Be a mournful, weepy mother that submits to being comforted? </i> I don't think that anyone can tell you what you are supposed to do. This is your situation, your sons. If being comforted feels like submitting than I'm not sure it is comforting at all! <br /><br />Personally, I don't think it will ever be ok for me and I don't believe that you will look back in ten years time and think it is all ok either. Even if we both had the support of ten of thousands other mothers in exactly our positions. <br /><br />I know from your posts at Bliss that the condition that caused your placenta to stop functioning is rare and recurring and I know that (in a far simpler situation) I had to push and demand for different care in a subsequent pregnancy. It is horrible when you feel you are banging your head up against a brick wall. Every avenue I can think of for trying to get something done is one that I'm sure you have already thought of. I know for cervical problems, such as those that led to the death of daughter, there is a very well respected consultant who is the guru of things like IC. Is there anyone similar you could consult with regards (perhaps not specifically to CHI) to placental function or similar. Or just a doctor who is really prepared to give you some of his or her time and sit down and discuss your options with you? Have you tried SANDS or Tommy's? Either with regards to putting you in touch with someone or campaigning? I'm sure these are roads you have already gone down and, as such, they are kind of useless but I still feel compelled to offer them.Catherine Whttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01618295389400457254noreply@blogger.com
