South Carolina mom forced to carry fetus with no heartbeat for weeks due to strict laws: ‘My baby is dead'
Weber shared a video on Instagram detailing her situation. 'I am posting my updates on Instagram, since I have only been updated on TikTok. I recorded this minutes after finding this information out, so not everything was worded correctly. I grew up in a very conservative household, but I have not been conservative since I was very young. I am not conservative and I did NOT vote for Trump. It was not my choice to stand outside planned parenthood. I grew up in a cult,' she wrote.
In the video, she claimed that she came to know the fetus in her womb had no heartbeat, and she decided to seek medical help. 'My baby has been sitting inside me dead for three weeks already,' Weber said in the viral video. 'And now I have to wait another week knowing my baby is dead to do anything about it,' she continued.
'The baby stopped growing at 6 weeks and one day,' she told People. She added, 'With my HG and all of that, I'm so sick. I have three kids, and waiting around to go into a mini-labor is just hard.' Weber has three daughters Neveah, Story, and Finley. She had a son who died in 2018 due to Sudden Infant Death Syndrome (SIDS).
'My body was not recognizing that I wasn't pregnant anymore. I was still completely bedridden with nausea, throwing up all the time,' Weber told the outlet, adding, 'The baby had not grown at all. There's still no heartbeat. At that point, I was almost 10 weeks.' Also Read: Woman's gender reveal party ruined after wrong paternity test led to abortion, only to find out it was incorrect
'My baby didn't have a heartbeat, and it still prevented me from getting care,' she said, recalling that she was asked by the medical professionals if her pregnancy was 'wanted'.
'I can't believe that I'm being forced to carry around my dead baby. They know it's gone, they know it's dead, they know it's stopped developing, and now I'm being forced to carry it… there's really no feeling like when your womb becomes a tomb,' she told the outlet.

Fitness coach reveals 7 suprisingly 'healthy' weight loss habits that actually slowed down her progress
Doing everything right but the number on weighing scale still won't change? Maybe you are not really doing everything right. Focus on strategy rather than just effort for effective weight management. Between all the friendly advice and weight loss tips on social media, it is easy to get caught up in a jumble of what to do and what not to do. Sometimes, even adopting a few bad habit, thinking that they would actually do you good. Fitness coach Aarja Bedi took to Instagram recently (July) to talk about the same. 'I really thought I was doing everything right… Fruit juice instead of Coke. Granola bars instead of chips. Gluten-free snacks. But my body wasn't changing — I was stuck. And that's because fat loss doesn't reward you for effort... it rewards you for strategy,' she wrote in her Instagram post. 'Here are 7 things I used to do when I thought I was being 'healthy' — but they actually held me back from losing fat. If you're doing these too, now you know what to fix. Because being healthy and losing fat aren't always the same thing,' she said. Weightloss habits that are actually bad: These are the observations she made: Fruit juice in the morning: I thought it was 'fresh and clean'... but it was just sugar. 2. Overeating 'healthy' snacks like granola: Fat loss isn't about health claims, it's about portions. 3. Buying gluten-free junk: Just because it's gluten-free doesn't mean it's fat-loss friendly. 4. Skipping meals thinking I was saving calories, only to binge hard later. 5. Making protein shakes into dessert bowls: 600-cal 'snacks' in disguise. 6. Eating too clean during the week, then 'cheat days' on weekends: Basically erasing my progress. 7. Obsessing over workouts but ignoring my food: Lifting heavy won't save you from a calorie surplus.

Health coach calls lists the worst breakfast options for hormonal health: Is your Sunday brekkie on this list?
'Your breakfast might feel light and healthy, but it could be messing with your hormones," says Mankirat Kaur, a health coach in a recent Instagram post. Indians overall do not pay much heed to beginning the day on a healthy note with a balanced breakfast. It should have protein, carbs, and also some good fats, instead, we end up choosing the regular old poha or the plain butter toast. It does not give any nutrition and only adds on the bad calories. Poha is among the worst breakfast options for your overall health (Pexels). Mankirat, therefore, listed a few usual suspects when it comes to bad breakfast options for your hormonal health and what to replace them with. Check it out: Cereals with milk Packed with sugar & low in protein, leading to insulin spikes & energy crashes. Better option: Swap for homemade granola with nuts/seeds + Greek yogurt for better blood sugar control. Coffee/tea with biscuits No real nutrition, just empty carbs that leave you hungry & craving more sugar. Better option: Have coffee/tea after a balanced meal, and replace biscuits with a handful of nuts or an egg. Sandwich Refined bread + processed fillings = blood sugar spikes & inflammation. Better option: Use whole grain/millet bread, add a protein like eggs/paneer, and load up on fiber-rich veggies. Upma/Poha While these seem healthy, they're mostly just carbs, which can lead to quick hunger spikes. Better option: 50% of it should have veggies , with 60% portion of upma/poha, and pair it with a protein source like paneer, sprouts, or curd for better satiety. Fruit juice + toast Sounds light, right? But it's just a sugar bomb. No protein, no fiber = insulin spike + zero satiety. Better option: Eat a whole fruit instead (fiber!) + pair it with nut butter toast or eggs for protein. Instant oats (flavored ones) Loaded with hidden sugars and very low in fiber or protein. Causes sugar crashes and cravings mid-morning. Better option: Make plain rolled oats, add chia seeds, nut butter, and some fruit for balanced nutrition. Only fruits for breakfast Not enough to fuel your body. Just carbs = quick hunger and mood swings. Better option: Pair your fruit with some protein like Greek yogurt, boiled eggs, or cottage cheese. 'Breakfast sets the tone for your hormones & energy all day! Prioritize protein, fiber & healthy fats to keep your metabolism, hormones, and energy levels in check,' she ended her post.
