02x08 - Everybody Hurts

[bunniefuu]

[Amy] Previously on

1,000-lb Sisters.

You just kind of stand

and hold your belly.

[camera shutter clicking]

- Oh.

- [Amy farts]

Amanda says she come

visit you the other day

and you had 32-ounce milkshake.

Jerry has been gone for

two, three days.

[Amy speaking]

[all laughing]

She's had four kids,

so she knows what she's doing.

[Tammy speaking]

[Michael] Pull that

other open, hon.

[Amy] No.

[Michael] Oh.

- [dog barking]

- [Tammy] Oh! [bleep]

[bleep]

[Tammy] He scared me.

- Hold on. Hold on.

- [dog barking]

- Hold on. Okay?

- [man speaking indistinctly]

Aw.

[Misty] All the glitter ones

are cool. [Tammy] Yeah.

[Amy] I would buy

one size ahead and stuff

'cause you don't know

how fast they grow.

Yeah.

[Misty] Yeah, that's cute.

[Amy] Oh, yes.

- Amy.

- What?

[both chuckle]

[Amy speaking]

[chuckling]

So when you're hungry

you can [laughs]

[Michael] Uh-huh.

[Tammy speaking]

[laughs]

[Amy] I love the color of this.

[Tammy] Oh, yeah, that's cute.

It's dust. Poof. [laughing]

[Amy] I'm overwhelmed.

I'm realizing

I don't have [bleep].

I don't have

a stroller, dresser.

I was gonna get

the crib later on.

Right now, he's just

gonna sleep in a bassinet.

[Misty] He'll outgrow

that quick, though.

[Amy] Yeah. [Misty] He's

gonna be here before you know it.

[Amy] Oh, yeah. He's already

trying to give me

heart trouble now.

I hope he don't come early.

The baby's gonna be here soon,

and there's just so much to do

and so little time.

To be honest, I haven't done

much shopping

because I'm afraid that

that I could die

during childbirth.

After gastric bypass surgery,

if you get pregnant before

the two years are up,

you're automatically high risk.

Plus I am overweight.

So, I'm always worried that

something's gonna happen.

Either me or the baby

won't make it.

[Misty] Well, this is fun.

Wait till the baby

gets here and it's

- It's It's not as fun as y'all think.

- I know.

[Tammy] Just waiting

till you have to

stay up all night with him.

I know how you get when

you don't get enough sleep.

There might be days

when he just wants Daddy,

you know, or just Mommy,

or just Aunt Tammy or

You're gonna be the baby sitter?

I guess.

All right.

Let's get you checked out.

[laughs]

[Tammy whispering]

All right. Your total today

is $257.87.

What's the matter?

The food.

You do understand that you've

got to buckle down and get this.

You've got to get that surgery

so you can do better.

[Misty] I'm hoping Tammy

can get motivated

to get in the right head space

to get herself

where she needs to be.

But it's gonna take

a lot of self-control,

and I don't think she has it.

[Tammy chuckles]

[Misty] Yes, I am.

[Tammy] Yes, b*tch.

[groans]

[Michael speaking]

[Michael grunts]

[Chris speaking]

Today, Chris is here so we can

work on our food journals.

[Amy] What are y'all doing?

That's good.

Amy walked in my door

looking like a damn bug.

[laughs]

Why? Why, b*tch?

Just why?

[Chris speaking]

He said it, not me.

[Chris laughing]

Anyways

[Chris speaking]

[Amy speaking]

Okay.

[Amy] I've got a big surprise

for Tammy and Chris.

We got

the virtual reality headset

so we can review in

our YouTube channel.

Plus, I'm always trying

to find something that's fun

that can also get Tammy

moving around.

[Chris speaking]

[Michael speaking]

[Tammy] It's creeping,

it's creeping, it's creeping.

- It shot out its web.

- [Amy] Stay!

- Oh, damn!

- [all laughing]

I told y'all a*s to stay.

VR's kind of

a single player game,

but you can

hook it up to your TV

and other people

see what you see.

[phone ringing]

[Tammy speaking]

- Oh, my damn.

- [Michael speaking]

[Amy] Oh, my damn.

Oh, my damn. Oh, my damn.

- [Tammy] Watch the birds.

- Where?

[all laughing]

- Don't poop on me.

- [Tammy laughs]

VR let's you be

whoever you wanna be.

Who knows? You could

download a game

and design your own body.

I can become a supermodel.

America's Next Top Model.

- America's Next Top Horror Show.

- b*tch!

Shut up.

- [video game playing]

- [Tammy laughing]

Feel the burn.

[laughs]

[Amy speaking]

[all laughing]

[Amy speaking]

- Oh, my God. You fell.

- [Tammy] You fell.

[Amy] Oh, my God.

You're squarshed.

Oh, there's that plank

way up yonder.

- [Amy speaking]

- Oh! [bleep]

[all laughing]

[exhales]

[Amy speaking]

I'm kinda really hoping

Tammy likes the VR.

'Cause being immobile like her,

only way she's gonna

make the goal

the doctor gives her is move.

You got to do

some kind of movement

to make some kind of

exercise effort.

[Amy] Down. Over.

Over.

Amy, shut up!

[Amy speaking]

[Amy speaking]

Amy, I can't.

[Chris] All right.

Sit down.

Just

[breathing heavily]

[Chris speaking]

[Amy] Being a high-risk

pregnant person,

anything can happen.

So I think meeting with

a psychic could help me

calm down a little.

Am I gonna have an okay birth?

[woman] You will have

some issues.

[panting]

My entire

[Amy speaking]

- [Tammy] No, I'm good.

- Okay.

[Amy speaking]

Let's rock and roll, porkchops!

[all laughing]

I am kind of excited

to go with her.

I wanna know

what the future holds.

[Amy speaking]

[Tammy coughs]

- Hi!

- Hi.

Hello.

-Oh, hi, guys.

-Hello. I'm Amy. This is Tammy.

Well, my name's Shanda.

- So you guys want to get readings today?

- Yeah.

- And we've never done this before? New.

- No.

[both laugh]

[snorts]

So who wants to go first?

- I will.

- She's just volunteering you.

There are a couple of stones

in front of you.

If you start getting

a little anxious

or kind of nervous

about anything,

this is a piece of obsidian,

and it is, like, the most

grounding stone ever.

Good luck. Give us good luck.

[both laughing]

So we're looking

at some baby questions?

Okay, so first card, sanctuary.

This is probably gonna be,

what I would say

is a way that you find a place

that feels like a shelter,

feels like a home.

It feels like a safe place.

The place you're in now, I

just don't like, it just feels wrong.

I don't know. I get a really

icky vibe from it.

So, new house is

something to think about.

Especially before

you bring in a baby.

You probably should clear

the house. Like, I would say,

like, some sage and, you know,

kind of bless it

and stuff like that.

- Not

- Okay, a ghost cat.

Mostly, I hear a ghost cat

in my kitchen.

Like jumping down

from the table.

That infamous cat thud.

You know, if you have cats

you know exactly

what I'm talking about.

And Amy feels like she's

feeling them in the bathroom.

[Shanda] Any other questions

right now?

I just had gastric bypass

and my doctor told me

to wait two years,

but I was on birth control

when I got pregnant.

That's why I'm scared,

because I could die.

- I don't think it'll be completely smooth.

- [Amy] Wow.

I think, um, you will

have some issues

as far as, like, labor goes.

I feel like there might be

some early term labor,

so you may not go the full term.

I'm leaning toward C section.

If you cry, I will too, 'cause

I'm that kind of person.

Okay,

so we're gonna put you

in the hot spot.

Just three stacks.

Do not have to be even.

So the very first card

I flipped over on this one,

um, is a card that usually

signifies a wedding or birth.

Oh, Lord Jesus. [gasps]

I'm feeling more like

it's a wedding thing.

- I'm not sure it's a baby thing.

- Thank God. Thank you.

- But I see a wedding.

- [Amy] Oh, Lord.

I'm not sure it's the person

that you're with now.

I think if it's going to be,

that person has a few things

to put behind them first,

and I think they might need to

make sure the focus

is on you two.

I think you're still

waiting to start.

I feel like you're still

holding on to some stuff

that you're not ready

to give up yet.

So as far as that goes,

I think, yes, I do.

- But I feel like you don't believe in yourself enough.

- Okay.

You just have to, like,

fight through those fears

and basically just

talk trash to 'em.

You know, trust in yourself,

trust in,

you know, the advice that the

doctors and stuff are giving you.

Remember that they're on

the same side that you are.

Tammy has a little ways to go

as far as her surgery goes.

As long as she is willing

to go the distance

and do what they tell her to,

I don't see that being

an issue at all.

It's just, she's taking it a little

slower than some other people do.

I wish you guys

the best of luck.

You let me know when you get

that wedding invitation out, okay?

[Amy speaking]

[Tammy] Here, kitty, kitty.

Aunty Amy coming for you.

[Amy speaking]

[Tammy speaking]

[Amy speaking]

Kitty, kitty, kitty.

You stupid. [laughs]

[Amy speaking]

Yeah.

[Amy] With Gage coming soon,

I think it's a good time

to sage the house

and get rid of

the negative activity.

Guess that's true.

Oh, God.

- Hold your breath, stupid.

- Okay.

Stand up for me.

Amy. Oh, Lord!

Hey, be nice.

It's stinky, Little.

I can't believe Gage

is almost here.

At this point,

I'm ready to give birth.

- I'm ready for anything.

- I don't blame you

but as long as he's in there

the healthier you'll be.

I know.

The fortune teller told me

that the baby

could be born early.

But if it's born small

it can possibly go in

the incubator and stuff

for months and months.

He's lost weight.

That's not good.

[Amy] Gage being underweight

it scared me because

what if he does come early?

It would be one of

my worst nightmares

because I want my baby

to be healthy.

What do you know

about childbirth and Lamaze?

- Hee, hee, hoo. Hee, hee, hoo.

- [laughs]

Amy seems a little

intimidated and worried

about childbirth.

Amy Ew!

[upbeat music playing]

What's up?

[Chris speaking]

[siren wailing]

Tammy and Chris! Come outside.

- Time to work out. Let's go!

- [chuckling]

Let's go. Let's go!

[Chris speaking]

Hello, Chris. How are you?

I'm Tony.

Time for some fun.

- [Tammy laughs]

- [Tony] For now.

Okay, so today, I'm meeting

Tammy and Chris,

and what I'm hoping

to do is teach them

some things that they

can do on their own.

And mainly I'm gonna be

getting a feel for what they can do

and hopefully push them out

of their comfort zone a little bit.

Because most people can do

more than what they think they can.

Very nice to meet you.

You can use your,

your walker here.

I want you just to stand up

and sit down on your chair.

You can use that for balance,

but three times,

that's all I want you to do.

I want you to do

just a body weight squat

so you don't have

to squat down really low,

but I want you to put your feet a

little bit wider than your shoulders,

and just bend your knees

a little bit.

Till you feel

a good seated position.

Then when you feel like you're

starting about as low as you can go,

stand back up.

And so just a smooth

controlled movement.

So just three times,

up and down.

Good.

My butt hurts. [laughs]

[laughing]

Okay, so flashbacks

to gym class.

I want you to have a seat

on the wall over there.

- You remember these?

- Oh.

Yes.

Yeah. So just squat

about halfway down.

Lean flat up against the wall.

Move your feet out a little

bit further in front of you.

There you go.

[Chris speaking]

Very good. Come on,

back up. Nice work.

[all laughing]

Now we're gonna do a very

simple bicep curl next.

Yep. Just back and forth.

Very good.

When was the last time

you worked out on purpose?

Okay.

When was your last time

you worked out?

'99.

I ain't worked out

since high school.

It's a whole lot harder now

when you haven't done it

in 20 years.

All I'm gonna say is

baby steps. [laughs]

[Tony] So what's

really important,

if you're working with me,

we work when we can work,

we rest when

we have to rest, okay?

[Tony] Apparently

you wanna work, right?

You wanna work. Hey,

no resting for me, okay?

Yeah. You can go out like that.

You can do a curl

and then add a press to it.

So put those

two exercise together.

[Tony] Nice job. Excellent.

And you're doing great.

Good. Can you hold them both?

At chest height.

Can you stand up

with them there?

You can try?

Let's get it. Very good.

Awesome. Excellent.

Good. That's perfect.

So one of the things

I don't think Tammy realizes

is how strong she truly is

just from, you know, moving

herself around every day.

Nice job. Excellent.

So, before I came

out here today,

if someone said, "Hey, you're

gonna do a set of squats with weights,"

what would you tell 'em?

Yeah. "Are you crazy?" Exactly.

There's a whole lot more

that you're capable of

than you probably believe

that you're capable of.

And you just

showed it right there.

And so I think as she

continues to lose weight,

she's gonna maintain

a lot of that muscle.

And she's gonna be amazed

with what she's able to accomplish.

What I'd like you to do

every single day,

pick five or six of these

exercise that we did.

A little bit better

every single day

- and a year from now you win. Deal?

- Deal.

Thanks for letting me

work with you.

You guys did great.

- Thank you.

- I'm very proud of you.

[panting]

[Tammy groans]

I don't know what the [bleep]

to do. I can't get it out.

[bleep]

[producer] Okay. [man] Yeah?

Yeah.

[Michael speaking]

[Amy speaking]

[Hillary] Hi. Don't be afraid

of the ba*ls.

- [Tammy] Hello.

- Hi.

No, I promise.

I actually got a special one.

You wanna talk about

having some babies?

Can we go over there

and sit on my patio?

- It's more in the shade and

- Perfect. Absolutely.

[Amy] I need Tammy

to come with me

to help learn the steps too

so that if I do go into labor,

Michael's at work, she's there.

She can calm me down because

I know I'm gonna be panicky.

What do you know

about childbirth?

Hee, hee, hoo. Hee, hee, hoo.

[laughing]

So that's what a lot of people

think about Lamaze,

'cause that's what

it used to be, right?

It used to only be

about pattern breathing.

But now Lamaze

is actually all about

what's the best way

to have a baby.

And what's gonna help you

bring you comfort, right?

All right. So I brought you

a folder full of stuff.

This is safe positions that

you can labor in and push in

if you have an epidural.

[Amy speaking]

- No.

- [Tammy speaking]

Oh, okay, sorry.

[laughs] It's, um

My first impression of Amy is

she seems a little intimidated,

um, and worried

about childbirth.

I think labor might be

a bit of a shock for her.

So, Michael,

if you lift this leg,

I'm gonna have you

put that ball right in there.

- [Amy speaking]

- [Hillary] Yeah. Perfect.

- [Tammy] Ew.

- So what this ball is doing

is keeping your hips

nice and open so,

and so that the baby

can come down

and put pressure

and open her cervix

Exactly.

You sure you haven't

done this before?

Yeah, all right.

I can leave. Okay. See you.

[laughs] Tammy's gonna

teach now.

[Tammy] Amy.

Nasty a*s.

We're gonna talk about massagers

because it's good to have

coping techniques for labor.

You ready? All you're gonna do

is roll this on her lower back.

So all I'm doing

with that is rolling it

[laughing]

[Hillary] And just rolling

up and down, right?

And putting that

pressure right on,

on the low back

and on your pelvis as well.

I mean, I wasn't

gonna say anything.

[groans]

So, I have a super cool activity

we can do to start

talking about dilation.

- Okay.

- Okay. You ready, Michael?

Here you go.

So there's a ping pong ball

in the balloon.

The ping pong ball

is the baby's head.

The balloon is your uterus.

What you want to do

is then blow it up, right?

'Cause your uterus

gets about ten times the size

of what it usually is

when you're pregnant, so

[blowing]

[Hillary laughs]

[Tammy speaking]

Growing up she peed

on my leg one time.

[Amy] She was making me laugh

when we were on the floor watching TV.

I laughed so hard I peed oh her.

[Hillary] So,

when you're pregnant,

you're having

Braxton Hicks contractions,

which are contracting like this.

- Yeah.

- Right?

When you are in labor,

your contractions start to go

from the top to the bottom,

and what that's doing

is then pushing

that baby's head down

into your cervix.

And as the cervix contracts

and the harder

and the longer it contracts

Hopefully not. I'd really hope

it's not going to.

So it goes down, right?

And then eventually

it will dilate,

and see how even the head

is way down there.

- You can see it there now, right?

- Yeah.

[Hillary] Michael's

almost got it.

So, a lot of times

they just like pop out,

is really what

we want to happen.

And [laughs] Are you scared?

Yeah, please don't pop.

[bleep]

[Hillary] I'm so sorry.

That means I ruptured

your uterus and I apologize.

[Tammy speaking]

Because I know

that you have diabetes

and you're high-risk,

and I know that

you're plus size, right?

So, I need you to know

that you are at greater risk

of needing to have caesarian

surgery to have your baby.

- So I wanna make sure

- Yes.

- Okay.

- Yes, that's a C section. Yeah.

Thank you so much for having me.

- [Amy] Thank you.

- Thank you.

[producer]

What's wrong with you?

I'd been having contractions

pretty much that whole day,

and then it started

getting worse.

[indistinct chatter]

[breathing heavily]

[Tammy groans]

My entire

[indistinct chatter]

- [Tammy breathing heavily]

- [woman speaking indistinctly]

Move them back and forth.

[grunts]

[Tammy grunts]

[crying]

[producer] Hey, Danny, can you

fly down here real fast, please?

[Tammy groans]

[bleep]

[breathing heavily]

[Tammy] I always have leg pains,

but I've been trying to

exercise and move around more,

and it only makes it worse.

It's hard for me to work out.

It's hard for me to exercise.

If I was able to do that stuff

it might help me

lose more weight.

- [man] Yeah?

- Yeah.

[sobbing]

[Amy] I'd been

having contractions

pretty much that whole day.

And then it started

getting worse.

And then I didn't say

nothing about it

until they were to the point

where I was crying.

Um, I'm Amy Halterman

and I've been

having contractions.

I think they like

five minutes apart.

Yeah.

All right. Bye.

[Tammy] They said Amy

gotta go to the hospital.

[Tammy speaking]

Ow.

[Amy muttering]

[Tammy] Next time on

1000-lb Sisters.

[Chris speaking]

[exhales]

It's hard because Chris hasn't

been checking in on me as much

as he said he would.

[Amy] I'm trying to stay calm,

but there's a lot of stuff

that can go wrong.

[doctor] How are you doing?

I can't [bleep].

I'm scared about having two

major surgeries in one year.

My stomach has not healed up

from the last surgery.

- [nurse] You ready?

- Yeah.

All right.

Bye.
