Postpartum pulmonary embolism 
In July of 2013 I was 5 weeks postpartum and ended up with a blood clot in my lung.. fast forward 10 months we are now pregnant with our 3rd child. I called today to schedule an appointment with my midwife and was devastated when lady on the phone told be that I could no longer see my midwife that I am now high risk. I had a consultation with a high risk OB and I already feel as if she is trying to over manage and dictate my birth by scheduling numerous US, and a visit with perinatology , and who knows what more they will want to throw in the pot. I feel smothered but because of my insurance am forced to be seen within the practice at my work. any suggestions. I am not naive to my situation however I think that may women forget that birth is a billion dollar industry and we have all become victims to it. any advice or comments are welcomed. thanks for listening.
