>>>>>>>>>I cant even find an OBGYN right now who will deliver this baby. My
OBGYN has 
told me I have to find another doctor as her hospital will not let her 
deliver a high rish baby like this. I have visited 4 others hospitals and 
OBGYN's and as soon as they hear my story no one wants me. I feel like such 
a reject of the medical system right now. Like I have a contageous disease 
that no one wants to catch.<<<<<<<<<<



I don't know where you live, but here in Ontario Canada if you show up in
good labour they cant refuse to treat you, we have had patients show up who
have been under the care of doctors at other hospitals but the patient
decided that they wanted to deliver in my hospital so they just came when
they were in labour, we cant turn them away, or another scenario, my friend
was visiting her  mother 2hrs from the  hospital she was to deliver in when
her water broke, so she went to the closest hospital and delivered there. I
know that does not really help with the OB question but I hope it eases some
fears, I assume you live in the US and our health care is different here.
Keeping you in my thoughts, and even though my daughter had a different Dx,
T18 she lived to be 14 1/2 years which was so much more then they told us
she would.
