How To Deal With 4 Common Pregnancy Complications

Being pregnant is a magical, glorious time for many women. You get to spend nearly a year bonding with yourself and your unborn child. Truthfully speaking though, not everyone has a flawless experience with pregnancy.

When I went in for my first OBGYN appointment as an expectant mother, I was told that there was a cyst on my umbilical cord and that I would need to start seeing a high-risk doctor.

It was horrifying and made me realize that there are certain health complications one can experience while being pregnant. Even huge stars, like Remy Ma, have dealt with complexities – in early 2017 it was revealed that she had suffered a miscarriage and would not be able to carry children again.

The key to coping with pregnancy complications is being well versed in how to deal with them and keeping a strong spirit. Below, I will share a few common obstacles and shed light on what to do if you encounter them.
