| Hello....Is There A Doctor in The DU House???? |
|
.....That can answer to the risk of a pregnant woman's water breaking and then her taking 9 hours to get to the hospital flying in a pressurized cabin of an aircraft in the mean time.....
So far I have not seen any post from a doctors view yet......or heard one on any talk shows....

| 3. It's not that the cabin is pressurized.. |
|
It's that the pressure is considerably less than sea level pressure or the pressure where the aircraft took off from.
I'm not a doctor and I don't even play one on TV and I didn't even stay at a Holiday Inn Express last night but I know a little about airplanes.

| 4. Here's a thread from a doctor |
|
http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=show_mesg&forum=132&topic_id=6860560&mesg_id=6860560I heard an ER doc call in to Thom Hartman and he said the pressurization itself is not an issue but the ruptured membranes/5th preganancy certainly made it urgent for her to seek medical care.

| 7. This Doc On Hartman's Show Made The Point That Knowing It Was A DS Baby;.... |
|
that she was purposely putting the baby at risk by doing this. Maybe so that it might not make the trek.

| 5. Apparently not as great a risk as having your kid born in Texas. |
|
That was actually the stated reason.
It's about judgment America!

| 6. There are a few up in GD-P and one from a family practitioner, and most said she should have gotten |
|
her ass to the hospital the moment her water broke/leaked (depending on which account). There is a great youtube video of a chart posted yesterday by our own TwoSparkles. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aoPK4pvOE4oTwoSparkles' post http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=show_topic&forum=132&topic_id=6855834 |
