[quote=Anonymous]I’m sorry you are dealing with this OP. I’ve never heard of this condition and just read up on it and it is extremely rare. It sounds like the major concerns are massive blood loss for you and the baby. Personally, I am not sure I would be comfortable delivering at a community hospital like Sibley with a risky condition like this. Ideally I would want to be at a hospital that is a level 1 trauma center and has a high grade NICU. In DC WHC and GW are level one trauma centers. Children’s is also a level one trauma center but you can’t deliver there. It is, however, connected by an underground tunnel to Children’s making transfer easier than from other locations. In terms of NICUs, I believe Georgetown and Children’s are level 4 (highest). GW and WHC are level 3.

Why don’t you talk to your doctor and see if it might be better for you to transfer care to a different hospital that offers higher levels of care, like GW or WHC? Given the rarity of this condition I’m not sure you will find many who have experienced it but maybe I am wrong.[/quote]
