I heard someone say that the swine flu striking pregnant women very hard reminded them about the bible verse ( Woe to them who are heavy with child in those days )

Do any of you have any thoughts or comments ?

Pregnant women infected with the new H1N1 swine flu have a much higher risk of severe illness and death, U.S. government researchers said on Wednesday, confirming a trend that has worried global health experts.

Hi DVDMom.
Just an update on my real life Swine Flu experiences!

You remember I told you my friends Hubby was feeling unwell over the weekend? Well, he's come down quite badly with flu today, and so has 2 of 3 of my friends boys too.
Unlike the rest of us, he's got a deep cough with lots of phlegm [hate that word], and has quite a fever because of the deeper infection.
Only thing to note is that he is a heavy smoker, and he is moderately overweight too, which is obviously a factor.

Her boys are suffering the same as She and I did, slight fever, headache, tummy problems, catarrh, dizziness.
I took her to the NHS Tamiflu Point to collect a bagful of the stuff for them all! She is fully recovered and is now nursing all three of them!
Her youngest is 3, and has been prescribed Tamiflu too, although as of 8 o clock this evening, he was ok.

Stay safe x

I think the Bible verse has MORE to do with having to travel pregnant or with a young child.

However, I suspect the verse will be applicable in a number of respects.
