Any of these symptoms, if severe, or allowed to continue, may be dangerous
to yourself or your baby.
A miscarriage or threatened miscarriage requires medical advice.
They must not be neglected or thought to be unimportant, for they may
give rise to complications, or result in chronic ill-health, and interfere
with another pregnancy.
Care of the Mother after Child-birth.
Mothers are strongly advised to return to the Clinic, or Hospital,
for a "Post-Natal" examination a few weeks after confinement to make
certain that their organs have made a good recovery.
Any disturbance of health during this time should lead to a doctor
being consulted immediately.
Accouchement Sets (Sterilised Maternity Outfits) may be obtained at
cost price at the various Clinics.
Ambulance Service for Maternity Cases.
For expectant mothers who have arranged to be confined in recognised
Maternity Hospitals within the Administrative County of London,
facilities are available for obtaining an ambulance to convey them to
Hospital.
Particulars may be obtained from the Medical Officer of Health,

Infant Consultations.—Have been well attended. There has been
some falling off in the attendances of ' 'toddlers'' owing to the very early
age at which they are now going to school. This is a disappointment to
the Clinic Medical Officers and the Health Visitors and every effort is
made to get the mothers to attend with the "toddlers" at least once a
month. The Measles epidemic also lowered the Clinic attendances.
The co-operation of the Royal College of St. Katharine is of the
greatest assistance in our work.
Our thanks are due to the voluntary workers at the Clinics, to
the various associations which have given grants towards dentures, and
to the friends who have sent clothing, woollies, etc., for the Jumble Sales.
