Recommend an OB/midwife in Boston, MA or north?
I am 23 weeks pregnant and searching for a new OB or midwife in the
Boston Mass area, or north of there. My baby has a problem, possibly a neural tube defect or a sacrococcygeal teratoma. Diagnosis still is not certain. For either diagnosis, the default standard of care is a scheduled C-section well before the EDD; the highest standard of care is to plan for an unscheduled natural vaginal delivery if the problem remains small and all other indications are favorable. So far, the problem is small (a cyst hanging off the tailbone, about the diameter of the baby's ankle) and all other indications are very favorable. At this point, the plan is to treat the baby after delivery at Children's Hospital Boston. CHB does not deliver, so a transfer will be required. Delivery at a hospital with a level 3 NICU is recommended, but perhaps not necessary. A level 2 nursery may suffice. Apart from advanced maternal age, I am in a low risk pregnancy category. I have a healthy 2yo born precipitately and with no intervention after an entirely uneventful pregnancy. If at all possible I would like a second natural labor and delivery, but this requires finding a caregiver who is comfortable with my non-standard situation. I don't have an established Mommy Network in the Boston area, so I am casting here for leads to suitable caregivers. Follow-ups to m.k.pregnancy, where I have been a regular for 3 years. Thanks! |
