There are some great questions to ask your doctor. If he says 'no ' then you find yourself a different doctor. There really has to be a change in how we medically look at women at this time. I mean this is not just baby gloom.
A pregnant woman facing the most dire circumstances must be able to count on her doctor to do what is medically necessary to protect her from serious physical harm.
And for my family comedically that was the key to a lot of the humor.
If children have the ability to ignore all odds and percentages then maybe we can all learn from them. When you think about it what other choice is there but to hope? We have two options medically and emotionally: give up or Fight Like Hell.
As a medical doctor it is my duty to evaluate the situation with as much data as I can gather and as much expertise as I have and as much experience as I have to determine whether or not the wish of the patient is medically justified.
