How do you keep your cool?

Question

pregnant 20 weeks with a rainbow baby, every single symptom I have sends me straight to google and makes me so nervous. My headache today is now a potential symptom of pre-eclampsia because my fingers are a little swollen too although my blood pressure is fine....I have an appointment with my OBGYN in the morning but l really need to learn some tips on how to not see every symptom as something wrong! Any tips?

Answer

Girl stay off google. Drink some water and the swelling goes away.

Answer

Also swelling and headaches are normal during pregnancy. It doesn’t necessarily mean something serious. Just bring it up at your appointment and like I said if they are concerned they will check it out.

Answer

My doctor says it's fine to Google as long as I bring my concerns to her so she can assess the situation herself. It's totally ok and normal to be concerned and being informed of risks and symptoms of various complications is important! Just keep reminding yourself that if there is a problem then the doctor will know what to do, and if your research has led to an early diagnosis then you're even better off! 😊

Answer

Stop googling. Even my OB told me to stop it. Also, women on this app tend to tell everyone to go to the ER for every little thing. I used the on call OB nurse a lot. They are real medical professionals and if they think what you are telling them is something to check on, they will have you come in. Stressing can hurt you and the baby. I would stay off google and if you have questions or concerns call your nurse.

Answer

I’m always worrying about preeclampsia and gestational diabetes. Too bad worrying doesn’t help or we’d be in the clear! 😂 Ina May Gaskin suggests eating a mostly whole foods diet with lots of vegetarian protein, and of course drinking lots of water. Eating well and staying hydrated is the best thing we can do to stay healthy throughout our pregnancies! ✨

Answer

Yes no Google its horrible. Told me I had a brain tumor 🙄

Answer

Stay far away from google! Lol
