Note to self: When you are a bit of a hypochondriac, don't watch any shows on women dying after having their baby!!!!
So, I was doing some weights yesterday in my living room and started watching Oprah. I don't watch tv really ever during the day unless it's something good or just for background noise. The show was about dad's who have raised their children all alone for one reason or another. So they come to this one guy who was fairly young and he was showing pics of him and his wife and her all pregnant and happy pointing at her belly, then he showed a pic of his wife having a c section (no graphic pics just her head and the baby when she came out) and then he said this is the only picture I have of them 2 together. I SHOULD have known right there that I needed to turn it off!! Well, I didn't, (dumb!). Apparently the woman had a C section and then a few hours later the dr came in the room and said "let's go see your baby" so she got up and said she feels light headed then DIED from a blood clot. REALLY?? So, me being the panicky person I am thinking everything that happens to everyone else WILL FOR SURE happen to me, I am like great, now I'm going to die from a blood clot from having a baby, great, lovely, nice knowing everyone!!! I emailed Mike and asked him how I can prevent blood clots. He immediately said oh gosh, what did you watch now? haha. I told him and he said TURN THAT CRAP OFF! I'm like I know I know, I shouldn't have watched it knowing how I am, but I did and the damage is done. He made me feel alittle better and said it's usually when people aren't active or are on bedrest or something and that I was pretty active so I will be fine. Who knows if he's telling me the truth or just trying to make me feel better, but it didn't really work. Now I'm more scared than EVER to have a baby. ugh. maybe they can just give me something to knock me out completely during labor! Is that possible? I'm sure i will be so annoying they will want to anyways. So, from now on any shows about having babies I'm banned from. Probably a good thing. :)

WOW JILLY..CAN'T BELIEVE YOU WATCHED THAT.
ReplyDeleteTHINGS DO HAPPEN BUT NO REASON TO BELIEVE IT WILL HAPPEN TO YOU. THEY SHOULDN'T HAVE GOTTEN HER UP SO SOON AFTERWARDS MAYBE. MIKE IS CORRECT WITH WHAT HE SAID. PEOPLE THAT ARE SUSCEPTIBLE ARE SEDENTARY FOR LONG PERIORDS OF TIME. MAYBE SHE WAS BEDRIDDEN FOR A WHILE BEFORE HAVING THE BABY. SOMETIMES THE DR PUTS THE MOM ON BEDREST FOR A WHILE IF SHE'S HAVING A ROUGH PREGNANCY..YOU JUST NEVER KNOW, ESPECIALLY WITH IT BEING YOUR FIRST ONE. QUIT WORRYING SO MUCH. YOU ARE IN GOOD HEALTH SO THERE SHOULDN'T BE ANY PROBLEMS AND YOU PROBABLY WON'T NEED A C-SECTION.
HEY, HOW DID THE DOG SITUATION TURN OUT?
Thanks for the reassurance. I know, I need to quit worrying about things that are out of my control pretty much. I have always been bad about that. Well, I have heard the kids out there playing with them a few times since and they were in the front yard (tied of thought) while the dad was working on his car, I guess atleast they got a change in scenery. I think they get let in at night into the garage. I'm not sure what the living situation is like in there, but I don't know. I still don't like it, but they are being fed and have water. I was jsut worrying about it WAY too much, so I have had to chill out on thinking about it so much. If I ever see the parents, I will say something, but I haven't yet.
