Looking after your health is always of the utmost importance, as the old saying goes, health is wealth. Good health serves as the cornerstone of being able to enjoy every other part of life. However, there are certain times in a person’s life where prioritizing their health becomes even more essential. This is never more true than when you are pregnant. Whilst pregnancy is undoubtedly a transformative and exciting time for many women, it is also one that presents a unique set of health challenges that must be carefully monitored and managed. 

Within this blog, we will explore the role My Angel Alert Band’s medical ID bracelets play in storing vital health information, providing assistance in emergencies and, most importantly of all, putting the minds of expecting mothers at rest. 

MAAB Can Store Vital Health Information for Pregnant Women 

MAAB’s medical alert bands can serve as a literal lifeline for expecting mothers by storing a whole host of vital medical information. You can rest assured that no matter where you go throughout the day, any medical information that you might need in the instance of an emergency or a routine check up will be at hand with the simple tap of a medical professional’s smartphone. 

Every medical alert bracelet from My Angel Alert Band can store, at your discretion, information regarding: 

Current Medications

Information about any prenatal medications that you might be taking as well as ongoing prescriptions. This gives doctors a clear picture as to which medications that they can and cannot safely give you. This can also be used to keep track of any pregnancy related vaccinations that you have been administered.

Allergies

Medications that you will have adverse reactions to and must not be administered under any circumstances. Certain food allergies that should be noted as they may affect your diet whilst in hospital. Also environmental allergies such as latex which must be heeded during the course of your care. 

Past Surgeries 

History of surgeries that you have had, particularly those that are pertinent to pregnancy and childbirth such as past C sections. 

Medical History and Pre-Existing Conditions

Information that may be relevant whilst giving birth such as complications during previous pregnancies or deliveries, chronic conditions which must be paid special attention during the birthing process and blood type in case the need for a transfusion arises. 

Emergency Contacts

With MAAB you can nominate a number of people you would like to be informed when your medical ID bracelet is tapped. For example, you could include your partner, parents, other relatives or anyone else who you wish to be there when you give birth. 

Other (Pregnancy Related Information, Important Test Results, Labor and Delivery Preferences) 

MAAB also provides a generic ‘other’ section which you can use for any other information that you think is important or relevant to your pregnancy. For example, if you have a specific birth plan that you would like followed or recent test results from an ultrasound that a doctor should be aware of. 

Why Pregnant Women Need Medical ID Bracelets

There are countless individual circumstances in which one of MAAB’s medical ID bracelets would be extremely useful for an expecting mother. These range from health problems specific to pregnancy, assisting pregnant women who have to travel and other issues. Let us explore just a few such examples:

Hyperemesis Gravidarum

Hyperemesis gravidarum (HG) is described as morning sickness times 1000. HG induces severe nausea and vomiting which consequently leads to reduced appetite, dehydration and weight loss. It is distinguished from regular morning sickness by virtue of the fact that it results in a weight loss of 5 per cent or more from your pre-pregnancy weight. It is important for women diagnosed with HG to ensure that they are getting enough nutrients. For many, this can be achieved via a healthy, bland diet whilst others may require medication. Extreme cases can see women being hospitalized and placed on an IV. 

As an expecting mother with HG, MAAB’s medical alert bands can play a vital role in supporting you. In cases of emergency, MAAB will alert healthcare professionals that you have HG, priming them with the knowledge that you may be severely malnourished and dehydrated. If your case requires multiple hospitalizations, MAAB can be used to keep a record of your treatments providing healthcare professionals with a more complete picture of your case and how best to proceed with treatment. Furthermore, a medical alert band from MAAB will reduce the risk of a misdiagnosis of regular morning sickness.

Gestational Diabetes Mellitus

Gestational Diabetes Mellitus (GDM) is a type of diabetes that occurs specifically during pregnancies. As it has no outward symptoms, doctors will screen for it between 24 and 28 weeks in (unless the expecting mother is at high risk). Treatment for GDM is centered around stabilizing blood glucose levels around the normal range. Typically, this will include monitoring blood glucose, diet, exercise and in more severe cases, insulin injections or oral medications. 

If you are suffering with GDM, a medical ID bracelet from MAAB could play a major role in making your life and the lives of healthcare providers significantly easier. It will alert healthcare providers to your condition, ensuring they monitor and manage your blood glucose levels in emergencies or in the course of regular treatment. MAAB will also help prevent the administration of inappropriate treatments such as high-sugar IV fluids that would exacerbate your symptoms. 

Anemia

Anemia, in particular iron-deficiency anemia, is very common during pregnancy. The body creates more blood for the fetus and it therefore needs more iron to produce enough hemoglobin. As such, anemia can lead to spells of fatigue, dizziness and weakness due to insufficient levels of iron. In more severe cases, anemia can cause increased risk of premature birth, low birth weight and postpartum hemorrhage. 

If you are an expecting mother with anemia, MAAB can help. A medical alert band from MAAB will instantly notify a healthcare provider of your condition, allowing them to take the requisite precautions which are crucial in cases where blood transfusions are required. Furthermore, it will alert them and allow them to prepare for complications such as postpartum hemorrhage. Importantly, MAAB will help to prevent the accidental administration of potentially dangerous medications such as blood thinners or certain types of antibiotics. 

Medications

If you are taking any medications during your pregnancy, it is always best for doctors and midwives to be fully informed so they can care for you and your baby as best possible. It is important that they are aware of any of the following that you are taking: 

• Over the counter medicines
• Prescriptions 
• Nutritional supplements 

Keeping track of all this in the midst of pregnancy can be difficult particularly when medications or treatments are being changed and updated. However, with MAAB it could not be easier. All of your medications can be stored easily and simply on your medical ID bracelet meaning that, as soon as it is tapped by a medical professional they will be provided with a comprehensive list of all your treatments. This will provide them with the knowledge that they need to treat you as best possible, avoiding potentially dangerous drug-drug interactions. 

Traveling 

Some women prefer not to travel during pregnancy, particular towards the latter stages. However, in some cases it is necessary and simply cannot be avoided. This can present a unique set of stressors and health concerns. 

MAAB can go a long way to putting some such concerns to rest. For one, the information stored on any MAAB medical ID bracelet can be easily translated in multiple languages. This means that no matter where you are in the world, even if you cannot speak the language of those around you, MAAB will be able to securely communicate the precise conditions of your pregnancy and your specific needs ensuring you get the correct treatment. Furthermore, no matter where you are in relation to your regular healthcare provider, medical professionals will have access to a comprehensive list of your medical history and needs.
