[quote=Anonymous]I’m sorry OP. I think the consensus is clear that you would be best served by a larger hospital that offers the highest level of care for your prenatal care and delivery. I think you and your baby would be very well served by the OB groups at WHC or GW. I have been to both practices and think you would be well served by either group. I think Georgetown could potentially be another option but I would make sure to discuss the potential drawbacks of the hospital not being a level 1 trauma center and what that could mean in the event of a major hemorrhage or other big complications. I would also want to discuss how the hospital ensures they have adequate blood products for deliveries that are riskier and what protocols they have in place if there is major bleeding. Since it sounds like this is a fairly rare condition, I might also choose an older OB who has more experience than someone young. And I would ask the OB directly how many women they have cared for with this complication. Don’t be afraid to advocate for yourself and your baby. You’ve worked so hard for your pregnancy and you deserve the best care you can get. It’s perfectly appropriate to transfer practices in the event of getting a diagnosis like you have. Perhaps your current OB may even have a colleague at one of those centers they could refer you to. Good luck and fingers crossed that this resolves for you without incident. [/quote]
