How do I know if my pregnancy is normal?
Part of it depends on how the pregnancy started.
You mean if I had fertility treatment and might have multiples, making it high risk.
Or if you were surrounded by people in black robes and chanting, then the pregnancy might
not be normal.
I don’t think I’m going look like that first guy with a chest burster in Aliens.
Have you ever seen a video of a C-section? It isn’t far off.
Please don’t get into that. I want to know how to know if the pregnancy isn’t normal.
If you have high risk medical problems like thyroid disease, ***, Hepatitis C, lupus,
cancer or similar health challenges, the pregnancy is classified as high risk.
I know it isn’t normal if I end up on the extreme pregnancy reality shows.
At least you won’t end up on the “I didn’t know I was pregnant” shows.
What are warning signs that something is wrong?
Bleeding is always a reason to go to the ER. It could be a miscarriage or a detached placenta.
That much I knew.
If you start having severe headaches and blurry vision, you need to get to a doctor.
That could be from the dehydration from the morning sickness.
That’s one possible cause. The other is high blood pressure or pre-eclampsia, which
is life threatening.
I heard that diabetes is dangerous, but I don’t have it.
Blood sugar fluctuations caused by pregnancy can threaten the health of a woman with diabetes.
And you could develop diabetes during the pregnancy.
That’s what the doctor said when I had to drink an awful concoction with an additional
fruit flavoring. More than that, I wonder if the baby is going to come out malformed.
Unless you have an untreated STD, you’re smoking crack, using bath salts or exposed
to weird green toxins leaking through the walls, there’s nothing to be worried about.
Or, rather, the odds are no worse than normal if you don’t fall into those categories.
I think you watch too many horror videos.
