Send Up a Life-saving "Red Flag" Alert in the First Trimester of Pregnancy
Introducing a life-saving kit that alerts EMTs and other medical professionals of a woman's pregnancy during first trimester of pregnancy when pregnancy may be difficult to detect and expectant mother cannot speak for herself.
(PRWEB) October 2, 2004 -- An estimated 1 in 12 out of 4.5 million
pregnancies a year is complicated by some sort of trauma. Two thirds of those
traumas are a result of motor vehicle accidents. Pregnancy during the first 4 to
5 months can often be very difficult to detect. In the event of a trauma during
pregnancy, it is critical that first response medical crews and health-care
providers are aware of the pregnancy so they can perform procedures and
administer therapy without causing irreversible harm to the mother and her
unborn child.
Debra Phelps, mother of two small children, was inspired to
develop the Maternity Alert Kit following her involvement in a motor vehicle
accident during her second trimester of her own pregnancy. “While I was quite
upset and shaken, I was blessed to not have suffered extensive injuries or loss
of consciousness in the accident,” shares Debra. “I could communicate to the
first response medical team that I was pregnant. The incident really led me to
think about what could have happened in a more serious situation where I could
not have communicated that I was pregnant.”
The one-of-a-kind Maternity
Alert Kit contains everything a pregnant woman needs to alert medical personnel
in the event she cannot speak for herself. Each kit
includes:
? Two (2) Automobile Window
Decals
? One (1) Adjustable Size Medical Alert Bracelet
bearing the word “pregnant”
? One (1) Medical Information
Wallet Card
? One (1) Permanent Marker to write the woman’s
due date on the Automobile Window Decals
Most importantly, the kit
includes “peace of mind” for the pregnant woman and her family that could mean
the difference between a positive outcome and one that could result in danger to
the mother and her unborn child.
Each kit retails for $14.95 plus $1.95
shipping and handling in the continental United States.
