Thanks Ocean however, I have been on the devastating side of losing a child. My experience has taught me that you can never bee TOO CONCERNED or overly paraniod about the state of your health and that of your unborn child. Unfortunately, a lot people have the "It can't happen to me" syndrome and so opinions like yours infect others with passive thoughts that "everything will be just fine"...... BS, everything IS NOT always fine.

And, my sister is 23, bi-polar and has 26 month old twins at home - and she also has a touch of the "it can't happen to me" syndrome. I feel like I have to advocate for her life and the life of her baby because she is too stupid to do it herself.... She's a pushover, but just because she is all these things doesn't mean I will sit back and let another doctor just sit idly by when there are measures that can be taken to save lives.
