[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I would call this doctor back, say no OB would take me at this late date and let him know that you’ve decided to have the baby at home. Preferably leave that as a message.[/quote]

She's already been discharged from care due to being high risk (insulin dependent, out of control blood sugars, macrosomia) and her original OB cannot care for her anymore, it happens. She has already been referred, but doesn't want to see that OB for whatever reason. Your advice would make her seem crazy.

OP It doesn't seem like you understand you are a high risk patient, and both you and you baby can have serious outcomes during pregnancy, birth, and even after birth. You really should see who were referred to. [/quote]

Health outcomes are worse for people who just take the doctors word on everything. OP seems like she understands the situation fully and is trying to figure out what to do.

The sibley ob dropped her with no notice and no conversation. That is bad medicine. OP is allowed to chose another hospital that meets her needs that isn't in line with their suggestion. Georgetown is 5 minutes from sibley and more than equipped to deal with her. It makes no sense to not refer her there.[/quote]

Op here. I didn't want to just take any doctor that will take me at this point, because I want to be a little more proactive and at least identify someone that I feel comfortable with.  [/quote]
