the first time in 2011 I asked for delayed cord clamping/cutting and the doctor treated me like I was crazy. Basically told me I would bleed out and possibly die if they delayed cord cutting.

Thank you so much for this very thorough explanation of what to expect! I feel so enlightened!

As a nicu nurse I have never seen a pediatrician at the warmer during a delivery, a neo doc sure if the delivery is severe like with a micro premie but from my experience a pedi doesn't get involved unless baby is good to go and mom is transfered to post partum unit

Thank you for your wonderful content! I’m about to give birth in a week and wondering how much time should be balanced between delayed cord clamping and cord blood/tissue collection? Too much delay and the cord blood/tissue collection won’t have enough sample. Thanks!

What a great pair, an OBGYN and a pediatrician!

Thanks from Italy!

It's amazing to me how many people in the breastfeeding community have NO IDEA about the risk of brain bleeds being almost exclusively in breastfed infants. It's okay to say "breastmilk is great but it isn't perfect."

is that possible to have delayed cord clamping when we do cord banking?

I really appreciate your videos!! 💖

25 weeks, and I can't wait! time seems to move slowly

I’m 5 weeks so glad I found your channel months ago so I could know what’s coming up!!

Why the heck n Bob are you Doctors not studying midwifery!!!!!????? You guys really lack on SO MUCH BEAUTIFUL INFORMATION!!!! Like a LOTUS BIRTH - never ever clipping that cord for HOURS!! Oh my god you are all SHOCKING babies when you do not leave the cord on !!!!! The position you put mothers in on their back is a guarantee for TEARING !!!!!! A trained midwife knows how to manipulate the pelvis to ensure zero tearing happens and how to position her body !!!

My goddess gracious doctors have lost the beautiful process of delivering babies into this world.

MOMS - READ AS MANY BOOKS ON MIDWIFERY AS POSSIBLE!! The way the doctors carry out PROTOCOLS in hospital is ridiculous .

I would sincerely love to hear you two and Dr. Paul Thomas have an open discussion because I think it would be civil and helpful to people on the fence about vaccinations. Would you consider this?!

Thanks so much!! Love your videos, SO helpful!

FTM here due next week and I've been watching your videos since my 2nd trimester. Thank you so much for putting out helpful content from a medical perspective!!

I have my last OB appointment before I'm induced on Wednesday!!! I'm super excited and nervous! Thank you so much for your videos. They are very helpful.

I'm being induced tomorrow

So I just found out a week ago that I’m going to be a dad …

I always thought I’d be exited and I would be but my wife is very childish and immature I wasn’t ready to have kids with her even though I wanted them but she is so childish I jumped right into protective mode I wanted to take care of both of them and help them and have them both healthy and happy but being new I was researching all the things related to taking care of the baby and her but every time I tell her my findings from multiple doctors and even my sister In law who is a OG/BYN she instantly gets mad and argues and refuses to listen I’m trying to be the good helpful guy but all I get is anger and bs even before the pregnancy it’s just worst now idk what to do I’m trying to help her and my child but I’m almost like I don’t even wanna try she’s just a angry person who don’t even give things a chance and has a unrealistic view on things I think I would have actually been excited about kids if it wasn’t for her childish behavior I’d actually be excited but I’m not anymore please any advice would help

Can baby still be nórmela if baby don’t not have the nasal bone

Im 35 weeks pregnant and i didnt know about any of this these videos are very informative gotta get my hospital bag ready still got alot to do. Question do you prefer to have newborn baby sleep in the crib or a bassinet i have both just not sure which one she should sleep in first

Thank you for these videos, I am currently 33 weeks pregnant with my second baby. Keep them coming 😍

I would have liked to hear you go into how high the risk is in the first place for a child getting Hep B. From what I've read it's mostly transmitted through sexual transmission and dirty needles. On rare occasions, it can be transmitted by blood transfer. Given almost all infants will not be exposed to sexually transmitted diseases and dirty needles then they would need to get it through a blood transfusion which I imagine is also a very rare occurrence in newborns.

Currently, it appears you have a 1 in 2,000,000 chance of getting hep b per unit of blood. With all that considered why is the Hep B vaccine highly recommended for newborns?

They went to pharma school, so they’re just spitting out what they’ve been trained to do by pharmaceutical companies

I have a very important question, for all these test.. is it required for baby to leave room? I really don’t want my baby to leave the room at all given time unless nicu

Don't forget to mention that hospitals offer formula too, so the Mom/parents have feeding options.

I see many oral vitamin k supplements in the US. I’m not causing a baby unnecessary pain because nobody made any studies showing that the oral supplement CAN work good when used frequently and given in high enough doses.

I don’t agree with erythromycin at all and don’t want to do it

I'm glad you two are making these. My wife is pregnant and we've been doing a lot of research on what things are actually important for baby.
