Angelina’s Pregnancy Problems

It doesn’t seem to be second-time lucky for pregnant Angelina Jolie.
The actress, whose first paternal child, Shiloh, was born nearly two years ago, is suffering from a number of different pregnancy-related illnesses this time around, including edema, gestational diabetes, fatigue and nausea.
“Angie has gestational diabetes,” a source revealed recently. “She found out about a month ago and has been trying to keep it under wraps. She’s been seeing a nutritionist about it – frequently.”
In order to fight the illness, Jolie has been forced to “drastically change” her diet, something that has been difficult for the 32-year-old, whose pregnancy cravings this time have included Oreos and Doritos.
As if diabetes wasn’t enough of a burden for the star, Angie is also suffering from painful edema, which is a swelling of the ankles and feet caused by fluid buildup. A source said: “Her feet are so swollen that her shoes have gone up a half size at least.”
And looking after her tribe of children (Maddox, Zahara, Pax, and Shiloh) while partner Brad Pitt is away in Texas filming Tree of Life has taken its toll on Jolie, who is “constantly tired” now that she’s in her third trimester carrying twins.
“She’s sick and irritable and feels heavy and weak,” the source added.
I guess that means she’ll be adopting next time then…
