Original story:
A dehydrated pregnant woman presented refusing to drink any fluid for the last 2 days. Husband is frantic offering every possible beverage under the sun!
The patient adamantly refuses. She is willing to get IV fluid because it will go in her vein and doesn’t risk crushing the baby… puzzled looks by me. Husband is still freaking out. Turns out she had a huge craving for popcorn 2 nights ago and ate 2 bags of microwave popcorn. However, she remembered from her grade school science teacher that popcorn will swell if you add fluid to it. So she ran to the kitchen and poured water over some popcorn and watched in horror that it swelled up. The patient is CONVINCED that if she drinks any fluid the popcorn will swell up and crush her baby…
During the visit I had to resist putting my palm to my face and I smiled politely while explaining how the body works. She didn’t get it. I had to actually draw stick people with bubble bellies to explain where food is and where the uterus is!!! It took me, another nurse, and a doctor to convince her the baby would not be crushed and she needed to drink some fluid!!!

Who used to think watermelon 🍉 seeds grows from the stomach if swallowed 😂😂😂
You know maybe we should have pysch evaluations and the such before allowing people to get pregnant
I don't think that popcorn expands in stomach acid so
The most expensive bottle of kirklan water ever.
as crazy as she sounds, that's the kind of thing my OCD would make me believe. mental health during and after pregnancy isn't given as much attention as it should be, a lot of "crazy moms" can be women experiencing more intense mental issues or even first time mental issues. still good to explain how anatomy works, but i can promise ocd doesn't care about what's actually possible.
Comment on peut laisser ce genre de personnes avoir un bébé… pardon mais même avec des explications claires c’est pas possible d’avoir ce niveau d’ignorance
Have CPS on standby. Lack of intelligence will lead to abuse.
It seems that pregnant women brain work the same all over the world 😂
Forget about stomach acid?
Its hard to argue with a smart person, its impossible to argue with an idiot.
A bit idiotic but the fact that she refused to drink any kind of liquid for her baby is just amazing
I mean, to be fair, the baby is taking up a lot of space on her midsection, I can understand the concern. And it's better for her to be safe than sorry. obviously she should not have waited two days, but it's better than her slamming a pack of cigarettes and a bottle of wine because it goes to her lungs and liver and not her uterus.
she does know that food doesn't just sit in the stomach after you eat it…right? Like even if she hasn't excreted it yet, it's well into intestines and no longer popcorn
Am i the only one who saw the name Matilda??
The govt all over the world should make a new law and parental license demanding all parents to have at least a standard or bare minimum IQ if they want to have kids
this is what the gop had done to sex ed in red states. this and “creationism”
When I was 4 I asked my pregnant aunt "when you eat, does the food fall all over the baby?"
I mean her math is mathing but not
THIS HOWEVER DOES APPLY TO CHIA SEEDS. YOU CAN GET A BLOCKED BOWEL SO BE CAREFUL. dont eat an entire cup of chia please. it won't hurt your baby though but it will hurt you.
It’s my b-day🎉
