Let’s All Link Hands and Prevent Problems during Pregnancy

Hi I’m Georgia! Thank you for taking the time to read my blog! Supporting the Tommy’s Charity is something I really want to make more common as one of the problems that the Tommy’s Charity works towards preventing, affected me. Not many people are aware of what the Tommy’s Charity do, but after reading my blog I hope you will be more aware of the problems the Tommy’s Charity try to prevent and more likely to support them for it.

Half of babies born before 22 weeks don’t survive…10 stillborn babies are born each day…Pre-eclampsia complicates over 20,000 births in  Britain each year…1 in 4 women lose their babies due to miscarriages...The Tommy’s Charity works towards discovering a cause and therefor a cure for all these illnesses. Miscarriages and stillbirths are both when the baby dies before it is given birth to (the difference is the length of the pregnancy when it occurs). Pre-eclampsia is when the mothers immune system can’t handle the placenta and multiple organ failures occur. Premature birth is when the baby is born before full term and is unable to function on its own. I was born prematurely so I know first-hand how much worry it causes parents through what I have been told from my family.

Many ill babies like this one need your help. Don’t let them down.

The Tommy’s Charity are trying to stop the heartache of losing a baby to any of these illnesses, and are teaching pregnant women how to treat their bodies in a way that won’t hurt their babies, which will contribute to lowering the shocking statistics of new-born loses. But without donations from people like you, none of this can continue…
