Dr. Sogade explains the fattening room, a tribal custom where girls were prepared for womanhood by eating heavy meals in order to gain weight. Fat displayed prosperity, fertility, and beauty. The term obesity, in regard to health, was not used in the English language until the 19th century. In recent years, obesity has become a worldwide public health crisis. The two doctors discuss the social determinants of obesity and obesity-related cardiovascular factors that contribute to race and ethnic disparities. Additional issues associated with obesity in women, such as fertility issues, preeclampsia, and spontaneous miscarriages are also described.

Timestamps(01:00) C-sections and breastfeeding(03:50) Initiative to reduce 1st c-section(06:00) Labor curve and tracing(12:10) Why do minority women have more c-sections (16:22) Profit of c-sections(19:55) Final advice This concluding Part 4 of That Bikini Cut with Dr. MaryJoy Weathersby includes three major topics. First, Dr. Weathersby discusses breastfeeding after a caesarian section. With c-sections, there is a lag in the peak production of breast milk due to the nature of the surgery. If a mother elects to breastfeed, it is attempted as soon as mom is in recovery and mom and baby are both stable. The American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists prefers vaginal delivery when possible. There is an initiative to reduce the first c-section due to the higher chance of subsequent c-sections. There are times, however, when tracing is not good and the risk of infection during prolonged labor is higher than the risk of a caesarian section. Additionally, Dr. Sogade and Dr. Weathersby discuss the issue of minority women having more c-sections than white women. Some minority women face the issue of not being listened to or taken seriously in the medical setting. Another factor involves profit. The cost of c-sections is almost double of an uncomplicated vaginal birth, and some hospitals take advantage of this. Dr. MaryJoy Weathersby leaves listeners with encouragement to come in with their desires but also listen to their doctor when there are medical reasons for doing something different.#obgyn #csesction #caesariansection #acog #labor #delivery #breastfeeding #laborcurve #womenshealth

Dr MaryJoy WeathersbyTimestamps (00:10) Advantages of a C-Section (03:30) Trial of labor (07:50) Vaginal birth after caesarian section (16:05) Things to note before leaving the hospital (23:55) Vocalize your symptoms Dr. MaryJoy Weathersby and Dr. Bola Sogade continue their conversation in part 3 of That Bikini Cut. This episode includes discussions about trial of labor, vbac, and advocating for yourself. Dr. Weathersby first discusses the advantages of a caesarian section. A vaginal and caesarian delivery each have their own advantages depending on the health of the baby and current and previous health factors of the mother. It is possible for a mother to have a vaginal birth after a caesarian section. This is also known as a vbac. Dr. Weathersby does not recommend a vbac after more than one c-section due to scarring of the uterus. Risks arise even after one uterine scar due to the weakening of the uterus. The term uterine window is used to describe a very thin and weakened uterus. This leads to a high risk of rupture. If a woman with only one previous c-section wants a trial of labor, they must meet certain criteria and it must occur in a hospital setting. Before leaving the hospital after delivery, there are several things a mother should take note of. It is very important to communicate to your health care provider if you have persistent headaches, fevers, difficulty walking, belly pain, or urinary retention. Dr. MaryJoy Weathersby encourages listeners to be vocal. If something doesn’t feel right let your health care provider know! #csection #caesariansection #vaginalbirth #vbac #trialoflabor #obgyn #obstetrics #gynecology #womenshealth #uterinewindow #advocacyinhealth

This series will give you everything you need to know about caesarean sections! The two doctors quickly jump into the discussion and discuss what a caesarean birth is. A caesarean birth is an abdominal procedure where the obgyn cuts through the abdomen and into the uterus to deliver the baby. Dr. Sogade gives insight about the history of the caesarean section. The caesarean section dates to ancient roman times. The surgery was rarely performed due to the high risks associated with the procedure. Originally, it was only used to save a baby from the womb of a mother who had died while giving birth. Fortunately, the caesarian section has greatly evolved since its discovery! Today, a Caesarean section or c section can be elective or emergency. An elective c section is a scheduled procedure and is not a high stress situation. Dr. Weathersby explains the reasons for both elective c sections and emergency c sections. A baby in a breech position is one reason for a c section. If a mother wants a vaginal birth but their baby is in a breech position, an external cephalic version can be performed. Dr. Weathersby explains this technique of moving a baby to the correct position. Today’s episode also includes the topic of vbac or vaginal birth after caesarean section. The type of incision made on the uterus determines if a mother is eligible for a vaginal birth after a previous caesarean section. A vertical scar does not allow a woman to have a vaginal birth due to the greater risk of rupturing the uterus. Dr. Weathersby explains the severity of this risk. On the other hand, a lower uterine transverse scar may permit a woman to have a vaginal birth. Dr. Maryjoy Weathersby and Dr. Bola Sogade discuss all of this and more in this insightful episode!
