Neither skin nor body size should define your acceptability. Foremostly, accept yourself and live healthy, true love will find you regardless! Never forget it is your job to love and accept “You”; always remember “You” are enough!

There she was in tears as she saw her hopes of snatching the Canada Open (Rogers Cup) title disappear into thin air.
Serena is a strong woman made of “steel” but today her body won’t just take it. She’s down with an injury and of course she knows it’s time she ends the game to prevent an aggravation of her condition. Although she’s ”broken”, she still took a bold and wise decision to back out.
After being informed of Serena’s condition, she stands up with all energy galvanized in love.

Bianca stirred with love, empathy and genuine concern for her colleague, she says, ‘Are you okay?…injuries, I have been through so many already and I know how they are…’.
She wrapped her hands around Serena in a warm embrace. Indeed I can imagine Serena went back feeling better instead of outright disappointment and pains. She didn’t lose completely; she won love and mutual respect.
This is the power of love, respect, empathy and concern for the next person even if we are in a contest. Contest will end but love and respect will remain forever! #womensupportingwomen #celebratingwomen ❤

Rhesus disease is a condition where antibodies in a pregnant woman’s blood destroy her baby’s blood cells. It’s also known as haemolytic disease of the foetus and newborn (HDFN). Rhesus disease doesn’t harm the mother, but it can cause the baby to become anaemic and develop jaundice. Rhesus disease only happens when the mother has rhesus negative blood (RhD negative) and the baby in her womb has rhesus positive blood (RhD positive). The mother must have also been previously sensitised to RhD positive blood.

Sensitisation happens when a woman with RhD negative blood is exposed to RhD positive blood, usually during a previous pregnancy with an RhD positive baby. The woman’s body responds to the RhD positive blood by producing antibodies that recognise the foreign blood cells and destroy them.

Check out this link (https://www.nhs.uk/conditions/rhesus-disease/ ) to learn more about the signs of rhesus disease in a baby, the causes of rhesus disease, preventing rhesus disease and treating rhesus disease.

Sometimes life is hard and you can’t control the situation but you can control how you react to it.
