Special Request to Sanjayji and Narasimha

[Guest guest]

Pranam Gurudev Sanjay and Narasimha,

 

This is a request for your guidance in what is a life

and death decision for us. However inactive shishya I

have been of yours, I am requesting both of you to

take some time from your lives and give us some

advice. Here is the long and short of it:

 

We are presently in the Washington DC metro area. My

wife Himali conceived in November 2002. On 12th Feb,

the doctor could not see the foetus in the sonogram

and diagnosed that the foetus had disintegrated around

5th week or so. She advised an immediate D & C

procedure and carried it out the same day. When my

wife went for a follow-up on 28th Feb, the doctor

(grossly negligent by not reading the report for so

long) was alarmed to see a 'No Pregnancy Tissue Found'

in the D & C report. After a quick blood-test, they

found that pregnancy hormone 'SCG' levels had shot up

from 46,000 before the D & C to 119,000 2 weeks

following 'D & C'. The doc panicked and gave us some

more misleading advice as conducting Laparascopy if

the pregnancy was in the Fallopian Tubes...(sic)

 

Meanwhile, with the doctor's permission, I had asked

my wife to proceed to India to recuperate from the

D & C. On consulting with 3 OB-GYN and

Pre-Natal/Neo-Natal specialists in India, we find that

my wife is STILL pregnant. She is carrying an

appropriately developed 16 week old baby with a heart

beat of 159 beats/minute. However, the biggest

question in front of us is that after the D & C

procedure, my wife was administered Methagine and

Doxycycline, both anti-Pregnancy drugs for a week,

along with a host of 800 mg pain killers (and general

anasthesia during procedure). These drugs threaten

our otherwise healthily developing child from a huge

risk of birth defects! They are equivalent to choking

a person (here cutting the blood supply to the uterus)

and then giving a fresh lease of life!

 

Our question to you is that we have to decide within

one week whether we should keep the pregnancy or

terminate it by induced labor. FYI, my wife had to

undergo a D & C in Feb 1998 as well. We are not looking

for answers, but for advice that can help us make the

decision. Your advice will help us and we would

forever appreciate it. If you think we need to

approach you in a different manner, please advise as

well. Our JHD files are attached along with birth

details below:

 

Myself: Jitendra on 9th Dec 1972 at 22.45 hours at

Agashi (Mumbai, India)

Wife: Himali on 8th Nov 1968 at 20.30 hours at Mumbai,

India.

 

Sincerely,

Jitendra
