Help and opinions

I was diagnosed with an Archnoid Cyst just over a year ago. My doctor wanted a note saying that it would be ok to delivery regularly when the time comes so I called the nurologist and they said the doctor doesntsee pregnant patients and that shell just write the note. Should I be worried about delivering naturally? Anybody else have this??

    That's ridiculous that your neurologist won't see pregnant patients. You should find another neurologist that will work with you and your ob to make sure you have a healthy delivery. While I didn't have the same issue as you, I did have a subdural hematoma diagnosed at 35 weeks and I worked with 2 neurologists, the head of neurology at my hospital, an MFM and the head of anesthesia at my hospital. Likely they need to weigh whether or not you can have a spinal or epidural and whether it would be ok for you to push. Those were the concerns for me.

    I had an unmedicated vaginal birth without issue. Good luck and go get that second opinion. If I wasn't so pushy I wouldn't have received the thorough care that I did. You have to be an advocate for your health and your baby's health.
