@becsbuddy Such great ideas, Becky. I'm sure that @marymanning will appreciate these thoughts from a nurse who knows how the hospital system works! Thanks.

Thank you, Becky, for your ideas. She plans to be at their OB/GYN office when they open at 8 in the morning. She wants them to do an ultrasound and tell her how her son is doing and if he is of adequate weight (i.e., 5 pounds plus) she is going to ask that labor be induced. She said that her body is really achy today. She did not have her two IV treatments on Wednesday and Thursday last week, but was sure one of her doctors would have called by now to discuss what the plan is going forward. Since they have not reached out to her, she is going to "reach out" to them. Their offices are in the same building as the hospital, and yet none of them (6??) bothered to even come by at the end of their day to check on her. Because her first doctor did not treat "high risk" patients, he referred her to these doctors. But, I am not happy with their lack of support, compassion, and assurance for Katie and her son. Thank you for all of the information. It has been helpful.
