PSA: When in doubt go to the ER or call your doctor!

Jennifer • Married 10/4/14 SAHM with 2 girls❤️

Hi ladies, I just needed to vent a little about something. I keep seeing women post about bleeding and severe cramping in pregnancy and they ask what to do. IF THERE IS EVER A DOUBT IN YOUR MIND THAT SOMETHING IS WRONG GO TO THE ER OR CALL YOUR DOCTOR. I just saw a post where someone took a pic of the “spotting” they were having and asked if it was normal. The whole wad of toilet paper was covered in bright red blood and what looked like a clot on it. That’s not normal! Why even waste time asking people what to do when you could got to the hospital?! Most of us aren’t doctors or nurses and we just go by what we have heard before but that doesn’t make us right. Yes I know that spotting is considered normal but why not get checked out just to be safe? Most of us who are pregnant have had cramps but if the cramps are really painful then why not let your doctor know? I’m sorry for the rant but there is a precious life growing inside why take strangers advice on an app over your trusted doctors medical advice?
