I also feel that doctors refuse to treat a child with a disability (such as T18) and fighting with ignorant doctors is not something I need to do once again. <br /><br />Have you been or are pregnant? I am just curious if you have been lucky enough to have doctors who are gracious, helpful and attentive. I have had both sides. For me, when you have a doctor who really listens and helps rather then criticizes, your pregnancy and well-being overall is much more better experience wise. Have been in my shoes with doctors who are sometimes know-it-alls and believe that their superiority is better then your "life experience" Worrying for me is part of being pregnant. It comes with the territory. You can never just "not" worry. Everything up until the day you deliver and bring baby home brings concern. I can't bring my regular doctor back, so for now, I just have to make my point come across very clear. I don't back down as my health and the health of my child are too important. Everyone should fight for that. Until I have reason "not" to be worried, then this feeling will stick with me. Its that wonderful thing called "mommy gut" you just know when something seems out of sort. <br /><br />Thanks for the helpful ideas though.Kileyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09503417265126874065noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3842222782405978277.post-24485332273059382732010-05-15T10:47:25.421-04:002010-05-15T10:47:25.421-04:00If your that worried why don't you have an amn...If your that worried why don't you have an amnio since your not worried about doctors not taking measures if you were to go into labor. That way you would have piece of mind and not stress. If your relaxed you will have a healthier pregency.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3842222782405978277.post-57940645841495658452010-05-14T22:28:21.352-04:002010-05-14T22:28:21.352-04:00My mistake, baby would have a 49 to 70 percent cha...My mistake, baby would have a 49 to 70 percent chance of living outside my belly. And that for me is better then 0. Especially when statistics are better then they were with carrying Anabelle. I of course want him to stay in for much longer then this.Kileyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09503417265126874065noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3842222782405978277.post-53107822638300106622010-05-14T22:03:39.534-04:002010-05-14T22:03:39.534-04:00Well, first of all I didn't say I was going to...Well, first of all I didn't say I was going to have this baby at 24 weeks. Second of all, I am sorry and saddened that 24 weeks doesn't hold the same feelings as it does for me. For me passing the 24 week mark means more to me then anything for many reasons. Which means that if something was to happen my doctor will see this as a viable pregnancy and not look at it as a "late" miscarriage.<br /><br />Second of all, my past history of babies moving, size, and measurements will make me worry. When I was pregnant with<br />anabelle her movements were infrequent and sporadic. Because of this, idobt rely on doctors words, or anything until baby is born and comes home with me. So I will worry. Because an ultasound is just that. An ultrasound. It cannot tell you 100 percent if something is wrong or not. So until this little guy makes<br />waves, moves more, and I start looking and feeling pregnant then I amgoing to worry. Six pregnancies, yes CAN BE differently, but because I know what to look for and have a mommy gut to worry. I will do so until otherwise.Kileyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09503417265126874065noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3842222782405978277.post-74490358653549726172010-05-14T20:24:46.462-04:002010-05-14T20:24:46.462-04:00First of all 24 weeks has no where close to 95% su...First of all 24 weeks has no where close to 95% survival. 24 weeks has a greater chance of death then life still. Makes me sad to see that you would think it would be remotely close to ok to give birth now. Second this is your 6th baby and each baby carries different. You are a bit heavier then you were in your past pregnancies so you might not feel the baby moving as strongly. I would say stop worrying and be happy to be having a healthy baby boy.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
