[quote=Anonymous]Talk to your current OB and ask them to lay out the plan for you. tell them you know Sibley cannot handle 32 week premies--what happens if you deliver early? How is Sibley prepared to deal with a catastrophic bleeding event since it is not a trauma center? Ask how many cases of Vasa Previa your OB has seen, how many has the entire practice has seen, how often they see it, and how often Sibley has cases of it. Make them spell it out, and don't accept vague answers. And if you get answers that you aren't comfortable with them, say so. I know Sibley's NICU (Special Care Nursery) can handle 34 weekers, but I personally don't know if I would be all that comfortable delivering by planned C at 35 weeks at Sibley. And I saw that as someone who generally doesn't buy into the notion that every baby needs to be born at a place with a top-level NICU (I had a birth center birth!). You're not low risk. You're insanely high risk.[/quote]
