Abortion and Fibroids: Seeking Second Opinion - A Patient's Story


Question
I went to get an abortion when I was 7 weeks pregnant.  The doctor said they couldn't do it in the clinic because I am anemic so I needed to go to the hospital in New Jersey.  I went to the hospital and they said that I have fibroids that are big and that I can not get a "regular" abortion.  She said either I keep the baby (which is not an option for me) or I get a partial hysterectomy.  I am now about 9 weeks pregnant and I really need another opinion.  I cant keep this baby but I also think a hysterectomy is extreme...please help me!!

Answer
Dear Missy - I would highly recommend the following group of doctors.  They are in Manhattan.   The number is 212-860-2600. Tell them the situation.  They may be pricey, but they are definitely worth it.  If they can help you, they will.  Please let me know what happens,
Doctor Joan
