Advanced Medical Directive for EXPECTANT MOMS?

I hear there is a maternity medical directive pregnant JWs give to their obs. 

Can anyone get me a pdf for this? I'd curious to know exactly what it says.

Joojoobean... welcome!

Ah, thanks, 'Alfred'.

This is it! http://www.transfusionguidelines.org.uk/docs/pdfs/bbt-04_care-plan.pdf A UK only thing?

Nothing like that in the US.

If I remember right, here in the US there was a letter to boe about 2 years ago encouraging expectant moms to review an awake article and contact the hlc as a precaution.

Welcome JooJoo.  What stuck said.  There is a thread that posts the contents of the letter somewhere.  I can try and find it.

This document has been prepared as an aid for medical staff and midwives who are managing a Jehovah’s Witness or other patient who refuses a blood transfusion and is at risk of, or experiencing, postpartum haemorrhage.

Found it.

Again, just a letter, not a special directive.

That's different from this:

I was told by several elders that many jws just figured "no blood" at all and never prepared for health issues that could come up.  I knew jws that didn't tell their surgeon they were a jw and would not take a transfusion until their day of surgery. 

Thanks for the link, 'Chapter'. I'll take a look.

This care plan is definitely compiled by the society, Blondie. All UK mums I've known are given one immediately the elders know they are pregnant (not that they necessarily check you've handed it to your carers. Thankfully!).
