I am a Jehovah's Witness mother who has experienced severe blood loss due to an ectopic pregnancy that ruptured. I was taken from Charleville to Royal Brisbane and went from ?12d/l to 1.7d/l surviving my ordeal!

I have allowed my files from Royal Brisbane to be viewed by the doctors if ever they come across this scenario again, if that helps. I was put on life support to help the load on my heart which I feel helped me live. I have no after effects from the blood loss like they all thought especially since I had to go up in a plane to altitudes that deemed dangerous.!

Hoping this may help & I'm also interested in this area myself as planning on another child in the near future!

Jan Wade's protocol for severe anemia sounds like the protocol I was on with myself taking Iron and folic acid on top in the form of tablets and food sources every day. I left hospital 2 weeks after my ordeal.
