Ellinor said, âI donât know the person whoâs hurt, Iâm just passing by and wanted to help by donating some bloodâ
The doctor was surprised and looked at her appreciatively. âWe donât see many kind hearted girls like you nowadays! Quick, take this good Samaritan to get her blood type. tested if allâs fine, we can start drawing bloodââ
The nurse nodded, âSure thingâ
Ellinor followed the nurse to the blood collection room She was worried about the little girl crying alone outside the emergency room, so she decided to bring her along.
The little girl named Lea Reynolds knew that Ellinor was going to donate blood for her mom. So she quietly followed without any fuss.
After taking Ellinorâs blood, the nurse quickly sent it for testing. Once they confirmed that Ellinorâs blood type was RH negative, they started to prepare for the blood donation Ellinor sat there, rolled up her sleeve, and stretched out her arm to cooperate with the nurse The nurse inserted the needle into her vein and the clear tube quickly filled up.
However, before long, the nurse noticed something was off and asked in concern, âMaâam, are you alright? You look kinda pale. Any medical history I should know about?â
Ellinor shook her head, âNo medical history, my bloodâs healthy. Iâm just about two months pregnant.â
The nurse was taken aback, âWhat? Youâre pregnant? Oh my God! How can you donate blood when youâre pregnant?!â
After saying this, the nurse quickly pulled out the needle and pressed a cotton ball on the puncture site.
Ellinor said, âItâs fine, I know my body well, a little bit of blood wonât hurt. Keep goingâ
But the nurse was adamant, âNo, we canât take any more of your blood! Itâs generally not recommended for pregnant women to donate blood! Youâre being too reckless, what if it affects the health of the babyââ
Ellinor had some medical knowledge, she knew her body condition well, and she was sure that her blood volume was sufficient and that taking a little more would not be a problem The little girl named Lea Reynolds reminded her of her own childhood in the hospital when she realized her mom hadnât come back for a long time.
Back then, she wished for an adult to help her find her mom.
Even now, the thought of the sudden loss of her mom, the confusion, and the fear still sent chills down her spine.
So, she couldnât just leave this little girl, who was about the same age as she was back then She wanted to do her best to help Lea Reynolds save her mom.
If Lea Reynolds were to lose her mom at such a young age, the world would have one more poor child.
As for her own body, she could recuperate after she got home.
âI know my own body, keep going âNo can do! No matter what, we canât take more of your blood! The nurse looked at the half-filled bag of blood that had been taken, âThis might not be enough, but for now, it could stave off the emergency.
Weâll do our best to find other sources of blood.â
The little girl had been listening to Ellinor and the nurse talk. Although she was young, she understood what was happening.
Her eyes filled with tears, and she asked, âNurse, this lady is pregnant and she canât donate blood, so will my momâ¦. Will she be in danger if she doesnât get any blood?â
The nurse wanted to comfort her, but the situation was not optimistic.
Even when talking to a child, one must be responsible. She sighed, âIf we canât find enough blood, your mom mightâ¦â
Ellinor interrupted the nurse, âDonât worry, your mom will be fine! Iâll go find a new source of blood for her right now!â
The nurse was taken aback and looked at Ellinor in surprise. Was she serious, or was she just trying to comfort the child?
The little girl, who looked desperate, suddenly lit up, âReally, maâam! Can you really find another source of blood for my mom?â
Ellinor gently patted the little girlâs head, âUh-huh, I never lie. Wait for me here.â
The nurse didnât want to take any more of her blood, and she didnât want to put the nurse in a difficult position either.
The nurse was undoubtedly looking out for her.
Indeed, pregnant people shouldnât donate blood.
