Angelina’s rushed to the doctor!


Angelina Jolie is a little more than six months pregnant and had a recent health scare. Angelina was with her husband, Brad Pitt, in Austin, Texas where she recently injured her ankle. Her ankle was swollen and then her legs became swollen. Angelina insisted on going back home to have this checked out. During the flight home, the pain was become severe and Angelina felt very sick. They were going to make an emergency landing, but Angelina insisted they continue to Los Angeles where she could see her own doctor.

They arrived at the Burbank airport where a fleet of SUVs with blacked-out-windows was waiting along with Angelina physician. Her and Brad’s fear was that she may have had deep-vein thrombosis which is a potential life-threatening blood clot. Luckily, this was not the case. In the end, everything worked out. Angelina is to take it easy and should stop trying to be super mom.

I think this is very common for women who want to continue all their activities prior to them becoming pregnant. This is not always a good idea. Women should take caution when they are pregnant. Women should consider the health of their unborn child as well as their own health. Women should always put the needs of their children before their own needs. Angelina is being selfish by continuing to live the life as if she was not pregnant. I think this scare will convince her to take it easy and to get more rest.
