hi everyone. im pregnant and im out of my mind with worry and anxiety about strokes and heart problems and my health. since im pregnant does this increase my risk or is it rare that happens. my doctor says so but im so emotional and upset thinking about it. please help 😢
Hi
Not knowing your circumstances I can only say that pregnancy and childbirth is the most natural thing in the world so I wouldn’t worry about any of these things. If you are in the UK, look up Teenage pregnancy support NHS, there is a lot of information there that should help with links to other organisations who can help.
Thanks jayn. I seen some stories before about women been pregnant and having a stroke while pregnant or something happen to the brain. and thinking about it made me so scared. Now I know they were probably rare but just cant get it off my mind Xx
Understood. I think every woman in the world who gets pregnant worry about something going wrong, myself included, but they go on to having another child. Take a look at that website and the links for support. Talking to others may give you all the reassurance you need.
thanks so much i definitely will Xx
those concerns are very rare. I’m sure thinking about these things is scary for you but as long as you get proper care from your doctor everything should work out just fine! Somebody that is very ill to begin with may have a higher risk of those things happening but you are young and I am assuming very healthy. Try to relax and do things that make you smile! Stay busy so your mind isn’t always focused on this. everything will work out just fine 
thank u so much really appreciate the advice
