00:00 What was the biggest challenge for you, Doc, in terms of adjustment?
00:04 One, because I said that it's not a geriatric pregnancy anymore.
00:10 They call it advanced maternal age.
00:14 So actually, it was a very complicated pregnancy.
00:17 So it was really all throughout.
00:19 So it was a bit stressful.
00:22 Wait, Doc, just to clarify, is geriatrics different from advanced maternal age?
00:27 No, they retired it.
00:30 They retired the term geriatric pregnancy.
00:33 So it's now called advanced maternal age.
00:37 Because of that, there's a high risk, and there are a lot of complications.
00:42 And then up to the birth, there are complications.
00:47 But post-birth, actually, I prepared everything.
00:50 Because I read it.
00:51 What is the retro-immune disorder?
00:53 What is cesarean section?
00:56 I studied all of that.
00:58 What I didn't expect was that breastfeeding is so difficult.
01:01 That's where I was really, because I said, everyone was warning in the labor, right?
01:07 The epidural, the pain, they said, "Ana, you won't be able to sleep anymore.
01:12 When she comes out, you won't be able to sleep."
01:14 Okay, I expected that. I was prepared.
01:17 What I wasn't prepared for was breastfeeding.
01:19 Because in movies, TV shows, when they show breastfeeding, it's like serene.
01:25 It's like they'll just put the baby in the mouth and it's okay.
01:28 It's like you think it's just like you're sipping wine.
01:32 But it's not.
01:35 But it's brutal.
01:37 Yes, it's a bit brutal. I think that's the perfect term.
01:41 Maybe it comes easy to others, but to others, it's not as easy as like you said in the movies.
01:47 So I really had empathy for that.
01:49 Because the push for breastfeeding is strong, right?
01:52 It's best, and it still is the best.
01:54 And then I realized that, okay, we are doing our best.
01:59 And so we need to understand that it's hard for moms.
02:04 In breastfeeding, for example, I make just enough.
02:08 Sorry, I'm sorry. I don't know bodily fluids.
02:11 But I produce just enough, but not too much.
02:14 So I can't even pump. I can't even store.
02:16 It's like that.
02:17 So my baby's always with me, Pia. Always with me.
