- Oh, that makes my pubis clench.
(bright upbeat music)
- I have three children,
and I think I know a lot about pregnancy.
- I have one child,
and I pretty much don't know anything about childbirth
even after giving birth to a baby.
- I've got twin boys who are 11 years old.
- I have four-year-old twin boys.
I think I'm somewhat knowledgeable
about pregnancy and childbirth.
- I have twin daughters.
I know a lot about my pregnancy,
but I have a bad memory, so...
(Milana laughs)
Chainsaws, the horror-movie murder weapon of choice,
were invented for aid in childbirth.
- Please do not let this be true.
I really have to say false because if we did that,
I don't know, we did a lot of horrible things,
but, please.
I don't want to know that.
- I don't think that that's true.
- That sounds crazy enough to be true.
- I sure hope not, so I'm gonna say false
'cause that sounds wild.
(classical music)
- I can't even really process
what that would look like or feel like,
and, how did mothers survive that?
- That sounds horrible.
- That's really mortifying.
Childbirth is like a horror film,
like, there's blood everywhere.
- No. What? Oh, my God.
The patriarchy.
Well, I'm glad to have been born in elsewhere.
I guess I should say that.
That's crazy.
A man, I'm sure, was behind that one.
- Early pregnancy guidebook were written by men
who had never seen childbirth.
- You know this is true.
I know this one is true.
(Milana laughs)
- Of course, of course, of course.
Leave it to a man and tell us what to do in our body,
how to react to our body, how to be women.
Absolutely true.
- I think this is true because men, for a long time,
were the only people that could,
that were taught to read and write.
- I believe that this is very true
'cause men like to tell everybody what to do.
(playful music)
(Estella laughs)
Hunches for pregnancy, that's...
rich. (Estella laughs)
- Your boobs might grow unevenly during pregnancy.
Well, I think my boobs grew unevenly,
so I'm gonna say true.
- Absolutely.
My boobs are always uneven even without pregnancy.
- No, but who is symmetrical?
Nobody is symmetrical.
Let's go with true.
(bright music)
- Estimated 60% of people experience some form of tearing...
Whoo! Their first vaginal delivery.
Facts. Hello, facts!
- Unfortunately, yes.
I believe that to be true.
(playful music)
- I was technically right,
because the number was just off,
but absolutely every person I know has got some tearing.
Let me tell you something.
I tore a little bit, too.
- A retained placenta,
when the placenta is not naturally birthed or removed,
breaks down harmlessly in the body.
- I gave birth to my placenta,
so I'm actually not sure what happens if you don't birth it.
- I'm gonna say false
because although I don't watch "The Kardashians,"
isn't that what happened to her?
I think it got stuck in her.
- I don't know why, but you have to birth the placenta out.
False.
(playful music)
Which, by the way, I ate my placenta...
Well, I encapsulated it, and I
took pills of my placenta afterwards.
And I couldn't go to sleep,
and you should be super exhausted,
but I was just like, "Nope, need to reorganize my cabinets."
So, get your placenta encapsulated.
It sounds weird, but you should do it.
- By around 20 weeks into your pregnancy,
your amniotic fluid is almost all urine.
- Oh, because the baby pees into your fluid?
I wanna just go with it.
Let's say true.
(board clacks)
- True.
(playful music)
- Just like everything with childbirth,
it does not make any sense
and it sounds disgusting.
(Milana laughs)
- Babies who are born vaginally come into contact
with their mother's vaginal fecal microbiota.
That's the first time I've ever said that word.
This can be dangerous to their health,
so babies need to be wiped down after birth.
- Although that sounds disgusting and crazy,
I think that it's true because when I was giving birth,
I just feel like somebody was talking to me
about something to do with fecal matter,
which sounds gross and very vague.
So, I think it's true.
- I don't think this is true.
I've heard that vaginal births
are actually healthier for babies.
I know that the stuff that they're born with
is really important to them
and that you shouldn't wash it off right away.
False.
(bright music)
- Now, I feel like my baby's missed out on fecal microbiota
because they were C-section babies.
- Studies have found that anal incontinence
can last two years after delivering a child.
I don't know about that,
but I know that I had a pretty bad hemorrhoid situation
after sitting in the hospital,
and that is a direct result
of these babies pushing down on my uterus.
I'm going to go ahead and say true.
- This is probably TMI,
but not anal incontinence, thank God,
but if I'm jump roping too much
or if I'm laughing too hard,
I might pee on myself a little bit.
I think this is true, like it could happen.
(playful music)
That sucks. I am so sorry for those women.
God bless you, you're going to heaven.
- I believe that one.
Listen, that was terrible.
That was horrible.
You had no idea when your whole asshole's inside out.
- You can get pregnant when you're already pregnant.
I wanna say false 'cause I've never heard of this,
and I hope not 'cause that would be weird.
- I've literally never heard of anything like that,
but I guess anything could be true?
- Obviously you can't, right?
Because you're pregnant already, so I'm gonna say false.
- I feel like it's true just because the body is wild.
(playful music)
- Oh, superfetation.
That sounds like a superpower,
like that sounds like something
you should want a little bit, right?
- So two pregnancies at one time
and different gestational periods
so that they're not quite twins?
- So essentially, you can get pregnant twice
and have two different fathers,
and your babies won't be twins.
Does that make them Irish twins?
- Geez.
That's scary.
- Yeah, I'm glad I got my tubes tied.
- The new fun facts about pregnancy I learned today,
the craziest was that the chainsaw was invented
to aid in childbirth.
That sounds insane.
And that amniotic sac fluid is pee
and people are pooping on themselves after giving birth.
Okay, that's enough.
I learned a lot. (Milana laughs)
- I did learn.
I learned that 80% of people tear, not 60.
- The facts that shocked me the most
were that you could get pregnant
while you're already pregnant.
Absolutely something I had no clue about.
- So the fact that your amniotic fluid is mostly all urine,
yes, that makes sense,
but it's still shocking and gross.
But honestly, giving birth is a little gross.
(upbeat music)
