Q: Don't think that just because the character is fictional, it's silly to cry. People can go through a similar mourning process for fictional characters as they do for real people in their life, though it may be less extreme. Know that you are completely justified in your sadness and don't try to suppress feelings of grief. You might be angry that your character has died. Sometimes character deaths come out of the blue and may seem completely unnecessary. You may be furious at the author, or at another character who may have caused their death. Let yourself feel these emotions and express them in a healthy way. Exercise as a way to let out your anger. Even taking a brisk walk to clear your head can help. Talk about your anger. Either with other fans or with friends and family, talk about how unjust it was for this character to die. This can help you work through your feelings of anger. Try to talk about your anger calmly - taking your anger out on other people will only make you feel worse if anything.

Writing a letter to your favorite fictional character is a way to feel that you have directly expressed to them your love and your sadness over their death. You may feel silly at first writing to a fictional character. But writing is proven to be very therapeutic, especially when you write directly to someone and express your feelings. Don't expect to feel better immediately. Grief is a process that takes different amounts of time for everyone. Especially if this death came out of the blue, it can take a while to feel stable and better. Whenever you catch yourself thinking that you should be over the death, remember that there is no correct timetable to get over your sadness. Pamper yourself a little bit as you are grieving for this character. This is an important way of acknowledging to yourself that you are going through a difficult time. Do one thing a day, whether it be eating your favorite food or sleeping in a little, to give yourself a little boost. At one point or another, everyone has felt the loss of a fictional character. Just because they are not real, that does not mean you don't form attachments to them. In fact, being sad at a character's death is human and it shows that you have a big capacity for empathy. If you have friends who have read the book or watched the movie or series with your character, talk to them about how sad you are. An important step in getting over grief is to express it. People who are close to you are a great resource because they love and understand you. Sometimes it's helpful to find people outside your circle who were also affected by the character's death. It's been proven that belonging to fan communities can provide you strong emotional support. Talking to fellow fans will help you get your emotions out of your system and make you feel like you aren't alone in feeling upset or sad. Engage with other fans on official or fan websites. Many of these have discussion boards where you can talk about the death of your character. Be careful about what information you give about yourself. Don't give out personal information like your phone number. Consider using a pseudonym when talking with other fans.
A: Cry as much as you want. Allow yourself to feel angry. Write a letter to your character. Give yourself time. Practice self-care. Don't judge yourself. Talk to friends. Find fans online.

Q: If you have preeclampsia, this is dangerous for both you and the baby. You are at risk of: Seizures Stroke Severe bleeding Placental abruption Babies born before 37 weeks are considered premature. They are at an increased risk of breathing problems and bleeding. If possible, your doctor may try to prolong your pregnancy to get you closer to the 37 week mark. However, if it is necessary to deliver your baby before 37 weeks, your doctor may recommend a steroid injection. A steroid injection to help the lungs develop faster if your baby is born at 34 weeks or younger. However, it may take 24 to 48 hours to give the steroids time to take effect.

The doctor will likely examine your cervix to determine if it is preparing for delivery. If so it will: Start to open. The doctor will refer to this as dilating. Get thinner. The doctor may call this effacing. Soften. The doctor may say that your cervix is ripening. The doctor may want you to stay in the hospital to be watched until your delivery.

A: Talk to your doctor about the risks. Discuss your baby's age with your doctor. Determine if your body is preparing for delivery. Go to the hospital for monitoring. Understand that bed rest is unlikely to help.

Q: Your stomach growling is caused by your digestive system doing what it's supposed to do: mixing food, fluids, and gastric juices and pushing them through the intestinal tract. The rumbling occurs when the walls of your gastrointestinal tract contracts and relaxes to squeeze everything through the intestines. Even with a proper diet, growling is bound to happen sometimes and is no reason to be embarrassed. When you eat too much food, it will put your digestive system into overdrive. The growling can occur more often when this happens, because there is more to move through the intestines. When your stomach has been empty for two hours, the growling sounds louder. This is because there is little or nothing in the stomach to absorb or muffle the noise. When you go hours without eating, your body releases hormones that let the brain know it's time to clear anything left in the stomach to make room for whatever food is to come. Have small, healthy snacks with you at all times. Constantly hydrate yourself with liquids. Use water, juice, tea, etc. Certain carbs are resistant to digestion. Don't avoid carbs completely because they help supply you with energy and play a main role in the health of your digestive tract. Simply eat them in moderation to keep your stomach healthy but less likely to growl. Resistant starch: potatoes or pasta that has been cooled after cooking, sourdough bread, and unripe fruit. Insoluble fiber: whole-wheat flour, wheat bran, cabbage, lettuce, and bell peppers Sugar: apples, pears, and broccoli Remember that growling can happen both when you've just eaten and when you haven't eaten in a while. To avoid over-eating and excessive stomach growling, know when you're actually hungry. Learning the timing scheme your normal eating regimen is the best way to keep track and avoid mindless eating. People who swallow a lot of air usually experience more stomach growling than others. If you eat too fast or talk a lot while eating, you are likely swallowing a lot of air. Eat more slowly to avoid this.
A:
Understand what is normal. Try not to eat large meals before class. Avoid an empty stomach. Limit indigestible foods. Know your hunger cues. Eat slowly and chew properly.
