Thank you for sharing your birth story! And you are very right to advise that we should always seek medical advice as soon as possible if there is anything that is causing concern.

While I was pregnant with my children I had to be careful because I was a Blood type 'O' negative and all of my kids were "A" positive. A few times during my nine months, I fell down while looking after my goats and I sheepishly rang my midwife to see if I should come in. The response was YES! After going into the Hospital and having my babies heart monitored and then being given an injection to guard against me building any antibodies, the midwife told me to always ring if I had any concerns, even if you are feeling a bit silly ! It is always better to be reassured that all is okay!

kind regards,

Tina

great advice thank you for sharing this with us, it is so important to ask questions when you are worried about something especially when your pregnant.

 Good advice. We should remember that asking questions isn't being 'trouble' it's looking after yourself and your child.

This time i will be more careful, i did put alot of things down to just pregnancy last time.

This is very sound advice, and taking note of whats happening to you is very important.  If I hadn't,  I would have lost my eldest at 19weeks, but because I thought something wasn't right I went and had a check up and they operated on me that day.

So heed this advice and take note it might not only save bubbys life but it might just save yours too.
