Chelsea Houska from Teen Mom 2 shared a scary moment on Twitter! She experienced something terrifying, and wanted to help ensure others didn't go through the same pain.
She tweeted her story about the incident, and fans were shocked to read about it. Keep reading to find out what happened!
Chelsea Houska is back at it on Twitter revealing some pretty personal information. This time around, she shared a crazy experience that could have resulted in her death! Now, we don’t want to blow this out of proportion, but what happened to her is really quite serious.
Chelsea and her husband are usually very candid on social media. A while back, Cole DeBoer shared a sweet Instagram post celebrating his wife and their Valentine’s Day date night. However, what caught fans’ attention was a comment from Chelsea, discussing why it’s difficult for the couple to get time alone.
She was extremely honest and didn’t hold back about her mental health.
“After giving birth, I personally go through a period of what I would say is pretty severe postpartum anxiety,” wrote the 16 and Pregnant alum. She added, “It was by far the worst after having Watson.”
“For me, leaving them to go out just causes a lot of stress and anxiety,” confessed the 27-year-old.
It’s incredibly brave of the star to emotionally bare-all on social media, especially when it comes to stress and mental health. This time around, she’s on Twitter to talk about her near-death experience.
“So I want to share something that’s probably going to seem really random,” her tweet began. “But I feel like I can’t be the only person that wouldn’t have known what to do in this type of situation.”
“A couple of weeks ago, I was rushing to eat (steak) and I started choking. SERIOUSLY choking. It would not move up & I could not swallow,” read her second tweet.
Choking is a serious matter! According to the National Safety Council, “choking is the fourth leading cause of unintentional death.” Thousands of people die from choking every year.
“Luckily, Cole was home and he performed the Heimlich and was able to get it out! All I kept thinking about was WHAT IF I had been home alone?” she wrote.
The Teen Mom then shared a video of how to perform the Heimlich Maneuver on oneself.
“So I felt the need to share a video on what to do if you are ever alone and start to choke, as well as a video on how to perform the heimlich on someone else.”
Who’d have thought we’d be getting first aid information from Chelsea!
She then made light of the situation, tweeting, “As if Cole doesn’t have to deal with enough of my shit already, he can now add saving my life from steak to that list.”
One Twitter user responded, “My solution? Don’t eat meat.”
I’d like to point out that people can choke on anything, and that is NOT a proper solution. Other users tweeted about their choking experiences and what they did to resolve the issue.
“Sixish months ago my 3 year old started choking and I froze. This kid stuck her fingers down her throat and PULLED THAT S**T OUT HERSELF. I refreshed how to do the Heimlich on a kid and TWO DAYS LATER she did it again,” tweeted another user.
Scary stuff! Chelsea recently tweeted about some other fears of hers.
“Has anyone gone on a Disney Cruise? I have a question,” she tweeted. “My family went when I was like 13 but I don’t remember….is it super safe? Are the railings high enough? Did you feel safe just letting the kids run around?”
Another user named Katie responded. “Brooks is about as wild & crazy as they come, and I was SO worried about that…We were REALLY strict on ‘your feet stay on the floor. No climbing, even to sit in a chair,’” she wrote.
“We watched all the cruise vlogs and analyzed everything also,” Chelsea responded. “But then after an article I read today I am paranoid all over again!”
Although it’s unsure what articles Chelsea was reading, another Twitter user hopped onto the thread.
“Chelsea the toddler that drowned was dropped by the grandfather when he hung the child out the window,” they wrote. “Why in the heck would someone do that?”
I think we can all agree that’s wildly different than having a kid slip and fall off a deck, but either way being on such a large boat does mean you have to be concerned about safety!
