I had often wondered what would happen if I were to have been in a car accident during my first trimester when my pregnancy was still a secret, how would the medics take proper care of me? Wish I would have known about this product at the beginning of my pregnancy, as this product does exactly that, lets the medics know not only that the woman is pregnant but any pre-existing medical conditions that she might have. Maternity Alert Medical Advisory was started up by a man who had found that his wife was pregnant and did not like the thought of her driving around in her first trimester when nobody knew she was pregnant.
There are two items for purchase: a necklace or bracelet that is to be worn in case of an accident when the mother cannot speak for herself. The jewelry has the logo, a stork, the mother’s due date and medical alert symbol on the pendent. This jewelry is affordably priced and can be purchased through their website www.mamajewelryco.com, you can also find more information about the owners and product through their website. I really enjoyed reading on how they got this up and going after letting the idea roam about for 12 years!
There is a Medic Alert information card that is included for the mother to fill out her Name, D.O.B., Blood Type, Due Date, Pre-existing conditions, Emergency contact, OBGYN information. You just slip this with your driver’s license in case of an emergency for the medics to be able to treat you properly.
Great things about this item!

4 times a week, I commute to Tampa (FL)..a whole hour and a half from home..2 hours from my midwife/hospital. Although it scares the holy crap out of me..my midwife has assured me that all this driving and the distance is fine. But..its a huge fear that I’ll be on the interstate packed with tourists and snow birds on my way to trying to earning my degree..and I’ll get blindsided by another vehicle. Being so far away from family/my midwife/my registered hospital (which is in Orlando) is nerve wrecking. Having a little charm on me, even though I may be visibly pregnant would be great and a huge comfort. So that if anything happens..at least they know how far along I am..and if nothing happens then great! But it will allow for that..”I’ll be fine” feeling I’m dying for.
Being a first time mom with a lengthy medical history, a pendant would make me feel much better
so perfect. i’m due in february! thank you!
