Look before you leap

They said in the local newspaper – “a seven month pregnant woman collapsed on a hot summer day and died”. The baby was fine, but the mother didn’t make it. When I wondered how this tragic event took place and read on – it said that she was at a game!
That makes me think if I should name it as careless or carefree. But no matter whatever anyone names this incident…it looks like the baby is going to have to live without its biological mother because the mother wanted to go watch a game outside when the temperature was close to a hundred degrees!
The most delicate state a woman can be is when she is carrying another life inside her. If not for herself or anyone else she holds dear – she should have a minuscule amount of fear in her for the life inside her. A mother’s instincts should be to protect the baby and do everything in her power to keep it safe. Foregoing the chance to watch the Red Sox play the Angels is not a decision that should take more than a split second to make. Some people are willing to give it a thought some people just leave it to fate and the thoughts flood the mind later…
